So there's a more general problem here. I'm not particualrly interested in discussing whether or not a AI could beat a jedi, though I do think you're being rather limited in your conception of the different factors.
I'm not even sure what your trying to say, "conception of the different factors," means nothing.
The Jedi fucking cheat, the Force lets them see the next few cards in the deck before they're drawn. It has nothing to do with AI vs Jedi and everything to do with someone blind to the Force and someone trained to use it.
Why is it so hard to believe that a Jedi Knight, presumably trained for and experienced with battle, in addition to the benefits of the Force is extremely hard to beat? Worse due to the nature of hyperspace in Star Wars, unless a Republic Fleet must defend a target, they can simply disengage. Gravity well generators (hyperspace blockers) haven't even been put on a viable warships yet.
I assumed that was a pseudonym. Even looking at the description of the decoy is lacking severely in presenting us a proper example of what he actually looks like. You describe 'fluid tanks' and 'cybernetic interface', which could both mean many things.
If it sounds like bullshit and it smells like bullshit, it's probably bullshit. I thought I made it clear that the
Phantom Menace was, well a phantom menace. It's a fake, a distraction, and more often then not bait. Everything inside is a mock up, it's why ambiguous bs wording was deliberately used, all the real hardware is aboard the
Enterprise. Of course that might come back to bite me later.
The issue replicated in the ships. If you don't want to change the names fine, but you don't give us descriptions of what the ships look like, or what they do.
I'll describe it if it's story relevant. There are many people do not care, I was considering even cutting describing the fleets. If you want to know just copy the ship class into Google images. I've been considering posting the notes I've written up for most of the ships but taking the time to clean it up will take away time for the story.
Offhand, I can recall several names of different ships, and have a good idea of what they look like, but you described an apparently three week (which is also stupid) battle that involved like 20 different models, all of which are already unreliable because of your refusal to call them something that makes sense.
I do not have unlimited time or motivation. I'm not going to go into technical detail, so early in the story, of a huge system sized assault. It would take dozens of updates. Again many people are not interested in how long it took for the orbital stations to fall, how many fighters were sent in the first wave and how many held back for point defense, or what battles were waged with the electronic warfare systems and sensor suites across the system.
I'm sure some people do care about the incinerates of battle and I do plan to have large fully written battles but they will only appear when and if appropriate to the plot and pacing.
This is supposed to be an SI but we still don't know who the SI is or what they want.
I had no intention of slowing wasting away in Wild Space while running from Imperial patrols. I also had no intention of fighting to the death for a lost cause, especially one as corrupt as the CIS.
Not sure what else to say, I'm not an ideological crusader nor an I particularly interested in dying for any cause. Survival is it's own reward. What can I say, I have a realistic understanding of myself.
If a Gozanti, which I only know about because I've now looked it up, can be described as a cruiser, and the largest ship in your fleet the larger Subjugator, can be described as a heavy cruiser how are we supposed to even begin to know what's going on in the battles when you just throw a load of names at us.
Again Star Wars's naming conventions suck. I'm not going to make up a system. I do not have the expertise in physics and engineering nor the motivation and time to educate myself to come up with something believable. I am trying to stick to Canon ships and not make up my own, so if people are interested they can look it up for themselves.
