You're being disingenuous if you can't at least give them that.
>>200694958*teleports behind you and snaps your neck*
>>200694958>split turbine in halfThat's just idiotic.
>>200694958What's better about it?
>>200695012It's not a turbine, it's a retrothruster. It doesn't need to be round.
>>200695046What did they lose to make them half their size?
Nu wars just proved how bankrupt (((the industry))) creatively is
>>200695074Nothing chud
>>200695074It can't rotate as a turbine if it's in half. Makes no sense. What's even the point of it being round at all?
>>200695107Then why make them twice as large for the original?
>>200695046>retrothrusterSo it's got a reverse gear? Why are they so much bigger than the orthodox thrusters behind them?
>>200695114ESL?
>>200694958Now it just looks less like Star Wars and more like generic scifi.
>>200694958the split turbine looks stupid.
>>200695114Plus when the wings are connected there's still a half divider in there that keeps it from being round inside. Glad I have never seen the new movies other than force awakens (which sucked)
>>200695149The top half is still round. That now makes no sense as there's no way for anything to rotate inside. They are semicircle turbines.
>>200695012This. All the "new" designs look stupid as shit. The TIE fighters, stupid as shit. The Donald Duck Stormtroopers, stupid as shit. They took good things and made them horrible and retarded. And their OC was even worse, like the giant, slow as fuck bombers.
>>200694958But they didn't? They literally just dusted off some of the earlier Ralph McQuarrie concept art from A New Hope.
>>200695246
>>200694958>We'll change the design just enough as to get full royalties for the merchandising instead of having to share it with Lucas by using the classic ones.Smart move, but also utterly uselessly stupid.
>>200694958It only looks better since it's based on the Joe Johnston sketches that later became the Z-95 Headhunter. Concept art almost always looks better than the final product, just like how aircraft prototypes look better than production models since they are the essence of the design before the feature creep and bloat kicks in.
>>200694958Soulless AI slop on the bottom
>>200694958Keep making threads mousenigger surely it’ll change reality
>>200694958How is it supposed to work with engine split in half? What these designers are smoking? It looks like nonsense concept art Lucas fixed before that 1st SW movie.
20% different means JJ gets $$$$$. Same with Nu-trek.
>>200694958>muh split engine
>>200695284There's a difference. Those look more like intakes not turbines. The vertical divider plus the top portion makes it clear. It looks better.
>what if we gave star destroyers dicks?
>>200695371Autism
>>200695334>It looks like nonsense concept art Lucas fixed before that 1st SW movie.That's because it is. See here:>>200695284>>200695291
>>200695427>what if we took the super star destroyer in photoshop and stretched it really wide?!
>>200695046>looks like shitI can explain!>now it looks greatIt doesnt work like that. If the movie is shit I wont get into the lore so it can be fixed by the background info. So yeah, it stays shit
>>200694958lolno
>>200694958how exactly does a half turbine engine spin?
>>200695285What is the point of bombers in zero g?
>>200694958I am pretty sure there is not a single thing that Nu Wars improved.
>>200695539What do they eat?>sustenance production plantfinally some good world building
>>200695012>>200695334They're not air breathing engines so there's no problem.
>>200695868
>>200695868It doesn't need wings either as it doesn't operate on lift. So what's your point?
>>200695979Because it wouldn't be a X-wing without wings in the shape on a X.
Sequels are completely lacking innovative tech. We had 6 movies with innovations introduced in all of them. Then we get safe little tweaks to existing designs.
>>200696071
>>200695012>turbine>in spaceAmerican education.
>>200696215It sucks dark matter, duh
>>200696208
>>200696215> sound> manned spacecraft> shooting lasers 2 feet from each other> in space
>>200695291>the rebel forces are not financially well off well what's their tax policy?
>>200695539is there even a purpose of having a ship[ this large or is it just Rian Johnson giggling while saying larger LARGER TEE HEEE
>>200695775Rian is a hack that didn't understand the Death Star trench run was an allegory for the Dambusters skip bombing barrel bombs into a dam without being literal in the visual choreography. So he wanted to do his own WW2 bombing scene with the result being the MG-100s ripping off the B-17 even in their "fortress" name, and was directly responsible for making the Fulminatrix Dreadnought as flat as possible with guns only on the dorsal surface to facilitate his two dimensional thinking.
>>200696494>So he wanted to do his own WW2 bombing sceneliterally was kino
>>200696382It was specifically so Holdo could have something retardedly huge to crash into and all the audience was supposed to say "wow! she's the bestest star wars character ever! I want to buy all her toys!"
>>200695005FPBP, OP never had a chance.>>200695284>McQuarrie is canonEverybody loves him but the actual props were better.
>>200696570WOW GIRLS GET IT DONE!!!
>>200694958>turbine is now split in halfSo this is the brain power of disney drones?
