I have a suggestion on how to make tractor beams more realistic than the current model.
Instead of using an ability, they would function much like ion cannons, launching projectiles that disable the target's engines for a period of time, and fire fast enough that the engines are constantly disabled, or nearly so. Multiple projectors would reduce the time gap, stopping the target, and targeting or effect could be restricted to units smaller than the launching ship. I'm not sure it'll work, but when a Venator was able to keep moving under an Mc120s tractor, it annoyed me enough to think of this.

Whenever I attack a starbase, particularly a level 1 one with fighters and bombers, and I zoom in, I see most of the torpedoes missing. They seem to miss the bottom bone, but before they can turn around to attack again, they run out of fuel.

It's bothered me that Dreadnaughts skip straight from 3500m to 15000m. It's like going straight from a destroyer escort to a battleship in terms of size, or even farther. Also, the prevalence of 5-mile SSDs is confusing, even in recent works. To resolve this, I propose the addition of the Super-class Star Destroyer. This class would include most of the 15 or so known Executors, and would use the original WEG stats.

The 19-kilometer Executor was said (by Mara Jade, I believe) to have almost bankrupted the Empire, and having 15 would be incredibly expensive. While that was actually two ships, they were still very costly.
Retconned Background:
The Super-class Star Destroyers were commissioned shortly before the battle of Yavin. Originally, the Exector was to have been one, along with the Lusankya. However, it was decided to build both ships to a much larger design.
Most of the other ships that are currently Executors are actually supers. Of the ships listed as Exectors (http://starwars.wiki...tar_Dreadnought), the Aggressor, Annihilator, the Intimdator, the Iron Fist, the Knight Hammer, the Razor's Kiss, the Terror, and the Vengance are all likely Supers. The Guardian and Reaper are uncertain. There is support for this view, in the form of the Megador from Invincible. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Megador
Also, to farther bridge the gap, it might be possible to introduce the 12.8 km super-class.
