RE: Soap bubbles?

Oops... missed that little bit. That's what I get for try to discuss
rules
at work without the material handy :) BTW, my only experience with
fighters
is watching my ships go poof when they come near. Always the escort
commander, never the carrier admiral :/ But my group has never employed
soap
bubbles either. The carriers have always had bark and bite too, so I've
never experienced the fighter swarms others have seen.

Thanks for the catch Laser, back to the design tool....
