this reminds me of the Traveller concept for 'battle
riders': non-FTL battlewagons that use an FTL capable
ubership for transport to-from combat areas. To the
same degree as with what we have now, Defend The
Carrier! But the extra speed, armour and firepower
they(the riders)  can bring to bear are nice.

geez: now i wanna make some up to see if they'd work
in FT...;-)
