Ok, i have been playing a game as the empire, hardest mod,e largest galaxy. I have been winning quite well this time around, but a few epionage missions told me the rebs were going for the killing blow and attacking curuscant with a rathar large fleet. Something like 50+ vessels. So, naturally, i pull in every ship i can to defend the emperor, and vader was commanding one fo the fleets i pulled in. When the rebs arrive, i realise that i am going to have one hell of a fight on my hands. Our fleets were pretty much dead even. How did this end? Ill tell you. I got beat by a correlian corvette. Thats right, a corvette. After around 30 minutes of fighting, the remaining 20 or so vessels in each fleet were crippled. A few had engines, but no one had guns. So, it all came down to who got guns first. A waiting game. Just my luck, a corvette i had targetted early on got its engines back, and manuvered towards my remaining SSD, with vader on it. Suddenly, it opened fire, and two shotted my SSD. Two shots, and it was done. Needless to say, i was astounded. I was then forced to watch as this corvette slowly targeted and destroyed my vessels, one by one. It was pathetic. Eventually i got a carrack back, but it wasnt enough. I managed to start blasting their weaker vessels and blowing them up though. End result, a single troop transport, a correlian gunship, and that blasted corvette were the only things left. And the gunship was still crippled. But on the plus side, the emperor was safe, and the reb fleet retreated once the gunship could run. Overall, imperial vistory.
