	Torpedo planes get the roll on a 6 to kill fighters in a
dogfight,
so there's no need to increase the cost of the torpedo system. (Although
it
wouldn't bother me if you did, those things are nasty!)

	Thanks. :)

	I had a couple of ideas for options you could add to your
system. 

	Poor ship attack effectiveness (-1 when attacking ships): 1 pt.

	A 2 pt. Anti-fighter effectiveness level: You get EITHER a +1 to
dogfight rolls to represent increased maneuverability only OR a +1 to
attack
rolls at range against fighters only to represent increased long range
guns.
