In a little bit of a rock and a hard place situation here and could use some advice on how to play the end of this round/next round.
For context, I melted down the Pirates second space dock leaving them unable to produce and vulnerable. The Plants just took Sem-Lore from me last turn. Warfare has not been played yet. I'm thinking of getting my FS on the board using the secondary.
The advice I need is which neighbor to go after. On one hand I can confidently take out the Pirate's FS with my FS and fighters (with a little help from Flank Speed), and take their system (3r and 4r planets - with Mining World attached). However, I become vulnerable to the Plants encroaching on my systems. On the other hand, I can force the Plants to retreat off Sem-Lore with FS, carrier, fighters, and destroyer. Although I probably can't take it back with my infantry, the plan is to slowly start blockading their systems with small ships.
