-For any given ship tonnage, a ship which is not burdened with [[jump drive]]s and jump fuel can be better armed and armored than a ship which must carry those jump drive. The concept of '''Fleet tenders''' takes advantage of this fact. A fleet tender is a large jump-drive equipped ship which carries several big craft, each of which is well-armed, well-armored, and usually fitted with high acceleration maneuver drives.

-Fleet tenders are usually produced with dispersed structure hulls in order to allow simultaneous lauch of all craft carried immediately as the ship arrives in a system. Since the tender cannot skim gas giants for refueling, the ships it carries must contain sufficient fuel tankage to refuel the tender in a reasonable time; often they must be streamlined to allow them to gather fuel from oceans if there is no gas giant in the system they move to.
