Re: FT: Squadron Question

Expedient 1 shot launches from freighters or launches from static
stations might make for interesting scenarios. 

Adding functionality to allow multiple fighter launches and retreuvals
from the same bay would requires retooling the base rules or a "house"
rule. 

Any thoughts?
