Hmmm, different idea guys. How do you feel about this.
We are between the 2nd and 3rd planet of the system, each planet has 10 ships plus a wide net of "several" ships trying to contain us. 20 ships coming from sunward, 10 from out system and some others.
Rather than trying to break through the smaller force (and still allow the others to fire at us) and also potentially put us in a position where the fleet following us can get to us easily what if we tried to use the gravity wells of the nearby planets, ram through ships in that direction, and then slingshot ourselves to the next nearest mandeville point to make good our warp out of here?
It would take time and energy for the enemy ships to try and chase us by reversing their own momentums, plus we could use the planets themselves as a bit of cover.
In the very least, putting the planets gravity well away from the direction of the place we came from means if an enemy fleet is chasing us and drops out of warp they have to drop out of warp on the mandeville points opposite where we are.
>>5209117Is this image semi-accurate to what you've written or is there a better placement description?
Would this idea work? Trying to slingshot via gravity wells and also putting them between us and where the enemy fleet may be following us?
