Another interesting question on the topic of space fighting is, What will the ships look like? Before we can answer this we must define the most important characteristics of a space fleet. First, the ships must be able to attack the enemy and have some defense against retaliation. Second, they must be maneuverable enough to dodge enemy attacks. And third, they must be in space. In predict that most of the ships will have weapons facing in all directions because turning in space is to difficult to be practical and having guns in all directions will make this unnecessary. Making the ships maneuverable is much more difficult. In order to turn the ships would need to be almost spherical and have engines on the far away from the center of mass to produce the greatest torque. The ships will likely have engines pointed in many directions so that they can accelerate in any direction. The third aspect, that the ships must actually be in space seems obvious but is important to consider. Once a ship is in space it is relatively cheap and easy to send it off into space to do battle. However getting the ship into orbit requires tremendous amounts of energy and imposes severe weight restrictions. To deal with this we could construct a staging ground where the ships could be assembled, and/or mine nearby asteroids for the materials needed to build and construct the ships on the largest of asteroids.
