RE: [FT] Ship Stats Question

I thought that that was the role that covettes played curretly. Or to
make
it feel more like a Coast Guard cutter, remove the FTL and upgrade a
Class-1
beam to a Class-2 Beam with FP,F,FS arcs. Or trade the FTL for
Atmospheric
Streamlining.

I couldn't find it, but I thought that I read that all ships had small
(1 or
2 man) shuttles (as none of the ships in FB are atmospherically
streamlined). So that would provide the role of the rescue 'copter
(treat as
a single fighter without a weapon).
