550 Faction, a nice 10% bonus (CoA FTW!), between 14-20k credits, and 10k Prestige.
Typically soloable in 1-3 minutes.

I'm sorry... did you say "Soloable in 1-3 minutes"?
That is... retarded. Why even bother?

The big boys in DS can be fun, but hardley worth the time. Fighters always seem to give me the best rewards.

I'll tell you what is retarded.
The fact that there is also only 1 Star Destroyer in the entire realm of JTL. After all, 1 ISD makes up the entire Imperial Navy, right?
A massive warship like that and a Mon Calamari Cruiser shouldn't be soloable. It should be death.
well, if your computer isnt good with coping with alot of lag at once, then it acually is death

On a diffrent note... any capitol ship is vunerable to figters/bombers without it's escort.
I think of it like this:
Fighters kill capitol ships.
Gunboats kill fighters.
Capitol ships kill gunboats.
So an ISD would be trivial to a fighter if it was stuck out all by it's lonesome... but that should never be the case.
Bigger guns on a bigger ship does not always insure victory... look at the first death star.

Reasons to bother:
1) As a courtesy to fellow Deep Space fliers to eliminate painful lag. Even Imperial pilots will sometimes stand down to let a Rebel waste the thing just to reclaim some FPS. When that thing goes off, your FPS on anything less than a bleeding edge computer will drop to about 3 FPS.
2) Money. Most gained for the time invested.
3) Faction points. Same here, unless there happen to be a lot of VT-49s or YKL-37Rs.
4) Boredom. When popping TIE fighters gets old, and believe me, it WILL get old, while you wait for someone to show up to PvP with.

Wish to hell they'd give the Rebels something like the Corvettes to shoot at.

I have to disagree, A well organied squadron of fighters might (big might) be able to down an ISD but one by it's self would be suicide.

Not if ur a kamikazie and fly into the control center. Or you can have two or three camikazi jsut load em with lots of ordanance and fly into vulnerable places on the ship. And you die knowing that you can scream really loud.

If starfighters were that powerful in the Star Wars universe that a single kamikaze starfighter > any warship, why are there warships?
Why would the Empire need warships?
The Old Republic?
The Rebel Alliance?
Why have anything larger than a B-Wing type of starcraft?
The Alliance was d**n lucky at Endor. Just with the Executor alone. The entire Alliance starfleet, at the command of Adm.Ackbar, had to focus their combined firepower to bring the shields of a single warship down. The Executor had problems. The shields collapsed and Capt.Piett wanted an increase of power to the gunners near and forward of the command tower. But right when the shields went down, there was conveniently already a Rebel pilot spiraling out of control due to combat damage, screaming for his very life knowing he was about to die.
