All of them are on the table...Lore and Legends

I am curious to what you all think?

The best in what? Firepower? Size? 1v1 potential? Awesome factor?

Eclipse wins in all 3 of the technical categories.

ISD.

In all regards.......its balance, firepower, awesome factor.....etc

Still ISD.

Super Star Destroyer.

It's massive, powerful, and intimidating. I love it's design and a ship that large is just so impressive to me. It's first appearance cast its shadow over multiple ISDs (the previous biggest ship we'd seen in Star Wars) and it perfectly represented the Imperial war machine.

The ISD will always hold a special place in my heart, but the Super Star Destroyer is definitely my favorite.

Yup, perfect explanation. Couldn't have said it better myself .

VSD. Admiral Harkov!

I've always liked Imperial-Is because of how rare they are and distinct. I like the vertical targeting array, the engine baffles, the bigger turrets, and the pearl-white finish. ISD-IIs by comparison seem monotonous because of how often and everywhere they are, even standing in for what should be ISD-Is.

The Resugent is a nice successor to the Imperial. Here's hoping we can actually see them fighting in 8.

And with that I make my plug for the ISD II. Just love that long range. Though if points permitted for two ISDs I would always pair a I and II together for mutual support.

Thanks to Rogue One, Movies With ISD-Is in outnumber Movies With ISD-IIs In (TESB had a couple of ISD-I shots).

Super Star Destroyers is a classification of a large vessel of certain size, there were many classes of ships that would fit into there. Like the most infamous Executor class, the Eclipse Class and the Bellator Class is still listed as a SSD in many sources out there.

And even in the newcanon (Complete Locations) the term seems to cover more than just Executors.

The Mandator-class Dreadnought receives a mention in Rogue One: Mission Files - they conclude that to power a superlaser would require a ship at least the size of a Mandator - and it still couldn't destroy a planet at that size.

Sheer intimidation factor: Super Star Destroyer

Pure iconic factor: Imperial II Star Destroyer

Cool Aesthetic factor: Victory Star Destroyer

I realize that this next statement is somewhat unrelated, but when I used to play the PC game Star Wars Empire At War (specifically, it's expansion "Forces of Corruption") I had a blast (no pun intended) when I played the mission where you got to use the superlaser of the Eclipse class, and could just blow other capital ships apart.

Favourite is Imperial Star Destroyer.

But Interdictor and Resurgent are very close second.

The Imperial Star Destroyer is by far my favorite.

The white Rogue One version has grown on me, but the ISD II from ESB is probably still my favorite.

ISD II wins it for me, but the Bellator comes in a very close second. It's just a little bit short on the iconic-ness.

if i remember correctly the eclipse is a star dreadnought not a SD

as for my faveret i'd go with ether the Venator or the Interdictor Star Distroyer

There's one shot of the Devastator Refit (ISD 1.5? ISD IflightIIA?) that has the ISD-II top array with ISD-I turrets:

I am sorely tempted to get Mel's turrets to build this version on one of my ISD's. However, I appreciate the fact that the FFG star destroyer model is able to superfire all turrets forward- this particular variant cannot due to the turrets' bore axis height.

I remember playing X-Wing Alliance growing up, and one mission has you flying a YT-2000 past an Imperial fleet (including the Executor ) to a mining facility as a rescue operation. The Imperials are just ignoring you, initially, so you get to fly past the Executor , and after doing so for several minutes, you realize that you still haven't fully passed it yet! It really put the scale of the thing into perspective, and cemented the Executor -class as possibly my favorite capital ship (the blue coloring didn't hurt, either).

I had always read the Eclipse-class as an Eclipse class Super Star Destroyer. (In the Dark Empire comics, I think it was just called a Super Star Destroyer....I don't know if they'd come up with the Eclipse-class designation at the time of those publications..) But they may have changed that up in perhaps some RPG materials, or in new canon....so you may be right, it may have been reclassed as a star dreadnought.

I think the Interdictor is a cruiser though....not a star destroyer. Aside from its gravity well generators, I believe its only armament consists of like 20 quad laser canons for anti-starfighter defense. But, that may also have changed up with current canon. Maybe its been armed with a powerful array of turbolasers now.

Ah well....whatever they are....they are all cool ships.

from what i understand all SSDs are technically star dreadnoughts

the new interdictor was based off of the 418 Immobilizer cruiser however some publications and at least 1 legends artwork referred to an "Interdictor Star Destroyer" basicly a Immobilizer with the durability of a ISD, there in the Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption overhaul "Thrawn's Revenge", and in that they are beasts

418 Immobilizer is one of the coolest. If it counts.

I'm also partial to the Venator aesthetic.

But the classic and best is Imperial class.

In the EU, SSD applied to everything above Star Destroyer - there were Star Cruiser (informal subclass of battlecruiser) SSDs, Star Battlecruiser SSDs, and Star Dreadnought SSDs.

In the newcanon, we don't know yet how far "down" Super Star Destroyer goes - whether it applies only to dreadnought/"Star Dreadnought" ships, or if it can apply to smaller ones.

The smallest ship referred to as an SSD in the EU was the 2.3km Allegiance class battlecruiser (cited in The Essential Guide To Warfare endnotes as typifying the Star Cruiser subclass of battlecruiser).

The new interdictor was based on the early art for the Immobilizer - but the Immobilizer still exists as a small, no longer in production Interdictor seperate from the Rebels one. And the Rebels one gets called a Star Destroyer by Ezra, in the Season 3 premiere, which fits with its large size (big enough to fit a corvette in its hangar).

The scale of the Rebels Interdictor is hard to make out.

On the one hand, it does fit a corvette in its hanger. On the other hand, the Arquitens cruisers that crash into it at the end of the episode are enormous compared to the Interdictor. I left the episode thinking that the "new" Interdictor was significantly smaller than the one based on a Vindicator hull.

But, of course, in Rebels, scale isn't all that important. That light cruiser is shown to be extremely tiny sometimes (the latest Geonosis episode), and then huge next to ISDs.
