Well bigger is all ways better in naval world. So naturally it is in Avorion too. Because in space everyone is equally mobile and then it is better to bring more guns and shields then your opponent. IR Gunboat<Destroyer<Cruiser<Battleship, and same applies here. 1 on 1, if everything else is equal, bigger, just is better. If you do not believe this, find a small child and beat him/her and see how size matters. After all you both are humans, yet the bigger of you wins. What limits size is cost, in what ever form that cost comes. In Avorion that cost exist and if in PVP games you have limited resources you cant just build the biggest meanest ship, but at some point you must compromise as the bigger ship just outstrips your resources. So in 1 on 1 bigger is better, but navies are not made of lone ships, but are made of ships made for particular missions. Because in many naval missions having a small vessel is better, then just having the biggest ship. And unless you have unlimited resources you must make compromises over number of ships versus their power. Will you have few and powerful ships, many weak ships or a mixture of both. Fact still remains: bigger is more powerful, but more costly.
