One of the things that pops to mind is the BYOF (bring your own fleet)
scenario
that some people host. This happened at an ECC a few years ago, which
more than
illustrated the overwhelming power of an all-fighter fleet vs a "normal"
fleet.
The "normal" fleet had zero chance to do anything other than die (it was
the
last(?) great Canadian-American FT game, iirc; I'm sure others will
verify it
for me ;-).
