1) I didn't see anything that was preventing the X-Wings from being effective. The difference between the Z-95's and the X-Wings is a computer system and photon torpedoes, which is identical to the movies.

2) Yes, the capital ships need to be outfitted with the correct weapons to battle fighters. Some weapons can't target fighters, because the fighters are too small and fast. (I tried to make it as realistic as possible. They made similar comments during the movies.)

3) Yes, the Bith fighters are viscious in their own right. You need to kill them before their capital ships get within range.
