−	A [[~~Fleet~~ Tender]] is a generic name used for all tenders who carry combat oriented [[non-starship]]s ([[vessel]]s of 100+ [[ton]]s). 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]]s. 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 Drive\|maneuver drive]]s. They are usually produced with dispersed structure hulls in order to allow simultaneous launch of all craft carried as the ship arrives in a system. Since the tender cannot skim [[gas giant]]s 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\|gas giant]] in the system they move to. Riders tend to be streamlined, and can perform refueling operations quite nicely.	+	#REDIRECT [[Tender]]
