i have done some playtest with the above and with PDS fires
at any ftr within 6" and ADFC at any ftr within 12".

the first idea plays well in that it is effect, but not
devastating.  this assumes not many ships (only escorts)
will pay for ADFC.  however, if several ships have ADFC, 
simply write off your ftrs.  the concept of ADFC-only
fire at any ftr bothers me, tho.

the second idea i like better conceptually, but gameplay
is a bloodbath for fighters.  maybe this is just tactics.
our couple of games had the fighters go for the juicy
targets in the middle of the enemy fleet.  *everyone*
shot at those ftrs!  maybe this would not be so bad if
the ftrs went for cripples, ships at the edges of the 
fleet.

anyway, that's the info so far, but we are still testing.
