Subject: Fighters, shields and other miscellaneous thoughts
What about Anti-fighter shields? Same cost as a level 1 shield, used in place of standard shields. Provides immunity to standard fighter weapons. Anti-fighter deflectors - an intense short ranged shield/deflector a la "Macross Point Barrier" system. In implementation, perhaps a baby version of the "Reflex Field" in which attacking fighters might be destroyed by their own firepower. Armor? - if the ship is armored, standard fighters can't do damage until the armor is destroyed? Just some more meandering thoughts... --Binhan
