Hello,
Having seen the question for the issue of how to properly point
out a
tender in the new ship construction rules, I would like to offer my
ideas.
Towing Spars would take up one mass and be able to tow up to 10
mass per
spar. Obviously you could combine multiple spars for larger ships. In
addition the ship must purchase FTL at double Mass to tow an equal mass
of
ships. Cost is 3 * Mass.
I raise again my idea for Repair Centers. Mass of two. During
combat
they act like additional DC centers. During strategic turns they can
repair systems up to 4 points per repair center. However, you must have
"points" on hand in the form of repair material. These can be stored as
cargo with a maximum capacity of five points per mass devoted to repair
cargo. These same points could be used for reloads. Cost for Repair
Centers: 4 * Mass.
Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!
