Ooh! Idea! For the next encounter, we should work on force balance or something. Like, "Let's have some caps this time; we'll bring a couple of gunboats, you bring some destroyers" or "Fighters-only" or "Our bombers and your caps" or whatever. Y'know, like, work out some scenarios. QCO patrol in Tau gets ambushed by the KNF, or KNF returning to Honshu being chased by QCO, etc.
OOOOH! Yes! And we could have some transport pilots sometimes, like a convoy protection mission. Some kind of cargo the Brets don't want leaving their territory, or vice versa. How's all that sound? Any of it any good? Or just too much work? Or maybe not every week, but sometimes?
Also, I'm using QCO here as a catch-all term including the QCP and SF.
