Re: [FT] Tug/Tender Rule Question

***
My question has to with when these subcraft jump from system to system.
Are they attached to the tender by "jump collars - ala Battletech" or
just
within the expand field?

I don't recall a particular answer coming out of the discussions of this
in
the past. I always assumed they were encased with the warp 'circuitry',
and
actually internal to the tender. Others thought 'collar' which allowed
fast
drops, and discounted my images of jumping tenders while their carries
were
stillin the process of being detached. Don't think anybody suggested
'unattached'. Though, as I said, the collar/attachments were generally
seen
as small encumbrance.

I do know most of the cost analysis I've seen suggested you didn't gain
a
lot by using a battlerider scheme, and a strong argument could be made
to
keep the danger to the tender low.

Remember, it's FT, and you SHOULD have latitude in interpretation of how
it
works, with an eye to adjusting the point costs.

OO?
