Re: [FT] Tug/Tender Rule Question

Whoops, forgot to check FB1...

Actually, it differentiates between tugs and tenders. Battle riders are
normally thought to use tenders, and FB1 sez 'any ship can be made into
a
TENDER by having internal bay space allocated to carry other ships'. On
the
other hand, TUGS have to have hugely increased FTL systems.

What is the difference in effect between a tender and a tug? Not at all
clear from the rules; ships tend to be tendered to battle, and tugged
away
from...

And then we get into some parts of 'what is hull' and 'does it mean the
same as volume' and other philosophical questions... ;->=

Well, that was my answer 'sort of', but as we've saddled the lovely
simple
system with a point structure, I suppose we should think how it is
adapted
to those differing universes.
