1. fuel drained
2. will disappear (overload) after a while
3. if your ship is hit the escorts disappear... something like that..
My 2 cents.

Actually, all of the above could work, IF the holographic projectors
were tied-in to the Cloaking Device (I am assuming there _is_ still a
cloaking device in EV:Nova). Keeping the ships "lit" would drain my
fuel, and when my ship was hit, or just ran out of fuel, the holograms
would disappear. They're only a temporary (read: when hyper-jumping
through asteroid fields, or when ambushed) defense, anyway.

Great ideas!
