And yet, as in real life, a carrier is only as good as the fighters it carries. If most SSDs couldn't be given a full fighter complement without sacrificing fighter support elsewhere, what's the point in calling it anything but a big ship with lots of guns?

Most of the time SSDs were parked in orbit over important planets. In these situations it was likely that most of the local fighters were on surface bases rather than the SSD, so it didn't need to carry a thousand fighters, just provide an orbital pilot recovery and repair yard for the planetary fighters in case the system was attacked.

We're not talking about fighters, we discuss the role of the ship.
In the Empire were good fighters and another thing that is not in such numbers in what could be. Paradox, spent unimaginable money on super projects and at the same time save on fighters. Again, the number of manufactured TIE fighters grandly, for example WW 2 the number have matters (in the right hands).

True, but I can't recall any time that this was actually done - perhaps the Vong war?

Is not the point, his worthlessly used, I mentioned it. Yes it was equipped with 144 fighters, but as already said

They were able to carry over 1,000, possibly thousanDS if fully stocked.

it's a fact.
ISD Executor class, it is not just a big ship with lots of guns.

Well that's kind of what happens in war now. The battleship was replaced by the carrier.  The mightiest battlewagons were sunk by aircraft.  Same in SWs, Iron Fist, Executor, Lusankya, and scores of ISDs as well as both Death Stars. Aircraft could kill bigger more expensive craft with relative ease.

Hm.. you not correct about ISD Executor class, it is not just a big ship with lots of guns. Do not forget how many fighters were located on it as well as ground troops. Imperial command just worthlessly use them, they are also fairly expensive to operate (I mean not only game).
