Combat in space

In the various stories set in Bill's Universe some facts about combat in space are revealed.
From Tall Tales in Space:
Armed forces personnel are rarely captured. Usually when a ship is hit, its destruction was pretty quick.
Terran spacecraft, when far out and working alone are not fitted with survival pods.
From Drummond the Intergalactic Robotic Manservant:
Warships 'duel' in space, as quoted by William McGonagall, but it is possible for a small fast ship to avoid a battle.
The trip into space was equally terrifying, but as the warships duelled all around us Wittershall skilfully weaved around them, out of the atmosphere and into the system. It was all over mercifully quickly.
Cremator fleets may be scared off by holo projections created by Illusians, as happened during the Cremator Invasion of Trefflemore.
