Grub Serve the same purpose as freighters for other species. The are
somewhat in-effecient when compared to traditional freighters, but can
serve as useful auxilary warships. Typically, grubs supply 50% of their
biomass to fleet units, and then leave to get more, but there have been
instances when grubs have been consumed to repair fleet units... The
in-efficiency of Grubs compared to traditional freighters is mitigated
by the Sa'Vasku ships capability of self-repair. There is no pulling
fleet units off station and sending them back to base to be fixed.
Example:
Grub Ship
Mass: 80
Bio-Mass: 45
Carapice: None
Power Generators: 10
Main Drive Node: Yes
FTL Drive Node: Yes
Cortex Nodes: 2
Stingers: 1
Spicules: 2
Pod Launcher: 1
Design Philosophy:
Has just enough power to jump to FTL if the top power generators are
knocked out.
Light weapons so they are self escorting.
