As Zeltak said, bot and batt trading is a legitimate tactic in fights. There are advantages and disadvantages to it.

On the new type of bots idea.. It's not a good one. Say you have 1 unit of hull damage. Just one. Now while fighters have 50+ bots, wasting a single bot isn't that big a deal. But if you have 1 unit of hull damage, 2 bots, each doing 5,000 repair each.. You accidentally hit the button and you're out 4,999 units of hull.. Or say you have 5,001 units of hull damage.. There is no way to just use one bot at a time, so you just wasted an entire bot because you can't tell the exact amount of damage in units that you have. This would seriously gimp fighters and bombers while barely effecting capships. Things are fine as they are. If you want to make fights shorter, you need to change gun damage and/or hull values for all ships. And the balance in that is much much more difficult than changing it across the board.
