54Same reason TIE Fighters and X-Wings bank. It looks cool, even though Space Does Not Work That Way– thedaianCommented Dec 1, 2011 at 3:35

5@jwenting "many experts hold that space fighters are the worst way to fight a war in space" - got any sources? I'm curious to learn more.– Chad LevyCommented Dec 1, 2011 at 9:21

6@jwenting - cite, or I'm making that a new question!! :) Seriously, this sounds SLIGHTLY suspicious - there are other advantages to small size (harder to hit, especially with energy weapons, better acceleration due to low mass, less of a resource loss when destroyed just off the top of my head).– DVK-on-Ahch-ToCommented Dec 1, 2011 at 10:30

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
