Now this is completly subjective and open to debate.
I personally build what most people consider "cute" and/or "little" fighters.
To me they are able to kill almost any other fighter or mech(a) with one shot.
Hey my "Empire" the Galactic Confederation does not govern 107 galaxies with
flowers.
Now aside from the whole "mine is better than yours because I said so"
argument. To me mech(a)s are a small part of a well rounded military. A
Mech(a) without fighter escort/coverage would be killed rather quickly. The
best real world example is Tanks(with AA) vs. Airplanes. No matter how good
the Tank is, an A-10 "Tank Killer" would make mince meat of it.

(who builds all mech(a) for his forces with "sliding" legs like TLC does for
better playability)
