FT Strikeboats

I hate bringing in an unarmed tender. That's a lot of points doing nothing. My
tenders aren't quite as armed as his, but they can take on any destroyer sized
ships. I would have run the tender with the battlewagons. If the enemy wants
to waste firepower on a tender while my heavies are engaging him then let him.

Oh, another reason I prefer to put FTL on my strike boats is that it gives me
more flexibility in choosing my fleet. With a tender you're stuck expending X
amount of points for the tender and all the boats it can carry. Now, if the
FTL drives were more massive or expensive (like Traveller's
jump drive+fuel space), then the battle rider concept has more merit.
