RE: [FT]: SV womb mod for fighters

I thought they looked more like some form of
submunition rather than fighters.

I can hear the complaints now 'fighters having 48" movement,
bloody SaVasku too hard already mutter mutter.'

Nyrath:
	Maybe it can be mobile.
	I'm thinking about that frightening scene in Babylon 5.
	One of those hideous Shadow ship flies up like 
	a spider from hell.
	It seems to pucker in the middle, and spits out
	a spiky ball.
	The ball flies into the middle of a formation
	of enemy ships, then explodes like a detonating
	hornet's nest into a swarm of Shadow fighters!

Ooo. Howabout
Eggsac:
+1 energy and +1 mass (or +2 or +3 energy)  per drone group produced,
limit
4 groups.
Eggsac is launched as SM; 24" range in F arc. At "detonation" location,
Egg
bursts and all drone groups are launched, each can use its full
movement.
Eggsacs require 3 energy in D pool and 1 mass/20 turns to maintain, so
they
can't be "charged up" indefinitely.
