Actually, Aldo, The way I wrote my campaign, I have your GTFr Vela freighter designed to carry Ganymede, Lycaeon and Acheron components closer to the front, so as to cut down on repair and travel times. Of course, this requires additional defense of the Ganymede repair installations since they're closer to the front, but that's what the Lycaeon and Acheron installations are for. ;7 :p ;)
