Idea:

A versus battle mode where the maximum number of players is cut from twelve to six, but in return each player can bring with them one ship no heavier than heavy cruiser tonnage. This extra ship is locked on a mode similar to the "Escort: Follow" mode in the missions. In addition, as long as the escort remains alive, your flagship gets healed incrementally, say about 1% a second. If the escort is sunk before the flagship, then the healing factor ends. If the flagship is sunk first, there could either be an option to take over the escort (kinda like and admiral transferring his flag from a crippled vessel), or the escort gets put into an attack mode, again like the missions, and Leroy Jenkins the nearest enemy.
