Yeah, the computer game stats are totally weird compared to other
sources 
of data on the ships (SW RPG and the Ship manual by somebopdy else). The

game stats have been heavily modified to balance the game (and to give 
fighters some life expectancy around capital ships that are not
currently 
engaging other capital ships...).

All game data and such has to get an approval from Lucasfilms. Whether 
it's Big L himself who gives the final OK or not (propably the latter), 
they do have some sort of "official" stats for the ships. AFAIK the SW 
RPG is closest to the truth (I think somebody from WEG once explained to

me the process they went through while making the game. They had to send

a script after script to Lucasfilm, until every comma was in the right
place)
