"Now, the tentacles on the Pool Ship are a quarter mile, so there's our scale. Dome Ships are between 1/3 of a mile and 1/2 mile across. So a Blade Ship making a difference in that fight is like half a David versus two Goliaths to me. I don't know that I buy it."
I have to disagree here. The Blade ship may be smaller, but it'd be far more maneuverable than the Dome Ship and much more heavily armed than the fighters and the Pool Ship, and Ax points out in the prologue of The Alien that it could easily evade Dome Ship armaments. So a Blade Ship would make a huge difference in a battle like this.
