The White Star was moving through a highly charged atmosphere, which would leave detectable trails; it was being fired at by the shadow vessel, which would’ve attracted considerable attention from the flares; diving at that speed and coming back up there would be considerble heat on the surface of the ship (not normally a problem in space); and it was pretty much shaken up/partially damaged during the fight.

If you can’t directly confront a stronger enemy, you have to find some way to work around it, outsmart it. (And fortunately, this one was flawed, “insane,” as D
