-quote- 2) The victory class star destroyers would do fine to be owned by hand full of players/NPC's because they are smaller and more manueverable (ppl are forgetting that theyare the smallest star destroyer)
-quote-
the smallest ISD is the Interdictor class. u know... the ones who prevent the reb-scum fleeing into hyperspace

I know that because i read eu books mostly x wing series ,Corran horns father inlaw had a vitory class white star destroyer. Isd kept people from jumping because of its gravity well that would be great strategey in a fightkeep people from jumping unles they are like 1000 away or something.

the devs should make gaint areas between planets just so we can have big battles (mon cal vs. star destory) then you can deploy sqadrons...the higher the tier the better the sqadron... it would be awesome if this winter the realse all this plus hoth so we can have the hoth battle on the first day...and they could make ships go into the sky not just space so we can have harder battles on the ground.... have to think about it more...instead of just aim at a target and shoot...if ya really need help just call a squad of y-wings or tie bombers to wipe them out..but then you would need more NPCs..no biggy....before the battle best guy can call as many as s/he can

oh ya to solve that big mystery of how to handle big ships..have NPC on all you can have options on what you want them to do...if you have a player or two to spare have them on turrets that kind of stuff

Werehere you might want to read those books again. Booster Terrik, Corran Horns father in law owns and operates the Errant Venture which used to be the Virulence(sp)which was and still is an Imperial-II class Star Destroyer or ImpStar Deuce. Identical in most respects to an standard Imperial Star Destroyer except it's weaponry was more geared towards anti-starfighter combat and has a bigger hanger for more fighters. He also painted it blood red, eventually, it took quite a while to do all that hull!!!

Ok two thing are bother me.
First there are people that solo the ISD everyday up in Space, or can solo the ISD.
I've actually heard that for Rebel Ace Pilots that destroying the Star Destroyer is easier then Corvette.
So uh what if I board the Ship start talking to Darth Vader, and BAM! The Ship gets blown up by somebody.
Also if a Rebel Corvette was flying in front of an ISD wouldn't they just shoot it down.
Another concern is what the inside will be like. I haven't been on the Corvette already in-game for awhile, but I hear there are some serious problems, like CL 192 SBDs and stuff. Granted I haven't been up there myself yet, just rumors and all but no one seems to care about the Corvette mission we already have, I just wonder.
In any case I expect once aboard the Corvette you'll be faced with a DWB like scenario. So you probably won't make it especially on your own. Are they going to allow groups to board one?
And if the Corvette becomes like the DWB, you probably won't see many Player Corvettes. Just like Mandolorian Armor. Also do the Devs plan to make Larger Ships better. Right now any fighter can blow up Multi Passenger Ship with ease. If we don't starting getting better Weapons and Sheilds, I'm afraid will just see Corvettes with 2500K Sheilds or something that any Fighter can blow up.
Just concerns here is all.
Oh and would Rebels have something similair?

I would think or hope that they create a new space zone to pick up the mission so that I (a rebel) can't destroy the SD while you are in it talking to Vader. I don't think they would let us kill Vader anyway

. If they leave it in deep space then we will see load camping start again as we did in Kessel when JTL went live.
On the SBD thing I wouldn't expect them to make the exact same spawns butI have been wrong before. BTW the vette SBD have been lowered now to level 86ish. At least on the rebel one I went on last night they were.
On the last thing, they will surely give rebels a similar mission from a space station or something to get an Imperial Corvette to take over.

Yeah but I reckon they should only be used like in Deep Space or Kessel, just mainly for PvP but then what could neutral class get for a Capital ship? A hutt cruiser?
