What's the current view re beam fighters - I've noticed over the years that typically this hasnt been seen particularly effective compared with missile carrying fighters - but I thought I saw some recent posts (cant find them now) that suggested that beam boats were more viable again. Just wanted to check the consensus before I started a carrier fleet strategy.
Also, when designing missiles for fighters to carry, would I be right in assuming that people generally designed them to be shorter range than ship borne variants - taking account of the distance a fighter would approach the target, or do people generally use the separation generated by the fighters to protect the main fleet
Thanks again for all your help
