Sorry if someone else has already made this comment (haven't had a
chance to
really keep up with this thread), but limiting it to waves of 6 isn't
really
going to help I would've thought. May be we're just not very good
players/designers down here, but a stack of 6 fighters is usually a
pretty
good way of dispatching/crippling ships down here (especially if you're
aiming at taking out the supporting cruisers first). In addition, even
with
multiple waves you're dropping the total number of fighters going in by
between about 1 and 4 fighters per 6 groups coming in (so with morale in
play too you may see an extra group or two pull out, but not exactly a
major
deterrence). I wouldn't have thought that was enough of a change to
bother
doing it (especially if you have to justify it against all the "space is
big, VERY big" problems people like me are going to see with the
argument).

Cheers
