To clear up an earlier point, it was the blowing up off the ship in
RotJ which I found out of character; not Luke blowing up the Death Star bit.
The cruiser crashes in the Death Star after having lots of internal
explosions and going out of control (it was rammed by a figther).
Interestly enought (or maybe not), B5 suffers from a similar
problem. 90% of attacks on big ships result in the ship blowing
up - yet they still make big ships. Bit of a waste of time if
it's going to get blown up in round 1 (not including shadows and
vorlon - don't want to start that flame war again.) If you know you
our going to loss your platform in battle, you give it the minimum
resources (as we do now with destroyers which have very little on
them).
Another point made was that you take down one sheild genarator and
the ship is rendered defenseless. Why not paint a big bullseye on the
sheild generators? or even better have two? or lot's of dummy ones?
It was strange how the defenses can shoot at X-wings flying around trying
to avoid being shot, but not an uncontrolled object flying in a straigth line
towards the front of the cruiser?
