Personally I think the Star Destroyers will be more focused on trying to keep alive, they doesn't know that the Beam fired by the City Ships has to be targeted in the middle in order for them to blow up and with those comming down low opening up on the way, they will be a distraction from the Mothership, well along with the many thousands of small ships flying around constantly hammering it.
Well, as far as we know, the city destroying beams are just that, and in no way will they be effective against a shielded star destroyer. Even if the beam would shred a star destroyer, the beam is always aimed down, and surely a half competent Moff or Admiral would figure out to stay outta the line of fire.
Yeah but only in that particular space, but that is however just my analyses on the case, I'm not a expert but having watched the scene again I would say that it's probably the way they do it, ore perhaps getting out is simply easier then getting in, again I have no idea.
TIE's are orbital craft, when they see the alien fighters being deployed, all they have to do is swarm.
Let's get one thing completely straight here RJ, and that is that the Fighters from the Alien side got Shield the Tie Fighters doesn't, so even if we assume that the Aliens just open their hangar door for them and welcome them inside (with Fighters poaring out) the amount of fire the tie fighters would need to lay down would be staggering not forgetting the fact that the Aliens actually fire back. And what exactly lead you to believe that a few tie Fighters can take out the entire Mothership?
Again, the Empire has so many TIE's it is unreal. TIE bombers, dude, TIE bombers.
Based on the Movies? I disagree, the Empire have in the movies never to my knowlegde nore in the EU used any kind of what I would call electronic warfare against a opponent.
OK, you saying a star destroyer or death star is like the same as Earth technology? The SW universe is full of technology that is FAR more advanced than what we possess.
They have men capable of building DEATH STAR'S, dude, surely finding a way around an opponents will be childplay for them.
I do yes, however I recall the first time where it seemed like the Fighters emerged regardless of the shield, unless you think that they would willing keep themselves open for attack for based on what I can see in the movie more then 10 seconds with enemies around? and the fighters would probably have emerged regardless.
It could be that somehow the craft can pass through the shields from the inside out, OR it could be that a small section of the shield was opened. Many possibilities. Whatever the case, the Empire would find and exploit it.
