Major Kobayashi, whatever targets we hit, they gotta be soft and easy to take out. Trade lanes are easy to disrupt temporarily, but hard to disable permanently, given how hardened all the components are. Coordinating a disruption with when we make the strike on the satellite would be the ideal play here, so that's a great idea. Liberty's biggest strength is their response time, so anything we can do to delay that gives us a crucial edge.
It goes without saying that this would be an extremely dangerous mission for the pilots doing the disruption, though, since they'd have to fight off the arriving forces, or at least keep them pinned down. They'd have to be fully prepared to give their lives to buy time for others. If we can get any volunteers for that, though, then it'll make a huge difference, especially if we can get enough to space them out along the rings. Sequentially disrupting the lanes would give us even more time, and tie up the forces very asymmetrically--even one pilot could keep them tied up if they disrupt a ring, go to cruise, and then fly to the next to take it out.
The other risk is that pilots might come from the other side of the gate, from West Point, but this is prolly a bit less of a risk given the lag with interstellar comms. Alma's definitely going to be the biggest asset they've got to manage this with.
Get me a list of volunteers for the mission. If we can assemble a good squadron of fighters and bombers, we'll have enough force to accomplish our objectives with the time we'll have. But get that to me soon. We don't need perfect, we just need good enough.
