RE: FT-Mobile Suits

I would make a slight modification to this due to endurance rules, as
they
would have to use 2 endurance to attack every turn (1 to move to
base-base,
1 to attack):

Treat both types as standard heavy fighters but allow them to make
attack
fighter rolls when in base to base with enemy ships.  The AV suits use
their
SRAMs as a 1 shot attack to ignore screens for 1 turn (either standard
attack or assault attack) & dogfight as attack/torpedo fighters.
Defensively, treat both types as heavy fighters vs PDS or fighters,
standard
against other suits.

Points-wise:
GP suits: 18 + 12 (heavy fighter) + 6 (attack fighter on base-base) = 36
points/sqd
AV suits: 18 + 12 (heavy fighter) + 12 (attack fighter on base-base +
ignore
screens - attack dogfight) = 42 points/sqd.
