>>> If you can only jump once every 6 hours while the FTL recharges 

Recharging for a tacjump wouldn't take six hours.  I'm pretty sure that my first post said "half a dozen turns" or something to that effect. Does that make it look better?


>Why does this mechanic need changing? If you make it too easy for a fleet to jump out you could just end up with fleets sitting back salvoing MT missiles and then jumping.

So? They can do that anyway.

Not necessarily random, just dispersed.

>There is a reason that paradroping is not used into a warzone often. It's high risk and the casualties are often heavy.

Don't carry the paradrop analogy too far.  In this case *both sides* are dropping in.
