Subject: [FT] fighters are fighters, not small ships
One good argument: If, as we do, you play fast moving vector with the three counter (past, current, future) for vectors, go ahead and add in an extra 100% (a guess, but if carriers bring 6 fighter groups, then 50% would be my minimum guess at the added number of ship equivalents in a big fleet) to the number of counters to handle and move each turn. NO THANKS.:) Fighters are very simple as they are. There are probably loopholes (the high speed ship slipstreaming hordes of slower fighters). But by en large the rules work.
