Comment Night's Dawn Trilogy (Score 1) 892
Has no one here read Peter F. Hamilton? Personally, the Night's Dawn Trilogy is a pretty good indicator of space combat. (Maybe minus the voidhawks.) Fusion powered nuclear missles with multiple warheads along with electronic warfare pods fired over a broad area to disrupt space as much as possible. Although a direct hit would be nice, it's virtually a total defensive fight. Each one trying not to get hit by flooding the area with junk to hide from the guidance systems. The combat would be over in minutes, it wouldn't be one prolonged battle.
(And I would REALLY love to have a Blackhawk, but that's just me.)
