Time to validate my sig yet again, but . . . aren't the shield and hull values a bit small for a destroyer? I can't readily find any of the old TIE Fighter values, but I thought an X-Wing for example was somewhere between 50 and 100 for shields and hull both, and I would have thought a capital ship could take more than 3/6 X-Wings' worth of beating?
