I think realism is served by keeping it the way it is. I presume that
attacks against a space ship occur from incredible distances. A
preindustrial military model is completely inappropriate - as if an
intercepting fighter in our day and age would physically grapple a
C-130!

In fact, in view of the situation, the overall strategy of  "clearing
the skies" before moving transports in is probably a good one.
