I was using Star Trek (ST) as an example
of a genre that isn't hot on fighters. In FASA
there WERE no fighters. In SFB there were, 
but they were more of a harassing influence
than a dominating one as they are (or can
be) in Full Thrust.

So, if you are playing Full Thrust in the Star
Trek universe, there's no reason you would
(as an example) expect fighters. Why? Well
if you give Starfleet some credit for intelligence,
it's probably for some good reason. Maybe 
they can't carry hot enough guns to hurt the
ships through their shields.
