How come the emphasis on the cutters, and not the big ships?

You start out the game with a cutter... you're supposed to move on to bigger
ships later, but most of us didn't get that far in the game.

Correct. We were playing something more akin to the campaign game where
you start with a cutter and move up. In addition to the potential for
interesting play, this also had the advantage of giving the players a
less complicated ship to deal with initially. With the battle game, one
would distribute a bunch of ships, and unless there were enough big
ships for everyone, some people would be running several smaller ships.
Had we played the battle game, I think turns would have taken MUCH
longer, and the whole game would have needed to be more coordinated
(with the campaign game, people were able to move pretty independantly).
