Can we reopen the Meson discussion?

Practically everyone agreed that meson fighters were ridiculously over-powered.   However, since the AI didn't build them and players could choose not to they were only a problem if you made them one.

I encountered a squadron of meson fighters in VB.  They blew up my bombers after a failed strike on what I thought was a slow beam armed ship.

That sounds like the swarm, which function different from the other NPRs.

I've only ever seen the swarm alone, this was a pack of 5 with a much faster 200kT friend.

Yup, Swarm.
