Just popped into my head

Have you ever noticed, that in the horrendous Return of the Jedi, the opposing fleets have to fly within each other's line of sight to engage? Are you telling me that the Galactic Empire has mastered space flight, light speed travel, clean-burning and efficient power, but lacks OTH targeting? Every battle must be a knife fight?

Also, Star Destroyers carry short-range fighter 'aircraft'. As such, they are 'Star Carriers'. Furthermore, what is the point of building the big black ships? They don't seem to have any enhancement in the capability department. Did someone just say, 'I know, let's built a really big one. It will be like all of the others, but just really, really big'? In fact, all that they seem to do is fly really slow and force the other ships to throw themselves between it and the enemy guns.

Who designed this fleet? The Czar?
