Re: FTL capable fighters

Fury's are  "short  range" in the Normal space sense of the word, as 
far as I can figure. They could make a trip to the moon with ease, 
Mars would probably be right out. Though the coarses would be  mostly 
ballistic so little or no pilot input would be needed. They could  
probably keep on a patrol for 12-14 hours. (We do similar stuff today 
with some of our fighters, for ferry missions and such)  but would 
probably get fairly uncomfortabel after about 8 or so. Usual air  
patrols, (such as over Iraq now) last about 4-6 hours to keep the 
pilots fresh.  Combat patrols are usually short duration, out and 
back, and last about 2-4 hours including getting to the combat area.
