Man I loved Rebellion, So many interesting things happened in that game. Especially when you had characters betray you. Or when you suddenly find out that Leia can be jedi trained.
Once you tripped on the strategy of sabotaging key facilities it became very easy to take planets.
On the other side your starting move is to build fighters and bombers on each planet that you owned. If you had 20 squadrons of fighters and bombers, no matter how big the attacking fleet was it would retreat.
Once you could build interdictors, you could pretty well chop the enemy down pretty easily. There was a glitch in the game where Interdictors were almost impossible to destroy because they had 4 times the shield strength of a ISD.
But the combat graphics at the time were pretty cool.
I remember having fleet battles against other players where you'd have 10 SSD, 50 ISD 50 Victory star destroyers, several hundred defender fighters and a wack of smaller support ships against a similar sized rebel fleet and it would take forever.
