You can only have 6 escorts.
Hmm...
But asuming that all of those 6 escorts are cruiser, who all hold 4(?) smaller ships, you have 24 ships. And asuming that you have a six ships yourself (which is max, if you are in a cruiser ship, and have bought the Hawk Bay and put two hawks therein) you get 30 ships. 31 with you.
The max is 32 ships in a system at once (right? or is it 64?), hence the Feds will manage to send out one ship at the time, and a Frigate can easily take out a Hawk, Manta or a Patrol Ship. So in the end, not even that trick will work as you after a while will be alone with a bunch of Frigates.
Sol sucks.
