They do seem a little nasty, don't they.

As mentioned in Tim's previous post, KV fighters came under discussion
in
the mailing list for Man/Kravak Wars, the PBEM I am currently running (a
10+
players fleet battle using the UOKVFB and FB).	As I have never played
or
played against KV forces, I had never really considered the KV
equivalents
of the Human Fighter types - perhaps I assumed they would be covered in
FB2,
who knows..
Anyhoo, here is one possible KV figher type that I thought of given
existing
background info..  I was thinking along the lines of a kamikaze at the
time
:)

Expendable Squadrons(Fa'Tk'San)
Those designed to do the decent thing to raise the status of their
Subfamilies back home. They are not armoured, the additional space freed
up
being replaced with
extra weaponry	and explosives. This counts as Interceptor weaponry, ie
a +1
attack vs fighters but also vs ships.

Expendable squadrons may still attack ships when they have no endurance,
but are expended 1 fighter attack (player chooses the number).	When
attacking ships in this way, each fighter surviving gets a 3d6 Kra'Vak
KPW
(Kinetic Projectile Weapon) attack as per MT26.

Any thoughts ?	I haven't thought about costs yet,
