When you do that, you actually maximize shock effect, save time and save ammo - in other words you are more effective. Same thing here.

Use the transporters (instead of flying and having little conversations) to minimize time loss in retargeting and go for the targets in turn. You'd find that all the targets falling relatively easily in relatively short periods of time, leaving you the time and resources to go after the Cradle, perhaps the toughest target, in good time and nearly fresh. Any time and power loss will be greatly compensated by the fact you can have everyone on the job.
That said, we don't know how long it takes to rearm the transporters, or what's the effective range of those things...
