@Treewyrm: Define what a "reasonably mixed fleet" is. And a question for you: Would you and your Keepers allow me to withdraw from an engagement? For example, I notice that the field of battle is lopsided against the Keepers and I decided to pull out.

A reasonable mixed fleet, in my opinion, largely depends on what kind of two or more forces end up in a fight. Not a problem if there is a capital ship or even few of them, I'm not a "all caps must be locked" type of proponent, but I would like to see them being escorted with fighters, bombers, etc. But not 2 BH battlecruisers, one BH battleship, one battlestar, one legate, and then for a bonus add a zoner destroyer and another one cap fully decked up with missiles and nothing else. So for example: a battlecruiser or a battleship plus two gunboats and a few fighters/bombers to them. Two battleships - okay, but not just when it's six-eight-or-more destroyers-to-battleships and zero fighters, zero bombers. Now to answer a second question: yes, you can withdraw from the fight before or in the fight even, roleplay that out (and/or you can use private message too if you want to, though roleplay is preferred method of course), show your intention and very likely a good chance we all will get along with it just fine, unless of course you've been in a fight for all the time and want to safely bail out on a one hull square left.
