If warp sling can surprise your enemy with an attack, couldn't it also surprise your enemy with a retreat? You see the enemy coming in and your commander simply says Warp sling out of this battle before we get killed.

Perhaps, but why waste half your MV for a RX need when the BM does the same thing for only a single MV point.

Because you can be trapped using a BM with multiple enemy squadrons using Bottleneck.

A Flywheel would be another good retreat method. Either the Flywheel or the Warp Sling would provide a method around the multiple Bottleneck trap method.
