I'm sure you've passed this mission by now (or just stopped playing the
game), but what I usually do in these situations is stock up on missles and
just hit each enemy with as many missles as I can right off the bat. If I'm
lucky, I'll have taken care of 2 ships relatively quickly and it gives me
time and space to finish off the rest with the guns.

Good luck!
