Take them head on

"Bring us as close as you can! Let’s see how fast they can turn that thing!" you order.

"Aye-aye," Elena answers.

The two ships begin to face each other, exchanging shot after shot in the blackness. Elena is able to dodge all projectiles, and she delivers blow after blow on the enemy vessel. She is just perfect! As you keep closing in on them, the Zheng He changes course to avoid a possible collision, but Elena has already expected that: your vessel flung by a sharp turn and delivered right on top of them.

"Now!" you order. Elena complies, turning the engines to full throttle.

Will you succeed?

"Jamming is down!" Elena says, as the Zheng He becomes nothing but a molten pile of rubble behind you.

"Punch it!" you say, but by that time Elena has already commenced the jump, taking you away from the scene of crime.
