Re: Kawangi Safari
a fighter - any fighter - is the death of any capital ship that does not have a rear fireing arc. like anything besides a large zorg ship.
I even killed a vent mother with Ripcord. The VM locked onto my capital ship (which had nothing but neptunium railguns for point defense, and a short range beam). the fighter swept behind the VM, and hammered on its rear arc (just out of range of its point defense lava vents) until it died. The thing exploded just before it got in range of my Terran Frigate's beam weapon.
Fighters do, in fact, rock. Keeping them alive in a larger firefight is hard, and takes a lot of attention. But it can be done. And their ability to distract half an incoming flotillia should not be understated.
