Who cares?

I go back to campaign play as the real balancing factor. Any
construction
system can be abused, so can most campaign rules. But if you must fix
through rules than rather than 'fix' fighters I'd rather see an arms
race
and some new form of anti-fighter tech.

Like... Hmmmm... Anti-Fighter Salvo Missles or something like that. PSB
as
something akin to a submunitions pack.

Or some big Pulse MT missle that does little or no damage vs ships and
only
damages fighters and maybe strikeboats.
