The Covenant Fleet needs more anti-fighter weapons. In canon I don't recall the Flood being this much of a hard ass for the Covenant. They countered them pretty well at the Battle of Instillation 05.
Anti-Flood strategies for the Covenant?

The heavy corvette seemed to work well for me against the flood spore fighters. Have you tried that?

Mix it with CCS and DDS for fighters, and it should do good.

I think he's just asking if maybe more Covenant vessels could have anti-fighter weaponry, not to the scale that the UNSC have on their ships, but just some guns here and there on their ships; as opposed to having a dedicated anti-fighter ship and relying on strikecraft.
The Machine is strong. We must purge the weak, hated flesh and replace it with the blessed purity of metal. Only through permanence can we truly triumph, only through the Machine can we find victory. Punish the flesh. Iron in mind and body. Hail the Machine! - Paullian Blantar Iron-Father of the Kaargul Clan, Iron Hands Chapter.
We are born for a darker purpose than that of mere existence. There will come a time when stygian night never ends, where dead stars will spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and when the beings that hid like shadows will feed on us forever. - Adept Corteswain at the Omniastery of Selethoth, shortly before his disappearance.

Interceptors are broken in the release version. Can't actually be used as fighters; bombers can be made to target other strikecraft though.

Exacta! The Covenant in canon have pulse laser anti-fighter cannons on all their ships. I think they should in the mod. It feels pretty lame when my armada loses their corvette escort and then have to wait for Longswords to self destruct.
