SFL can be pretty nasty when flown by deadly/elite npc crew.
I've seen an Elite SLF wasting a CMDR piloted iCourier torpedo boat twice in the same fight.
Usually in pvp the SLF (if used) is the first target.
In PVE, my SLF crew can handle basically anything 1vs1 (well, the SpecOps wing does not count) - that does not necessarily means that my Elite SLF can win any fight, but that it can survive a fight sometimes indefinitely
Having a wing of CMDR, each with 2 Elite SLF... would be just too much...
