RE: FT-HH LAC`s

It's all a question of scale.  In the current rule set I've done, the
missiles have a range from rest of 72 with energy weapons about 12-15
against a sidewall.  (sorry I haven't finished off the last turn guys,
just
have to find time to crunch the numbers).
In order to model the scale between the LACs and the minnie, I generated
them as FT fighters.
