Re: [FT] squadron suggestions

I can see your physics objection, but then again, if you're playing 
space opera with cinematic movement, what difference does it make?

Regarding extra die rolls, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't 
see that as a problem.	When you attack, throw in an extra D6 of a 
different color as your lock-on die.  If it fails to lock-on, ignore 
the rest of the bucket of dice you just rolled.

Your excess movement idea sounds good.	Could you flesh that out a 
bit more?
