RE: [FTFB] "Needle" fighters?

How about allowing fighter needle damage to be repaired?  The system is
simply crossed off the same as failed thresholds & is then treated as
normal.
That way it won't overpower a ship, but it will slow it down for a turn
or two until it can fix the damage.

Personally, I target firecon's first.  No incoming fire = no problem.

Well, normal Needle Beam fire from ships can *not* be repaired, which is
why I neutered them so severely in the proposal - no way do I feel
comfortable allowing fighters to roll one needle beam attack per
fighter.
Two consecutive attacks and the ship under attack is likely to be gutted
by
one group targetting the drives.
