Caps vs Fighters

[Thurgret]

Small numbers of fighters and bombers in FreeSpace can be very significant, and yet capital ships there are still very scary things.

I'm not saying we should turn Freelancer into FreeSpace - I'd just go play FreeSpace if I wanted that - but some of the concepts there may perhaps work in Freelancer. In FreeSpace, fighters are quite capable of taking out subsystems (nav, sensors, engines etc.) and turrets, and can indeed sometimes take the capital ships out entirely, though that tends to require quite some time. The concept is one that might perhaps be applicable to Freelancer.
