Personally I tend towards a stealthy control ship with remotely-controlled
or semi-intelligent drones to do the fighting. As someone else said, the
big problem in space battles will be finding the target, and any action you
take is likely to give away your position. Better to send out a few drones
with active sensors followed by more with passive sensors and large warheads
to kill any targets they spot.
