Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter and the X-wing
Favourite ship design?
- Thread starter DimesDan
- Start date
I always liked the medical frigate from ESB.
Personal scale:
Purely for aesthetics? The Lambda-class shuttle
If I had to take one into a fight? Slave One
Capital scale:
Purely for aesthetics: Executor
Going into a fight: The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer - but I'm switching out the TIE Fighters onboard for either TIE Advanceds, K-Wings, or Firesprays. Whichever I can fit the most of.

It's predictable, but I keep coming back to the Falcon. She's not just a ship, but also both a character in her own right and a home. She's large enough to live in, but small enough to be cozy and personal. I'd love to be able to walk around in that ship and explore her idiosyncratic nooks and crannies.
That's a great description, now where do I get one for myself? (I guess that's something we all want to know...)
From the prequels (ugh.. so many ships but very few of which I like) my favorite is the Sith Infiltrator
From the prequels, I had a soft spot for Obi-Wan's fighter from AOTC with the hyperdrive ring. That was a nifty-looking bit of business.
Absolute favorite? The Twin Ion Engine Interceptor:
It's like the Empire said: "You guys think X-Wings are hot shit? Well here's a TIE fighter with four turbolasers! How do you like that shit?"
My runners-up:
TIE Fighter
Star Destroyer
Super Star Destroyer
Millennium Falcon
Medical Frigate

Same here.
I like this Corvette http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net...ofG2007.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081004170707

I always thought the Colonial vipers looked more agile than the X-Wings.
Have always preferred the Y-wing over the X-wing as far as fighters go. It has that really cool workhorse vibe that an A-10 Warthog or F-4 Phantom does.
But the queen of SW spacecraft is and always will be the Millennium Falcon. Don't care if it is realistic or practical or any of that. It's just freakin' cool and that's all it needs.

[Star Wars RPG Player] Actually, they're blaster cannons, and the TIE/In has SIX. (Two on the bottom fore of the cockpit area, four on wingtips.) Turbolasers are cap ship weapons [/nerd]Absolute favorite? The Twin Ion Engine Interceptor:

I stand corrected, considering that just makes it awesomer!
from a technical standpoint, the tie defender from LucasArts' tie fighter computer game would eat any other fighter for breakfast. Four laser cannons, two ion cannons, a payload of warheads, and faster and more heavily shielded than anything the rebels had. Absolutely no reason for the empire not to use them if they had them.

Thou beatest me to the punch!
Interesting to note that in the original Battlestar Galactica pilot (Saga of a Star World), Apollo refers to the weapons on a Colonial Viper as "turbo lasers". LOL!
Oh, and btw, if anyone has ever listened to the Star Wars Radio Play of A New Hope, General Dodonna refers to an X-wing's missile weapons as: "photon torpedoes".
On the movie it's "proton torpedos"
