So I'm noticing a lot of votes for [Limited Bombardment]. Are you guys certain that settling in for a protracted siege is a wise decision?
>You don’t want to kill everyone aboard just yet, you just want to crack their pride and beat some answers out of them. You haven’t had much luck just yet, but perhaps with the right sort of genocidal incentive, they might give in. Target their engines, then start picking off life support systems once every hour until they feel like speaking up. If they have anything sneaky planned though, you’ll give them time to try it.

Even if we've pruned their principle war fleet, giving the Eldar any wiggle room to cook up some sort of scheme or call for help seems like a god-awful decision.
Based on the precedent these Eldar have set, they'll probably choose death before surrender or negotiation. Hell, we have a fleet's worth of armaments trained on the *SOUL* of their civilization and they still won't even concede to opening a dialogue with us.
Additionally, our fleet has also taken substantial damage, and the unfamiliar and otherworldly terrain leaves us vulnerable and heavily disadvantages pretty much all aspects of our operation.
If you guys really want to risk bagging some Eldar to diddle or whatever, then I recommend infiltrating the craftworld and performing surgical kidnappings.
