I found some of the responses here a bit confusing, but that’s my own lack of experience, which I think is greater than yours.
However, are you doing this yourself, meaning with alts?
If I were doing it that way, meaning me and a number of copies of my self I would take out the ship giving boosts first (please yell at me is this is idiotic) and then warp out past Dscan range (if possible). Then come back for the other ships to a different spot.
The difference between alpha strikes and DPS has always confused me, but @Scoots_Choco might have just cleared that up. So I have another question, with an alpha strike, it’s only the first shot? If so are the next shots weaker? And if that’s the case, why, and does that make them DPS?
See? I’m friggin lost on this.
What you are doing sounds like a lot of fun to me, and while I don’t think I have the skills for the sort of range you are talking about, it’s a mater of time till I do.
I suspect though for me just getting ships like Tornados where I want them would be my biggest challenge.
