Great stuff here! A fantastic expansion of *Shall Not Perish*!

Yes, this is a must! I would only suggest that an initial `jump drone' is
dispatched as soon as the in-system forces are engaged by a hostile force -
just in case things go poorly you wouldn't want the drone not to be
dispatched at all. Better to have the folks at the next base prematurely
worried than surprised.

This is a great rationale for the improvement of starports in the Sword
Worlds. I can just see the Deneb Information Service (DIS) news brief
now: "Oberlindes Lines Announces Shipbuilding Contract with Gorram
Yards on Gram/Sword Worlds".
