In just about every battle I've fought I've sent ships packing once they
were damaaged to teh point where they couldn't contribute to the fight
either offensively or with PDS. I rarley do the battle of annihlation
thing, (Space, boardgame, or miniature), and to be honest with you it's
really for the completely hokey reason that having been on the sharp end
myself a  number of occasions, I've not got the stomach to order the
useless annihilation of my forces even for cardboard victories.
Especially
since I'd rather have them around to fight another day.
