So this will require, with my die rolling, 18 PDS to take out a flight
of fighters.  With Indy's die rolling he'd need an infinite number...

So you have PDS and Advanced PDS now?

Not letting larger batteries fire at fighters is a hold over from
WW1/2 naval games and I'd be GLAD to see it go.  I don't agree with
the limiting of range though -- a beam can hit a massive thrust-2
dreadnought just as easily as it can hit a tiny thrust-8 scout.

Are you doing anything to limit the strength of fighter attacks?
