Fighters need faster guns, so that dodging like crazy is not as effective anymore as it is now. Certain ships can dodge the incoming fire of tons of enemies for way too long. I have seen it from both sides. And I think these dodge-fests are tedious for both the hunted and the hunters. This why, escorts could finally stop a bomber instead of being reduced to a scout for transports.
Also SNAC range should be reduced to at least BS Solaris range, because honestly, the prime defense against bombers for BSs has half the range of a SNAC. If you want long-range bombardment, pick Novas. Would give them a real sense then too.
