Every effort I've tried along these lines has been a double failure. Leaders
for fighter or corvette formations tend to get smoked, and dedicated ADFC
boats designed to hang behind capital ships also can't
shoot down enough fighters to be cost-effective.

I came to the conclusion that ADFC was either overpriced or overmass, but many
of my experiments were with the earlier ADAF system from FT2. Given the way
ADFC works and is priced, it only makes sense to put it on the largest ships
possible.

You must be running IE on a Windows platform, however (uses vbscript).
