RE: Power Projection: Escort

In all fairness, ships die fast because the rules system is written to
allow
for very large ships (see Power Projection: Fleet for the battleships,
etc.)
and so escort size ships are pre force very small and fragile. I think
overall the Power Projection series (Escort nd Fleet) are excellent
games,
but maybe not suitable for an RPG.

Very much like Full Thrust, really. Ships do die pretty fast; I wouldn't
use it for a ship full of PCs.
