Dunno, but I think it is something Jon didn't bring up on the playtest
list, or I would've shot it down immediately. Particularly since it is
paired with the FB2 fighter reloading rule...

Interesting to see Stiltman's analysis where he assumes that the
(non-Torp) fighters would on average take no losses at all to enemy
PDS, while *at the same time* constantly pointing out that they're
exposed to PD fire.
