Capships in WCII are a *joke* they are so pathetically easy to kill.

No, you cannot hit their turrets, except for the little corvette ships, 
and the transports, you are incapable of harming them in any way except 
via torpedos (well, this applies to depots, starbases, ralatha, and 
fralthra).

Just set up at 0 speed about 10,000 km away, get the torpedo lock, fly in 
at max speed, release torp at around 3,000 km (closer and you get hit by 
the torp explosion when it goes off, farther and the ship shoots it down).
Boom.
