It's not that easy, the Orion is a _FAST_ crusier after all. By the time the Lexx needs to power up its weapon the Orion has already sliped behind it and blasted it into the next week with its secondary weapons the Ligh Throwers. The Overkill, too, needs some time to power up. Not to mention that IIRC the Orion could outrace anything short of a fold-drive... gotta love those late 60s scifi series. ^^;
