Yeah, It's not like I just showed up and had a little go at it, I grinded this thing for 90 mins, I too was expecting it to jump away, or at least something. Ticketed it anyways.
REALLY? the cap ships can't be killed?!

Capital ships aren't meant to be killable at the time, they are platforms for fighter squadrons. You could argue that fighters are like mosquitoes to them and would cause very little damage. They just leave because they are out of fighters to launch.
I think an expansion featuring player controlled capital ships are planned in the future, it would take another capital ship to destroy one. This was also shown in one of the very early ED video clips:

The issue isn't being able to kill them as they aren't designed to be destroyable at the moment, the issue here is if someone has the energy (and time) to gets its health down it should probably jump out at 25% rather than sit about at 0% invincible.
Just an oversight nothing more.

That analogy does not make sense given this situation.
The cap ship entity was made and appears to be relate-able to other ships, except is doesn't move... It has hull points, weapons, modules... What is the point of all those things if they can be targeted and damaged (seemingly) if you in fact cannot interact with them at all?
This is missing content, give FD time to figure out the mechanics/what they want to do with these events to make them matter.
hey! i am just the messenger. why the hell are you giving me bad rep for?!
Does the destroyers health go down?
Does the 50k just show up in your balance? I've destroyed all it's sinks a few times now, I didn't see any sort of messages about getting paid...
Well that's more interesting than the Op at least. Now where can I go about finding these cap ships anyways? 
Come on, use your imagination! Just close your eyes and imagine how cool it would have been to see the thing exploding and how they would have sang your praises and giving you the tidings of the gods. Bask in that vision. Because without a roleplaying imagination of fun and enjoyment, this is the wrong game for you. Try Star Citizen
Honestly that makes a lot more sense. Those things are freaking huge; I guess a good analogy would be trying to move a mountain by squirting it with a garden hose. Did I say good analogy? My bad, i meant weird.
I came across the FNS Medusa at Kappa Fornacis.
Not only did she have numerous escorts, but her batteries could target me at over 5km, to my 3 km range.
I got away with 33% hull thanks to it being a Military composite, my thrusters were under 20% and my power plant was at 5% ?!?
They seem to have a bit bigger teeth now.

Since only a few days ago? Wow, they sure jump on things.
Really?
Did anyone here really think for a moment that we, the players, could totally destroy unique trillion credit vessels in a universe that has a grand total of less then 40 of said vessels scattered over several thousand systems, and that's high balling the estimate.
Why have bosses that run away to be fought again later on in the story.
The ships being indestructible does not prevent the player from attempting to disable said ship.
Christ its like pulling teeth. Whats next, are we going to get upset that the game has to be played to progress?
