@Nudhul @vokainen099 @FeelsOttoMan @PraxisOfEvil @Hoss from what I remember it was partly imperial doctrine favoring bigger capital ships and lots of disposable fighters combined with the rebels ending up with a lot of clone wars era scrap. That and uh, the designers of the x wing defected and took the designs with them the day before they were supposed to give them to the empire.
