But at the end of the day, which ship destroyed a death star, and in the right numbers can and in the right hands can take on Star Destroyers, even Super Stardestroyers, and look classy doing it? Got to be Incom's little number with the quad lasers, everytime! Go Rogues!

Yeah, I can't say since it's been years since I read that, but, personally, I don't like that it's now assumed that all 8000-meter SSDs are Executor-class (although I'm not sure if that's an official stance or just a biased interpritation of a quote on Wookieepedia). They just seem to get wasted over and over in, quite frankly, idiotic engagements in the canon (RA2, XvT, Darksaber). I mean, who the hell is Admiral Senn and why should he be commanding the largest ship in the Navy? I think game designers and authors just tend to throw them in for the "wow" factor of it. Read the Enemy Lines duology; they do the ship justice for once. Also, I would love to find out what happened to the Intimidator from the Black Fleet Crisis.In the book Solo Command, a Mon Cal cruiser had the Iron Fist (SSD) on the run. Which just doesn't make sense at all. O_o
I can tell you one thing though, if I ever end up adding some of these lesser-known SSDs to PR, fictional or not, they are going to be Superior-class and not Executor-class.

The ammount of SSDs appearing in books also surprised me.Yeah, I can't say since it's been years since I read that, but, personally, I don't like that it's now assumed that all 8000-meter SSDs are Executor-class (although I'm not sure if that's an official stance or just a biased interpritation of a quote on Wookieepedia).

I thought there were only a few ever made.

Regarding canon, I think for this game it should be followed as closely as possible without bogging players down into the tedium of it all. PR has done that from what I've seen. And the contradictions which appear in the books, movies and games he resolves with rather logical solutions which help me enjoy the game since I like immersion- that is all part of the fun.
And I don't mind if he contradicts canon even if he offers a more logical solution or perhaps a more plausible, alternative storyline than what might appear in a game or book.
I did that with the Thrawn hero upgrade I have in my mod, and I love it( I'm biased of course).

But, yeah, I figure after all this work, I'm entitled to retcon a few things into making more sense. It's all part of design work. And you're right, we won't get anywhere by having an arguement about the Executor's length. My measurements came out closer to 17600 meters, but oh well... that's close enough to 19000 for me.

They're fast, heavily armed, pretty darn tough, and when backed up by a bomber wing and a larger capital ship they just seem to become the fulcrum point in any battle I fight. Usually it's those ships more than any other that always seem to be the ones that decide the fate of the battle when the dust settles.

if you look for the command deck on the executer here you might not see it because its further up then the isds
also if you find it its about half the size.
interesting eh?
