Absolutely impossible.
Rules of battle dictate that two enemy ships with the same ini and same weight will each have 50% chance to fire first. This is decided randomly and last the entire battle.
If both ships are the same then battle orders cannot affect who fire first because of tech advantage or because of "battle dancing". Thus, as soon as both ships will be in range at the end of a given turn, they will be randomly assigned their order for the whole battle.
Some details can weight the balance in a way or another so it is more likely for the lightest ship to fire first. But assuming that both ships are identical, the % chance is 50%.
