Fighters are broken. Can we fix them?

[Alneyan]

I've just noticed something... what I am arguing exactly? I think I pretty much went astray here. Still, I was only discussing point-blank attacks, where the PDC accuracy bonus is pretty much wasted against most fighter designs: at longer ranges, the +70 starts paying off. Even then though, those fighters are lacking in combat modifiers (no armour, no ship training, ECM/CS that are a lot more limited).

Perhaps you thought I compared these +70 to the CS +65, implying they were separate, instead of working together? Now that I am giving it a closer look, it looks like that was your point.
