...Speaking of chaff, it was an intended mechanic and is not as unrealistic as you think.


The OP was specifically referring to using actual ships as chaff. Which I agree is rather unrealistic.

Then again, space military realism was not a primary goal of the game's design.

Does it really matter if they technically count as "separate ships" or not? Practically, they act like whipple shields or reactive armour.
