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

It made me realize TLJ's Resistance ships stopping when running out of fuel consistent with even the EU.
Which I should have realized earlier since that's how the engines have worked since at least the 90s Flight Sims. zero thrust, zero movement. If you disable a ship's engines/systems, it slows to zero, it doesn't keep drifting.

 

The ships that weren’t disabled were constantly accelerating, giving the appearance that the disabled ships were slowing down and stopping, even though they were still moving at a constant speed.

I guess maybe a game can justify it better just to keep things simple? Whereas in a movie, you can do better? I dunno.

 

As I see it:

MC75/MC80 = ISD
Neb-B = Arquitens
CR90 = Raider
GR75 = Gozanti

Given the inclusion of Qusar Fire carriers, I suppose we could argue for a Rebel analog, but I doubt it. I do wish we got to see some Hammerheads and Dornean gunships though!

Peltas?

 

Maybe give the Ton-Falk over to the New Republic (that would be a funny reversal)? A miniaturized Endurance? Come up with a new ship model altogether?

 

So far we haven't seen any Quasars in MP footage, so they could be SP only.

 

So, has anyone done a ship by ship specification of the 14,000 ships at Exegol?

At least at Star Wars, they have the budget and are bothering to distinguish the ships. Over at Star Trek, without spoiling much, the most recent massive fleet gathering was just a bunch of copy and pasted identical ships without even registry numbers visible.

 

Ooo ooo, while we're at it...let's replace the TIE Reaper and U-wing with the VT-49 and Pursuer, respectively.

 

Add the tie defender and B-wing!

 

Not to mention Resistance. There were a lot of fighters that need details. Funny thing is the one I liked most was barely in it....

 

Still not sure why the Imps would ever name an escort carrier after a DEFEAT, anyway. Maybe for the system?
Great pictures, also.
(Tuskin38) I tend to go with the 'all ships are constantly accelerating' explanation for TLJ, myself, though it's pretty much not what the director and staff intended. We see the Anodyne listing after it runs out of fuel, for instance... could be explained as an engine misfire, if we wish. Or more aether physics. For the video games, I usually assume some kind of emergency retro is used to keep a ship from hurtling on out of control, right before it runs out of gas. But in an actual space chase where you want to keep ahead of capital ships, this system would logically be disabled - as it could have been, for the Resistance fleet.

 

Was re-watching Rebels "Iron Squadron" last night, and in it, Sabine stated that Stardestroyers are 6 times as big as Imperial light cruisers. Thought it was interesting, since it would either make the Stardestroyer 1.95km, or make the Arquitens 267m long, if taken literally.
Also the way Mart uses cargo containers as improvised bombs could be used to explain how GR-75s are used in combat.

 

I did contemplate that she meant volume, but the problem with that is a ship with 6 times the volume of an Arquitens, would be closer in size to a Vindicator, than a Stardestoyer.
Also I don't think we should take Sabine's statement as fact, but rather as a ballpark figure, as it was a quick remark meant to correct Mart who mistaked an Arquitens for a Stardestroyer. This allows some wiggle room and means that the Stardestroyer could be 5 to 7 times the size of a Arquitens, allowing both the established length, or one of the smaller sizes I've calculated, to be the actual length of the Arquitens.

 

I always take in-universe comments such as these with a grain of salt. Unless you're watching a seminar about the ship from the guy or gal who came up with the design and he specifically mentions it's specifications, I'd just chalk these sorts of quotes up to characters making off the cuff comments to illustrate a point.

"That's not a Star Destroyer, those things are significantly bigger. Imagine a slider. Now imagine a double quarter pounder from McDonalds."

"Are you saying Star Destroyers are edible?"

 

Yeah it's just a generalization not a literal statement.

 

Are there any other good pictures of the First Light? It's kind of hard for me to visualize for some reason. I wish there was a 3D model I could spin around.

 

Huh?

You mean that big, messy everyone-shoots-everyone-else "battle"? I'll grant it was pretty SFX but it was pretty empty to me.

 

That's funny/weird. They gave actual class/model names for a lot of ships in the video, but for the ISD and Resugence, they just label them as 'Star Destroyer' and "First Order Star Destroyer"
apparently the TIE Kylo takes to Exogol is a 'TIE Scout'

Interesting, so that is a YT-2400 Variant


Victor-Wing?


Ohh
