[FT] AE advances

Following the usual Alarishi Empire tradition ("anything worth doing is worth
carrying to ridiculous extremes"), the AE Navy introduces:

AI Fighters (36 points per group) Operate as Fast fighters, not subject to
morale checks. No longer do
you have to worry about pilot casualties (and collateral damage--bar
brawls, unexpected pregnancies, etc). An optional defense package can
give the Heavy effect (+12 points per group).  These state-of-the-art
weapons systems can also be configured for space superiority (+0) or
anti-shipping missions (another +6).  AI Fast Heavy Attack craft are a
mere 54 points per squadron--cutting edge technology, with a price to
match.

Dreadrocks The AE has lots of rocks in various orbits, plus lots of slightly
[sic] trigger-happy citizens to occupy them.  Add to this the legends
of the Dread Planet Roberts, and you get Dreadrocks. A typical dreadrock has
mass around 440 (larger sizes available), thrust 1, no FTL, 132 hull (33x4),
and lots of room for armor, fighter bays, beams,
Ptorps, missiles, etc--work out your own mix, I came up with one for
2000 points.  Some of the better known examples are the _Bob Marley_,
the _I-in-I_, and the _Hey Mon_.
