Subject: RE: [FT] Scenario Question
1. Unless it's an ex-military ship (or they have extremely good contacts in the military), most pirates should not have access to exotic weapons or beams larger than class-3. You can let him have the class-4 beam & watch what happens when the tin can escort swamp him from 3 sides. ;-) 2. Boarding actions (from MT) after disabling the drives (needlebeams). As long as he can disable the FTL drives, once the escort is destroyed, most of the freighter will surrender anyway to avoid unnecessary casualties (as long as they are offered quarter). With regards to integrating a Q-ship into the convoy, see Operation Trojan Horse: http://users.mcmedia.com.au/~denian/ft/webgames/trojan.htm 'Neath Southern Skies - http://users.mcmedia.com.au/~denian/ [MKW] - Admiral Peter Rollins - Task Force Zulu > -----Original Message-----
