In addition, Eric's suggested "fix" - KV scatterguns - DO change the
rules, because there are no mixed-race-tech ships among the default
ships,
and many people don't mix tech in their custom designs; indeed, Jon
suggests against it in FB2.

We're probably going to run thru the entire fighters debate, yet again,
so
here's my contribution: fighters are too cheap. The cost should go up by
1.5x or 2x per group. You're paying for a weapon system that is
invulnerable until *it* decides to attack something, which is something
no
other ship or system in FT has.
