[FT] Fleet-wide ADFC (Was: FB3 ships, was Re: Official Japanese ships??)

>>>>And yes, the caps have ADFC for the same reason the escorts do. I
cant
see letting a DD eat 3 salvos if other ships close by can assist in
defending it.<<<<

I haven't been playing FT long, so maybe this is a silly question, but
why
WOULDN'T you fit ADFC to any vessel mounting PDS? OK, I know there's a
mass/point cost, but I think the ability of all ships in a squadron to
cooperate in area defence is worth it. The FB designs only seem to give
ADFC
to "escorts" though, so maybe I'm missing something.

I haven't yet acquired any "official" ships, so I'm playing with a
home-brewed fleet based on plastic wall plugs of various sizes on flying
bases. I've been messing around with various designs, weapon fits etc.,
but
right from the word go I decided to give all my ships ADFC.
