That one moment when you drop out of hyperspace into the Star Destroyer fleet (They were even the ones from the Thrawn trilogy!) still ranks as one of my greatest moments in gaming. Totally didn't see that coming the first time I played that mission.

The only thing that would have made it even more epic, is if one of the messages said: "Otana, this is Captain Pellaeon of the Imperial Star Destroyer Chimaera. You have entered a restricted area [...]" :D

Ah yes, that's a lovely moment. However, I can't shake the anti-immersion feeling of knowing those STD can't touch me when I'm in the Otana. Actually, I think it would be only a matter of time to kill them all by circling around them while having my infinite auto-cannon firing at them... The freighters are overpowered in this game.

ISDs were seriously flawed in the game, they were not equipped to deal with anything that the player could fly. A long time ago I made a comparison of all player controlled ships were I did several test runs with each ship. Two was fighting against waves of fighters (I believe it was Ties and something more beefier) and the last test was the time it took to take out a single ISD. I managed to destroy the ISD with every single craft, even the lonely T/F. You just needed to know how to take it on and be patient. Though I guess that is kind of in line with the imperial thinking (see the Death Stars weakness) Guess the ISDs had to rely on their fighter cover as well.

Yeah, and that is particularly evident when flying the family freighters. I think the ISDs are more lethal even on the game X-Wing.

To be fair, I don't think it's just limited to the ISDs. Every capital ship in XWA has that kind of problem. If you attack it from a certain angle, it just cannot hit you. In a way, it makes sense from the canon point of view. We know turbolasers are very poor at tracking fighters. Still, it's sometimes disappointing how easy it is take capital ships, especially ISDs, out. On top of my head, the only ships that frighten me would be Assault Transports, Assault Shuttles, Corellian Corvettes and Lancer Frigates.

But I would definitely agree with the notion that family freighters (the Otana in particular) are the most OP ships in the game. All you need to do is just run rings around ships and let your turrets deal with it.
