Well, this goes to a fundamental problem with space-fighters in SF,
doesn’t it? They are always lazily imagined to have the same
relationship in terms of speed and manoeuvrability to larger spaceships
that aircraft today do to ships on the ocean. Which makes no sense at
all.

Aircraft move in a different medium from marine ships, while
space-fighters would move in the same medium as other spacecraft.
Fighters *might* have an advantage in acceleration, but there is no
reason why they should have a higher maximum speed.
