Since the Thargoids arrived and started a war against us, we haven't really...Improved our Guardian tech (Guess Ram Tah isn't that brilliant after all, eh?). Only a single weapon has been developed in one year, the Nanite torpedos. However, What about the other guardian technology that has been ignored since their creation?
Yep, guardian fighters. Those little fighters that promised to be "EFFICIENT" and "EFFECTIVE" against thargoid interceptors and scouts. Sadly, those were empty promises as they ended up being sitting ducks and useless in terms of combat and suboptimal in terms of tech...Seriously, They deal 50% less damage towards Human ships, have the least HP possible and their shield isn't helpful agianst thargoids as their damage phases through it and on top of that, they don't have a UTILITY mount. Adding a single Heatsink or whatever other emerging/new guardian tech would increase the chances of these fighters to survive in Thargoid battles.
If this wasn't enough, Since Update 15, Thargoids have seemed to develop hatred against these little fighters that simply aren't a threat to them, Instantly SMITING them with all they have as soon as they detect one, they even stop attacking their current target and travel 10kms simply to get rid of the fighter..
This has been adressed in the Issue tracker as it's been ruining the Experience using these SLF's.

Honestly, it's a bit dissapointing that this Issue has been ignored for almost a year and nothing has been done to improve something new in these Guardian fighters.
