To add to my previous post, how about granting many, if not all, LFs dual-CMs? The quickest way to take out an LF in a group fight is for everyone to just lob missiles at them. And since they lack the armor or a greater CM count to counter such a thing, they are (from what I've experienced as an LF pilot) usually quick to die in group snub fights. If LFs had dual-CMs, then they would be likely to survive longer/escape more easily than other ship types. Not to mention - You could retain CM capability while sporting a cloaking device, if that's what you want to go for.
Alternatively, you could even give certain LFs an unlimited-ammo, power core eating CM. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that CMs will not only throw off munitions aimed at your own ship, but they will also throw off munitions aimed at others, too. What better way to support a cap fight than acting as the designated CM spammer? (Yes you can target missiles to CD them, but that's also hard to accomplish when others are actively shooting you). Combine this with special core-draining pulses (Ones that affect power core instead of shields), and you have a support ship that's seriously capable of making an impact in a fleet engagement.
