A question about the Stealth Mechanic, specifically for Noam's Stealth
technologies:

Does the reduction in ranges apply to missile lock-on distances or
fighter attack ranges?

(This is specifically mentioned in the Blind Field write-up, but not the
others).

Yes. Missiles and fighters must be w/i 5" vs. stealth 1 and 4" for
stealth 2 to engage. Which means that if Ftr secondary movement, for example
gets you
to 5.5", you can behit by PDS w/o being able to attack.

OTOH, you could also say that PDS invalidates the stealth effect at short
range, so if PDS are fired, then the envelope is still 6". That's aquirky
extra rule though.
