The problem is, of course, that size class/signature has absolutely no
effect on the DSII battlefield.  It's all ECM and pilot quality.  

I have been considering porting over the Air Defense Levels from SGII to
DSII.  Of course, the lower two levels (d4 & d6) are irrelevant, as they
represent air defense assets which are on the table at the DSII scale.

But I was considering forcing the off-board AD to first acquire, based
on Signature and Pilot quality, and then to hit, based on ECM and Pilot
Quality.  Comments?  And points costs for this thing?
