I have my fun with the Rhymer Ball, but I want to try something else. I also realize that the days with no fighter are over, so I am trying to put together and list with minimal cheap, deterrent fighters. Really just a bunch of TIES to defend my ISD and VSD's from someone else's fighter attack.

I have found that you can get a pretty large fighter screen of TIEs for pretty cheap, but I am also considering equipping all my ships with Quad Laser Turrets, but I just don 't know if they would provide any deterrent. Imagine I get attacked by B-wings. With 5 hits it will take about 10 counter attacks to kill them. 10 bombing runs from a b-wing will seriously ruin just about anything.

My ISD has 2 blue and one of my VSD is the Warlord so they will do okay at AA fire. And I would hope my TIEs would do some damage too, but their real purpose is to tie stuff up.

The Question is the Quad Laser Turrets a viable part of the anti-fighter strategy or is it just too little to justify the points and the upgrade slot.

Feels like a waste of an upgrade slot to me, but if you are going to do it, you'd probably want to do it with Ruthless Strategists to double-down on the damage you are putting out with that counter-fire.

Double Posty, seems like most jumped on the posty here:

EDIT: GAH! Sorry Xanderf. I was trying to get in before someone posted, and you snuck in front of me!
