Re: Power Projection: Escort

If my players are stupid enough to attempt to go up against a 5000 ton 
Kinuner class battlecruiser in a 400 ton Gazelle class close escort then
I 
will, without hesitation, kill everyone.

What I am more concerned with is when faced with a 400 ton pirate can
their 
100 ton scout survive a few turns to give them time to roleplay out of
the 
situation or even have a chance of winning because of excellent gunnery,
and 
piloting skills of PCs.

I'll have to order the game, I can't resist another FT variant. :)
