I had done a conquest match as the Rebels and the majority of my fleets consisted of Assault frigates, Corillian Corvettes, Marauder missile cruisers and fighters. Truthfully, I find the Imperial Star Destroyers to be quite weak.

The Victory Star Destroyers can handle the missile firing ships, if need be. And 1-2 Tartan Cruisers near the ISD will eliminate the Y-wings from being a problem. Only Y-wings, and anything shooting missiles, are a threat to an ISD. Take out the ion cannons, and they can't easily bring your shields down.) Well, to handle the Rebels as the Empire: Tartan Cruisers will decimate their fighters fast (1 or 2 are enough to wipe them all out) Acclimators can handle Corellian Corvettes Victory Star Destroyers definitely can take the Corvettes out (and 2 of them can handle a Nebulon-B Frigate without issues).Īnd 1 Imperial Star Destroyer will handle just about everything the Rebels can throw at you (aside from Mon Calamari Star Cruisers, which you want to concentrate your fleet on. And that the Mon Calamari Star Cruisers don't have shield generator hard points (aside from Admiral Ackbar's).

I suppose the Rebels do get an advantage in that some of their ships can strengthen their shields. Really? I've always felt the Empire was stronger, as they get the fancier toys (and the AT-ATs and the Death Star).
