All ships have places to store food, and their 'consumables' are listed in their stats. I don't think food storage is something we need to worry about. There should be food on each ship.

The Jedi might be safer on a dedicated military ship but they want some independence from the Alliance. Getting rid of the Whaladon would be silly.

We got food from X-planet on Y-trip after Z-jump to B-sector last week. Weren't you there? (Also, C-freighter brought in more foodstuffs on a supply run the other day.) This isn't something that's a big deal either. It happens. It becomes a big deal if someone wants to do an RP around a resupply trip, in which case they should do so.

Storing salvage parts and bits and pieces should be split as evenly as possible between all the ships. If they're under attack and the 'salvage storage' ship gets blown up, well then we're shit outta luck. Again, salvage isn't a big deal unless we have engineers RPing daily repairs, in which case each ship should have their own stores of appropriate parts gathered from resupply runs or salvage operations. imo.

How the jumps happen would be a Tyree decision. So, up to you I guess. You could send a couple X-Wings ahead to scout, it's not like the Rogues do much beside drink and fornicate.

The idea was/is that the Wheel stays off all known trade routes for the most part, and jumps into black space. Keeping track of Imperial locations is a good idea regardless and I guess that Challenger uses their communication maguffin to covertly get information to and from Intelligence.

The more 'dedicated ships' the Alliance throws at this = a TON more actual Rebel soldiers and stuff taken off the front lines. I don't think we need more Rebel ships, but that's just my opinion. Any more and we're talking a ludicrious amount of extra personnel. We have other ships and freighters in the convoy and these personal ships can be used to scout the next jump location on a rotating schedule or something. Maybe?
