I usually try and get ahead of the convoy and lay in wait for it to pass by me. I try and single out the big ships first. Once I unload on them, I make it for the middle of the convoy while reloading tubes. Once inside it, I'll try and line up some more ships. Usually by this time, the escorts are on me and is time to beat feet. Only time I 'll mess with an escort first, is if he presents himself as a good target before I go after the convoy. I have found that if you mess with them first, they seem to get all over you before you can get any good shots off on the merchants.
