Ok. Let's begin.
Prototypical pilot flying special "Painty Can" Sabre. Since there is heating gear, nozzles, etc. attached instead of missiles, the external capacity is reduced, and the power requirement is increased.
Enemy 2: Jalkethi. See's Sabre. Fires missile. If Sabre is alive, he goes and tries to squirt a hot load of paint. Oh no, the range is really short because the paint won't go very far without crystallizing in space's vacuum.
Of course, by then, either the Jalkethi or his wingcat or whatnot is in good guns range, because to hit the cockpit, that reduces the approach vector to a limited arc (basically from head on or above). Wingcat smokes Sabre.
Cable tow system. Also reduced external stores and increased power. So he goes off and launches, attaching his fighter to the enemies. Of course, since the Confed fighter is tied to the enemy, all the Kilrathi has to do is either to get in range of a friendly cat, capship, or to do some wild manuevers, which will remove the cable and damage the Terran.
Or, he misses, wasting a precious shot opportunity. Thus ensuring his own death.
In my other reply to your foolishness, I have given an example of what happens to CapShips who try to launch boarding attacks. (Boom!)
Enough with you.
