Antiaircraft lasers.

All aircraft are already pretty fragile. Even a beast like the A-10 or B-17 is only tough compared to other airplanes. You just can't build them as strong as a ground vehicle and get them into the air (usually).

The anti-aircraft lasers sound pretty reasonable. But you gotta figure there's going to be a Nick Fury S.H.I.E.L.D flying super-carrier somewhere...or so I think.

The aircraft in the Ogre book are described more as fortresses that fly, rather than as air-planes. I wonder if there's more source material around somewhere to shed more light on this.

I guess there isn't much interest in flying Ogres. Oh well.

I guess I've been away form the game too long. I'll have to rev up a solo session.
