Did the liberty cruiser with the fixed cannon feel any good to use against larger ships? That I think is the compromise that would work well - something like a frigate with a ship-length fixed gun instead of torpedos or whatever and on which you operate turrets at the same time as maneuvering at okay speed. Equally so in Star Citizen with multicrew where you have one person responsible for piloting and the main gun and two or three more people operating turrets.
I'm actually probably due to play Freelancer again and should see if there's any mod striking that balance or if I could make it myself (I bought a Milkshape3D license back in the day to fuck about).
