Lit Fleet Junkie Flagship- The technical discussions of the GFFA (Capital Ships thread Mk. II)

Til the 9th. Get on it fast. Starfighter assault seems to be the only improvement to BF2015 in my opinion. Also you guys saw what I meant about how while the turrets seemed to be slapped on to the ISD and MC80 willy-nilly, they actually wind up going perfectly well with the ships' aesthetics? They don't seem out of place at all despite being so obvious to those of us with trained eyes who search for that kind of thing.

 

till the 9th

 

Best cockpit screenshots I could manage, just going to link the imgur album because I don't want to fiddle around with this. Order looks to be: X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, TIE bomber, TIE fighter, TIE interceptor, from top to bottom.

eh I would argue that the B-wing is almost designed to counter criticisms of it's model, like the gyroscopic function and the wings folding in. As far as we can tell these things don't have those functions. I am still assuming they just don't dock in hangars or there are specific slots for them in capital ships

 

You wouldn't know about either of those things from just the model, though.

 

We have seen the lego set and it's functions though and it does not seem like they fold. plus the body seems to be a chute with bombs which connects directly to the cockpit I assume based on the shot from the bts trailer.. I am just saying let's not disregard his criticisms. I like the ship but he has a fair point

 

From a preview of Rebel Files by Dan Wallace:



Confirmation of length of Dornean gunships! 90m, so even smaller than the old DP20 Corellian Gunships.

--Adm. Nick

 

I see a misspelling:

"Confirmed ships: Home One, Nautilian, Liberty, Amalthea (pending hyerdrive repair)"

I'm curious about the CR-90 - is it a recanonization of the old length figure of 150m - or is it a case of "slipped through editing" the way the occasional recent examples of the Death Star 1 being 120km are?

 

There's also the anti-captial misspelling. And I'm 99% certain that Nebulon photo is ripped off from this guy https://imgur.com/gallery/dHCS0
You'd think with access to ILM files, they wouldn't have to steal crap from the internet.

Pleased to see GR75s are finally confirming what everybody with a head on their shoulders suspected; they are armed, however minimally.

 

I consider the 126m length is meant for the CR70s, which I clearly smaller then the CR90s, which to me are 150m in length.

 

While that would make sense - I'd like to know for sure if Rebels and/or TCW were using 150m CR-90s.

It's a bit annoying that Home One and Nautilan are treated as generic 1200m MC80s with the same basic statline as the Liberty - didn't a recent book introduce MC80A specifically for Home One types?

 

Please don't say baseless speculation that slanders a long time SW illustrators work or LFL. You're better than that.

Not quite baseless: the image is flipped and the Falcon and stand are photoshopped out, but its definitely the same photo as this.

 

Not the first time they've done it, I know Fractalsponge is still pissed at all the times outside of EGTW they used his models without permission.

 

They are definitely close, but you can see some shading differences. Maybe it was ripped?

 

I can't see how you can be so definitive when one of the images is so blurry and lacks any clear detail.

 

I think it's that the angle in particular is the exact same as well as some of the details you can make out. I am not sure it was straight up pulled from the model, but if it was confirmed I would not be surprised. Not that this falls on Dan, I doubt he compiles the images for the novels

 

The differences are subtle but I instantly recognized the image, there's no other with quite the same proportions. The most obvious indicator of the image clone is the bottom vanes on the rear module, how they bend backwards identically

 

Augh I hope these are placeholder images, look at that Hammerhead.

 

Yeah that's gotta be a placeholder.. is that the rebels model?

 

It's neither Rebels nor Rogue One, it's ripped from SWTOR.

 

Which is extra funny considering SWTOR's version is the Thranta-class corvette rather than the KotOR Hammerhead frigate/cruiser. Though the Thranta's role/size fits better with the canon OT era Hammerhead corvette. You'd think after Rogue One there would be enough modern models for that ship.

 

Which is not actually a Hammerhead at all, for crying out loud.

 

That's hysterical. Yeah I am 100% certain these are just some filer images an intern threw in for the time being. Unless Pablo threw it in to test our game

 

"temporary" filler images . . . "for the time being" . . . for an official starwars.com sneak peak for a book that's coming out in less than a month? Sorry guys, but I guarantee you that hammerhead image is going to be in the final book.

It wouldn't be the first time, "The Imperial Handbook" used a picture of the Assertor class dreadnaught to represent the Executor. A bit annoying, but these things happen.
