Yeah the game was setup so that fighters were prestige, not role-based. Disco has added classes with rock-paper-scissors roles, but within the fighter class it is still just prestige. Light fighters have become a little more unique due to faster cruise speed, for everything else you still need the biggest fighter to kill the other fighters.
