RE: [FT] PBLs

Each fighter or missile (MT or Salvo) have 1 point of (ship level)
damage.
So if the PBL does even 1 point of damage, all fighters and missiles in
the
area of effect are destroyed.

What about Heavy Fighters? I would suggest that like Class-1 beams,
Plasma
Bolts are strong enough (even at 1 point of damage) that the Heavy
Fighter's
armor does not matter.

I buried this question in a larger e-mail last week, and no one seemed
to
notice the poor thing...so I shall ask again, because the question
becomes
relevant later this week.

What effect, if any, does an exploding plasma bolt have upon MT missiles
and/or fighters?  Salvo-launched missiles would impact during the same
phase that the bolt detonates, so they won't be around to worry about
it,
of course.

Automatic destruction?	Roll a d6 and take out that many fighters from
each
squadron?  Treat the blast as a scattergun shot?  Or maybe no effect at
all?

Anyone?  Bueller?
