Re: [FT] Rules Questions

Well, I actually played a small campaign were there
was quite a bit of attrition.  Fighters are the best
in an attrition war becasue they are cheap and you can
build alot of them very fast.  I ended up building
'hollow carriers'  which were really just FTL
platforms to get fighters from my home planet and into
the battle.  It ended up working great because I had
swarms of fighters, and I would just keep sending my
'hollow carriers' back to home base for more fighters.
 I was able to beat them down just becuase it took
next to no time to build fighters and my 'hollow
carriers' never really entered the battles.

I don't know if it's 'legal' but there really isn't
anywhere in the book that I found that said it was
against the rules.
