Well, the Victory is TECHNICALLY a Star Destroyer, even though it is really, really, small.  It is a bit bigger than a standard cruiser, so it doesn't fit anywhere.  Although, the name "Victory Star Destroyer" kinda mandates it to be with the other Star Destroyers.

Yup - parallel parking a SSD is a real b!tc#

yeah, I can just imagine:

"That's no space station...that's a friggin HUGE construction hard!"

And though that would be pretty cool to have, I highly doubt that that would be possible at this current time.

As far as the Victory's standing as a capital ship because it's called a 'Star Destoyer', I would probably consider it a heavy escort cruiser. After all, that is what the Acclimator class was to the Venator, and as the Imperator class replaced the Venator class, so did the Victory class replace the Acclimator.

Thus, we are presented with 2 possibilities:

1. Start with post-clone wars, modified Venators and research the Imperator class 1, then 2, and finally unlock the Executor/Eclipse (maybe limit it to only being able to unlock one). The same would go with cruisers, though more would be unlocked at once. issue: the same thing would need to possibly done with fighters and frigates...possibly.

Do away with Venators and Acc.s and simply have the Victory class 1 and 2 take the Acc.s place ( only problem is, I think the Victory's class 1 and 2 actually look different, as the Victory class 2's in Battlefront 2 were the escort ships for the empire in space battles). issue: All that work on the Accs and Venators would thusly be rendered useless.

In both cases, a lot of work would need to be put in, and I'm trying to consider the work load already put on Eville.

I think that if a Super Star Destroyer is included in the mod, it would have to be the Executor. I mean, if the Eclipse is put in and stays true to canon, then it would be the most unfair ship in the game. Its superlaser can destroy a capital ship in one shot, and according to wookieepedia, can crack a planet's crust. One shot and *ZAP* there goes your level 10 capital ship. Another shot and *ZAP* there goes your colony. Plus, it has a planet's worth of weapontry. Just one would be able to wipe out any opposing fleet.

Plus, what could possibly counter it? Capital ships would get blasted to peices, and even a very large fleet of smaller ships wouldn't be able to dent it. I think that this fact will ultimately doom the Executor as well. It is just too powerful for anything the rebels have to counter it. I suppose that you could give the rebel A-Wings a special suicide abilitiy to take it down, but then rebel players would spam A-Wings to prepare for the arrival of the Executor, rendering it nearly worthless unless the opponent is unprepared.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see an SSD in the mod, but I just think that they would be completely unfair and no one would want to play as anyone but the Empire just because of how unstoppable it is.

I see your point.

Now that I think of it, the only way to have any fun with such ships would be to have it where, once sch a ships is built, the other players combine their fleets for one epically huge assault on it. The only way this would happen is in multiplayer and I doubt anyone would play along ith such an idea.

But at the same time, it could be included in the final version but bogged down by so much 'red tape' (resource requirements, research, fleet/capital ship cap) that it would, as Machina said, be nearly impossible to attain.

As far as the Eclipse's cannon goes, I'd say that it would be an ability that would take up ALL of the ships antimatter with one shot, leaving the player to use such a weapon strategically, rather than frivolously. As far as taking it down goes; a crap load of capital ships, a high amount of research in weaponry and defencive tech, and enough resources to pump out ships to replace the ones you use. The same restrictions on the Executor would be placed on the Eclipse.

To add to the restrictions, if there were a way to build only one of the two, that would make it even harder to become...well...god.

As cool as Wege is, I'm gonna have to doubt that.

First off, I can't really see a handfull of ships taking on the Executor and winning. Even if he meant a small force of marines boarding it and taking it out from the inside, The Executor had a freaking city on it for the crew. When I think of why a ship would need a city for its crew, I'm thinking the ship wasn't a one-man job.

Now, a small force o jedi...yeah, that's pretty believable.

Now, is that only against an Executor by itself? Or did he take into account any escorts it might have, which would be more realistic. Were it by itself then, yes, a group of MC cruisers and their escorts could take down. In a realistic scenario, there is no way anyone would be stupid enough to leave a ship THAT valuable alone. Ok, there may be a few people out there who would do that, but people like that are few and far between.

The New Republic had the Viscount and the Strident to counter the Executer and other Star Dreadnaughts

And what's wrong with that?

But yeah, adding the Viscount or Strident class Star Defenders (New Republic PR, can't say Star Destroyer because those are used by the Empire) would balance out the Executor SSD.  Of course, the problem still remains over balance.  Adding in a counter to the other side as an equivalent unit still doesn't make the problem of its overpowering strength go away.

Maybe not, but it will give you something to even the odds out. Simply building a Viscount to counter an Executor would not be enough: you'd also have to supply your Viscount with a sufficient escort in order to not only engage the Executor's back-up, but to supply the Viscount with additional firepower so as to take down the Executor with a combined effort: Viscount draws the Executor's main guns while your other ships take out the surrounding enemy ships. Also, with the Executor's main guns focused on the Viscount, the only guns left to fire on the escort ships would be weaker and fewer. At the same time, though, the Empire would be in the same boat. The problem is that this could turn such a battle into a stand off, wherein the big guys trade blows while both sides bring in more and more ships so as to keep their numbers up. I say this is a problem because not everyone would like to have a battle like that.

Can't wait to see this mod either.... mmm.. mods....

Iron Fist

Lusankya.

I didn't want to get too specific and start putting in the names (plus I didn't want to check how to spell Lusankya as I was being lazy )

Regardless of the size of the ships, the books DID show them being destroyed or suffering major damage!!!
