COMMENTS
The Nomadic-class Scout Carrier is a long-distance mothership/tender 
for the Jakar expeditions.  It is outfitted with six starships:
* two Flyerman II (with extra fuel capasity, for in-system scouting)

This starship is expected to operate for 82 days without refuelling.

A ship;s boat and two Padre Fuel Skimmers are also provided. 
It takes 32 trips for one Padre to completely refuel a Nomadic-class starship. 

26,000 tons of fuel is needed for a single jump4 jump; 
19,500 tons for a single jump3 jump; 
13,000 tons for a single jump3 jump;
6,500 tons for a single jump1 jump.

An extra 100 tons of fuel is kept on-board, as an emergency reserve 
to fuel the smaller ships.  SOP is for on-board starships to fuel themselves.

Game assumptions:
The homeworld is Pop 8, TL D Pop mod 5 (500 million)
Total naval budget = 250 BCr / year (500 Cr per person)
   -- 250 BCr / year
Budget devoted to system defense = 80%
Budget devoted to colonial (ex-system, jumpship) operations = 20%
   --  50 BCr / year
Percentage of colonial operations budget given to small ships = 20% 
   -- 10 BCr / year
