LAM rules are being revised after a long hiatus, which is why an answer is a bit hard to give (well, that and your question is in the wrong board, since LAM rules don't appear in TechManual, but that's no big deal - I'll eventually move this thread to Supplementary Rules though, just so you know).
Have you checked the LAM beta rules document for answers? It shows the in-progress rules as they will eventually feature in Interstellar Operations.
And welcome back, by the way.
