   Ouch.  Ok, I'll keep that in mind.  I've got a couple of thoughts on
AMT's
 that I'd like to hash around a bit and post here.  I think the AMT rule
should
 mention the specifics of ADFC interaction with AMT's, because it
doesn't seem
 clear to me now.  My first reading of the rule was that only the blast
radius 
 PDS's could fire.

   Hey, would it be fair to say that when a fighter group is "screening"
a 
 vessel, the fighter group is "surfing" the drive field of the ship in
order 
 to stay with it?
