> RACE. The plan remains the same. We will proceed towards mining stations A and B at maximum burn, launching conventional missiles as soon as we reach our maximum engagement range. The drone fleet will attempt to damage mining station C. [This choice may allow you to escape their capitals, but you will not be able to outrun their escorts. You will have to expend at least two missiles to destroy the two stations.]
> FIGHT. We will pick them apart piece by piece. After destroying the escort group, we try lose the two capitals in the asteroid field while engaging with the hypometric weapon and various cyberwarfare measures. We will be able to destroy the mining stations at our leisure once the patrol ships have been destroyed. [Riskier given the possibility of direct combat, but you will be able to engage the stations with conventional weapons rather than using limited ordinance]
> BAIT. We can order one of our scouting drones to emit a false return - potentially drawing one of the cruisers out of position before we engage. [Better combat odds, but you will lose a scouting drone if the enemy ship reaches it before you do]
>WRITE IN?
[As before, you have three tries to guess the position of the escort group that just scouted you. Alternatively, you can turn on your radar/active sensor array (dotted white circle) to reveal their location at an additional ELINT penalty]
