FT-Torpedo fighters

This has given me a idea. How about for torpedo fighters, giving them a
selection of missiles to chose from. We have the standard heavy missile,
with a range of only 6 MU, requiring the fighter to enter the PDS
envelope
of the target, but with 4 to 6 dammage. We could also have a light
missile,
same range as above, but only 1 to 3 points of dammage (1D6 -3, positive
number is a hit and the dammage done), but 2 missiles per fighter. Their
is
also the posibility of a long range missile. The above 2 are fired from
within the targets PDS envelope, at short range, giving the target no
chance
to intercept. The target only has a chance to shoot the fighters down
before
they fire. The long range missile would be fired from outside the PDS
envelope, giving the PDS a chance to intercept the fighter missiles
while
they are comming into range. The fighter would not have to enter the PDS
range of the target. The long range fighter missiles would have a range
of 9
MU, and a dammage same as a light missile (1 to 3). You would roll a 1D6
-3,
and any missiles that hit would have a chance to be intercepted by PDS
before hitting. Now, I know the chance of hitting would be low,
esspecially
with the PDS shooting down the missiles on the way in, but since the
fighters don`t have to enter PDS range to launch, more fighters would
suvive
to try again. If you are going to say about differentiating between
different loadouts on the torpedo fighters, you can always use the
sistem we
do, and have 1 model per fighter, with a number on said fighter, and a
record sheet to tally the number of losses/missiles fired/missile
loadout
etc.

Just a rough idea from playing against my generic bad guys, the "bugs".
