	For ADS systems the special chits do not apply.  However, when
direct
weapons are fired against air vehicles then they do (HELs etc).  If you
get
a mobility hit then make the pilot roll a quality die versus the
altitude
(low is bad, high is good) and the terrain (clear is good, cluttered is
bad) and conduct a non-powered landing.  If he beats it he and his cargo
are cool.  If he meets it he and his cargo are damaged.  If he rolls too
low, well... better dispatch some cables home to their families...

Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!
