Idk, personally I would be really bothered if they managed to convert to FTL when their entire home empire is having a hard time. Since they managed to convert their weapons in such a short time frame i'm assuming they have a genius level R&D on board, so maybe.
Even if they do it, it presents problems. You cant do long range calculations, the Kimdori have the sensors jammed, you'll run into a planet. Even then, meteors are already an established problem with ships this size, if you thought they were bad at 1/3 light speed, imagine at FTL.
But sure, they convert to FTL avoid planets and meteors, and do it. FTL isnt anything compared to the drive, the Kimdori pick up their movement and Jason mobilizes to put ANYTHING in front of their ships and they're dead. They wouldn't have the systems to predict this, the ships aren't native FTL.
Jason doesn't even have to reveal drives, he already established hes going over Lorna's head if they do anything but full surrender.
