OK, we're going to have to agree to disagree. I don't
particularly want to change salvo missiles. There are
problems with plasma bolts, but I already suspected that.

My priority is to change the fighter/point defence rules
for games where Fleet Book 1 and the new human fleets on
Star Ranger are typical. People who play very different
styles of FT can adapt them or ignore them as before.

I'd really like people to try these rules with FB1/new
human fleets against say, Cylon Basestars and let me
know what they think. Anyone? (Doesn't have to be right
away either, I'm going to leave these on my website for
a couple of months at least.)

	cheers,
