Payload & Porter
Payload S/L-X. When building your fleet, you may take any number of Payload Ships—tonnage limits do not apply and they have no Group size. All Payload S/L Ships must be assigned to a Porter S/L Ship with the same letter, and take up X capacity. Payload Ships may not activate or be targeted until detached.
During the Porter's activation, if it is on an Order that allows it to Launch, you may detach one or more Payload Ships and place them within 3" of it. The round they are detached, they activate together immediately as part of the Porter's activation after it completes its Order. In subsequent rounds, all your Payload Ships count as a single Group. Crippling Effects, Spikes, and group-wide rules only affect the targeted Payload Ship.
Payload Ships always follow General Quarters Orders, even if their Porter is on different Orders. They ignore Coherency (and gain no Formation Benefits), have no Lead Ship, are targeted individually, and attacks only damage the targeted Payload Ship. If a Payload Ship is attached when its Porter is destroyed, the Payload is destroyed.
Porter S/L-X. May be assigned Payload Ships with the same letter up to total capacity X. During its activation, it may reattach any detached Payload Ships within 3" if capacity is available. Reattached Payloads are removed from the table to be deployed in a later round. All tokens, Spikes, and effects on the reattached Ship are removed.
