<Snipped quote by WrongEndoftheRainbow>You can also scale back certain "problematic" elements or just play them low in the NRP.
I'd hate to see any player to leave.

Also to be honest destroying countries in casual warship salvos is pretty staple in space opera. So having huge ships is actually not a guaranteed bonus.
Just try to play them low when it'd dominate the plot or something. Fictional writers do that all the time.
