I'm still around and interested. Might take a while for me to respond (at least as of typing this out and in the near future).

Necro squad, who else walks among the dead? I'm still keeping tabs on this despite its current state. I'll be sure to look out for an update if it ever comes back.

4 months later. Any news?
-Other than that...how's everyone doing?

Alright. I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting patiently.
Yeah, hope ya feel better. I haven't forgot about this. Or at least I have until today I went "Oh shit, I forgot about the ship RP!"
Starlight Lance
The massive mothership continued to orchestrate the battle from a safe distance, staying clear of the Endeavor's arcs of fire. To the Core, every hostile or group of enemies were just problems to be solved, and her strikecraft squadrons were the tools on the table to eliminate those problems. In the middle of all the action, Tesline dispatches hyperspace probes out in all directions, each device heading out further and further until they find a planet, or something of interest. She wished to leave the battle as soon as it was over... But then her Kadeshi instincts immediately change her mind. Look at all the salvage in the area!
Each Swarmer squadron docks and launches one after the other like clockwork, a fixed pattern keeping as many in action as possible while maintaining a large reserve. The huge bulb of the mushroom-like bow covered their movements, protecting them from fire whilst they rocket away to cause chaos. From here on out in an effort to eliminate the last of the Pyramid ships, waves of Assault Swarmers covered by just as many "Dogfight" Swarmers fly out in voluminous yet scattered spheres of microvessels, systematically pounding the hostile ships until they run out of fuel or their targets' hulls are reduced to slag.
Don't zap me plox, I was waiting too. I'll post when things get goin' again.
I usually review Wookiepedia only as... You know, maybe a little reference? I'm running most of what I've said on what I think makes sense. Jeez, I'm the kind of guy to believe everything he reads on wiki or something. (edit) I mean, I'm NOT the kind of guy to... Yeah, do that.
In any case, unless if there's an official statement, I'm gonna say that Star Wars ships do have sensors with superluminal capabilities. It would be dumb if they didn't, in my humble opinion. Oh, and I'll come back to the argument after reading 50 novels or something.

The last time I checked, the intent of the Imperials was to destroy the Rebel Alliance, and they almost did. Hoth's shield was unique in the fact that it dissipated energy directly into the planet's interior, therefore negating any damage they could've done... At least that's what they say, eh?
In any case, they wanted it to be a quick, decisive strike, yet they were detected coming in, therefore foiling their plans and saving the Alliance.
By the way, if you were wondering, I'm definitely an Imperial. Fuck the Sith though, I just wanna be cool and shoot Rebel scum. ALSO IT'S A MYTH THAT STORMTROOPERS CAN'T AIM FOR SHIT triggered

Yeah, they basically just go ZOOM in one direction while watching their watches, then they deactivate the zoom. FTL technology at its finest!

1) Most likely those scenarios are found in the middle of combat, and like I said, sensors jamming. An example of superluminal sensors is the scene in which the Executor and her fleet arrive at Hoth. Vader is notified by the admiral that they've jumped in too close to the planet, giving the Rebels the opportunity to erect a powerful planetary shield, forcing the Imperials to land troops. To me, it would make sense if they were detected before they entered Hoth's sphere of influence. Consider that the purpose of their invasion was to destroy the Rebel Alliance with one decisive strike.
These ships and their crews know what they're going to do, and so they're prepared to begin operations immediately after jumping in. The Rebels on the other hand do not know that they're about to be attacked until the fleet is spotted on sensors first. If they weren't, they wouldn't have had time to activate the shield that would've saved them from a would-be surprise orbital bombardment. You just can't relay the orders fast enough to react to the sudden appearance of an entire fleet already showering green bolts of death upon your entrenched yet all-too-vulnerable base.
2) I'm not saying that Hyperspace isn't dangerous, I'm saying that navigation computers would have the capability to take said gravity fields into consideration when plotting routes, and to see them before it's too late for an emergency stop [so your ship doesn't go crashing into a star]. Sure, one can say that the hyperspace lanes have already been established, and so the galactic community relies on them for travel, but if they didn't have superluminal sensors, how could they tell if something got in the way of what would've been a safe route? It would be reckless to just blindly jump into space even if they say "This way is clear and safe", because you're still shooting forwards at FTL speeds with no eyes on the road, and yet millions of ships do it every day in the galaxy.
3) Seeing them run away is one thing, knowing where they're going is another. There are many possibilities if they're going FTL, they would at least know they went a certain direction, but what about once they're out of range? That's where you put their possible paths of travel into consideration.
4) Yeah, alright. My main point with that was to say these ships weren't used in situations where they'd be useless from you just going around them.
