Combat thrusters iirc gets them down to starfighter size.  Best ships to dogfight in Saga are huge starfighters vs everything else. In all cases modifying your shops is great. Something like a tie interceptor with protons and shields will rip apart an x-wing in a dogfight.  Best freighter to use is the tie scout. It's gargantuan vs colossal with generous cargo hold. All transports you want to reduce cargo for more modification points. From memory a gargantuan ship reduces 2 tons while colossal is 5 tons. Shields are underpriced and easy to mod in.  Cheap capital ship is something like a bulk freighter modified into a light cruiser. Heavy shields, turbolasers, capital ship proton torpedos.  D6 it's all about maneuverability on your starfighters. On capitals ships having a fewer high damage weapons is better than lots of weaker ones. Eg 7D turbolasers vs 4D or 5D. This is because of how the hull+ shield system works.  In both systems cost plus crew requirements make strike cruisers and Victory ISDs best ships in game. 10 strike cruisers will eat an ISD for breakfast and require a fraction of the crew.</blockquote>