>>200696570I remember when I was a kid, my favourite Star Wars toys were definitely the middle-aged women. Not the Troopers and Jedis. I wanted more Senators.
>>200696382No.It would be far more economical to make a fleet of specialist ships. It doesn't make sense to have ore processing, fighter construction, capital ship construction, and a research lab all in the same ship. Unless they're trying to reference Space Ball 1? IDK I think they're going for a more serious tone so probably not.
>>200694958>You're being disingenuouscute coming from your kind
>>200696535everything that happens in space in TLJ is retarded, the tie fighters especially piss me off because they get nullified twice for stupid reasons (we forgot to launch them, we need to pull them back for no reason)
>>200696636Kids had toys of Admiral Ackbar. He was cool and smart. No one wanted "Admiral" Holdo. She's rude, mean, and got everyone killed with her stupid plan.
>>200695868For all the Disney Trilogy did wrong, I will always defend Poe's X-Wing as being the coolest looking ship in the entire franchise.In Rogue One, Saw Guerrera's terrorist faction had classic X-Wings painted black and white, which I also liked.
>>200696208the Lego Hellfire tank was awesome
>>200696641>Unless they're trying to reference Space Ball 1kek, you just know that they are
>>200696641>>200696742reminder that Rian loves space balls and did that cringe Kyo clothes ironing scene
>>200695539>assembly hall seating for 200,000imagine the queue for the loo
>>200695005H-he’s fast…
>>200694958>Can we at least admit Nu Wars improved on the X-wing?No, because you can't improve perfection. Now fuck off, disneytrannie.
>>200696494>Dambustersa true American hero
>>200695539>>200695868>>200695892I do like these diagrams though. They're fun to look at and wonder about. It's putting me in the mood for some wargaming.>>200697035based
>>200696382It was a subtle Spaceballs reference just like everything in that movie.
>>200697102fuck yeah
>>200696071>>200696208George Lucas is such a good creative director. I wish he could have stayed on at least in that role. The problem is they would never hire an innovative autist/schizo to create innovative designs anymore, it's too corporate.
>>200694958So is it a facelift model or is it outright replacing all previous X-wing iterations?
>>200697162god i hate rian so much
>>200695427>>200696494Compare to these kino machines that didn't end up on the big screen.
>>200696215Turbine and wings are obviously for flying on planets before entering outer space.
>>200694958Genuinely soul soulless
>>200697518I like the big ball in the middle
what were the kotor ships that popped up in R1?
>>200697207The T-70 itself was already outdated in TFA and replaced by the T-85 by the New Republic. Part of the nonsense that JJ had to come up with to make the Resistance underfunded and understaffed to replicate the situation of the Rebels and the First Order a big threat instead of the other way around.
Looks like a yeezie or whatever those horrid shoe abominations are called. The half turbines also look like utter trash, what's even the fucking point when there are thrusters in the back already for space shit? Whoever drew this has literally zero clue.
>>200696742>>200696641>>200696783The Kylo ironing scene was an absolute homage/ripoff of Hardware Warshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUDEUQMCyKE
>>200695539Do they have a lot of sex there?
>>200697582Hammerhead corvettes.
>>200696783>>200697678I don't recall this ironing scene that everyone is talking about. Is it the scene where Kylo is swol?
>>200697035>who'sagoodboi? who'sagoodboi?>btw, wing commander gibson, what's your goodboi's name?
Why are the Umbarans the only few people that has some serious advances in technology? Motion touchscreen display instead of Analog.
>>200697694If the right wing's a rockin' don't come a knockin'!
>>200697734imma replay kotor now, thanks
>>200697555It seems to be a design reference to the Trade Federation battlecruisers.
>>200695074They aren't.
>>200697772Upon further review, I realized it doesn't really have anything to do with Kylo, it is in VIII when they infiltrate the giant wedgie. Watch the Hardware Wars link I posted, and you'll see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCGschgLUPI
>>200696570>ep 9 retconned it that holdo was trying to escape and it was an accident that she even hit at the right time despite the people on the dreadnought obviously were worried that she would hit them with the shipgod disney wars is so fucking dogshit
>>200697912everything that happened on the supremacy is so dumb, this whole movie is so dumb
>>200695868how the fuck did Luke go to Dagobah with his X-Wing without getting crazy inside such a small area for weeks? Jedi meditation shit I guess
>>200697555>take the star destroyer, cut a hole in it and put a mini-deathstar in the holela creatividad
>>200697772https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCGschgLUPI
>>200695892Soul>>200695868Soulless
I like the fact that the star forge and its fragments can not only create fleets but also have the potential to create air, water and life via the living force. Revan said it could have the potential to create new galaxies.
>>200694958The funny thing about that is there was concept art contemporary to A New Hope that looked like the bottom one, they just went with top because it looked more realistic and better
>>200698001You're not wrong; there were many things about nuWars that I liked, as well as many things that I absolutely fucking hated that absolutely ruined it all.
