RE: [FT] Fighter Launch Variant (Was Really Big Ships...) Snip wh en commenting :)

The B5 Project Earthforce Sourcebook (ship to ship combat designed by
JonT)
also had the concept of the launch bay.  I was surprised that it didn't
show
up in the FB.  

It would probably be a straightforward thing to convert it to FTFB stats
and
assume that all FTFB ships have one built in launch bay.  Extras would
cost
mass/points.

my 2 cents,
Nathan
