If you do it the other way, the question becomes "how is a missile launcher mounted on a starfighter using cap gunnery". I don't know or really care which gunnery skill is most appropriate. If you don't like it, change it. In my own games, I've combined all gunnery skills into one—it's really not that much of a different skill set.

I tend to agree, and its also worth note that per RAW, concussion missiles are fired using the Dexterity skill "missile weapons."
I think it maked most sense to use the skill most relevant to the situation. In this case, a starfighter is shooting, so, starship gunnery. I tend to think of capital ship gunnery as a skill that governs systems too big/cumbersom to fit in a starfighter cockpit. |

Basically how I handled it, too.

| Yeah. Although I looked it up and the rules do say that capitol gunnery is for "capitol scale" weapons. But, then, there is always rule zero... |

Some thread necromancy.
If you want Capital-scale power output in a Starfighter-size package, you already have the GAT-12 Skipray, or the later brother, the 24R Skipray. Modifying the GAT-12h, you should easily get your blockade buster hotrod up to spec.
I do think that it's better to take a starting point in the GAT-12h, as it could be piloted by a single pilot rather than by a full crew, as the 24R needed. |

Actually the upgraded X-Wing in the Jedi Academy Sourcebook is excataly what the OP wanted in all it's munchtastic glory.
you could fluff out a "normal" X-Wing with high output sublight engines (space 10) that require more maintenance and gulp down the fuel faster (cut consumables to 2-3 days), fire link the Proton Torpedo Launchers (for 10D fighter scale damage) even with scaling that will ruin a Capital Ships day. |
