Just a brain-wrapping note, you can always PSB it that fighter kills are
not
necessarily outright destruction of the fighter and death of the pilot,
but
more of a 'combat kill', rendering the fighter no longer capable of
combat
and returns to its base ship if possible. So the pilot survives, just
isn't
able to finish the fight this time around. There are ways to represent
this
in actual game play if you want to track 'combat kills' and 'actual
destructions', but it makes life a lot more complicated.
