Well, what about strategy? A smaller force can destroy a larger one with much better planning and tactics. If a small group of very fast, lightly armored ships used FTL to appear very close to a large capital ship fleet, they could fly through the formation and do nothing but dish out damage, while the enemies may scramble and end up shooting themselves, or even accidentally ramming each other.

They might perform hit and runs too, which is difficult if combat is just going to be a throw all your junk at each other. They could also try to sabotage etc, though I assume all this would fall under rp'ed fights. I think his calculation method is for battle battles, like big fleet battles with ships of the line and all xD
