Anyone done anything with these? I'm thinking of a scenario whereby the scout + S type + PCs are called in on their next scout base refuel to provide escort for an armed trader (maybe 2) carrying "a valuable cargo". The PCs won't be told that it's a Q ship, since the idea is to lure potential attackers out into the open, and the Navy don't want the game given away. In fact, they may do several jumps with no attacks, and I'll throw some clues in (e.g. the crew of the merchant ship are a bit loose tongued in dodgy bars etc). I may also set them up with another Scout ship also acting as Escort that appears to be a bit on the iffy side, just to keep them paranoid.
I noticed (in T20 anyway) that the Subsidized Merchant and the Patrol Cruiser are the same tonnage, so was thinking initially of a specialised Patrol cruiser stats in a Subsidized Merchant hull.
Any other plot twists gratefully received!
cheers,
Mark
