Cargo, is not "combat ready", and thus, should not be able to mount a defense. Fighters, for example, as cargo, are packed for transport.
Lerchey, why can't you design these fighters like instant noodles (no I'm not kidding!)? The major trend in the aviation industry right now is the emphasis on cutting maintenance time and cost. Who knows what will be the result 3 hundred years later? There are combat aircrafts designed to be deployed from a packed crate in 20 minutes already, and I'm sure they can do a lot better than that in 300 years. You can probably just kick the thing out the back of your transport by then and everything else will be done for you automatically and quickly...
