well, said bomber has no other weapons, and ammo for exactly four savlos, so it has serious limitations, but it does mean that massed smallcraft can pose a threat to bigger ships (enough of one to justify carriers if your tastes run in that direction)
Recently designed some fighters (MgT) with pure starship missile armament. A 20dT fighter can carry a serious amount of missiles and have heavy armour for defence.
With several squadrons of them all firing salvos, there would be enough to potentially overwhelm the point defence weapons of any target(s) even with datalinked fleet based defences.
With a targets saturated point defences it would not be too hard to have a few torpedoes getting through and causing the real damage.
