I do believe that was my point.

It would be pretty suicidal if you think about it.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Now take away atmosphere and like I said have a rough mass-to-thrust ratio high enough on your capital ships and they can be just as fast and just as "maneuverable" as a fighter...

Physics would disagree. Torque and inertia work against the huge ship from being as manueverable as a small ship like a "fighter." Now, if you make your ships all be spheres you might be able to pull it off...
