Ohh, I like this. Howzabout:

Wild Weasel Squadron:
   Wild Weasel fighters are Attack fighters with an even more
specialized
role. They are equipped with special sensors, ECM , and weapons designed
to
destroy the fire-control sensors of enemy ships, so when engaging an
enemy
ship each fighter will hit and destroy a firecon with a roll of 5 or 6.
Due to
this specialization, ' Weasels
are easy meat for enemy fighters, able to hit only on a 6. Points: +12
(2 per
fighter)
   
Note the point cost is a WAG, so play with it a bit. If anything it may
be a
bit low. Also, depending on your particular backround (and the PSB that
comes
with it) you may allow the ' Weasels to attack "emitter" type systems
such as
shield generators, sub-light drives, alpha-nodes, warp-coils, whatever.
I'd
suggest that to hit the fighters have to roll a 6 for these systems (the
points may have to be bumped up as well).
