Its a great tactics, and its doable and people should do it. Whats your problem man, why did you say it's oorp when its not?
What now I'll let a player who complains about every step of this game and isn't even allowed to play now to dictate me how will my game go?
Not likely. Why don't you think about things that are really oorp and start thinking hard about them, and then continue on things what are illegal to do since I see you're not allowed to play now.
There's nothing to keep civil here, as things are already working as best as they come when it comes to bats / bots situation. If a repair ship could magically spend its bots to repair your hull and shield, it would be awesome, but it can't, and it probably won't ever be able to, so we counter the situation by trading bots and bats, just like that.
If you feel the need to visualize how this work in RP just imagine they're both stored outside the ship actually where batteries connect to the hull and let the electronic burst thats set to the shield frequency so it actually replenishes the shield and think of nanobots as the, well.. nanobots that are released to repair the hull their computer marks as disfunctional.
Now picture one player simply changing the frequency of his bots to fit to his wingman's ship.
