I suppose there *could* be times when taking out a fighter squadron is a higher priority, but in general I would agree. Plus as you note, all they really would have to do is burn some END to get out of the way. The main issue was whether or not fighters could "force" normal SMs to target them by moving between the salvoes and the capital ships. Glad the answer is no. ;-)

OK, so if a ship is on it's second damage row and takes two Ion Cannon hits, it makes two checks for each affected system, system fails on a 1-2? (Or a 5-6 if you're using high-roll-fails.) What about on it's last row? Fail on a 1-3, or a 1-4?! Sorry to be anal; just making sure I've got it right.
Thanks again,
Scott
