Combat in systems with sight obscuration

[Suicide Junkie]

Yes. Once combat occurs, all ships in the sector will join the battle.

Have I ever told you about the time I sent one Dreadnought in to finish off a minefield-damaged Phong DN?

Turns out there wasn't just one
In fact, once combat started, I discovered the horrible truth, and I had to face down 11 enemy dreads, only one of which had lost its stealth ability.

After much heroic struggle, and the disabling of most of the enemy force, my ship went and ran right out of supplies. Shields, engines, everything shut down, and the remaining Phong ships lay down the beatings from just out of weapons range.
Just as the Last piece of armor cracked from the High Energy Magnifier beams, turn 30 hit, and a pair of battlecruisers arrived to save the day; they drew off the enemy fire, and finished off the crippled enemy dreads.
