You'll be able to see the heat bloom caused by the hot gasses escaping the enemy's ship as it accelerates and know that they're gunning for you.

At that point it's a matter of maneuvering randomly to dodge the kinetic kill munitions. Which certainly involves some luck.

I think direct kinetic weapons only work at long ranges against targets with static movement patterns - ones in regular orbits.

Spaceships can easily dodge projectiles coming from long range, as long as they're looking for trouble.

I think the better option would be some sort of missile bus that released this cluster/shotgun munition at close range in order to ensure a hit.
