If there's ever space combat I think it's gonna look a lot like the Expanse. Whole buncha missiles and miniguns and boarding. Except the ships are still gonna look like the ISS or something I bet.

I would imagine space combat would mainly consist of a whole bunch of floating around and waiting and then a few tense seconds of battle during which everything gets destroyed ridiculously fast.

Not so sure a military ship would look like ISS though since it would probably also need some type of armour and isolation to survive smaller skirmishes. A bigger ship is also less likely to be set adrift when impacted, so while the other guy here who said fighters will need to be small and fast, that'd be offset by their ridiculous vulnerability.
