Having worked on Air Defense Systems I don't like the ADFC rule. I basically
reverted to the original rules a Points Defense System (PDS) can attack any
fighter or missile within 3 MUs or attacking the ship while an Area Defense
System (ADS) allows you to attack any fighter or missile whithin 6 MUs or
attacking the ship. I suppose you could build a Fleet Defense System (FDS) for
Mass 3 and 9 points to attack any fighter or missile within 9 MUs or attacking
the ship.
