When i was is FA this day I came up with the following idea.
Defender (Fighter)
If you launch this fighter it wil stay close to you and follow you everywhere you go(exept in jump). It will defend you. When an enemy ship comes closer, say within 300gu, the fighters will engage it.
The weapon specs:
I was thinking of 2 beams (cl550).
Defending (order)
When you launch a defender fighter you can give it the order to defend another ship. But it has to be within euhm 1000gu?
Tell me what you guys think of my idea and suggestions are welcome

Did you ever read Dev log? As long as you don't aim at a target, ALL fighters cover you. And there are special fighters for PD!

Assault fighters and Interceptors may be orders to escort, your, or another player's, starship.
Additionally, Interceptors will enguage missiles and bombs that come in their range.
Interceptors are armed with a kind of beam weapon for this purpose.

Side note:
People should drop the concept that fighters would use any kind of device that is from normal starships.
Fighters are too small, with too limited a power plant, to be able to use devices suited for starships. Instead, they use their own specially designed devices.
So, when proposing, say, weapons for a type of fighter, don't say "two cl550". Instead, say "two beams with X range and do damage somewhere between Y weapon and Z weapon", etc. Be specific on charge times.
I also suggest people wait until v1.482 for any detailed suggestions on fighter equipment. That way, you will be better informed as to the capabilities of a fighter.
