What is the strategy for using a Fleet Tender since your "mothership" class self-destruct and leaving your fleet stranded?
Anybody with a suggestion for a fleet in combination with Fleet Tender?

fleet tender (class 4 ship)
a fast warp-ship, but it cannot be used in battles because it has an instable warp-core that destroys the whole fleet if it gets enemy contact (even one enemy mothership is too much). (caution! self destruction!)
suicide fleet? |

All I could ever see using one for was to replensh fleets you have somewhere really far like the black hole.Say you have 3 fleets one is a fleet tender and you just battled and lost some key ships but you still have a good enough fleet to maybe fight again send your fleet tender home to pick them up and fly back its warp 8 I think so much fast than sending a mothership.
You can never battle with it thou because you will lose everytime It is like the name tends to your fleets.

The Syntax says all:

battlemessage: "fleet-tender warp core breach detected"
(battle engine syntax: mod,self,all,4,all,*,0,0,fleet-tender warp core breach detected,n) |

For a low cost
You can use Time Slipper and it doesn't self destruct but cost a lot

I used to use a fleet tender with a shadowstar. I was over a day from the black hole, so I left my two fleets there, and just ran back and forth with my tender so I had a steady supply of ships.
Also, if you let it standby while you fight, you can keep ships you dont want in that particular battle in the fleet tender's fleet. You know, vulnerable ships, like cyclopses when your enemy has no class one. |

thatz tru but using other less costly ships would surely be more efficient right?
