Hi,
Just a few more points on our Optional Fighter Movement for Full Thrust.
These are actually clarifications:

Fighter Movement:
When both sides have fighters we use the standard "you move one, then I
move one" approach. This is the case in both the Standard Fighter
Movement
Phase and the Reaction Fighter Movement Phase

Fighter Combat:
Combat in the Movement Phases. the only combat taking place here can be
the
'free' shots resulting from a group moving out of a dogfight.

In the Combat phase the we use the following sequence:

a) All dogfights resolved

b) Fighter v Fighter Combat: Fighters within range and in arc fire at
each
other. This combat is simultaneous. (Reaction fighters are	       
less likely to be shot at as the canny player will have positioned them
out
of the firing arcs of the fighters moved in the Standard	       
Fighter Move Phase.

c) Ships fire: Fighters engaging ships fire after their target has
fired.

d) Any remaining Fighters fire at ships

Note a fighter may not fire more than ONCE in any one turn. (dogfighting
counts as firing)

Notes on More Thrust Fighter Options:
We use Fighter endurance, Fighter quality, Heavy Fighters, Interceptors,
Attack fighters and Long-Range Fighters. 

If you playtest these rules it is interesting developing tactics that
allow
you to best escort or defend against attacking fighters.
