im glad i copied and pasted this, saved me alot of typing i just posted this in 002 *by accident* well anyways, all of you covered its down sides pretty well, one thing i do want to mention though. how is it a Tie fighter can last so long vs a mon calamari cruiser laser cannons, the tie's should be really weak, seeing as they have no shields -.- watch the e3 video and you will see what i mean, the tie bomber+tie figher+ISD vs the lone mon cal.
