He's definitely going to be hiding forces in the derelicts and torpedoing then! Also sniper artillery ships.
Could he use a bit of sensor trickery and visual camouflage to make EDSF think his corvettes are on their side and ~surprise~ they're not? Alternately, (and I've seen this trick on a sci-fi show) can he set up some of his smaller ships with scramblers to make it seem like he has a lot more capital ships in the area he wants the EDSF to head to where he wants them and ~surprise~ the actual capital ships have been sent elsewhere.
Staging a very visible pull-out to Phobos, to lure EDSF into ambushes with forces with ships he's put in place for when they respond is definitely something he'd do!
How much of it can he accomplish at once with the forces he has available?
