I still don't see any reason why the MC80, a passenger liner, should have a stronger hull than any ISD. 

There would be the bigger volume of these ships. Only the outside hull does not put out also the whole Hitpoints.
Then would still be there that only the first MC-80 in the service of the rebellion converted passenger liners might be. Mon cal was liberated before Endor (And it probably become  the first target of the Death Star II.), and might have built there already some real warships.
At least the Imperial-I is over twenty years old. And the ISD-II is rather an Up-to-date warship.

But these are only my proposals. You must not be directed afterwards. ^^

There were many variants of the MC80 series.  The first MC80s were unique in design, required constant care from the Mon Cal engineers, and were originally built as luxury ships.  Only after the BoE did the Mon Cal start cranking out real warships for the New Republic.  Those were likely much tougher at the hull level while still maintaining their shield strength.

yup, then you started getting specialized warships like the Mon Remonda MC-80b and eventually (although i havent seen them outside comics) MC-90 Mon-Cal cruisers.

Also, it's possible to have more hit-points, or damage boxes for the SFB/SFC fans, but poorer armor, so that you could take more hits, if those hits didn't do more damage per.

SFB? SFC?

Sorry, the Starfleet Battles boardgame from the Amarillo Design Bureau, and the Starfleet Command game series for Windows PC.

I'm not really sure how that affects us then...
