Essential Answer: Game Limitations.
Detailed Answer:
If you don't research how many times this topic has been talked about, discussed, debated, argued, shouted at, scowled, denied, approved, THEN denied again, THEN approved before being clamored back to, then you'll need to learn how to use the "search", sorry.
If you don't see how exhausting it is that modders/balancers/encoders are constantly in the front lines trying to get through to the problems of justifying capships into the game, when it is evidently biased towards fighters due to evasion and aiming mechanics and ships, even capships, being run by SINGLE PLAYERS and not truly by multiple people that can man different positions on one ship (like how TRUE capships should be, where one can pilot cap and other could man guns, etc.), then you need to get immersed in the community more. Sorry.
If you don't see how stupid it is that when you alter one side to be nerfed/upped you DRASTICALLY ALTER the entire market for ships OVERNIGHT (ex: nerf bombers, increase capital ship usage, lessen usage of fighters because capships now have less check and balance; up bombers, decrease capital ship usage, LESSEN usage of ALMOST EVERY SHIP because bombers have powerful SNAC weapons that could down even heavy fighters with proper aiming skills), then there is no cure for you. Sorry.
So sorry... unless the community gets the source code from Microsoft, we can't do much more than balance the justification of capships over the edge of a knife.
Frankly, there's a big reason why the modern world's navies don't run on hulking battleships anymore. But I digress...
Personally, I'd want it that capships can only destroy other capships (and be run by multiple people), bombers can only destroy components of capship but not explode it (making capship disabled but not outright destroyed), bombers should be quick enough to dodge capship fire but have paper-thin armor to be downed by fighters VERY quickly.
