1 ISD, 2 Victory I and/or IIs with any of the 1s having upgraded engines, 1 Venator, 1 Interdictor if possible, mix of 2 to 4 Gladiators and/or Vindicators, 8 Carrack class light cruisers with the mixed load out of ion cannons and laser cannons instead of either or that for some reason is...

Honestly is it sort of bad I think they probably should do either a movie or better yet a show focused on the fleet/starfighter corps side of things for either the rebellion or the early new republic.

Alas probably need to use the essential guide to warfare and what the other books tell us about the main fleet when not focusing on the Rogues or Wraiths. Honestly they do as a whole show the NR fleet was gradually growing.

Of course as always books and sources are eternally contradicting each other. Because we also have stuff like MC90s, the MC80s still being around and still being fairly common and a lot of captured Imperial ships and new builds of the those types plus stuff like Bulkwark IIIs,or how numerous...

Honestly SSDs are a pretty good deal manpower wise compared to SDs in terms of what they bring to the battlefield. It's just that other than the Bellator and maybe the mediator they where very blunt tools

Never really got that bit though. The NR fleet was at its heart built and largely staffed by Planets in the outer and middle Rim. That alone would give said worlds a massive massive say in the political process.

Honestly the biggest sin of all of Disney has done to star wars is saying that inside of a year post Endor the empire was a utterly spent force. Like seriously it'd just too damm big for that to be the case even with a lot of wasteful infighting. I could maybe buy 5 years. But 1 is a greater...

blame the authors of that book, I tend to follow the Essential Guide to Warfare

Actually was referring to this ship https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Guardian_(Executor-class) which was captured in 16 ABY. And yeah the nebula class really ought to have been built in greater numbers but between several yards making MC90s and ISDs the need for large numbers of it the design...

Err didn't the NR have a sister to the Lusankya and wasn't she expended in said role after taking a stupid amount of damage. Also...points at the Mediator class battlecruiser and the Viscount class Star Defender programs which to be fair I will admit weren't really hadn't yet commissioned many...

And I still want a sequel to Empire at War. Petroglyph is willing to make one too

the whole Kylo Ren somehow cripples a 3km ship with only 2 supporting fighters once again confirmed to me that if I was in a navy in Star Wars I'd want to be on a Battlestar inspired design with its hard to hit hangars and command deck and robust AA. Sure the Raddus almost certainly was...

I did love the few stories where that very much wasn't the case or had a decent explanation why it didn't apply.

The fact that anyone was willing to make a stealth SSD is ridiculous. That thing must have cost a decent chunk of what the Death Star did

Especially if you use them on practically sized vessels for the stealth role ie nothing larger than a cruiser and typically just Corvettes. This is done to drive down costs and stretch the supply of your material. Plus stealth vessels would probably get exponentially more expensive the larger...

No its worse is a carrion bird

Mind you how blockading a planet is lawful unless it's the Federal Government doing so beats me

A grand total of six between the two classes as I recall where laid down with none of the 4 Sovereigns being actually completed

That's a earlier scene during the Falcon being en route to Alderaan

I will once again note that even when factoring main characters Stormtroopers have an insane accuracy rate by modern standards. You know the one where on average it takes the full ammo load of an infantry company on average to kill one person. Even factoring in main characters Stormtroopers hit...
