The most awful military space battle tactic ever was running away from the Death Star when they realised it was operational. It has
one big weapon, and it's fixed, so it must have a very narrow firing window. Why not scatter the fleet around the Death Star and keep out of the way of its weapon? Surely the rebel ships can move faster than the Death Star can rotate? At the same time, they could then use the bulk of the Death Star to shield them from the Star Destroyers for a time.
