	To me the best way to "map" fighters into FT, particularly if
using vector
movement, would be to move them as say thrust 18 ships and use the
endurance markers not for combat but fuel, each change in direction and
or
V using 1 fuel chit. Could mean a constant rotation for escorting
fighters
needing fuel (just as the enemy missile salvo arrives).
