Given the choice, a sane RT will probably prefer to, you know. Fire from maximum effective range and just annihilate the things with sheer weight of fire. Every RT who does even a little bit of space combat will generally know that it is best to stay behind a ship and pump fire into it without being able to be shot at (well, shot at much) and that if you are given the choice, it's smartest to do that...

The fact that he can treat this fight like, well, a fight between a slow bomber and a space superiority small craft (void or aeronatica, whatever), wouldn't be lost on the RT. He'd have an equivalent for getting into the right frame of mind; what matters if he manages to make the mental leap or not... and if so, can his skill in navigation, that of his crew / helmsman, and the people in charge of targeting adapt to this reality?
And if they pause for the few moments to allow the lance banks to fire a full barrage that leaves them open not only to teleport attacks from the more well equipped ship, but also to telepathic attacks.
