RE: Forcing fights

<Small Laugh>

I recently added some of ITTTs standard merchant ships (and some Q-Ship
variants). Note that these ships are larger than the merchant ships in
the
back of FB1 because I thought that there was a need for interfaced craft
to
service smaller colonies. This adds size to the vessel and to make a
profit
the cargo size must be expanded as well.
True a 'Husky' mass 600 freighter with 252 mass in cargo makes a juicy
target. But heaven help you if you run into the Q-Ship version, 'Hokey'.
Also, like the IAS and OU, ITTT's freighters are modular and may switch
out
cargo modules for weapons modules, so dedicated Q-Ships are augmented in
times of particular trouble.
