Why would I fight in any of those situations if I'm
the attacker?

If the defending squadrons in a star system decide to
hide in the star's corona, HOORAY!  I can safely
ignore them.  I'm going to swing into orbit around the
main world, blast the orbital installations that don't
surrender quickly, and start landing troops or
bombarding or doing whatever else comes to mind.  

If there are asteroid belts thick enough to notice
(hint:	as far as we know, this only happens on TV,
not the the real world) then I'll avoid them by coming
in above the plane of the ecliptic if necessary.
