Thanks for all of the comments.

But haven't we seen ships towing other ships at warp speed in the past? I could swear that we had. Obviously, the surviving crew of
Horizon will need to be transferred to
Endeavour for the duration of the journey back to Earth, but I was really hoping to salvage
Horizon herself. Ah well. Guess CDR Mayweather will have to get a
Daedalus class named in honor of this
Neptune. He better keep an eye on his copy of
Chicago Mobs of the Twenties when he visits Sigma Iotia II...

An for the life of me I cant figure out why the heck they cut it out?

I personly have to watch that scene every time I watch the movie.
Time, I think.
Damn!! Thats it. No more pilots becoming Captains anymore. From this point on, only Cheif engineers, or Tactical officers only get to be promoted to the higher ranks. Man I cant decide Which Trip was better as, Cheif Engineer, or Captain. One things for sure he's brilliant in both positions.
Pilots are fine too. Dan Hsiao is a pilot and you approved of his leadership abilities.
They probably have a rallying, fall back/regrouping position the fleet was to meet at in case the battle went south.
A logical assumption.

That's actually how I interpret his character. First and foremost, he's a pilot. He was trained to be a pilot and loved being one. Although we didn't see it often on the show, I imagine he spent as much time "in the driver's seat" as possible for various reasons, ranging from love of doing it to maintaining his "flight hours" for his flight pay. But yeah, the way I interpret him, he's more comfortable behind the controls of a ship/plane/shuttlepod than he is being the captain/commodore. That's one of the reasons why I see him as a tragic character from this point forward in my universe. Due to his increasing duties, he won't have the time to pilot, so the two things that he loves the most in life (Erika, followed by being a pilot) have been taken from him, and he's trapped by both destiny/fate/whatever and his own personality to always move forward.
Believe it or not, Daniels will make an
actual appearance in
Endeavour: Grendel. I had an idea for a scene between him & Jon in this very regard that is just too cool (if I can write it correctly) to
not do.

Completely agreed. The situation they were facing (a numerically superior force, aware of their approach, on prepared ground) made it such that no one (not Kirk or Sisko or Sheridan of B5) would have been able to salvage a victory out of this. If Archer had not made the immediate decision to order his forces to retreat, even more casualties would have occurred.
