What about tweaking it so that interceptors are the default fighter, and
the multi-role ones that are standard now cost more?

My books are all being borrowed right now, but leave interceptors at the
base cost (18/squadron or 3/fighter, I think?) and bump the multi-role
cost up a bit - two extra points per fighter, or 12/squadron. Something
like this, anyway. In effect, make the multi-role a 'specialized'
fighter
type, like torpedo & heavy fighters are now.
