Note 80 AD at your fleet not ship. It's the crits that will probebly hurt the most. We say 12 fighters can surround just from when used counters.
Avengers can drop all it's fighters in 2 turns with no scramble scramble.
Once fleets are close e-mine become very limited as you can't accidently hit your own ships and most are fwd arc only. You also have to have a large amount of e-mines too make this very hard to use. Avengers are tough and can withstand a beating trying to close the range probably moving at 10.5 " to get quicker and get behind you. Most e-mine ships are lightly armed otherwise.
When a play my Centauri against narn i don't drop my fighters till im close real close.
The best fleet i could think of against a 5 avenger fleet would be 2 G'Quans, 2 G'Karith. Remembering the avengers will close to fire at you so that is more firepower not real scary or anything. That is the hardest it's going to get for the EA. Then they might only have 3 Avengers (24) furies, 3 Hermes (3) and 2 Sags . Can you say crit heaven.
Scout Saucers aren't anti fighter because they fire after the fighters and they ignore stealth. Hermes is going to take 1 fighter every 2 turns. Waste of a missle since you come with a fury.
The real problem with this fleet is that the Avenger is battle lvl ship in the raid slot for Early years. 1 raid pt is 9 furies but you can get 8 with a hull 5 40 hit ship.
If people start taking flights of fighters instead ships your ships die you genarally lose and you have less. Have fighters fire in groups and all the problems go away.
