This *does* define the effect of being Heavy when hit by a Class-1 -
namely, none at all. 

The Class-1 packs so much more punch that the extra protection carried
by
a Heavy fighter isn't enough to save the craft if it is hit. 

(So, Jon, my vote is for your "option 2" - but drop the "as if it has
Screen level 1" part of the Heavy Fighter description in FT3 :-)
