well before you say physics first if physics were in play then big cruisers and frigates would be faster than fighters because in space nothing has mass and cruisers carriers destroyers and frigates have stronger engines than fighter and since size and aerodynamics do not matter due to no air or gravity so if weight does not matter than with a more powerful engine and thrusters big ships should move faster than small one’s this is probably a small oversight due to us usually being in a gravity and aired environment causing us to be used to big things go slow small goes fast but just well… state your opinion
There is still mass in space.

yeah but no weight so no mater how much mass it has in space it will still be weightless
even planes move slow before takeoff
So How do you stop this ship without smashing into something, imagine a capital ship moving at relativistic speed towards a planet, how do you stop it with hitting something,

Weight is completely irrelevant to the question. The larger ships have more mass, therefore more inertia, and therefore more resistance to changes in their states of motion.
Physics are always in play.
The reason is because its science fiction really that’s the only real reason why.
Because we couldn’t allow The Evil Empire’s capital ship to completely overrun Han Solo’s ship (It just ain’t right, man)
Sorry, fired up for new Star Wars

No, guys, it actually works this way IRL.
i agree
Science Fiction
Science Fiction
and what DeM said above.
The making of Starship Troopers gave a reason. To give the illusion of size and mass, and it just looks silly to have capital ships zipping around.
People really need to read the previous comments before posting. Like, seriously…

doesn’t inertia make it so if it suddenly stops moving it will still be moving so they have their thrusters lowered but that begs the question why not stabilizing thrusters on the front and in ce cortana was sort of complaining about the speed because “their ships have always been faster” and wouldn’t inertia still effect smaller ships all the same?
so yeah fiction so if i made my case then it is just unnecessary balancing it’s not like in halo 6 we will get to pilot infinity wait… 343 do this even if its just campaign also unless we will get frigates and other ships as buildable units in halo wars 2 wait…
