because they didn't increase kill they just burned horribly and crippled people in ways that are just not settling thinking about.

But exploding people doesn't bother you..?

Yeah of course exploding people in RL bothers me because it's still terrible but at least when you explode you ain't hurting much and it's a LOT better then feeling parts of your body melting LITERALLY inch by inch ain't it? I'd rather not see anyone die of any kind of bullet though.

How to solve that? Computer controled constant correction...
Weapons however are tricky,

Sounds to me like a good excuse for fighter combat.

Good point about fighter combat

assuming they'd have weapons powerful enough to hurt a capital ship's shields/armor or whatever.

Hey Starhawk, remember my Deliverance class system defense fighter bases? The ability to launck two hundred, 40kt, corvette cals fighters in one combat turn is definently enough to hurt a capital ship, or two, or three.....

LOL yeah those uber fighter stations of yours

they'd probobly help destroy a few cappys thats for sure.

I designed a "carrier" flag monitor that can launch 58 75kt fighters at a time, and 5 of them are capable of destroying a Superdreadonught, and oh yeah the flag monitor carries 189 so that's 37.8 SDs dead if I could get all my gunships there unschathed
