Strategy for P2P repeating?

One of the biggest differentiators between Meshcore and Meshtastic is the P2P repeaters.

Both approaches have significant trade-offs.

What if there were messages sent with flag (e.g. P2P)? Perhaps enabled in settings to send automatically after (2xMemoryPath +) 3xFlood with no ack - allowing for better pen and coverage?

My use case for these devices is emergency comms, and adding a feature like this would give me a much desired safety net. P2P repeating could be the difference between getting a message through or not.

Are you talking about companions repeating? There’s an off grid mode for that but it is explicitly blocked from participating in the regular mesh.
