Not if you have to pay for the tug/tender in your point cost and/or
bring it
along into combat. One of the major tasks for the New Israel fleet I've
designed is dealing specifically with IF raiders. NI deep range groups
are
tasked with killing IF ships equipped with FTL, be they warships or
freighters pressed into military service. An IF raiding group can be
neutralized for a significant time (if not permanently) if you kill its
tender - if they can signal for help, then the Sultan has to divert
other
ships to rescue. If they can't, they'll have to surrender or die when
life
support runs out.
