If you can have a draft radius of one, and it seems that is possible with a slight delay in movement time, then the argument for the disenagaement rule goes. The hunted player is almost always going to be able to be drafted by the hunters if they are alert, as he will have to move 2 hexes at a slower speed, and so should be caught.
With 1 hex draft radius in hotspots it is sometimes difficult to get out and resupply and fix battle damage which is good. Many times people fight in less than ideal shape, and people would have to weigh up whether the risks were worth taking before entering a hotspot.
The down side is the DN on a hex can be pulled off, allowing ships onto the now undefended hex. (CW5 was when it changed because of this)
On balance the PvP would be better, more players in PvP and multiple PvP. Kzin always used to hunt in packs and use numbers to counter bigger ships.
Can serious consideration be given by admins to this please.
