Imperial Tactical Technologies wishes to announce: 1. the "Insert class name
here" class SC. Rumors that ITT simply bought the design for a ESU Lenov,
disarmed it and added Superior Sensors are of course nonsense. We also upped
the price (440MCr).

2. Fighter AI's. Usable only for Torpedo or Attack fighters (AI's can handle
attacking ships but aren't able to cope with fighter combat as well). No
change in stats but it makes me feel better to know that a) it's only silicon
chips who face that demoralizing loss rate; and b) somewhere back home someone
who would otherwise be in a fighter is instead happily contributing to the 6%
annual population increase.

3. Stealth missiles. I'm proposing that MT missiles should be able to reduce
their payload to 1d6 and buy stealth instead. Assume the average sensor can't
detect the missile until it's 18" away, and the missile moves
18"/turn.  Of course, in a squadron this will motivate you to provide
scouts. It will also be somewhat less likely to fall to PDS (perhaps hit
probability reduced as if by Screen 1). Discussion?
