Yeah, youre right..
the only strike craft of any use are the Cloaked Fighters (good for ambushing resourcers, little expensive tho), Defense fighters (shoots down enemy fire, cute looking), Repair corvettes, Salvage corvettes and Minelayers.
Scouts are only good for chasing down other scouts (speed burst special ability)(good for distracting MDs though).
Interceptors, too expensive to use effectively against capships, dies easy.
Attack Bomber, same as interceptor.
Defender is the best of the fighter class other than the ones already mentioned. Builds fairly quick and it can track 3 targets at once. Put a group of em in wall formation/evasive and set em on frigates, they dance in front of it, meanwhile youre salvage corvettes are coming up behind the frigate.
Light corvette, too expensive, too weak.
Heavy corvette, a bit better, can track 2 targets and its special hurts capships (charged burst).
Also, the only way the MD is really effective is when its paired with a gravwell generator. Lock those fighters down and just pick em off.
