Capital ships or fighters?

[Phantom_pff]

I would keep a ratio maybe 1:2 cap ships to fighter squadrons.

[Dorkthehunter]

With the Imperials, you should have a higher ratio: like 5:1

[JediKnightNathan]

so doses that make you a rebel or an imperal.

 

for me it will be 2:5 for every 2 capital ships i will have 5 fighters

[The Relentless]

Don't you mean 5 squadrons Nathan? Five fighters for two capital ships sounds awfully low. My ratio would depend on how many fighters one capital ship can hold. In any case, I'll have a lot of them.

[Foshjedi2004]

I would have more likely a 1:5 ratio for my Fighters. I mean the rebels need loads of their superior fighters to ensure that they can defeat the enemy interdictor cruisers and Masses of TIE fighters.

I will be a Rebel with about 3:1 or 4:1. I was just helping my Imperial friends(not) out!

[JediKnightNathan]

my bad i did mean squadrons. i realy have to re-read my post some times.

[Swiftdraw]

Post preview is your friend!!!

[Garbageben]

I'd really like to have a 5 squadron to 1 capital ship ratio at least. Yeah I love starfighters even though I know capital ships are the real steak and potatoes.

[Deadeye31_pff]

to make a long story short, My capital ships will not go into the battle with anything less than a full compliment of fighters.

Rebels. any way i say 1:2 because I'm counting all capital ships. The MC-80, MkII, and Nebula B all can carry fighters, but the CR-90, Gunship, and merauder (no too sure about the merauder) can not carry Fighters, so in the end it would come out to a 1:2 or 2:5 ration.

[Megajames]

You need loads of fighters as they are a main counter attack against bombers, and the enemy will have lots of fighters and the best way to counter that is...fighters.

[Darkmark]

Actually the best counter to fighters is with the medium sized ships, the frigates and cruiser type ships.

 

Fighters can't be a counter to fighters. That makes no sense. Sure the fighter class might work well against the bombers, but while you take those on you've got their fighters punding you. Add a cruiser or corvette and they should be no problem.

 

It's all a matter of balance.

To answer your question about the Sun Crusher.

 

It is an experimental ship loaded with Nova-Buster Missiles, designed to cause a system's star to go supernova and incinerate everything. Also, the Sun Crusher is invulnerable due to its construction.

 

There was an excerpt of the Hydra, one of Daala's Imperial Star Destroyers (not a Deuce) being torn apart by the Sun Crusher by simply ramming clean through the Bridge. The Hydra then sank into the Maw.

[Gen.Vader]

wait, one thing i never understood about the sun crusher, how was it made invulnerable ????

[Stellar_Magic]

Layered molecular armor.

[Swiftdraw]

Which, with the torpedos, darn near made it more exspensive than a Executor class SSD if I recall right.

[JediKnightNathan]

and the only thing that killed it was the maw.

i love that place. i wonder if it made it to the other side. to another univers.
