I remember that thing in GC. It was a powerful-but-sluggish thing which had to be escorted by X-Wings or A-Wings. Big fun to fly it, though, despite the fact that it was a sitting duck to faster Imperial TIE Fighters and Interceptors. I can't wait to see it in-game again (although I'll be sure to play the Empire much more than Alliance.)
