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

Could just be a quality control issue...they just put the window in...did not care about orientation.

 

The Interceptor and Bomber are fine.

It might have been artists not realizing the inside and outside are not meant to match.

 

I suspect it was intentional, after all they could just reuse one "interior window" model for all ships but specifically made two and only assigned the "movie-like" one to the TIE/ln. For one I didn't know about the inconsistency in the movie, it's very bizzare. The interior model definitely makes more sense in that it allows more visibility, although the exterior one is far more iconic.

 

Hey, what's the point of that big stick on the bottom of the MC75?

 

That's where the bridge is.

 

So does Squadrons have any of the new ships from the TROS people fleet? Any new original designs at all? Did they forget to design anything new in their love for nostalgia and bringing back the known designs from previous flightsim games?

 

Hey, I guess that means this guy was right?

Spoiler

 

Well, that seems like a terrible idea.

 

I guess it kind of makes sense when you consider these are converted civilian ships, although it's perhaps a bit weird that they'd be kept like this as late as post-Endor (if I recall the MC80s command modules were much smaller and closer to the hull). Notably, however, the very first strictly military ship on the line (the MC85) has its bridge integrated into the hull.

 

Hmm, I had been wondering if the Quasar Fire was bigger, in Rebels, myself - given the reused Arquitens bridge, etc. If it was 1/3 the length of the new Interdictor, for instance, as the ram scene implies, it might be at least 376.33 metres, for instance (bigger if one has the Interdictor be larger, even)

 

No, no and no.

 

I suppose the Starhawk prototype is technically a new design

 

true

 

Can we discuss the arrival of this baby to formal viewing?

 

I wonder if they had access to the orginal RotJ model to draw this image?

 

ESB actually. And perhaps they did. Because it doesn't look like an attempt to thieve ECHenry's design either.

 

Oh, duh...I meant to say ESB

 

Huh I didn't know that was an existing design.

 

That's a weird looking ship!

 

Can anyone direct us to which blob that is? I kinda get them confused except for that one that looks like that one BSG78 ship.

 

Didn't we have a discussion about snowspeeders' speed in the past? Apparently the official guide to Solo: a Star Wars Story gives a ridiculous maximum atmospheric speed of 125 km/h for the Y-45 hauler. For a comparison the real life counterpart, the CH-54 aircrane helicopter, has a maximum speed of 240 km/h...

 

It's the little one on the right, under the GR-75.

 

I know some people think the Canon Chimaera having a paint job on the bottom is odd/silly, and really doesn't make sense in a military like the Empire (also how much did all that paint cost?!), but I think it looks cool.

I know he was a Grand Admiral, but it just seems excessive. But that doesn't stop me from liking it.
