Making the wrong impression on new players

[Occam Razor]

It's indeed very logical to judge things wich "could" occure approximely after 1000 years from current date, and basing our judgment on historical things, which have occured around 70 years ago in past.

We indeed have to base it on something, since we have only a few ideas how "real" space combat is gonna look like. And that's not how it looks in sci-fi games and movies.

Same could be told in oposite way. I like capital ships, and why my fun should be ruined, because someone thinks, that capships are cancer of disco? If Im doing missions with my battleship, and not harming anyone, why then 4 players can log bombers and just blow my ship up, right in the end of a mission? Why their fun should ruin mine?

If you don't want interaction with other players you should play Singleplayer. Of course sometimes one group has fun and another hasn't, but later maybe you have fun while someone else does not? That's just how it works.

The key word is Idea. We have a fleet of "things". Smaller will be called fighters, larger will be corvetes, even larger frigates and so on. They might even have nearly same role: Fighters will be pewing each others and larger, corvets will do same, frigates will do same.

But how they will do it- it's completely different story, don't you think?

It's still the idea from where the military sci-fi was taken from.

Let's say, that in space, both battleship and fighter will be in much same situation, not like floating in sea battleship and plane in the air.
Both will be affected by same laws and factors.

While that is true it does not really influence how the combat works. It simply does not matter, you cannot fully take the Pacific War model and take it to space without changing anything, bringing Capital Ships to the third dimension is a logical adaption, which does not influence the combat.
