I just don't buy it. The Alliance wouldn't prepare fleets that couldn't equal the Empire's, pound-for pound, fighter screen included. The numerical difference is too large.

Nice article. It looks like you're using the laserdisc rip for the Episode 107 screencaps, though, I'll just replace them with exact copies. Vympel 12:14, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- Actually I'm using the original Japanese DVD, but my captures seem to end up of lower quality. Iracundus 12:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah I was just about to edit myself when I realised the alternative. For some reason they have a grainy artifice. No worries. Vympel 12:17, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Alliance Destroyer / Cruiser / Battleship / Carrier ratios
Just wondering if the Alliance ratio of ships should be the same as the Empire's.
The Empire actually gives us what can only be a typical fleet composition on episode 27. It shows that the fleet is made up of roughly 55% Destroyers, 28% Cruisers, 14% Battleships and 3% Carriers (the flagship class seems to be considered an upscaled type of battleship, and would logically be put in the Battleship category). Now, it may fluctuate some, but we can assume this is the rough Imperial standard.
The problem with this is the fighter ratio. Discounting the carriers themselves (50 to 100 fighters each, I suppose), the space fighters on each ship is as follows:
Destroyer: Alliance: 0 ... Empire: 2
Cruiser: Alliance: 3 ... Empire: 6
Battleship: Alliance: 12 ... Empire: 48
That comes up to: Alliance: 4,500 fighters ... Empire: 15,000 fighters
Calculating the Carriers for the Alliance Brings up a total of about 8,500 Fighters, and we have to assume that the Imperial Carriers can at least give an additional 3000 fighters. Which would mean 8,500 Fighters to 18,000+ Fighters.
I just don't buy it. The Alliance wouldn't prepare fleets that couldn't equal the Empire's, pound-for pound, fighter screen included. The numerical difference is too large. FPA Forever 12:12, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
