Eggshells with hammers indeed. Shoot first and hope your gunners get lucky. The whole "navy ships updated to space" paradigm is probably not valid (at least for fleet v, fleet).

Which 'navy ships'? Because that's not a terribly unlikely outcome for two reasonably matched modern fleets of missile ships.

They aren't targeted at a wide range of Earth targets either. They are concentrated on the Gibraltars with 100 kamikaze ASTA launch 3 submunitions each and at 70 mps only one needs to get through for not jsut akill but over-kill. The Gibraltar has nothing like the required amount of PD and what's left of GLUEFleet is probably very busy protecting the orbital infrastructure from the debris.

Which suggests that big ships are a bad idea with that tech - too big a basket.
