We certainly are. I merely meant that once we've shot off all our ordnance, it's better to have the option to turn around and go get more than to have to build another ship!

How many ASMs do we have left? Obviously we don't want to waste all our ammo on a few targets, but on the other hand I doubt we are much of a match for them at close range (do we even have beam weapons?).

kill the retreaing ship before it can get out of range!
In my current game I am way behind precursors (of my game) in sensor tech, tho its 2051. Still I only need a FC of size 2 HS to target a HS 8 ship on 28m km. Given it doesnt need to ping us, it's not completely unthinkable.Khan was in Bandit-3, over 25 million km away. If he has enough tech advantage to see my 450-ton Fighters and target them from that distance with freakin' PD weaponry, why aren't we dead already?
How far away are our missiles from the target now?
Hmm, wait, where about are our poor pilots floating now? Some of them survived right? How about we split either rock off to go pick them up, I'm sure they'd love to be shot at some more...
We will rescue any survivors AFTER the battle.
Every time we issue new movement orders to a fleet while engaged with the enemy, it takes up to a minute for them to acknowledge and act on the order. There are several life-pods, and considering the order delay it would take perhaps 15 minutes to pick them all up during the battle. We simply cannot afford the time, not with the enemy fleet already about 7.5 m-km away and closing on us at 9600 km/s. We will rescue any survivors AFTER the battle.
Is the Khan retreating towards a planet, apparently?
