Build your own Star Wars Navy.

My guess for the Inderdictors would be the Immobilizer418 introed in the Thrawn Trilogy. The one with the foru globes in its hull.

As for escort carrier, there is aat least one known design. Page 54 of the old WEG imperial sourcebook.

Yeah sorry I did it off my memory X-Wing Alliance games.

I wasn't familiar with the Venator. I'll have to check it out

[Sionnach Glic]

An excellent carrier, with a 420 strong fighter complement.

Ah 9 of them then. Yeah my Star Wars knowledge kind of ended when Ep II came out.

[Deepcrush]

The Venator Cruiser is a great carrier if thats what you're looking for. Small crew, massive fighter payload and not great but still good ship to ship ability.

I think you would be better off with them. After talking to a friend about the escort carrier (he found two types). Even the better of the two wasn't great. A single wing of fighters and no heavy cannon... A single Venator could take out half a dozen without to much trouble.

If you're looking for terror, you don't want a ship that can be taken down by a Destroyer or Frigate. Even worse that the escort carrier could be brought down by a B-wing squadron.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Yeah. I read through the description of the damned thing and was scratching my head about it.

[Deepcrush]

I didn't read it myself. I skyped with my friend and we talked for a few mins on it. Neither he or I were impressed.

It was the only carrier I could think of for SW

[Deepcrush]

Go with the Venator over the 'Escort Carrier'. Its the best call for anyone, not just you. 6x the fighters, plus it carries troops for minor ground actions or boarding enemy ships, equal AA weapons and is able enough for ship to ship combat.

[Captain Seafort]

The Venator's good, but as a carrier she's limited by her small size and the heavy main battery. You be better off going for a dedicated carrier, a few km long, much fatter than the VenStar, a decent hyperdrive, but limited to light weapons like the Accie. Big, dedicated ships are always better than small jack-of-all-trades types.

Unfortunately those don't exist AFAIK.

Again with the 'small size' thing. It's 1,137 meters long and has 420 Starfighters.

This new 'standard' that you and Deep keep pushing for Cruisers doesn't make any sense from the sources I've seen.

[Captain Seafort]

Actually, they do. Before the Storm mentions "fat hulled fleet carriers" being escorted by Star Destroyers.

Again with the 'small size' thing. It's 1,137 meters long and has 420 Starfighters.

Exactly - by Imperial standards it's tiny. Look at the Executor. Look at the Death Stars. Look at Coruscant. Look at the rings of Kuat. Compared to them the VenStar is a gnat.

By Imperial Standards, the Executor is under-shipped for Starfighter coverage. 144 Starfighters compared to 420? And what does Coruscant and the Rings have to do with this?

[Captain Seafort]

Indeed it is. It's a battleship, not a carrier. For its size, those 144 are the equivalent of the aircraft WW2 battleships carried.

And what does Coruscant and the Rings have to do with this?

It demonstrates the sort of scale the SW civilisation builds on. Cities stretching across the entire surface of a planet. Artificial rings encircling a planet. And you, for some obscure reason, seem to think they'd consider a kilometre-long ship something special.
