A Death Star would still eliminate the need for cargo ships.

Either way, all defenders need is an X-wing to get rid of any Death Star that heads their way <_<

No it wouldnt due to its cost. An RIP has 1M cargo space, 40LC worth.

40 x LC = 300k Met 300k Cry

1 x RIP = 5M Met 2.5M Cry 1.5M Deut

An RIP hold RF over any ship which is its main advantage and in large numbers they are almost unstoppable.

true but remmeber LC wouldnt be able to hold up against defences or fleets so then you'd need battleships and bombers

I think a RIP's best use is for defense and for major attacks.
Even if it has a massive capacity it's base speed is just too low. Only 100. Compare that to 7,500 of the LC.
You can't use it for blitz attack or flanking.
