Capships, increasingly slower fighters? Or strategic weapons?

[Dantrithor]

GB's are not that good at fighting fighters/bombers which arent focused at they. You can evade more or less even an enemy full-missile gb (as extreme case, i have flown bombers against missile gb's, not only flown missile gb's against bombers) as long as you do not fight it, but choose another target (like another gb, or a cruisr or above better).

On the other hand, fighters are a real threat to the bomber, in the sense that they can force the bomber to engage the fighter and try to score an ocassional hit on the cap ship, but forcing them to disengage the cap ship once and again. So fighters are still needed.
