Missile fighters practical?

[paltrysum]

I was looking to convert some of the CT Zhodani ship designs to MgT2 and noticed in Adventure 4: Leviathan that the Shivva-class patrol frigate contains a squadron of 8-ton missile fighters. Is that practical in MgT2 terms? I suppose in concert against a single target, a wave of fighters could overwhelm a ship's defenses with several individual missile salvos. Just wanted to collect some opinions before proceeding.

Yes, it works.

You can launch a large number of tiny salvoes, or bunch up the fighters into squadrons and launch larger salvoes.

Lots of tiny salvoes will have a problem hitting, but will be very difficult to EW and PD, since there will be too many salvoes.

Medium fighters with missile barbettes will probably work better than light fighters with a single missile rack.

Looks like missiles are getting uppowered, so yeah.

Optimal configuration, we'll have to await the next print run of Core.
