Well, fighters don't cost 6 points.  Roger posted this soapbubble:

So that's 45 points to bring a fighter bay to the table--and you'll need
to
actually buy the fighters too.	So you're at total 63 points or more,
depending on what fighters you buy--does that look better when compared
to
your 50 point escort?
