I got all brave last night and went back for that 200k pirate base in Zenobia.
After some real fun cat and mouse in the asteroid belt; I had thinned down local patrols - and got sucked in to a fight with the battlestation at a reasonably convenient point.
My fleet wasn't great; but could easily take down a '1-module' pirate station - but as it happens is found a little wanting against the '2-module' constant barrage of fighters and harpoons.
I just can't get through the cloud of stuff; albeit it's no great threat either with some use of the avoid command - and I did manage to pick off most of the bigger threats in the mobile forces before giving up.
Okay; come back another day right?
Except I can't disengage because there is a Hound and a Kite desperate to re-engage my Apogee; Shrike; Falcon; Heron + 4xFrigates.
Workaround is to hunt the Hound and Kite down (and inevitably take a bit of grief / damage from the station; nearly popping my Apogee); but seems unfair that I am locked in to this fight - the mobile elements in the pirate force present zero threat to me (I should be able to just calmly plod off, right?)
Perhaps the logic behind large-ish fleets disengaging against 'stationary-targets-plus-a-bit' could be looked at, if possible?
