RE: [ft] simple campaign system

More answers:
1.	You can start connected, but then you miss a multiplayer
landgrab
for any resources on the neutral map.
2.	Standard freighters from FTFB to start with.  You can design
your
own, but how many variations of a box with engines can you make?

3.	sounds good.
Each fleet rolls d6 & adds the thrust of ships.  Attacking ships which
have
a higher total, catch any retreating ships with a lower total.	Either
player can downgrade their ships thrust *before* they roll in order to
keep
the fleet together.
If caught, play a stern chase battle with defenders moving on at speed
12 &
the attackers arriving d3 turns later.
