Ah, I see.  I thought you meant fighters were "small manned spacecraft". 
Manned is part of it, but I personally wouldn't classify a dedicated kamikaze craft as a fighter.  Nor would I employ such a thing, unless the situation was truly desperate.

Still, I see no (conceptual) problems with the suicide fighter approach.  They're going to be cheaper than a ship, so mutual suicide is perfectly fine.  XD
My point was that if the railguns are powerful, then there is a chance that your ships could avoid suicide.  We'll have to see how it works when (or if) Steve gets us NA.
