Re: Star System Attack

Mainly, i was thinking an attacker would be wise to jump in WAY out 
of the system and attempt to Boost/Glide and use natural assets like 
planets or asteroid fields to mask his approach and course changes. 
Using a planet's gravity well to assist with course changes etc. Only 
when near a potential target would you light off the drives and 
radiate a signature. Most drives in RL radiate a lot of energy be it 
chemical or radiation (I mean how stealthy can you be in an ORION for 
instance) by USING a system's terrain for a planned incursion, an 
attacker could maximize his potential for tactical surprise....
