Hello from sunny England:)

So i'm shut up in doors painting minatures:)

Ok Needle beams. If you fire 2 needle beams at 1 system on a target vessel do
you need a fire con for each needle beam?

And on the comments about FTL fighters. A mass 1 ship with just an FTL drive
no thrust rating costs 3 points and 1 mass. A mass 2 ship with just a FTL
drive and no thrust rating costs 6 points and 1 mass.
Therefore why not just say that FTL capable fighters cost 3-6
points more per fighter. They might seem cheap but don't forget the limited
endurance factor.
This would probably work out like the X-wing/Tie fighter computer
games. Torpedo fighters jump in, launch torpedoes and then jump out again.

This would make a very different playing style. You would probably have to say
on which turns fighters would jump in before starting play though;)
