[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I think that's a job for a second tier of fighters. There are uses for warp-driven small craft, but point defence isn't one of them. I'd suggest using sublight, short-range fighters in B5 style to defend installations and sublight ships and formations, and separate warp-capable craft for the missions Masao envisages. Replace the warp engines with more, better or heavier weapons in the sublight craft... Or even build modular fighters, in the "killer bee" style. Engines could be separate modules (one for warp, one for impulse-only), while the cockpit/weapons combo could be another. The idea of an engine/weapons combo and a separate cockpit is a silly one IMHO, though. Unless you can launch the engine and weapons unmanned. Which is a neat idea, actually.
