Seriuosly what's wrong with it?
It's not an issue unless one side decides to field a BB.

No one fields BB's, no change to the fleeting rules.
( I do think BCH's should be permitted to escort..but that's another server idea)

I mean an I- BBZ with 2 I-CVSZ as escorts will likely be able to handle themselves...

It also brings up another point on disengagements.....

Well, other points in this have brought it up....

Every time I see in the mission briefing about how if you are outnumbered or out gunned you should disengage.... but server rules say otherwise....

Forcing a deep strike such as ISC BBVZ that was lost b/c even though the planet and bases couldn't move.... the BB could not get away from them....::)

Ur insane with the fleeting exemption...

The retrying mission thingy sounds good for a one try redo UNLESS the players agree to keep beating a dead horse.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...
I agree with Hexx...
HOWEVER...
What if BOTH sides have a BB on?

But, Since 16 Capitol ship points is the max after 2275, and the BB takes 11...
That only leaves enough for 1 BCH, so if both sides field a BB, they're not going to have much else heavy metal on... ;)

But, it might prove an interesting option for the side that doesn't have a BB on... ;)
And, IMO, reflect the huge economic cost of operating a BB... ;D

A well escorted BB would be hard pressed to find itself disengaging from any non BB opposition fleet. That said, its still possible to put together a fleet that can catch a BB with one or none of its escorts. I had this happen 2x last night and the fights proved to be spectacular.

Whatever anyone says about a BB not being able to be taken down by a non BB fleet is smoking crack. Its easy. Rock paper scissors. Just make sure u bring all three to the fight and the BB fleet has one less. ;)

and the neet part is, there were no DREDS vs that BB, and the BB disengaged twice vs a HeavyBattleCruiser with a light wing, in 2 missions.  The 3rd one, was vs only the BCH, which the BCH disengaged.

How many MPG does a BB do?  Gas is expensive nowadays. :P

On GSA we used to do a fun little exercise we called "Sink the Bismarck" having one pilot field a BB of his choice and 5 others take 150 BPV max ships.  In all the times we played I don't think the BB ever won a fight, even when Cougar was flying it, although it would always destroy at least 2 of the smaller ships, killing 4 once.  This suggests to me that a fleet with a DN or BCH in it with good wings should be able to do the trick without the necessity of fleeting.

Heh, I've usually found the opposite playing "Sink the Bismarck".
