Subject: re: planetary defense
This is a house rule it has not been competely reworked and tested for FB/FT. B. Planetary Based Fighters (PBF): A heavier version of standard fighters, twice as massive as a standard fighter, usually based on planets, bases, and a few specialized carriers. They travel 18 inches per turn, range as a 6(stand-off capable), carry two foreward arc weapon package (any type except interceptor)and a turret 360 degree with anti-fighter weapon that kills a fighter on 5-6, treat as a heavy fighter for damage, and nine endurance markers. Only 9 for secondary movement. In dogfights, PBFs roll one dice and hits other fighters only a 6. The foreward weapon packages must fire on the same target ship or sqaudron but, donot have to match. PBF squadrons come usually in six element.
