Ok I've had this idea for awhile and I've presented it before.

What if you could get a missions that would allow you to fly to a capital ship, say a Corellian Corvette (for rebels) and a small Star Destroyer (for imperials) when you arrive the Captain tells you that they are carrying something that the other side wants. The he tells you that it is upto your group to defend the ship because his crew has abandoned him when they found out what they were carrying. What they are carrying could be a new strain of a biological weapon or maybe the fact that Lord Vader himself may be interested in whatever it is....

But anyway. Your group would have to man the guns on this ship as fighters attack.It would basically be like a giantgroup ship where you can repair and man the guns but you do not pilot. It's a timed mission and the Capital ship moves to it's destination.

If you fail to kill the fighters fast enough your ship is boarded (ala the begining of a New Hope) and you lose.

Alternately you could allow your crew to fight back and/or escape by escape pods but the mission will be a failure.

don't think its actually possible for a small imperial star destroyer. only smallest one i know of is the victory class star destroyers which were slightly smaller than the standard star destroyers. i think it'd have to be something equal to the size of the corvette. maybe a dreadnaught or something along those lines. unfortunately its not anything i've seen yet. But the idea of a ship crew has always had potential. kinda a big size version of the pob ships.

If anyone has heard ofthem, there are Imp cruisers called Carrack Light Cruisers that I think are the same size or close to the corvette's.
