Well duh, if the behemoth turns round to attack, its gonna die. Behemoth running = behemoth initiative.

Yeah I dropped a moth to about 30% in a freebus. The moth has issues fighting.

and no, every fighting ship should not be able to take down every trading ship with impunity.

Which brings us to our next class of ships, the medium-heavy fighters/interceptors. You can't take out a tank with a humvee, you shoot it with another tank, or some kind of rocket.

I had been chased one time over the course of 3 Worm holes and 1 ion storm along the way. I was dropped down to 7% before getting away (had to double jump into empty areas).

Mines are a very handy thing to have while in the behemoth (IMO). Mines kept peopleoff me on many occasions.
