RE: [FTFB] "Needle" fighters?

Two stabs at a Needle fighter (Combining several concepts presented so
far).

Version 1:
-  Cost same as attack fighters
-  PDS vs Needle fighters is +1 due to the close nature of the attack
(rerolls only on natural 6).
-  Attack after PDS
-  Needle fighters dogfight as Attack fighters (hit only on 6)
-  Each fighter attacks as a MT Needle Beam (hit only on  6)
-  Ignore screens
-  2 targets may be designated each attack, Primary is attacked until
destroyed, then secondary.

Version 2:
Same as above except for:
- PDS vs. Needle fighters is +1 or +2 (1st reroll on natural 5 or 6,
following rerolls as normal)
- Needle fighters attack as FB Needle beam

Multiple needle attacks pay for the cost of Fighters + Bay
Vulnerability to PDS keeps them from being too strong.
