A Hutt superlaser warship's design tradeoffs

What does the panel think of the Hutt Cartel's superlaser-armed Star Destroyer in Thrawn's Revenge?

Its Hutt appearance and conventional armament are broadly accepted, but the superlaser draws criticism for recalling the failed Darksaber project.

The Hutt warship in Thrawn's Revenge is judged visually consistent with its faction, resembling an enlarged pleasure barge. Its listed armament includes forty heavy, forty medium, and forty light turbolasers, plus twenty-five light concussion missiles. That conventional battery earns a broadly favourable response, although it may be modest for the period. The objection concerns the beam weapon compared with those of Eclipse and the Death Star: repeating a superlaser idea evokes the failed Darksaber project.
