Your point about "soft time compression" is well made, however, in my limited experience one seems generally limited to 2 firing passes by an escort. I'm suggesting it should be 5-10 or so, not hours upon hours. As it stands, the period of being hunted is so short it doesn't even affect battery or air-use unduly, and damage beyond loss of light-bulbs is non-existant assuming no near direct-hit.
I can see an argument exists for not introducing longer searches/attacks until a the damage/repair model has more fidelity, as suffering a longer dc attack without more incremental and varied damage to sort out would be poor.
