I don't know if as smart as would be valuable against as low powered as. A computer would make decisions instantly, take much less resources, would die less easily, wouldn't get bored, wouldn't forget it's mission, would feel no sympathy, could travel farther, could stay in operation longer, could tactically self destruct without hesitation, would take no salary. But that being said, I honestly can't think of a reason to ever have a space battle. You either want to blow up a planet or not. If so, you do it from an large distance with a humongous rock. If not, you land on the planet, or fly around their atmosphere and kill them the old fashioned way. Maybe defensively you chase down an attacker to prevent future attacks? But then all you have is guided missiles and the speed of their ships. Not really a battle. What I guess I'm saying is I can't ever see there being an attack position other than lets wait until there are no rocks in-between us and them.
