[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartmaniac: [QB] "Why does the Empire design all it's huge ships and stations to be vulnerable to small bands of relativly shortly armed fighters?" Well, remember that the SSD had taken a pounding from the entire Rebel fleet before it was struck by Red Squad's resident kamikaze pilot, so its shields were already softened up considerably - at least enough to be easily penetrated by a lone out-of-control fighter, which (conveniently) rammed the bridge and did the ship in. You could also make a case for the Mk I Death Star: it was designed to counter large, sluggish capital ships with its innumerable surface defenses, not a handful of nimble fighter craft (the rationale being that NO military strategist in his right mind would EVER send in three fighter squadrons against a mobile, MOON-SIZED battlefortress) that could exploit its one weakness - which wouldn't be public knowledge if those stupid droids hadn't gotten away.
