My solution to this would be to have the X-wing as a drone and the ISD as a full scale ship, seeing as I have the same problem for FTHL.

That'd be more accurate, I admit, but then I'd have to use just flagships for player ships, and the only well known flagships are the ISD and the Mon Cal cruiser. I may make this just a SW flagship mod, but that would only be well received by serious Star Wars fans. Maybe, but it depends on common opinion.

Well like i said before the Rule of Cool (do NOT read TvTropes unless you are serving a lifetime sentance ) takes care of it. And if the ISD and say the SSD were types A&B, the X-Wing and B-Wing could be types A&B of another ship. Still in the SW universe, still makes sense to play the game with these. The only problem is the levels, but your could argue that engine, shield etc. levels are scaled and not proportional. So every bar of a battleship's reactor would be like 100 reactor levels of a fighter.

Oh man you're in that prison too?

I'll go ahead with the fighters then. I don't know what to make drones though, there isn't really anything similar in the SW universe besides Buzz Droids.
