Zipping around the battlefield has virtually no tactical advantage. Can you dodge phaser fire that travels at the speed of light, or photon torpedoes, which are faster than that?
I would argue that although the sub light maneuverability of federation starships is very high, the maneuverability of 24th century weapons is faster relative to those ships, than modern weapons are compared to modern vehicles.
Let's not waste energy moving that could be diverted to shields and phasers.
