[Spaceships] Under what tech assumptions Space Fighters make sense?

If one side has ultra-long-range missiles but no fighters, then the other is given a very strong incentive to invest in fighters. A fighter group positioned near the flight path of the missiles is a very powerful defense for the carrier, and a spectacularly bad target for heavy long-ranged missiles.
