Range should apply. I guess if the MC-80 is a little farther away, its out of range of some of the ISD's guns?

That's my guess. I tend to drive the ISD's up close and I've found that you need to before you get the full Impy goodness of 120 light TLs.

And when I play, I'm never in that knifefighting range (nor will I be, after hearing that...). Now it all makes sense!

Definitely take an ISD out for a spin and get it close though. TECTORs are worse!
Lotsa fun!

Its been a while (hopefully I'll start again after 1.1) but I certainly remember the Tectors, and their 8 octuple-canons of doom. The rocket launchers were sweet too. I might try as Rebels and see what other weapons suddenly turn on!

You really should try Lancer MkVI against frigates and cruisers. Their damage output is quite substantial.

Heh, part of me still wants a Bothan Assault Cruiser and the Ranger Class gunship.

Do we even know what a Ranger looks like?

I don't think there are any cannon pics for the ranger, at least not that I've heard of.

My favorite tactic is spamming tho. With the way the AI likes to drop tons of dreadnought classes (SSD's, Praetors, Bulwarks and the like), I usually end up not using 'em at all. My killer fleets are usually 25-50 skiprays and 25-50 gamma shuttles. As long as I keep an eye on the lancers and Dreadnought cruisers, I've got them whipped every time. Not to mention I very much appreciate not having to deal with the massive turbolaser complements of the Executor (when I play rebel, at least) .
