How about the fighter from http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewtopic.php?p=900266#p900266? Arm it with pulse lasers
Fight 1 fighter vs 10 drones.
Missiles: A double salvo is 2 * 10 missiles:
2 * ( 10 - 6[def] ) = 8 missiles. Two single pulse lasers kill 2 * 2 = 4 missiles.
4 missiles hit doing 4 damage, killing the fighter twice over.
Laser:
2D +7[basic] +1[accurate] -2[target's basic defence] = 2D + 6 ⇒ AvD 2 * 96,9% * 4/10 * 55% ≈ 0,42 damage killing 42% of the enemy force.
Medium fighters cannot counter missile drones.
Edit: Capital damage and hull... Conclusion reversed.
