Besides, cruising away is a bunch of rubbish. Don't you have a CD? I only do a single cruise-attempt usually, after this I run on thrusters only, because an able pirate will come closer and closer when you try to cruise multiple times. If you want to start your cruise engines, wait until the pirate starts his own to catch up to you. He can't fire a CD and start his cruise engines at the same time, can't he?
