The Neb-B is listed in the EGtV&V as a "Rebel Cruiser", and you also got the Carrack class light cruiser, Dreadnought class heavy cruiser, and the Vindicator and Interdictor cruisers. There's a huge range of ships that are referred to as such based on their role, rather than their size.
Meaningless. We have a canon statement that it is a Frigate. The way they use it isn't important.
Then prove it.
Wow, how did I know you'd whore out??? You're the one trying say canon is wrong so you're the one who has to prove it. If you can't then just run away.
There are far more than 16 SSDs in the Imperial fleet - the term is a colloquialism for all ships larger than an ISD. There may only be 16 Executors, but they're the largest ships in the fleet - you're ignoring the Allegiances, the "humpback" design, the Praetors, Procurators, Mandators, Vengeance, Giel's battleship, the communications ship, etc, etc.
So how does a battleship being big make a Cruiser not a Cruiser?????
That's certainly one of it's roles, and a colloquial term. It's official title is in the acronym - ISD. Imperial class Star Destroyer.
Star Destroyer is a title given to the basic design covering Acclamator, Venator, Victory, Tector, Imperial, Interdictor, Pellaeon, Eclipse, Executor, Republic and Nebula. All of which are different classes but were all of the Star Destroyer line.
Again, they're certainly big enough for independent ops, and probably filled the cruiser size bracket in the pre-Endor Mon Cal fleet. However, by Imperial standards they fall squarely into the destroyer bracket between the Vic and the ISD.
Pathetic excuse for how you're so full of shit. They're cruisers, pure and simple. You know it, I know it and now you're just running circles. They are stated canon as Cruisers. Get over it. The Victory is a Destroyer. The Mon Cal Cruisers are CRUISERS.
Again, in this case your own source describes it as a cruiser at one point. I entirely agree that it's too small to be a "proper" cruiser at the largest scales, but neither are ISDs.
It was treated as a cruiser because they didn't have real cruisers. Even so, its still a frigate. As in even the Rebels CALLED it as such.
The Neb's the better design. It's weapons are poorly positioned, and it's a poorer ship than the ISD, but it's still better than the Mon Cals - they're too lumpy to be considered good designs, regardless of their effectiveness.
You like the Neb over the MC90? Why is that?
