How did we get two sw vs st threads? I'm voting for
the feds: they've *got* to have far superior fire
control, if star wars fighter craft regularly beat up
on larger craft. Anyone play xvt? I'm not sure if
it's canon, but it sure isn't that hard to blow up a
star destroyer if you simply don't fly in a straight
line for too long. in star trek terms, everything in
star wars is manually targetted.
