I like this idea also. I would keep the recovery to 1 fighter group per
turn,
however.

One could make the change from a Firecon to a Flightcon simply by
drawing a
circle around it BEFORE the game begins. Any Firecon that is not circled
if a
Firecon not a Flightcon. This would stop the neccesity of changing the
Fleetbook.

One could also make it that on a successful Damage Control Party roll
for the
Fire/Flight control, it could be changed from a Flightcon to a Firecon
or
vice versa. But this idea is probably too much trouble to be worthwile.

Since I am on the American continent and do not, yet, have a Fleetbook,
has
there been a change on what size ship can carry fighters?
