This is no where stated, all that is stated is that in made them more effective, not viable.

Obviously if missile explodes in your face and drops drill droids onto your ship you are in trouble.

Lets not make silly assumptions with no basis like "they'll fall off because YOLO"

See, this is why I don't like this renumbering thing. Your fleets are basically at full strength. The Black Sun Navy, at its height? At least 7,000 ships. Both of your smaller fleets get full strength and mine gets nerfed into oblivion.

But let's be real here.

AE fleet
1% Flagship
15% Capital ships
30% Frigate ships
54% Support ships

So that means
1 Executor
8 Star Destroyers
15 Victory-class
27 Tartan Patrol craft

Not as all-mighty and powerful as you seem to think.

What are you more afraid of?
A weapon that could destroy you?
Or a weapon that could turn you into a monster?

I think the argument was made before though that the TIE fighters have a slim profile and therefore would be difficult to latch on to. But really if a buzz droid lands on the cockpit the pilot is pretty much screwed. Just drill.

But really the Imperial fleets used TIE-fighters far less decisively than the Republic. They were more fodder than anything else, the emphasis was placed on the capital ships to win the battles.

Maybe, maybe not. Anakin had to properly fight his way to the shield generator on Geonosis, the cities of Kamino are already small arenas so no back doors and unguarded territory etc. there, and Nar Shaddaa - well good luck finding the shield generators lol. Not that Mothma would ever orbitally bombard a planet wide city.

Or Kamino for that matter. Maybe Geonosis. But even the Republic planted munitions. BSD tactics are brutal, they don't just destroy the target, they reduce the area surrounding it to molten slag. Not pretty.
Easier to bypass as in a lot more ways to infiltrate it, only way to get through a planetary shield is to charge right through.

Nar Shadaa is useless to attack unless G0-T0 is there, it's really not that useful of a planet.

Kamino I guess, but those platforms are again small, meaning droids that rely to be En masse need Terror droids to even have a chance against the 212th.

But yeh, the Republic destroyed Geonosis, they tried to destroy everything, Planting munitions and BDZ wouldn't be THAT different...

I Lol'd.

That executor alone could take about half your fleet down

No but seriously, that executor is worth like 30 ISD's, it's a monstrosity.

Sorry, I messed up on the math and made the Tartan 44% instead of 54%. Fixed it.

Given that we basically know what the make up of his fleets are, I suggest you look them up. There are no Tartan Patrol Cruisers for one and ultimately these statistics are arbitrary.

Pretty much this, again, Tarkin decided that having Big ships scares people, so thats what they should have.

And that pretty much happened because it ended up being tactically sound.

So wait, are we using real, unnerfed numbers for the AE? This just keeps getting better and better.

I get 200 out of 7,000 ships, nobody cares about the Venators or the MC80s, and the Black Sun Fleet is reduced to only Interceptor-class frigates due to in-game mechanics.

But let's give the AE fleets 40 Star Destroyers and 10 frigates. Oh, and a virtual superweapon.

I was actually being generous. Thrawn's fleet has no Victory-class Star Destroyers. And it's "picket ships" are pathetic.

I think I'm going to go back into spectator mode and watch the DS get crushed in space due to nerfs and technicalities of rules that are completely subjective.
