RE: ADFC and PDS (was: Vector Movement and SML's)

Hmmm I don't hear enough from the dis-agree camp so here I go :-)

They way I understand the scales of the game (1mu = 1000km) I think that
a 
15m*10m (fighter sized) object would be pretty much invisible unless it
was 
actively coming after you.

The fighters would make heavy use of stealth techonology (active and 
passive).  To avoid using their own 'radar' for searches they would
probably 
receive target info on tight-band laser communications from the 'mother 
ship'.

Now when the attack runs start I can see them 'lighting up' with active
ECM 
and on-board targeting systems making them visible.

Anyway, fighters seem to get slaughtered efficiently enough without
having 
everybody gunning for them.
