SWSE : vehicles, what beats what?

[Thundercracker]

I was thinking of conducting some mock battles with vehicles and starships to give some context to space battles. Before I do that though, I wanted to check if it’s been done already.

Can anyone point me to a database of mock battles that have been conducted with various vehicles (no PCs), that indicates which side will win in a given space combat?

Ie: 3 xwings vs 5 tie fighters, who usually wins?

One ISD vs 3 nebulon B frigates, who usually wins and how many starfighters are left over?

How many tie fighters are an even match for a dozen xwings? Interceptors? Defenders?

How many xwings is an even match for a victory star destroyer and tie complement? How many would it take to win 70% of the time?

These types of questions. The idea behind this is to give context to PCs in vehicle combat, so they have a better idea how extraordinary their achievements are.

Edit: apologies if this isn’t the right place to ask this question.

There's another Forum titled 'Older D&D/AD&D and other systems'. Your question would be more appropriate - and more likely to get a useful response - there.

i mean maybe but Saga Edition the version theyre asking about is the D20 version of the star wars tabletop RPG (which i played a grand total of once) and this is the d20 forum (D&D3e/3.5e/d20)

True, but non-D&D D20 is covered elsewhere normally:

Forum: Older D&D/AD&D and Other Systems
The forum for discussions specifically related to the rules and procedures of either any of the older editions of Dungeons & Dragons (1e, 2e, BECMI, OD&D) or any other non-D&D roleplaying rules (Vampire: The Requiem, Dread), including non-fantasy d20 systems (such as Mutants & Masterminds).

Even if its in the wrong place I'll answer.

.

Not that I know of, but frankly I would go with what is narratively consistent with what you need. Also remember that Crew Rating is important here as well.

X-wings, not a question. Proton Torps are nuts.




One ISD vs 3 nebulon B frigates, who usually wins and how many starfighters are left over?


This one is Trickier, I'd probably give it to the Nebulon's simply because they would have better escort Fighters.

Why are X-Wings doing the Y-Wing's job?

The Problem is

The forum for conversations specifically related to the rules and procedures of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, 3.5 Edition, or any fantasy game using the d20 system or a variant thereof (commercially published or not).
causes cross post with this

including non-fantasy d20 systems (such as Mutants & Masterminds).

Fantasy game using the d20 system or a variant thereof (commercially published) belongs to Older D&D/AD&D and Other Systems.
Fantasy game using the d20 system or a variant thereof (not commercially published) belongs to Homebrew.

Especially given that Star Wars is typically classes as science fantasy, rather than regular science-fiction​. So it should be fine, as it is fantasy.
