Right, but the fighters STILL can't be attacked or destroyed by ANY of
those "weenie madness" ships.  The fighters will still slaughter those
weenie ships unless you imposed some currently non-existant rules about
fighter groups being degraded by the loss of thier carrier.

Who cares?

Fly in like the blazes, blow the crap out of the carriers, and then FTL
out.

The fighters are dead soon enough...

Or just accelerate, accelerate, accelerate - until their endurance is
used
up and then they die if the 'victory conditions' require you to stay on
the
board.

Never mistake a points system for a campaign system as a method to
balance
out a game.
