If you want a fighter to have more power, equip it with nuclear missiles, a fighter an hold up to 2 missiles. Of course, the EMP from it would... wait.... does the EMP from a nuke work in space? Probably not. Never mind.

Nukes have even more EMP in space.

I thought the EMP worked when the energy from the blast knocked the electrons from some of the particles they came in contact with, messing up all electrical equipment. Okay, that's simplified; but you get the idea. How do you think it works?

Nukes release immense ammounts of electromagnetic rays while blowing up. Those can mess up your technological equipment.
Fun Fact: However, the EMP blast from a nuke is not so good against enemy shields, as most energy shields are designed to effectively stop any kind of unwanted em-waves.

Idea: boarding ships. When a ship's shields are down, small, tough ships can slam into the enemy ship. their own mass prevents air streaming, and it carries either a team of anti-personal units, or a single unit. swarms of them attack a ship, and an unprepared one will be very likely to fall into their enemies hands.
if this is feasible i shall begin work straightaway.

Pretty sure that was already discussed.
