   It was a C-9 with no escorts, and it was low on fuel so it couldn't just 
 accelerate to warp all the time.  Limited drones too.

   Hmm, in FT terms you'd probably limit the max velocity of the SDN and not
 allow it to jump away for a minimum number of turns.  You'd be looking at 
 frigates and destroyers chasing it, with a bigger force showing up if you 
 manage to dog it long enough.  Somehow you need to force the shadowing forces
 to need to attack the sdn, or at least stay near it, while at the same time
 forcing the sdn to consider whether to drive them off or run.
