Would this come under the rule that says that (in FT/2nd) that an area
defense (ADAF) can fire on fighters attacking any ship within 6" of the
ADAF equipped ship, even if the fighters are more then 6" from the ADAF
equipped ship itself?  

Thus any ADFC equipped ships could screen other ships (capital, other
cruisers, transports, merchants) in a formation where the ships being
screened are within 6" of the ADFC equipped ship?
