Star Destroyer.  SDs have many hundreds of Turbo Laser 
batteries, Ion Cannons, Tractor Beams, etc...  Considering one 
blast takes out a star fighter... do the math.

Okay, I'm going to say this again. This makes the HUGE assumption
that Star Wars blasters are nearly as powerful as Wing Commander
blasters. It is my opinion that they are not nearly as powerful.
Besdies, the Dreadnaught has to have antimatter guns, right?
If it does, then it's all over right there. Even with only lasers
and its other standard guns, this wouldn't be a contest. Star
Destroyers have nowhere near the shielding of the cap ships in
WC, and those shield domes are SO easy to destoy, leaving the
whole thing pretty much defenseless.

	Nope nope. =)  I played Tie Defender of the Empire and it wasn't 
hard to take out an STD at all (Battle 8 when you have to kill an STD 
taken by the Rebels).   My Tie Defender survived nary a scratch.  If my 
dinky little Tie can do it, a Kilrathi Dreadnought can do it far more 
easily. 

	To all flamers:  This is a lighthearted thread and should not be 
taken seriously.  Otherwise, seek professional help.

One blast takes out a Rebel fighter, but not a Confed fighter.  Confed
fighters are much stronger.  BTW, Dreadnoughts have a Tractor Beam
too.

I agree.  Imagine a TIE Defender against a Dreadnought.  One
anti-matter gun shot and it's history..

 I'd be curious to see if anybody actually had any specs on the Imperial Star
Destroyer. I've seen the _Star Wars Technical Readouts_ at a few bookstores;
could a schematic be in there?
