This is actually my favorite Star Wars ship. I like its overall design and function, a very sustainable platform to operate semi-independent, but still needs a little support nearby.
@@StarWarsOddball AotR is my favorite mod so far. I highly recommend it if you want more out of EaW. If there's a ship or vehicle you've been dying to see in action, odds are it's in there somewhere.
The two squadron limit never made a lot of sense, from both a sheer size prospective, and an operational prospective. It's clearly big enough to support a whole wing (72 fighters), or serve as a tender for dropships, Gozantis, Raiders, or other craft larger than starfighters.
The entirety of the ship isn’t a hollow hangar bay. So while it is large, albeit not anything near an ISD, the capacity of the hangars are taken up by the two squadrons and AT-STs. But that’s not all, you have to consider space for maintenance, support craft/equipment, munitions, pilot ladders, etc. Space starts to shrink when you consider everything altogether.
