I don't really see the point of that considering that the NR does have a large list of almost useless frigates (which ships depends on fleet tactics). Depending on ship to ship firepower VS fighters VS shielding. Though last I checked the Dreadnaught was in large supply for the NR...
In addition I apologize for any past rudeness sometimes I get agitated and lash out passive aggressively on forums.
Thirdly I was reading up on Thrawn for an idea for a new mechanic in Ascendancy (Dummy Trading Ships) and noticed that Thrawn considered the Chimera outgunned by four Assault Frigates. While I can't calculate the DPS myself due to a lack of ability to read the mod's code, I can compare the raw number of guns.
So the question is of course then, should a group of double the pop cap of Assault Frigates be able to outgun an ISD2 with leader bonuses? As a side note, I guess Thrawn was really scared of those Proton Torpedoes. As an additional side note, according to Wookiepedia Assault Frigates carried these things on them. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gamma-class_assault_shuttle If the Assault Frigate really does need a buff, how about boarding parties eh? If that's in the base game. As a third side note, despite the umbilical docking cords not working in hyperspace Assault Frigates in 2.1 did carry X-Wings which can hyperspace on their own.
I'd like to make a remark to Brig and say T3Bs are better then T4Bs and T4B lasers are terrible, the proton torpedoes, higher speed, and higher laser damage is fun. I'm assuming they're unchanged from 21.
X-Wings on the ground are... Strange. Health and less damage compared to a TIE fighter (wut) cost more then an Escort Carrier (makes sense) and the Skyhopper has shielding (wait what) where as the X-Wing doesn't.
ARC-170's do not make sense to me, despite being a 20 year old ship they have stronger hulls and shielding compared to X-Wings. Unless this is canonical I am stumped. In addition they appear to move faster then Rebel Y-Wings and are able to penetrate a CR90's shielding in one pass and destroy it in one pass with two squads, where as the modern New Republic Y-Wing cannot penetrate the shielding in one pass of a CR90.
The False 181st despite being composed of average pilots, droids, and a hologram actor survived the onslaught of two Assualt Frigates and 10 X-Wings all ganging up on it, despite being a TIE-Fighter hero.
Have some comments on other stuff, but just quickly gonna clear up a misconception first:
This is because "burst count" is purely for graphical effects, it has absolutely nothing to do with damage. you could change everything to burst counts of 200 and still would get the same damage out of it. So, pulse counts being 2 on the ISD don't actually mean it's weaker than if you have the same damage stats on another ship with a pulse count of four. It just means you're seeing more graphical effects.
It's basically a performance thing. This way, there's almost no CPU work involved in damage calcs. It's given the distance, the damage of the total package, the number of targets it needs to get divided between (which is almost always single-target), and the speed of the "packet", and it backloads the damage to when the projectiles should roughly be hitting, but this way it doesn't have to parcel out the damage to each particle and check if that particle actually hit.
I'm not sure where you're coming from with the 400% increase. Since the ability offers a 75% damage reduction, 75% of incoming damage should be taken away. That would mean the effective hit points of the ship's hull and shields should increase by 75%, meaning from 5,150 to 9012.5.
