A preference for two-seat long-range space fighters rests partly on human support. Automation can reduce the work of operating a spacecraft without replacing the company of another crew member. The comparison with modern strike aircraft is that single-seat pilots bear more stress after losing the support of a cockpit teammate. A second person can also act as another pilot and share the spacecraft's operating tasks.
