OK. Let's look at it this way. A group of Corsairs comes across a group of Shidens. The Shidens CANNOT force the Corsairs into combat nor can they easily avoid a fight. So far, your arguments have centered around tying the Corsairs to a ship or a group of bombers (and even then the Corsair's performance advantages are too much to be overcome). But will you at least admit that the Shiden cannot force a group of Corsairs into combat?
