Hmm, perhaps the most important thing that the SE4 combat model lacks is "lucky" shots that rip through a ship causing a chain reaction of massive damage. Sort of a rare, but not impossible, equalizer for large ships that would otherwise be nearly impossible to destroy with a small ship.

On the other hand, a few small ships can whittle down a large ship given enough opprotunity -- I suppose it's just a model anyway.

[EDIT]
WTH? How did that quadruple post happen? Sorry guys.
