I don't see how this question is even debatable, because you're talking
about fictional technologies, most of which disobey all current known laws
of physics. You might be able to debate specific cases, but it's still
extremely difficult to do so, given that most series define their own
technologies.

Ah, Cain and the Battlestar Pegasus. If I recall correctly, that was a last
ditch effort by Cain to allow the rest of the fleet to escape. Not exactly
common operating procedure for a Battlestar to engage a Baseship directly.
Sort of like how modern day aircraft carriers don't duke it out with
battleships. :^)
