In short, there is absolutely no point flying anything bigger than a fighter or bomber if you don't want to get raped XD If you don't like dying to two small bombers, capital ships are simply not for you. Of course, a lot of it depends on skill and i've killed two attacking gunboats or two attacking bombers using my outcast destroyer before, but even though i'm good with that ship and those gunboats/bombers were of average skill, if those bombers had been elite pilots I would still have had no chance to win.
So yeah, would be nice to see capital ships actually worth something :/