>>200696570Vice Admiral Tumblr smashed through the right wing of the Supremacy after Mary Poppins lead the way.
>>20069514913/f/cali
never forget that Admiral Ackbar got sucked into space and was killed.
>>200694958Is it made from Woodoo hide?
>>200695718What was so bad about New Coke?
>>200698296Whodo?
>>200697518I was skeptical until I took a closer look. You won me over, they look rad.
>>200694958One of the best parts about Disney wars is that now all the insufferable faggots who like the prequels and insist they are good even though they are objectively garbage and they are only liked because they saw them when they were 5 before their daddy left to buy a pack of cigarettes and never came back will have to experience the same thing about another series of objectively trash movies that another pack of zoomers will endlessly praise because they saw it when they were 5.
>>200695012I hate the ST X-Wings. OP is high
>>200697207The side profile is where it goes off the rails into being overdesigned, though it does let the strike foil be a single thickness when closed with the upper wing as the rear section and lower wing as the front section. Basically the T-70 looks far better if it was a Z-95 with a fixed wing instead of splitting as an X-wing.
>>200698400
>>200696208>>200696071With advances in technology, will we see full on fully fledged autonomous droid armies irl? Makes more sense than muh futuristic power armor
I don't care if it requires a crew of 3. I just think it looks so cool. It my favorite SW ship
>>200698894based based based
>>200698894i always loved Dukoos ship
>>200696215The turbine would be for atmospheric flight.
>>200694958From every alien to every piece of machinery, to each planet and character, the shitquels offered nothing of aesthetic value.Goddamn, what an atrocious setting.
>>200694958one is a believiable craft that rebels would use and has seen use. the other is a shiny show piece in an effort for Disney to sell more toys. everything Disney touches rots
>>200695539a ship that needs its own city council
>>200697600I forgot the shitquels had a CG cartoon at one point.
>>200694958There's a reason that design never left concept art before this.Though the T-85 actually looks pretty good. Only ever showed up in the worst cartoon though.
I don't care about the vehicles in Star Wars.
>>200695291All respect to Joe but the Z-95 OG was the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
>>200697518Few things are more rage inducing than seeing all the unused concept art of these sequels
>>200699313>fuselage bigger>wings smaller>"pretty good"
>>200695539No basketball court?
>>200699403It looks much more solid, which helps with how flimsy the engines look split.
>>200699367Nothing is uglier than the E-wing.
>>200699532Technically true, but that is ugly like a pug. The Z-95 is like a distorted version of something you love.
>>200695046why make them semicircular at all then? just make them trianglesit's a turbine and we all know it anon
>>200696382Yea, if it serves as a mobile base of operations and fleet resupply point used to bring presence to some fringe border territory that is getting uppity.Would it have production facilities? Probably only for parts or small ships, not whole capitals.
>>200695285does every resistance bomber come with their own page tico, ball gunner?
>>200698261haha that brings me back
>>200695868lmao there are literally fucking propeller blades in that picture
>>200698458yesnato is already letting ukraine use ai to control the suicide drones
>>200698894Very based anon. I really wish we got more interwar ship design that bridges the the gap between PT ships and OT ships. Pic related
>>200699831That'd be cool in an aesthetic sense, but let's be honest, there are enough models to cover the shift between the 20 year period between films.
I've got a soft spot for the Consular class, I love the noise it makes.
>>200699403according 2 this thread the ship doesnt even need wings
>>200698458I for one am looking forward to nanny droids with retractable blasters in their forearms.
>>200699732It's listed as an electromagnetic gyroscope but if you don't take that as a good excuse you could just say they are radar blockers like on the Super Hornet and Su-52.
>>200699367It works better depending on how its rendered.
>>200700252
>>200700252I do like the bubble cockpit from the Clone Wars model, but you might as well just use the Clone Wars model then. It actually looks good.The split engines look bad with the single intake.
>>200698894>3 man crewdin would have been better off with one of these considering the N1 has zero space
>>200695427Space Battleship Yamato movie Sadaba Yamato 1977 and TV Series Yamato 2 1978/79.
>>200694958new one looks like it was made by hacks who can only make slopso it checks out
>>200700023>going through all that trouble to make a half-human robot but not let her breastfeedstupid
>>200700337
>>200695427I would have liked this a lot more if it didn't fire the lamest bolts I have ever seen.
>>200695046>>200694958>has to travel in hyperspace that takes time>somehow has FTL comms?dumbest show ever
>>200698988For me it's the Fanblade fighter that Ventress used in Samurai Jackwars.
>>200700594>can communicate to any area in the planet instantaneously>have to take hours or days to move anywheredumbest world ever
>>200695371They also seem to be disconnected from the rear exhausts
>>200700625
>>200696215>Wings>in spaceYou really thought you got him there, huh
X-Wing and Viper are he best.
