Which is, presumably, why they are used to enforce the Red Zones on the two droyne worlds in the 'Sisters subsector of the 'Marches.

 My 0.2:

 Fighters are
 great pickets, patrol boats, sensor extenders and force
 projectors. They are also good for ground attack, and
 harassment.

 So I see them
 used to go out, find trouble and run like hell away from
 it.

 Also I see them being
 used to kill fuel shuttles, blow up things the marines
 don’t want to deal with, kill other fighters, tanks,
 shuttles, scouts, missiles etc.

 I often explain that the Tigress style of
 Dreadnoughts are self escorting, due to the 300 fighters
 each carry. Have a Batron of 6 of those bad boys jump in
 system and you have a potent force to really control the
 entire system on hand.
