Default Re: Another problem with retreating from combat

It is not the faster ships that are the problem. They've got a legitimate tech advantage, or possibly less guns and armor in order to fit more engines (QNP).

It is the ships of the same speed that can escape forever.
Which means you need to sacrifice guns/armor to catch them, and which then means you have a big disadvantage in the fighting.
