Actually in an atmosphere i think they do less of a decent job, though weve never seen F302's in that kind of combat offworld, they are not able to target very well and if a target need big guns then its easier to bombard from orbit, if theres a ship in space, to launch fighters, chance are getting to the gate for whoever is on the ground needing help is largely irrelevent because they can be beamed up..

Anoher two: Not viable.
We just dont have the targetting and computing and sensor power to guide missiles that accurately. which is why fighters need to be used to get in close.
