True, but remember that a task force will typically have around 3 to  
4 ships (assuming higher tech levels) and one level of fleet tactics.  
And the spread of a task force is limited by the computing power on  
the ships. It worked quite well when we fought the Battle of the Two  
Suns at TravellerCon 2004, with 80+ ships in play!!

We handled Crew quality by rating crews from Green to Regular to  
Veteran to Elite, with a die roll modifier for combat of -1 through  
to +2.  Green crews reduced a ship's PV by 25%, and Veterans  
increased it by 50%. Elites by 100%. Crew could gain experience by  
surviving battles, in a generally log way (2 battles from Green to  
Regular , then 4 more to Veteran etc).

Cheers,

Dom
