Is it just me or is the ISD a better ship than the SSD? For certain as a carrier type ship the ISD can put far more Tie Fighter Bays than the SSD and plain old tonnage remaining after essential components goes to the favour fo the ISD as well.

The Executor class hull can use Heavy and Massive battery mounts but the ISD can only use Heavy and normal battery mounts. This gives it longer range and greater damage/kT ratio for the weapon. Wether or not this makes up for the increase in tonnage used for essential items is another question.

Another example of a dodgy increase is from the Nebulon B-1 (frigate) to the Nebulon B-2 frigate (mod frigate). A five engined B-2 has 12 kT less space, greater supply useage a move and a 5% worse defensive modifier, for the gain of an extra target attackable per turn (10 for the B-1, 11 for the B-2).
