Yes.

At any game I run, be it wargaming or roleplaying, I
have absolutely NO patience with kibbitzers who want
to interject their two bits worth.  Newbies who want
to watch and ask questions, I can deal with.  Assholes
get politely invited to piss off.

Depends on what you're running.  My heavy battle
squadrons have nothing lighter than an escort cruiser.
 On the other hand, I run (and have had much fun with)
destroyer squadrons with nothing heavier than mass 44.
 Much of this is scenario dependant.  While I can and
have taken down capital ships with smaller ships, it
is much easier, especially for newbies, to use larger
vessels.
