Which Imperial ship is equivalent to the Corvette?

By bitrider, in X-Wing

Size matters not.

Does, too.

We don't really have an official size on the Gozanti so it may end up bigger then we expect.

Wookieepedia's length seems to be based on a now-expunged post on starwars.com, which may or may not be canon. But it's pretty easy to estimate the size based on the TIE Fighters carried by the version illustrated in "Rebels":

Comparing the size of the TIE Fighters directly to the size of the cruiser itself indicates that the ship is no more than 10 TIE Fighters or 64m in length--but that must overestimate the ship's length to some degree, because the fighters are closer to the camera than the cruiser's keel. It's not clear to me exactly how much to dial that back, but it's clear that although it's certainly larger than that 41.8m, it's probably still close.

Also, the Gozanti is a proper military capital ship so it could pack as much or more firepower then the CR-90.

Every source I can find describes it as a refitted freighter designed to resist pirate attacks with heavy armor at the cost of additional mass.

Gimme mah Vigil!

If they give the Empire a ship the movies only showed in Rebel Hands I'll be very frustrated. The Nebulon B is a rebel ship or it isn't in the game. Doing otherwise is trolling the fans.

Or weeding out true Star Wars Universe fans from those who just know about the movies. Not saying this to sound like because I read the books and Wookiepedia, I'm better than those who just watched the movies, but because most Star Wars fans realize that almost all of the Rebel Capital Ships (Except the Mon Cal Cruisers) were originally Empire ships, or ships that "fell off the truck" from various pirate gangs and planetary forces

Also if they stuck exclusively to the movies this game would be done after wave 3 and the Rebels would not have the Hwk lots of pilots would not exist (not officially named in the movies) many ships would not have their full capabilities revealed. (Y-wings get blown up just as easily as X-wings, and Ties do in the Death Star run)

That said an Assassin Corvette would be a good equivalent ship, but I would still like a larger frigate that way a Rebel build could have a transport and a corvette VS one of the Imperial frigates
