Re: [FT] CPV vs. NPV

I play in the Tuffleyverse but in a back-back-back water set of stars
where local designs are the realm of several groups and a flag ship
should really be a Very Small BC or a Heavy Heavy cruiser type.  The
only
time a capital ship shows up is when somebody outside the systems tries
muscling in (and the sponsors of the other side respond.

And I definitely have some less than optimal designs built 'locally' and
the lurking on the edges aliens (unique to my void brackish ass end of
space) are definitely not Canon!

A mongrel spot of space for a mongrel GM...

Gracias,
Glenn
