Wait, what? 2 hits? Since when? We should not be talking about 2 hit escorts for BFG:R. At least, not for the main document. While I'm not one of them there is a sizeable chunk of the community against 2 hit escorts. We're talking easy to swallow changes, remember? So give a balanced 1 hit option for all escorts and then give an alternative 2 hit profile for those inclined to go down that path. Main issue for BFG:R isn't to rewrite the rules, but rather provide a correction to imbalances. This should mostly be in the form of price revisions, but also other changes where warranted. As small as possible. Of course, by all means throw in some good ideas like 2 hit escorts and whatnot, just don't assume them to be standard.
As for the idea of voting, well that's all well and good for minor adjustments to current profiles. So, for example, the notion of voting on a profile change to the Defender to make it balanced, particularly in light of its competition. That's fine.
But when you're talking more radical changes, such as what would a 2 hit Defender profile be, then I think that instead of voting on a ship by ship basis, we should compile a list of 2 hit escorts taken from each fleet list and review them as a whole.
