RE: [FT] Yet Another Fighters Suggestion

Seems like the perfect opponent to use Waveguns or PBL-1 against.
Or even *gasp* a few fighter squadrons.  Fighter jocks really like
targets
that can't shoot back...

Played a tournament game a few years back (report is in the archives),
where
I had a KV battlegroup with a fighter squadron, up against a PBL Phalon
Swarm fleet; at ludicrous speed (40+) the fighters were very useful in
channelling the Phalons in front of my railguns (and even took out a
ship or
two themselves).
