For reference, the issues under consideration (not in rulebook order) were:
1) Remain on CAP.
2) +1 to CAP/Intercept attacks.
3) BM for "coming under fire" from CAP/Intercept.
Possibly one or more of these:
4) May not capture/contest on the same turn as it lands (GT-specific rule).
5) May not fire AA on the same turn as it lands.
6) Targetting mod to prevent sniping (possibly just sidebar).
7) Ground flak may only fire during End Phase if it Sustained Fire or is on OW.
Planetfall triggering OW [recent addition]1) Makes CAP sorta like OW.
2) I assume this is meant to make aircraft more accurate against other aircraft, but hitting ground targets is normally easier.
3) Agree
4) Agree
5) Disagree here - the aircraft could continue to fire its self defense weapons as it lands, which is what the not being able to contest/capture represents - the aircraft landing.
6) I think this represents how the aircraft would be firing well - they fire on approach to the target and may overfly the target.
7) The -1 for end phase AA I think is great because it helps to counter the Flak Rush to attack something like a Thunderhawk or Marauder as it is exiting the table. This helps to balance out versus the new restrictions on the Lander aircraft.
Agree
