Re: Ftl tugs, mass and psb question

The basics are:
1. Ships which don't have to pay for FTL have more space for other
things--armor, weapons, main drive--than ships which do.
2. FTL tugs are comparatively expensive.  If you have to have FTL to get
to the battle, it is more efficient to go ahead and put FTL in your
ships rather than use a tug (or set of tugs) with enough "lift" to get
your whole squadron there.
3. However, if you're in a campaign and aren't worried about strategic
mobility, you can build a few tugs to ferry all your non-FTL ships to
their destinations.
