What about page 16 of the Full Thrust rulebook, top left cornor where it
state only specific ships can have fighters also giving hanger capacity
limits?  I find no place stating this rule is no longer somehow in
effect.

The situation  that started this thread was our opponents tonight
fielded
five ships, each TMF 80, that combined launched about 22 fighter groups.
Yes these 80 TMF ships sometimes had 5 hangers each.

David (started this thread) and I encountered thes ships tonight at out
weekly games here in Atlanta.  Maybe it's legal, but somehow it also
seems
odd.

Could Jon clear this up?  Is there an official ruling out there
somewhere?
