With the fighters we just rule that they are so short range that if
the carrier withdraws the fighters surrender.  Of course we are
playing human-human and assume reasonable prisoner exchange.

As for the LAC's, let the chips fall where they may.  We do roll a 
chance for an intercept of the tug though. :)
