Title says it. There are 10s of capitol ships flying in DS, why ISD is not being attacked by 5 rebel corvettes that are 4km away from it ? It would totally enchance the DS expirience if there would be some sort of big battle going on, corvettes battle the ISD while X-wings/TIEs have thier own dogfights. This is what space needs to get more people to participate in space PvP and go to space for fun.

It would be cool to see both capital ships sending their 'fleets' towards each other. It would be good if the fleets both kept fighting and reached a kind of stalemate, and only player intervention by helping destroy the front lines/destroy the capital ship would make one side win. They could then put in some kind of reward for 'controlling' Deep Space,

I actually saw a Corvette get too close to the ISD once, and they had a nice little gun battle. Was interesting.

Actually The reb vettes, as well as the other spawns, will attack the ISD. It is just that everything in DS flies on a preset track and can only engage what comes within range of it guns.
In fact the best way to take out the ISD is to wait for a few reb spawns of any type to strip off a few guns.
Ahmen, to that. I've said it from the very beginning that DS could have been done a wee bit different. The Nebulan B frigate (The medical frigate in RotJ) has already been rendered and you can see it in Endor space I belive, just off the space station. Drop 1-3 of them where that ugly space station used to be, then stick however may guns on them as to make them a challenge even to the ISD. Most importantly, have both Imp and Reb vettes jump in a duke it out in the space between the Nebulons and the ISD. That would address the fact that while imps have hot and cold running vettes in DS to shoot at, I have to make due with waiting from 1-2 hours for them to spawn in Kessel, were there is hardly any PvP and all damage is perminate.

I saw this happen yesterday. a corvette was slowly blasting off the 20 odd turrets on the right edge of the star destroyer, including the 4 heavy ion cannons on the sides of the main "tower". After the corvette moved off, i called in a bomberstrike to finish it off. The might of the Empire is unstoppable!

Concur.
Would add a lot to deep space if all those rebel cap ships actually worked together with the gunboats and went after teh ISD every hour or so. And mabye all the gunboats for the empire could do the same against the rebel station.
