Can we abuse the nature of orbital mechanics to fire at the Swarm without hitting our own station?

Alternatively, how long till we can bring our ships back up.

Can we abuse the nature of orbital mechanics to fire at the Swarm without hitting our own station?

Actually, these drones are small enough that they crowd into the drydock's assembly area. Even non-planetary defenses might have a problem with hitting those things reliably, giving these circumstances. So - no, not really.

You, well, could try to shoot the majority of them, through the drydock, to slightly lessen the sustained damage. The chances of that working, are rather slim though.

Alternatively, how long till we can bring our ships back up.

3 "Defender" Fleets - [12 Hull, 1 Plating, 4 Damage] - Planet-Side Refueling, 1/3 Turns

Is the the drydock assembly area sufficiently operational to disassemble these annoying things?

Even if it were fully operational, it would not be able to disassemble the drones in any kind of quick manner. While they may "just" be drones, their size is still not so small, as that conventional equipment could "deal" with them. As much as I actually like that idea, sorry, no dice.

Three Wardens fire at the easily shot swarmers.
The other three fire at anything entering their field of fire, prioritizing drydock-striking swarmlings (if they stop taking cover) > defilers > ravagers.

I second this plan, and suggest that next turn we launch our shuttles again to try drawing in the big bastards so we can kill them.
