Here's a thought if you /do/ want to allow ADS on aircraft--maybe its an
air-superiority fighter instead of a bomber. In this case you wouldn't
think of it as a tracking auto-cannon firing at aircraft but as a jet
speeding across the battlefield launching missiles at VTOLs in High Mode
or whatever.
I don't know how this would actually work since it's off the top of my
head. What happens if active ADS activated and moved within 36" of
VTOLs in High Mode? Do they have to make a reaction test and
immediately
drop? Can they immediately drop if they've already been activated? Are
they simply immediately attacked by the ADS? Thoughts?
If they are immediately attacked you could really clear a table full of
VTOLs with one Aerospace fighter loaded up with an ADS. That would be
cool!
