@:) Hmmm... I may have mistated the needle firecon rule somewhere
@:) down the line. I thought it was implicit that this too would be a

  I think there is some kind of misconception about the needle beam
rules happening in here somewhere.  There's no such thing as a "needle
fire control".	Needle beams use regular fire controls - it's just
that if you're using your fire control to direct needle beams at a
target this turn, you cannot use the same fire control to direct other
weapons.

  Unless you're using a modified rule set or I have completely lost
it, in which case I'd like someone to tell me.	This stuff all comes
from FT page 18, "Needle Beams".
