Nope, sorry! Objects without a health bar underneath them when selected can't be destroyed. You might as well try to destroy a station - it'd have the same effect of bringing the House Police down onto you pretty quickly. The only battleships you can destroy are those in SP - but even then it's damn difficult! It'd be nice to encounter destructable capitol ships outside SP though - even if they were only corvette class it'd look good. Corsair cruisers or destroyers, anyone?
