So, it won't be like WW II air to sea combat neither, still, some players like to compare those seperate things. I think, that all what human pilot going to do is not take a choice: Engage, run away, ignore. All piloting stuff going to do millions of computers and actuators, and act much faster than any human's reaction.

Firstly, interaction with players doesn't always means a PvP combat. I could wait for a fellow player to make missions together, and earn some money, or we should create our own server for this?
However, my post was referenced to this one:

So basicly, you are saying same things. If caps interfered snub fight today, and pretty much screwed it, there is nothing holding those snoobs to log bombers and revenge. Both groupe of players have ships they want, and everybody is happy, regarding aspect of ship's choice.

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.
Im sorry, but Im kinda finding hard to understand what do you mean here.
Yes we can't put WW II combat into space, however, there are being numerouse references to WW II airplane vs sea ships combat, as explain, why Disco's caps should be weak. So where is the point then? Should space combat been related much to WW II or not?
