Firing vehicle and Starship weapons is dependent on your Base Attack Bonus. Your Pilot skill only provides a +2 Bonus if it is above Rank 5. While this makes sense for turret mounted vehicle and starship weapons that are crewed by gunners, it makes no sense for forward facing weapons that are under the pilot's direct control. Another thing that is definitely broken is Ion damage, similar to Stun damage as noted earlier. A ship that takes even a single point of Ion damage is ionized and can not move, fire weapons or perform stuns until damage is repaired. The difficulty of the repair depends on ion damage done - but no time window is given. Flip back to Skills and check the Repair skill and you find out that it takes about a minute (10 rounds) to make DC10 repairs, 1-10 points of Ion damage. If I were a group of Y-Wings attacking an Imperial Star Destroyer I would fire a couple of Proton Torpedoes, a couple of ion bolts, and then happily whack the starship to bits with lasers - and it's really that easy.

A third problem is collision damage. What would happen if a pesky Z-95 Headhunter flying at Ramming speed collided with a stationary ISD? It would explode right? Wrong. Collision between a Z-95 (Tiny) and an ISD (Colossal) causes 6d12 points of damage, for a maximum of 72. The Z-95 has 10DR for shields, bringing it down to 62, 30 points of shields, bringing it down to 32, 10DR for hull, bringing it down to 22, and 120 hull points bringing it down to 98 - not even enough damage to cause equipment malfunction. You pretty much bounce back with enough hull points to do it again. The best thing about all this is, it causes the ISD only 12 points of Shield damage (60 Shield DR) - so they were fooling you when the A-Wing did its kamikaze into the Executor's bride in Return of the Jedi..

Then there is the problem of movement and actions. The mechanics have been directly taken from character combat, as I pointed out earlier, so starships can take double moves, a move and an attack or a full attack action. Does this sound stupid to anyone else? Since most starfighters have speed ratings within 1 square of each other, there is no way you can actually attack a fleeing starfighter. A Tie Fighter taking a double move moves 20 squares in a round, that's faster than a tracking missile, so in effect, if you launch a missile at an enemy craft he will just turn around and run away. Of course, there is the problem that an X-Wing following a Tie Fighter who is taking a double move can never hope to fire at it. The Tie Fighter takes a double move of 20 squares, X-Wing moves 9 squares - none of its weapons can fire 11 squares away. It can fire a Proton Torpedo which will travel 9 squares in his attack action but afterwards the Tie Fighter will keep moving 20 while the Torpedo moves 18 squares each round. Pfft. Combat mechanics assume that both sides are willing to fight - pursuit in tactical combat is nearly impossible.
