Yeah! In Rogue Leader #1, Ten Numb not only survived the Battle of Endor but was promoted to Blue Leader!
I guess that means the original Blue Leader died in the Battle. Whoever he/she was.
Again, anyone recognize the starfighters on the cover of Outbound Flight.

Starduster, from Empire Jabiim arc--what class is that nifty Rebel shuttle? And is Nara Dantels a Kiffar?

Nice one, 2ndQuest. Reminds me of that little Thundercat t-shirt of mine. Stopped wearing it when fellow kids started cheering at the sight of it. The look on their mothers' face, I still remember 20yrs later.

My utilisation of complex locution to ask what's more pathetic, fans who worship their
movie actors, or the actors who couldn't give a damn, is more a reflection of my own
superincumbent mental actuity than any circumscribed lexicon. Don't you agree?

At last! A hint to Excellence's actual age!  
Stardusters were mentioned in one of the "emails" in X-wing Alliance, I beleive. It was implied that they were vintage starfighters, like the Z-95. But I don't think they're the same as that shuttle.

Bah, it's easily discernible in my bio, Rogue Follower.
Proposed thread names thus far include:
Fleet Junkie Academy: Messing with Capital Ships
Fleet Junkie Harbour: Capital Ships Ahoy
The Capital Ship Thread- Fleet Junkies HO!, the mess continues...
Fleet Junkie Flagship- The technical discussions of the GFFA
The Capital Ships Thread- If You Ask How Long a SSD Is, You Will Be Banned

I assume that the Outbound Flight ships are Chiss fighters - anyone got any high-res images yet? 
And I think something like The Capital Ships Thread, Mk. II - The Mess Continues!! would be appropriate...
... abbreviated as CapShips Deuce! 
Of course, then the RPG would insist that it was a Capital-class Ships Thread, and then SWTC would object that it it must really be merely a "Capitol-class thread", and much smaller than some other 100,000-post threadnoughts that have been on TF.N all along, but which we just haven't found yet...
  I suppose we should put something along those lines in the first post:
Started by Thrawn McEwok, an enigmatic fuzzball with a funny accent, the Capital-class Ships Thread was a terminological and continuity-kludging nightmare; but the fleet junkies pushed for it and the moderators enjoyed it, so the standard Ships Thread was created.
The Capital Ships Thread has enough opinionated points of view to reduce a civilized poster to madness, or take on a legion of lesser dissenting fanboys.... Since its introduction, an improved version of the Ships Thread has begun to see action. The Capital II is an upgraded model featuring increased canon paradoxes and heavier flamewars.
- Greg Gorden, et al., The Jedi Council Sourcebook (West End Games, Honesdale, PA, 1989), p 61. And, in homage to the fansite we couldn't be here without:
This page is devoted to the famous kilopost-long thread known to the posters of the Jedi Council as the Capitol-class ships thread, and colloquially known as Capital ships thread to dissenting fanboys. There exist other kinds of ships thread in the Jedi Council Forums, but this commentary ignores them in order to focus exclusively on the most thoroughly addictive thread.... Ships threads are the smallest kind of warship discussion to which anyone pays any attention, but the existence of numerous other threads which are smaller and larger indicates that they are actually medium-sized discussions.
- Curtis J. Saxton, Star Wars Technical Commentaries, "Ships Threads" (http://theforce.net/swtc/cst.html, 1997-2001, as of 13/9/2005) Or does that seem too much like a snark to people with different POVs...

Yeah I had assumed they were the Chiss fighters mentioned in SQ...or perhaps earlier models seeing as it's quite considerabley earlier. I really want to learn about Chiss fighters apart from those damn Clawcraft  Especially as it was mentioned that they had different weapon systems from regular starfighters. Ah well...maybe we will sometime soon.

Well, does anyone else have any ideas for the new title? I say we let people have a few more hours to post one, then we can post a list of them like Excellence did and begin voting!
Also, how does everyone feel about starting a new thread? I know that The2ndQuest said we can just edit this one, but then our first few pages are cluttered with these discussions. I say that we just vote a title, write a intro, select a person to post it, then get back into the discussions.
Afterall, we have alot of stuff that could be full of ships in the coming weeks...

On a sidenote, anyone else think "Fleet Junkie" should be in the Star Wars Wiki? ::)

We need a index to all the relevant links and resources in the first post, the compendium (at very least this version http://warlords.swrebellion.com/compendium.htm ) other stuff of interest that people have put together.
links to swtc and stardestroyer.net would also be useful for newcomers. and heh if we really got inventive we could link into the old thread with topic headings :-p In fact it would be fun to link topics under some of the more prolific posters so people get a idea of where they are coming from (ooooh this would be flamebait) we could have a poll with questions like "the SSD is ? long" heh, I might actually waste my time doing a 'what type of fleet junkie are you?" poll
speaking of which, anyone have a link to the detailed analysis of the battle of endor with screen caps, the one with the 3 or so home ones/15+ mon cals etc etc... need it quick and cant find it anymore
finally if anyone is interested in helping to update the ship database http://warlords.swrebellion.com/shipindex.php (it gets between 30K and 60K unique hits a month and its essentialy unadvertised and incomplete) please contact me, it has the ability to support comments so we could have everyones veiwpoint per ship (even mcewoks) if we wanted to.

Empire at War--new vehicles and vessels; also the Starduster
|
First the Starduster--is it a YKL37R from Galaxies
====
other thoughts
Here's what I've found out
Broadside Frigate--seems to be a new design, Imperial
Tartan Patrol Cruiser--seems to be a new design, Imperial
Assault Frigate Mark II--does thename imply it is, like the original Assault Frigate, a modified Dreadnaught-class, Rebel
Ground vehicles:
SPMA-T Walker--obviously akin to the SPHA-T from AOTC, Imperial
2-M Repulsortank--is this related to the Sabre-class, Imperial
MPTL-2a Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher--is this once of the vehicles from Force Commander, Galactic Battlegrounds, or WEG?
T4
Also the IFT-T Hover Tank from Battlefront II looks similar to the 2-M and the Sabre
Also the Y-B Mining Vessel from Galaxies looks like a B-wing could it be a Slayn & Korpil design; Verpines do like to make mining vehicles

Kudzu:
I don't like the "HIMS" anymore than a Imperial fan would like "NRS" or "RSS". If we do go for a ship sounding title, we need it to be neutral, not pro-Imp or pro-NR.
Oh, but I thought it was perfect!
