While we have been working on FT3, we have been under the understanding
that
the FB* designs may not be fully legal. The FB* ships were meant as a
stepping stone away from FT and on to FT3, not to have people locked
into
the FB* designs as "this is how it will be and any rule must fit these
ships".

Yes, fighters move twice per turn (two separate phases), but ordnance
may
ALSO, in effect, move twice (two separate phases, over two sequential
turns). During the launch phase, ordnance moves approx 1/2 what it might
normally (salvos/plasma bolts move 12 MU, long-range salvos 18 MU, MT
missiles move 12 MU, etc). Any ordnance that survives the combat phase
then
may move again (same distances as above) during phase 2 of the following
turn.
