Beef up point defense and anti-fighter activity to compensate.

      This simple function speeds up the game dramatically.

  I dont know about you all, but playing the Java and have SMs and
fighters striking in the same turn as the ships firing their main guns
kinda takes away from the strategy of FT.. This give the ships a chance
to fire and destroy one of your ships without risking anything...
Whereas in table games, a ship could be destroyed by missiles before it
has a chance to fire. is there any remedies to this problem?
