It is the quantity of guns, that sets the SDs apart, not the quality. The classification problems you are running into are actually adding realism to the game.

Maybe in the age of sail, but Lucas drew a lot of inspiration from WWII, particularly dogfighting, but other aspects as well. A lot of the EU has followed in his footsteps, including the light and heavy cruiser designations. Giving a medium cruiser enough guns to take on a Victory I-Class Star Destroyer is quite simply over the top, regardless of technological advances. It's armament is more appropriate to a heavy cruiser, and even a heavy cruiser should be hard-pressed to take on a battlecruiser or battleship (which is basically what a Star Destroyer is).

I used the age of sail example because the in service span of time for vessels is more closely analogous to that time period. While Lucas borrowed heavily from WWII navy style, I have always found the EU expansion information inconsistent with history.
ISDs are combination battleship/aircraft carrier. VicSDs are combination post WWI battleship/aircraft carrier. A dreadnaught would be more analogous to a Spanish American war battleship like the Maine or the rest of the great white fleet. The strike is structured to be a mini SD, capable of the same missions on a smaller scale. It has no historical equivalents. WWII did not have a 50 year spread of active ships, the SWU, at least the EU dose.

I have no problem with a multi-role ship; my problem is with the stats. The ship is essentially a munchkin in space. It is too durable and too hard hitting for something that size. There is no way that a 450-meter long ship whose write-up specifically states that its modular nature makes it more vulnerable to damage should be so close in soak potential to a 1600-meter-long Imperial Star Destroyer.

Now that I agree with. It's soak should be lower. If I remember correctly the modular nature increased survivability for crew as well.

That's the Carrack, based on its highly compartmentalized interior.

What I'm considering is stripping the heavy guns from the Strike and adding laser cannon in their place, then giving the Carrack basically the same armament and calling them both light cruisers, just with different designs and missions. Where the Carrack is intended more for speed and durability, the Strike is designed more as a multi-role combatant, but that versatility comes at the expense of speed and durability.

I still don't really have much of a problem with a Strike cruiser's armament. At most I would drop 10 of the 5D turbolasers in favor of 10-15 anti-starfighter double or quad lasers. Dropping the hull down to 4D or 5D max covers the only issues I have with the ship.

I'd go the other way and take the turbolaser batteries off. Historically, a light cruiser mounted the same caliber of weapons found on a destroyer or frigate, it just had more of them, with the larger caliber weapons reserved for heavy cruisers. IMO, stripping the 1D/7D weapons from the Carrack and Strike and leaving the Strike with its lighter and more numerous turbolaser cannon (and giving the same weapons to the Carrack) is more in keeping with the traditional difference between heavy and light cruisers. Working on stats now...

Okay, here's my version of the Strike Cruiser, with the following changes:
    1 - Changed the designation from Medium Cruiser to Light Cruiser, as Medium Cruisers have no basis in history.

    2 - Removed the Turbolaser Batteries, as their damage level is more consistent with a heavy cruiser.

    3 - Reduced the Hull from 6D to 4D+2

    4 - Added an Atmosphere rating. The prequels show that very large ships can actually operate in atmosphere, and allowing the Strike to do so allows it to deploy troops and cargo directly, eliminating the added deck space requirements for shuttles and landing barges.

    5 - Added some basic stats for the variant types listed in the Strike's original description, along with some others I thought of.

Capsule:
Intended as a replacement for the Carrack-Class Light Cruiser, Loronar's Strike-Class Light Cruiser is designed to be mass produced in a limited amount of time, using prefabricated component sections. Not only does this procedure reduce construction time, it also dramatically lowers the cost of each vessel.

Because of its modular design, a Strike can be easily and quickly modified for specific missions. The most common configuration is a multi-role mode carrying a squadron of TIE fighters, an AT-AT, two AT-STs and a company of infantry. Other variants include TIE Launch Platforms, Troop Transports, Heavy Vehicle Recovery, Prefabricated Garrison Base Deployment and Planetary Assault vessels that can carry up to 5 AT-ATs. The Strike's repulsorlift capability greatly increases its effectiveness in atmospheric operations, allowing it to deploy walkers and troops directly to a planet's surface without the use of landing barges or dropships.

While the benefits of the design are obvious, the Strike has some glaring weaknesses. The modular design means that entire systems or weapons batteries can be knocked out by a single well-placed hit. As a result, the Strike is actually slightly less durable than the smaller Carrack, the ship it was intended to replace. This relative vulnerability, along with its lower speed and maneuverability, have kept the Strike from replacing the Carrack entirely in the Light Cruiser role, and the two ships continue to serve side-by-side in the Imperial Navy.

Atmosphere Range: 100m-500m/1.5km/3km
Damage: 4D
Small Craft Complement: 4 TIE Fighters on External Racks (usually TIE/rc models)
Capsule:
Damorian Manufacturing's Carrack-Class is an old yet reliable light cruiser in the Imperial fleet. The vessel mounts a well rounded array of weapons, allowing it to engage a variety of different threats with a reasonable chance of success. Layered bulkheads and compartmentalization, combined with a unique modular life support system, assures maximum crew survival in case of hull breachings. On numerous occasions, Imperial salvage craft have retrieved Carrack debris and found live crew members on board. These bulkheads also lend strength to the hull, allowing a Carrack to survive an attack that would destroy a similarly-sized vessel.

Compartmentalization does have one major drawback, though. Such a defense system takes up an inordinate amount of space. As a result, the Carrack-Class is one of the largest light cruisers not equipped with internal hangar bays. Instead, each Carrack carries four TIE recon starfighters docked on an external rack. These small ships are used for courier missions and scouting duty.

To compensate for the lack of starfighter support, Carrack cruisers are equipped with powerful engines that make them among the fastest of the Empire's capital ships.

Current doctrine makes good use of the Carrack's speed by assigning them to the Navy's Pursuit Lines, although many have also been teamed with smaller vessels for patrol duty in pacified or semi-pacified sectors. They also serve as personal transports for important planetary governors and Moffs.

So, now that I've wrapped up rewriting the vehicle stats, I'm going to concentrate on updating the starships to my standards. I've already done quite a few, scattered around in various topics of their own, so I want to get everything organized by posting the appropriate links in one place. That'll be the next post...

Okay, so, quick update. I had considered not only upgrading the stats, but also incorporating many of the various house rules I've come up with. However, after a first attempt, it ended up being way too much; I had eight different browser windows open to the specific rules, and was having to thumb between each of them while trying to update the stat.

Way too much for right now.

So, what I'm going to do instead will be very similar to rewriting the vehicle stats. I'll use the WEG standard template and rules, adjusted only for 1) use with my scale system, and 2) adjusted as needed to better conform to WEG's own write-ups that accompany the stats.

EDIT: Oh, and 3) weapon ranges will be adjusted for greater uniformity, per here.

Note that I will be changing some weapons simply for the sake of uniformity. For example, the "turbolaser batteries" on the Nebulon B were actually weaker than the dual turbolaser cannon on the Corvette. As such, I've decided to standardize the dual turbolaser as the basic, Frigate-Scale weapon of most Frigate-Scale ships. Turbolaser Batteries (for the sake of descriptive purposes, are composed of four single-barrel turbolasers, each in the same strength range as one of the barrels on the smaller dual-turbolaser cannon) will be found only on larger, Destroyer-Scale ships.
