Depending on the position of my ships and the amount of Delta Vee 
that I have on tap, I'll either FTL out if the ROE allow it or I'll 
thrust away from the fighters until I've got more Vee than they have 
with a combined move.

Mind you this kind of tactic leaves one with the presumtion there are 
other places where forces are as well (rather than "other space, 
being the alternate reality next to the player's ssds and in the 
fig's box).

If I can FTL after your carriers then I'll do so. A Complement of 
Fast cruisers would do so as well. This is how the New Isrealies 
would deal with the IF is it not? Hunt down the Tugs/Carriers?
