RE: Fighter use in FT

Current FT fighter tactics are dictated by the endurance rules,
specifically, if the fighters haven't returned to the carrier by the end
of the 3rd turn after they run out of endurance, they are considered
destroyed (MT).  This tends to keep the fighters within about 40" of
their home carrier to allow rearming.
