And the Gozanti transport is not really a combat vessel despite being grandiosely called a cruiser.  It's really a medium freighter and is a near-peer to the PC's modified Suwantek medium freighter.  It's also a terrible patrol craft, and less well armed than something like a YZ-775. Both ships have showed up a lot because Disney owns good 3D models of the ships that they can use in a variety of media by altering the skins and resolution. SAGA edition is probably doing better genre emulation by the sound of it, though I have to wonder how the Millenium Falcon was so capable of a craft under those rules. D6 has a number of issues with star ship combat that I'm solely working through as I get more experience with the system, one of them is that the range that is "star fighters" goes from like something like a TIE/Ln or Z-95 up to things that are almost capital ships with a length of around 95m.   But the range of available maneuverability doesn't really come close to handling that.   Another problem is that in the long run pilot skill so dominates maneuverability that a good pilot can make even a brick nimble.   Anyway, as usual with basically ever system I've ever run, I'm having to rewrite almost the whole thing - new stats for everything in the game, new game subsystems, etc.  Published game materials are really terrible quality overall. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f622.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cry:" title="Crying    :cry:"  data-smilie="15"data-shortname=":cry:" /></blockquote>
