If the pirate fleet is in force there, we can either crush them at home or send the Alexander back for reinforcements. If they're absent, we can assault the station and destroy or capture it, leaving the pirates without anywhere to resupply or refuel, and likely pushing them into a desperation attack against one target or the other.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Now that's what I'm talking about.  100% agreement... except for one point, we can always use an Astropath to summon reinforcements instead of sending the Alexander... it's faster.<br/><br/>If we use Jason's plan for scouting the nebula on the way in, if the pirates have any scouts out, we'll have a good chance of spotting them on the way in.  The more area we cover as we approach the pirate base, the better our chances to avoid an ambush.  We should crush any pirates that are away from the base on the way in, to keep them from reinforcing their buddies when we finally hit the place.
