[delta_v] Holographic Escorts

[Max Gleeson]

I think what the major issue here is that these holographic escorts are 
pretty much a nearly perfect defense system, and we don't want some 
defensive "forklift" level defense in play. So people are trying to 
figure out how to shortchange it somewhat, so that it doesn't make the 
game so easy that avoiding battles is so easy as plunking down a few 
million credits.

A very important part of any plug or outfit is balance. A good game 
never offers something for nothing, so this defense system is going to 
have to have drawbacks. Steady fuel drain, shield cuts, chance of 
malfunction, all of that.

Remember: forklifts are fun for a while, but they do take away from the 
gameplay. Just keep that in mind while you go ahead with this.
