Everyone knows the imps fight corvettes and the rebels attack SD's but what capital ships do neutrals attack if any?

I like it a lot. We need someway to get more capital ships involved in the game. Also there needs to be a greater sense of a large scale war going on as opposed to just minor skirmishes between light fighters.

I hope eventually they will have a larger role in jtl.
Maybe a poi battle, 2-3 star destroyers vs a few various rebel ships, many imperial and rebel npc fighters would surround the capitol ships and battle each other. It would be a nice poi.

they will add more capital ships eventually like the Super Star Destroyer and the mon Calamari cruiser, but that will be in the next expansion probably.

the super star destroyer is pretty big, not that big tho. the mon cal cruisers are like the size of a stardestroyer

The only reason there is a SD in deep space because it has enough room and the only other things in it is ships and 1 space station, they take up a lot of space and can make a lot of lag if put in a normal zone. think the best we will get is the surface of the SSD (and maybe even the death star) and you just fly around that blowing stuff up which would still be fun.

[ so what everyone is basically answering is , no this game will suck it up with little fighters until SOE spends some more of our money trying to improve this game so you actually have an "exciting" game. for those who dont understand the word exciting, please feel free to play any other video game but this one.

If vader chokeholds the devs they won't be able to do the fix and they don't get let go of till its done so they don't let free and then they die and no fix whatsoever.

I agree with the above, don't make the star destroyer itself harder, give it some fighter support instead. It would look more realistic that way. More like the movies if you want.

i just blew it for my third time, it was me and a wingman, lots of fun.
basicly the way i see it, there should be a SWARM of ties coming at you.
the ISD is like a carrier battle group. take away the fighter wing and the escort cruisers and while it has some point defences, a lone mig agianst a nimitz class carrier could break through and slam it with a missle. now add 80+ carrier aircraft and a few AEGIS equiped CGN and DDGs and thats a whole different ball game.
that is where the whole PVP zone thing is supposed to come into play. i hope that once they take the decay away from deep space people will start going there more and we can have a war.
