That was the (relatively) easy part. The hard part was successfully running the gauntlet of Makassar’s defenses during the low altitude slingshot maneuver, while at the same time trying to hit the industrial centers with HE and KE missile strikes. Drake knew from past experience that the defending lasersats were at a relatively low altitude in order to have overlapping coverage with a reasonable number of satellites. While those lasersats could theoretically hit his boats this far out, he doubted very much if the person commanding those assets would be so foolish as to fire them now because his boats were small, as ship targets went, and they were maneuvering in an evasive pattern around their overall trajectory. That meant that after travelling at the speed of light for almost 18 seconds, the odds of an x-ray laser beam arriving at exactly the right spot was virtually zero. His boats would have to get a lot closer before they were in danger from lasersat blasts, but he could still fire missiles at them, and he intended to do exactly that. With their much higher acceleration, those missiles would reach their targets in less than 30 minutes. It would take his missile boats almost four hours to cover that same distance.
