Bypassing dialogue for hostile ship, skip the hail and fight

Hello,

I keep retrying to win a ship battle in the game by reloading a saved game, and each time I have to listen to the long dialogue.  I know what the alien is going to say, is there a shortcut way to skip to the ship battle right away ?  It takes a few minutes each time to go through the dialogue and it's pretty repetitive.  Instead of "Hail"  could we have "Hail"  and "Fight"  ?
