From flying in Arena Commander, I'm worried that fighters are going to be somewhat obsolete. They're extremely easy to kill. I think CR wants it to be like 1 missile and a few gun shots to take out a fighter.
That being said, I expect to only be using a single seater for large scale battles. They're just too squishy. Give me something with a class 5 power plant, some heavy shields, and a few turrets. I'll be perfectly happy in my Constellation combat variant letting someone else fly the Merlin. =)
Given that the single seaters seem a bit on the 'easy-to-murder' side, a MIS lancer would be an absolute death dealer at range. Give it a couple snub fighters for support and that thing is murdersome.
