What about Shield booster drones that could come out of fighter bay ?
Instead of deploying two fighters you could have one fighter and multiples Shield Boosters drones. It could be available in some Engineer facility.
They would used modified engineered weapons that give strength to your shield, like Regeneration Sequence effect (Friend or Foe Beam modulation upgrade. When the beam strikes a wingman's shield its energy is regulated, regenerating the shield instead of damaging it).
A variation could be used to regenerate a shield faster. So there could be 2 types of Shield Booster Drones : One reinforcing shield, one regenerating shield faster.
To fight it NPC/Cmders would have to destroy them first to remove their shielding boost effect. They would be weak but very agile and moving fast.
Their effect would be limited in time like Limpets as they have limited fuel.
It would be used as a temporary protection to flee squadrons of pirates/griefers/cops for example.
I think it's a great idea and it could adds some variety to defend yourself against multiples opponents.
