<<	I've been tinkering around with a new type of FTL drive system
for my
 personal background that works kind of like a TUG drive.  The drive
 belongs to a power that has just more or less figured out jump drive,
 but can't build them small enough to fit in their light warships.  Like
 a tug, these ships extends their jump fields around smaller ships and
 carries them through hyperspace.  However, when the ships emerge, they
 are subject to the same "scatter" rules that ships coming into real
 space must go through.  This force tends to favor large capital ships
in
 the first place, believing in "might makes right" rather than fleet
 variety. >>
I think that is simular to the J engines in Star Fire, it could work. 
How
about having "parasite" ships to go with your Cap ships?
