[Star Wars] Why did the Death Star 2 not immediately fire on the Rebellion Flagship, the Home One?

In the Battle of Endor the Emperor decides to buy his time on using the Death Star before blowing up an MC80 Liberty class starship. He then uses it AGAIN to blow up another MC80 Liberty class. Lando didn't tell them to engage the ISD's at point-blank until after those two were destroyed. Why would it not fire on the Home One before then?

He was building up to it. Everything about the plan was designed to get Luke to turn. The battle, in his eyes, was never in doubt. He wanted despair and hopelessness to settle in before the actual devastation.
