Large fictional capital military spacecraft (frequently called ''space battleships'', ''space cruisers'') are spacefaring warships most often found in science fiction, which play similar roles to contemporary warships, though real spacecraft are used for military purposes.〔 〕 They may fight slow-paced battles across vast distances with long range guided weapons, never attaining visual contact, or fast-paced, relatively close range combat with unguided weapons and combat maneuvering. Smaller "space fighters" are fictional spacecraft analogous to fighter aircraft. Space fighters are popular as the subjects of flight simulator-like space combat video games, such as the "Wing Commander", "Freespace" and "X-Wing" series. For examples, see this list of space fighters. ==Parallels to historic battleships== In addition to various military science fiction-typical parallels derived from historic and existing naval customs and technologies (see Space navy), fictional space battleships also often have some specific sea warfare battleship parallels, especially to those used in World War I and World War II: * Use of main guns (instead of more dispersed armaments) and intricate tactics to bring about large amounts of destruction * * In the case of the Japanese animated series ''Space Battleship Yamato'' (aka ''Star Blazers''), not only is the old seaborne battleship used to hide a similar space warcraft, but the follow-on Earth battleships share naval architecture such as main, secondary and light gun turrets, superstructure, etc. * * An opposing emergent tendency is to mount extremely heavy forward-firing weaponry that is aimed by maneuvering the entire ship. * Being ponderous and slow (or at least slow to accelerate), creating the need for space fighters. * Compensating speed and size with tremendous resilience, surviving multiple nuclear weapons strikes, in some cases (see Battlestar ''Galactica'' as an example). * Having hundreds or even thousands of crew members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Military spacecraft in fiction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
