I do know there's a light scout gunship in Marvel issue 47. It's directly compared to another, larger gunship in the same panel. So basically, SOTG07 does for the various comic Corellian gunships what ITW:OT did for the various comic SSDs.

right the little civilian version Luke and Leia buy on Centares is very small compared to the DP20
but as far as capital ships go, the Asteroid Corridor shows two types of capital scales, one the DP20, one perhaps heavy gunship
in all, three types of gunship-looking classes in Marvel
and a whole whole LOT in Dark Empire;)

A couple of questions concerning the ship compendium:
1. Are you sure a turbolaser battery is the same as five turbolaser cannons? That doesn't make any sense if you see the RPG stats, a turbolaser battery never is five times more powerful than a turbolaser cannon.
2. Are you planning on updating the compendium in the future? You know, a lot of information has appeared recently, like the real stats of the Viscount Star Defender.
Thank you very much

In Michael Reaves new book, Coruscant Nights 1: Jedi Twilight, there is a mention of Lancer class frigates. Now this book is set about 3(or is it 6 months?) after the Declaration of the Empire. The way I retconned this was that the Lancer class was not originally an anti-starfighter platform but was a pretty mediocre Frigate which is modified after Yavin.
Since the EU fluff mentions that the Lancer class was a mediocre capital ship good only at one thing after it's modifications, I thought it could be like that from the beginning. They could eventually be recalled as expedient anti-starfighter defences.

The scout ship meets with a "Rebel ship of the line" in issue 47. That ship looked like a bloated version of a gunship. Given its cargo interiors, I'd say that ship is many times longer than a DP20.

hey, that is indeed what I was thinking of as the heavy gunship candidate
but in the Asteroid Corridor fleet, that same "heavy gunship" is flying along true capital ships which appear smaller than it, but larger than the scout, which I think ARE the DP20

While we're talking CEC gunship-shaped ships, WotC has a METOSP on the YZ-775. It's not one of the Marvel ships, though.

Yes, they were actually quite consistent with depicting the two types as being separate designs. Even if the main hull is truncated on the DP20s, they still have the similar lines to post-Marvel depictions.

Rogue that arcticle is actually QUITE relevant. It indicates CEC was able to get the Imps to look the other way and allow them to make very heavily armed civ-legal ships. That actually may explain how Luke and Leia were able to buy the scout we were discussing, which is essentiallly a scaled-down gunships, and I always thought seemed too well-armed for a civvie

Found a small photo of some CW ships. I like the Malevolence, like a mix of Recusant and Providence classes. What are those other vessels though, in the small boxes? I see a Lucrehulk but that's it.

The text box mentions "Banking Clan frigates, Trade Federation battleships, and Commerce Guild destroyers" as making up "the bulk of the Separatist fleet." That's probably what's depicted.

I believe the second vessel may be a heavily modified Lucrehulk-class Core Ship, similar to the one used as a command center by General Grievous on Utapau. The third seems vaguely similar to an AA-9 freighter.

I don't appreciate you stealing the images I take and post and claiming them as your own. You can still see my bedspread in the corner.

I never claimed it as my own, in fact I said I found the photo, which I did, on a very hilarious thread on Stardestroyer.net. Reposted it to save bandwidth for the original poster.
