Well, I'll let you in on what we do 'round here.

Background item:
 Fighters do not have ranged fire, they must be in base to base
to make an attack.

     If an attack fighter moved to attack a ship and was intercepted
the attack fighter has only two options: attack the ship or dogfight.
If dogfight: resolve normally.
If ship attack: the defending fighters fire and kills are removed,
		then the surviving attack fighters carry out the
		attack on the ship.

FTFB section on endurance:
     I see no reason why the fighters could not persue the fleeing
attack fighters except, out of endurance or intercepted by fighter
friends of the attack crowd.

Bye for now,
