    Of all the silly handwaving, Galaxy Quest got this one right. Two guys yelling at each other on viewscreens. Then one shoots something at the other and the only indication is the “radar” says something’s headed toward the ship. No sign of the other ships in an actual fight.

      Which is certainly how things would go in a real space battle. Everything would be beyond visual range, almost certainly you’d never see the enemy ship.
