	Laserlight: Full Thrust> Islamic Fed Ships v3
		HMs have an endurance factor of 1 to 5 (depending on type), similar to the combat endurance factor of fighters.
		Any HM may expend one endurance point to make a secondary move of 6mu (3 in vector)--typically this is done to get more range, or to move so that the "closest target" is the one the player wants his HM to attack.
		After the attacks have been resolved, any HMs that have exhausted their endurance factors and are out of attack range of any viable targets are removed from play.
