Of course they work better vs ISDs than battlecruisers – one wouldn’t expect a single Nebula to take on a Praetor. Because Nebulas and the like are small with small crews, they can be fielded in big numbers. I think it’s a conscious bet on numbers vs individual superiority. I think that’s a bit tangential to my argument there. I’d like to see a fractal total redesign of the Bulwark concept, but that’s probably not happening anytime soon. Perhaps they didn’t have enough point-defense to protect against torpedo salvoes, or weren’t maneuverable enough to keep a Victory in their primary HTL arc. The Bulwark is as ugly as they get, and at 1000m can’t possibly be an actual Star Battlecruiser, but it’s interesting nonetheless. The old canon had a fleet of Victory-Is catch and destroy a CIS armada of Bulwark battlecruisers in open space as their first engagement, which is pretty interesting. Victory-I as a positional warfare ship I can buy if we assume the vast majority of CIS capital ships are Munificent/Recusant/Lucrehulk, which either are too small or don’t have decent enough gun arcs to rapidly kill Victory-Is. Anything like a Praetor-II or larger should have an alpha capable of knocking it out in a matter of moments, and the New Republic had to face a lot of cruisers and dreadnoughts. The Nebula as a planetary defense destroyer concept only really makes sense against destroyer-range opponents.
