Out of curiousity, what rules do most tournaments use for selecting fighter
types? I don't really play many tournaments because I really don't like them
in general. I wouldn't want to select any of the differing cost types for
swapping out because it affects point cost calculations, but wouldn't it make
sense to be able to swap out standards and interceptors? As a side note, you
could rationalize swapping out attack, long range, or fast fighters as
well. Fast is the ship stripped down and anti-fighter
weapons added, long range is the ship with extra fuel
cells, and attack is with Anti-ship ordnance.

Same here, which is the reason for my above comment.

Well, in the tormanents Paul Radford and I run, we have pre-defined
fleets (Allan Goodall's tormanent fleets IIRC) where, if any of the ships have
fighter bays, we cost the fleet assuming normal multirole fighters, and list
how many surplus points the player has for upgrading the fighters (if
required). Again, IIRC, each player will know what fleet the other has, and
can chose fighters accordingly.
I've considered the possibility of allowing fighters to be re-armed with
different loadout, perhaps requiring additional time in the hangers? Although,
I'm tempted to make it a Phalon speciality (or let Phalons
're-configure' their fighters quickly) - based on the assumption that
Phalon fighter weapons are scaled down Pulsars.

For tournaments I run, fighters must be specified before the tournament
