hem no. the plasma bolt from the kraken has an effective radius of about 1.5/2 km... the gaia on it's own, in the middle of the fleet, is already 3km long  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well, not really. I mean, you've seen how nicely the Flux engine handles stuff, and it's definitely better fitted than FS2 for a fleet scene.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I remember that from what they said about the kilrathi fleet destoyed by the kraken. I doubt it could be much more powerfull. anyway, the fleet you see here is some 70 km wide... the kraken anyway would be sent to hell way before it has the time to have a glimpse at the fleet  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) (how easy it was to destroy this thing in WCP. WCP capships are sitting ducks)
