This got me thinking... If directional lasers are being used for comms
from an FO (bounced off of satellites, cloud cover or blitzed down a
string of LOS repeaters) would it be a viable tactic to air-burst some
kind of refractive glitter or fog to reveal the positions of the
repeater-chain or even the FOs to a scanning satellite or high-altitude
flyer?	Is this already covered in the rules or would something have to
be developed for it if you wanted it as a valid tactic/countertactic in
your game?

(Guess who hasn't bought to rules yet, but really wants to...)
(Also guess who's slightly poor for all the hobbies he has.)
