But those guns can find use all the time, while a hypothetical Aiwha-II would rarely get to use its weapons. Now the Aiwha does have alpha power (relative to its class), because MTL is pretty damn dangerous to anything short of a frigate.
Better then to spend it on “ship” – less alpha power, but usable everywhere. Kuat Drive Yards began manufacturing the Raider-Class Corvette in 6 BBY as a dedicated anti-fighter vessel after it was successfully pitched by Lira Wessex, the designer of the Imperial-Class Star Destroyer.She recognized that the Imperial Navy lacked a small, modern craft to reinforce the TIE Fighters deployed by Star. On the defense they may never be in a situation to properly use their main battery, which is a waste of money. Raider-Class Corvette vehicle data created by unknown Wikia user. A warhead carrier is pretty much only good for fixed battles – at all other times they are at best saddled with mass they won’t use (because who uses a multi-hundred teraton anti-capital warhead on a blockade runner?), and at worst an explosion hazard. So the relative value of “ship” money vs “warhead” money is different. But the Imperial Navy has to be ready everywhere. Why? Rebels fight on ground of their choosing (if they’re at all smart) – at that point, having missiles is great. But in Imperial service, I think they’d be limited.
