Generally, they are the result of years of research and development in accordance with a set of design requirements issued by the military. Very few military aircraft are the result of desperation.
The original in the novels lacked any defensive weaponry or a hyperdrive, so that means a K-Wing would require fighter escort to survive an enemy fighter attack. Strip off the cannon and leave the crew at 2, allow them to coordinate, and the ship makes more sense. It was never supposed to be a gunboat, just a bomber. As originally written, the K-Wing is a two-seat fighter craft designed to carry a plethora of ordnance, including some stuff that would make capital ships a little worried. I think you're judging the craft by what it looks like after it got raped by the NEGVV.
You can get lucky, but don't plan wars on it if you don't have to. I think it's a desperation craft, like using X-Wings in place of Star Destroyers. Location: Redding System, California Sector, on the I-5 Hyperspace Route. The Rancor Pit :: View topic - The K-Wing
