@Tennousu, I've done that too, with mixed results. Don't you find the searchlight holder in 2-6 is often damaged to orange/red before their turn? Or is the idea to give it to more tanky, or less yasen-effective ships? I find the high odds of an opening CI of a searchlight flag to be a good way to start yasen in most (not all) cases.

@Zeraphix, That's what I want to believe, and I'll probably keep running searchlight flag. It's just that I do recall the enemy ignoring the searchlight flag and going for other ships on more than a few occasions. I was wondering if this was just due to bad luck / random targeting, or actual flagship protection as some event commenters said.
