The defence for the cr/bs fleet has already launched by the time the fi/co show up, and the defence sent could easily die. I am certain there are several unexpected side effects to this as well.
I quite like this idea. Although if you give people the choice whether to defend for 1 or 2 ticks (when they launch there fleet) then you could limit "surprises" So you could pick which tick you wanted to defend and if your defense fleet could help for 2 ticks then you pick to let it stay for 2 ticks etc The defenders would get more XP. It could though, make it v.hard to defend against and then the pendulum has swung the other way!

I still like the idea......
