First off, when I went to B&D yesterday, and looked through the New Essential Guide to Vehicles, and Vessels, I learned a couple of things I didn't notice.

#1: Their listed length for the Executor SSD is 12,500 meters. I did a little research on this, and in terms of firepower, there are 120 weapons emplacements on an ISD. An Executor has 1,000. 1,000/120 = 8.3-. Or, round it down to 8. Now, multiply that number by 1600 meters, the length of an ISD. It equals: 12,800 meters. So, in terms of firepower, this is a pretty accurate number.

What is everyone's thought on this?

#2: Unlike what I previously thought, an MC-90 has 35 Ion Cannons, not 30.

It's got a hell of a lot of mistakes in it....take a look at the K-Wing...it's not supposed to have ANY laser weaponary....yet in that it has a Quad Laser Turret, and Twin Lasers....as well as the 18 hard points for missiles/bombs/whatever....ah well

Picture from the guide

Can't really be bothered pointing out more mistakes...though I also didn't like that they gave the fighters G stats instead of using Star Wars measurements....but oh well

Yes it is. The K-wing is supposed to have 6 Heavy Laser Cannons in addition to 18 hardpoints for weaponry. This pretty much fits with the descriptions in BFC.

I would reply but because of this thread I am going to commit suicide and I have to buy the rope from SuicideHelp.com.

Your figures are correct. The SSD is so armed as is the ISD - Mark I. The II and subsequent types are more heavily armed.

Well, what I'm saying is that the SSD's build time, from now on, should be 125 days, not 80 days.
