Activate Auto Gen which will then turn on Min Gen with a Min Generator Limit based off the Tow Mass. Wait till the generators reach the targeted rate before flying off.

For large ships, it is recommended to turn on Min Gen to ramp up the generator before locking on and then activating Auto Gen once locked on to adjust the Min Generator Limit accordingly.
