Help me love Spaceships

I don't own Spaceship, so, even if I know GURPS for more than 20 years now, this question has to be considered as a newby's question...

Every answer above sounds to be fine for huge starships combat, like in Star Trek...

But what about very little Starships, like X-Wings, Tie-Fighters or the ones of Battle Star Galactica? With those ships, combat maneuvers are much more fast. In 20 seconds, such fighters can attack several different targets and dodge several ennemy blows, incoming from several directions... At least, they do it in the movies...

Finally what about a combat with those little ships and huge ones together (like the final battle against the second Black Star in Star Wars VI)?

Does the turn still lasts 20 seconds?
