Honestly, I don't think that hanger system would be all that workable, simply because there's no good way to recover the fighters. I also think that even with it being a bigger ship that they are overestimating the amount of space that's actually available there.
Presumably the plan would be to hyperdrive out of the area, and the slowly recover the fighters out of combat rather than trying to do so mid-fight.
EC Henry, the guy that modelled the ship, has actually done this stuff professionally (he's worked on STO designing a number of ships there) so I would assume that if he says "the fighter bay I modeled fits on the ship that I also modeled" then he is correct and the bay fits.
Yet you can see the 4 escape pods extending from where hangar is supposed to be in the video thumbnail.
Three new games in development by Electronic Art's Respawn Entertainment, the same guys who made Fallen Order and abandoned Titanfall.

I'm super excited about once against being able to pick up a lightsaber and run around doing absolutely nothing of any real consequence or significance in the setting, that'll be great.
More seriously, the RTS sounds neat, though I'm not sure why they're going with Firaxis vs, say, Petroglyph.

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
And I still want a sequel to Empire at War. Petroglyph is willing to make one too
Yeah RTS is a biiiiiiiiig category. But nothing that Firaxis is particularly known for since their biggest franchises are turn based 4x strategy Civilization games and the turn based tactical XCom games which, in all honestly, would sound amazing if done Star Wars style. But what do I know? 
They may be going for a Civ style Star Wars semi-turn based RTS, using the tile systems they have for Civ 6.

I think the bigger issue beyond twenty year old Versus Debates about yields is about how we're basically going to have two Mandalorian episodes in the first seven episode long Boba Fett series and how this latest episode was considered the best by many Star Wars fans and are genuinely looking forward to seeing the next Mandalorian focused episode.
I saw Eckharts Ladder, Thor Skywalker and Star Wars Theory in Reaction videos all praising this episode as what they wanted and how much they loved this episode and only one of them acknowledged that this is supposed to be about Boba Fett substantially (other two mentioned it in passing).
It's a pretty big deal if Boba Fett is playing second fiddle in a third of his own series to a completely different character, show and storyline and the show is so disappointing that the fans want more of it.

The writers don't have the stones to make Boba Fett act like Boba Fett, which is why the show is disappointing. It was a big bloody mistake to have Boba become a Crime Lord, when letting him get back to his bounty hunting ways not only is more in line with the character, but gives more opportunity to show the post war galaxy.
Also, have Timothy Zahn write the scripts. He's literally the only adult in the room when it comes to story telling (he avoid cringe Marvel humour, isn't a complete child like Filoni, and seems to be the only person that remembers stormtroopers are trained soldiers) at Lucas Film.
Filoni isnt wirting these. Its Favrou iirc

Hence why I referenced "Marvel humour." Still, a rather poor showing from the maker of Iron Man 2008.
Too much soy.
The ball (yes, this is not a mistake) on this man child has retracted into himself.
That's why BoBF is going to be a heap of nerfshit.

Yeah, this is really weird. I wonder if they actually planned to release Mando S03 earlier, concurrent with the Boba Fett series, but faced delays because of corona. That would explain why they just dumped Mando stuff into this series. "Shit, we've already plotted this out, but one of the series is delayed. How do we fix this?"
My favourite Boba Fett will always be the one from The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett. That's a 1996 short story by Daniel Keys Moran. It was written before the prequels, and gives him a way different backstory. It also makes him both ruthless and gives him a really strange code of ethics (imagine if Javert was a bounty hunter instead of a policeman).
Best of all, the story ends with Han Solo and Boba Fett facing off one last time, in 18 ABY. Han wants to just call it quits, but Fett insists they "let fly" and see who's the last one standing. And it ends there, without showing us the outcome.
The EU later brought Fett back, but for a while there, all we knew was that the chronological follow-up was Spectre of the Past. In which Han is very much alive. The implication being that Han straight-up killed Boba Fett in that duel.
