Next Bounty Hunter Ship: Punishing One

I'm not against it, but my Star Wars Nerd status compels me to point out that a Corvette is like, 1/16th the size of an Imperial Star Destroyer or Mon Cal cruiser and doesn't carry any fighters, and thus sort of an odd choice for a capital ship.

X-Wing, B-Wing, Tie Fighter (and variants), Tri Fighter, Vulture Droid, Slave 1, Naboo N-1, Millenium Falcon, Outrider etc.

Can carry two starfighters on the sides at least

Still not fit for a Capital ship - it's a Corvette after all!

Still technically a capital ship

Nope! Definitely not in size nor in armament! The CR90 is just too weak to justify a powerful kit that can match ISD and Mon Cals!

I 100% support this decision.

Maybe B-Wing. Otherwise nothing nearly as unique and non-uniform

ROFLMAO!!! X-Wing and Tie Fighter are the most iconic fighters of the Star Wars Universe.

Find me any SciFi spacecraft pre-1977 that looked like an X-Wing or a Tie Fighter. Then see how many saucer-shaped spacecraft there were.

I proposed that idea as well. You know, first of all it is a "holo table" game... there are a lot of things that don't make sense in the normal fighting as well... Second, the intention - I'm pretty sure on that - is to show us a small picture of a larger space battle going on. Thus Corvettes like the Tantive IV or the Imperial Raider-class could be involved as well.
I suggested that such ships are way faster than capital ships, with less support characteristics and more direct attacking vs single targets (as I think that would be more fitting).

Well, who knows? maybe, just maybe we get an armda style holo table once? TIE-Fighter squadron, instead of 1 vessel, Capital ships are a unique slot (so only one capital ship) and up to 2 corvettes and/or frigates fighting in turns (10 turns, player or AI choose a path for the fleet. they move, fight then starts the next turn, you have to make sure enemies are in your line of fire... well, one can dream)
