http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lWell, I have been
using the unofficial rules that Jared Noble put together as
the base for my Multi-Ability fighters.
http://www.homegame.org/siefert/uftwwwp/files/fighters.htm
Now this are pre-fleet book but I have worked out, and did some of it
talking back and forth with Jared a while back, and also used Jerry Cantrill
mods to get my my own system.

Anti-Ship           Cost Eff      Range Notes

5=5, &
6=6
Anti-Fighter      Cost Eff     Notes
Limited* 0 0 Destroys 1 enemy fighter on roll of 6 Standard 1 1 Attacks as
beam weapon
Interceptor           2      2      Attacks as beam weapon with +1 to
die roll
* This free capability is a reflection of using the fighter's anti-ship
weapons against fighters (for which it is not really intended) Realistically
Torpedo fighters or Fighters with no anti-ship capability should have no
'free'
anti-fighter ability.
