An idea for PDS and AFB that we have used:

Effect limited to only apply vs the first (Hull#) targets. E.g., a hull 5 ship can apply its AFB to the first 5 flights of fighters. Sometimes, we use Hull#/2 (round up). This rule allows PDS/AFB to be 'overwhelmed'.

We decided PDS should not be used without some limitation because it distorts the defense of small ships too much by giving them essentially a free shield level 3.

2.5g is the optional fighter version, presumably based on 2.5.

I'm attempting to reconcile these two versions, but am having a hard time figuring out what changed between 2.5 and 2.6. Can anyone tell me for certain?
