[Diaspora] Mini-Game Help

[Jeffrey Hosmer]

I might use that as a House Rule for my campaigns.  I think my solution for
this mini-game scenario will be to introduce another friendly ship, one with
a better V-shift, that can act as a defender for the larger, slower vessel.
Then the PCs can crew both ships and feel like they al have a chance to
shine.  Of course, there will have to be one or two more torpedo boats
chasing after them... :)

When I'm done running this, I'll post the scenario for everyone to see.  I
won't pretend that it is the best game ever, but someone else might want to
use it as a starting point to showcase the mini-games.
