Thanks Indy.  Yeah, I do a Sci-Fi Crossover game at GenCon (I have
control
sheets up on my webpage).  I make sure I state at the beginning of the
game,
that these are my impressions of these ships also they are made to be
fun
when battling each other.  Others may disagree with what I did, but
you're
playing in my universe.

FYI, I made the Millenium Falcon smaller, well actually I called it the
Centennial Osprey or Epoch Hawk but it was the same ship ;-)
Super Heavy Fighter - Considered a fighter for targeting purposes,
resolve
damage as if it was a heavy fighter (screens) plus 2 points of damage
must
be caused to put it out of action.
It can fire at fighters twice per turn, normal beam dice.  It carries a
single shot missile weapon for attacking ships, resolve as a torpedo per
torpedo fighter rules.
Movement is 24" but it does not get a secondary move.
Endurance is unlimited (in game turns)

To compare, my Imperial Star Destroyers are Mass 300 (and the Super Star
Destroyer is 1400 in 7 200 mass sections)
