[quote=@Sep] A) Yes true but the reason conflicting labels exist is it is not a real Star Destroyer it was an "Attack Cruiser" first. Because god bless the old Republic classifications. B) The Venator has very few Turbolasers with it's size due to the fact it was designed to carry a large complement, that was it's purpose. I mean it has a massive weakness in that a large portion of it is hollow. I'd say keep it at it's original complement at least and limit it to that if you have to but technically it could field MORE TIE fighters than the old ARCs/V-Wings it used to field. [/quote] A) We're using the Anaxes WC system as clearly stated in the OP (which was an institute in place even under the Old Republic). B) The Venator's armament allows it to lock horns with an Imperial I-class SD. There is no doubt it could take on a Victory I-class. Main battery wise, the Venator has 8 dual turbolaser, whereas the SD only has 6 but complemented by 2 large ion cannons. The smaller hardpoints taken into account, shows indeed a discrepancy. Something I consider normal, seeing as the Imperial SD-designs are more advanced than the Venator schematics. However, a Venator would be able to field over 400 starfighters which is entirely disproportionate in comparison with the 72 an Imp I could. Capping it at 96 or 108 means it has two/three more squadrons than an imperial star destroyer. In conclusion: Being able to field two squadrons more than the Imp I-class, and possessing the armament between a Victory I and Imp I-class, sounds sufficient to me. The ship is less advanced than either of those imperial designs, and keeping it at 400 starfighters seems unrealistic (paradox aside). The Venator was designed as a capital ship, with its main task being ship-to-ship combat. Its [i]secondary[/i] role was starfighter carrier, escort or troop transport. This is sufficiently illustrated by the 24-36 additional starfighters, meaning it has around 1.5 times an Imp I's complement. Another argument for the smaller amount of turrets is that a SD is almost 500 meters longer than the Venator. TL;DR - Venator starfighter complement is capped at 108. [quote=@Sep] The next ship produced =/= Successor. An Imperator Star Destroyer was designed for a completely different purpose. [/quote] Don't be overly semantic ;). While it perhaps wasn't the successor in the same line, the Imp Star Destroyers make up the core of the Imperial Starfleet whereas the Venators did that during the Clone Wars. The Venators were in fact being replaced by more modern Star Destroyer designs. As a capital ship and 'workhorse', the Imp SD's followed the Venators.
