FT: detecting fighter types

Are fighter types known by the enemy before they use any defenses against the
fighters? An example would be a ship being attacked by a squadron of torpedo
fighters and a squadron of heavy fighters. Can any defensive fire be targeted
on the torpedo squadron specifically?

Not using MT sensors?

Using MT sensors?

Thanks, Glen

No rules cover the situation exactly. Creating a set of logical house rule is
the best solution.

Suggestions: Use the MT sensor rules with a 4 detecting 'heavy' and 'fast'
fighters and a 5 defining all other types.  Give E-sensors a
+1 and S-Sensors a +2 on the roll.

In our group we do not allow the selection of a specific
fighter type as a target.   The target ship is under attack
by a group of fighter Sq. and lossed are distributed thru the group in a
sequence selected by the defender. I.E. If a ship is under attack by a
Torpedo, Interceptor, and standard fighter squadron, the defender may select
his 'kill priority' to be 'Torp, Standard, Interceptor'; assuming this
defensive fire generated 7 kills the attacker would loose 3 torp, 2 standard
and 2 interceptor.

Bye for now,
