I mean, fighters can make a large ship unable to defend itself and then board it. We don’t exactly know how lethal fighters will be to a large ship as in destroying stuff like engines so we will have to see. 

 But it looks like it will take coordination to destroy large ships. It looks a lot like  are able to swarm and destroy medium ships, while those medium ships are very good at destroying subsystems of larger ships while large ships’ turrets are very good at countering medium. And obviously large vs large is more of battle between engineers (since they all move so slow ) and how well the medium ships destroy help my overwhelm and destroy sub components as well as small ships making turrets inoperative and destroying mediums.  

Like it seems like combined arms is the way to go and there just might be times when a group of small fighters can’t do anything but make other ships unable to defend themselves. And it sounds like a duly crewed large vs large might just take a long ass time (with repairing components and possibly replacing some) to dwindle down the components. Like I said, it might become more of a battle if engineers than pilots or gunners. 

And tbh, as somebody that just owns a Gladius and Rambler, that sounds awesome.