>>200699367>>200695291>>200700252Just realized why; in OG concept art, the rear 4 engines are off-centered to account for S-foils being deployed.Z-95 OG does not take this into account, so it just looks bad.
>>200695868For not having a turbine it sure does show one in your picture. This is what happens when mechanical designs are made by people who don't understand mechanical designs.
I would have been oke with it if it worked like this
>>200700651It takes them like 15 minutes to go all the way across the galaxy in TLJ to get to the casino planet.
>>200696494>allegory for the DambustersPartially. But it's also inspired by a film featuring a bunch of RAF Mosquitoes flying down a Norwegian fjord to hit a German facility at the far end (or rather bury it under a rockfall.)
>>200694958No, they took the x-wing and marred the design by making it 'sleeker'. That was the only thing the 50 yr old cat lady told the male concept artist. "Uh make it sleeker, no that isn't sleek enough". But it's in space, ma'am... Amateur concept artists continually pump out amazing top notch designs. EC Henry for example. Wanna see an Imperial LAAT? Holy shit look at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wwgb37DXZU
>>200700999It's obviously a retro thruster with an electromagnetic gyro inside, just like the caption says. Trust the science fiction.
>>200701244Come on, buddy, that's not something you can really say for Star Wars.
>>200700321>din would have been better off with one of these considering the N1 has zero spaceAgreed. I've seen a few designs where they convert it to a 1 man ship with a living quarter. Pretty neat
Yet another design that didn't grace the silver screen.
>>200701070If there was a cool mechanical sequence where the split turbine connects to the rear output, I would have been OK with it.
>>200701363honestly the ARC-170 is kinda ugly and this makes it even uglierThis >>200699831 is the best iteration of it I've seen, minus the gimballed guns
>>200694958No OP because I didn't even notice it
>>200695285Incom Corporation T-51 Heavy BomberIncom Corporation's only heavy bomber design to enter service, it did so only in very limited numbers but was instrumental in destroying several poorly defended Imperial ship yards in the early stages of the galactic Civil War. Slow and of poor maneuverability, the T-51 did not play a large role in the Rebellion, where smaller, multi-role fighters were more suited to the Rebellion's hit-and-run tactics.
>>200701277that's awesome
>>200694958post-Episode 3 ship we never saw that branches from the v-wing interceptor to the TIE
>>200695246This was some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.
>>200701277did these need one of those hyperspace rings? even better addition to what if din had an arc-170
>>200695285fixed
>>200694958Don't think EC Henry made this one but it's an ugly lil sumbitch isn't it? Still better than any of the "Resistance" ships.
>>200702430you can just headcannon it that they took the V-wing and the Jedi starfighter's best aspects to create the TIE Fighter
>>200702572No, iirc it was one of the first fighters to have its own built in hyperdrive.>>200703009I'm pretty sure that is the official canon
>>200694958Looks like dogshit.
>>200694958no.
>>200702430>sienar makes TIES>kuat makes the jedi starfighters (vector & eta2)big himmm
>>200694958Bottom looks like AI-generated shit. Makes absolutely no sense.
>>200698894Its criminal how little screen time it got. Its definitely a cool design
>>200694958>Soul>Soulless
>>200694958How are the fans halved? The bottom plane has fans that spin in a circle but disappear halfway through the spin...
>>200694958>Looks the fucking same
>>200701244so why does the design show fan blades where they would be on an intake compressorand if its a retrothruster why isnt there a nozzle on the front end to actually produce retro thrust
>>200699831>LegoIt's funny how some of the most kino star wars ships made by fans is from legos
>>200705345
>>200703765>fansIt's not a jumbo jet
>>200695284Came to say this.
>>200704450They aren't fan blades, just greeble struts that look like fan blades. And the entire opening is the nozzle for the retro thruster. Everything is handwavium in a galaxy far far away.
>>200694958The Incom T-65 "X-Wing" is the fighter that killed the Death Star. An almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shields makes this the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron, except when the mission profile disallows it.
>>200707189Hah I started reading that and the Rogue Squadron narrator voice popped into my head. Those games got drilled into my brain. I remember playing the Gamecube one in really long sessions and afterwards I'd have slight visual hallucinations of things flying past my vision. No joke.
>>200695246Kylo's TIE Silencer looked cool, it was a nice evolution if the TIE interceptor
>>200695539>massive ship that could be akin to the capital city of the empire in space>barely any screen time>destroyed and nothing like it shown againSuch wasted potential man
>>200701194EC-Henry's designs are so insanely based. Here's an Imperial Snowspeeder he did
>>200695012No, you can split anything in half including genders.
>>200701194that's pretty cool
Why are SW fighter ship designs based around a cockpit with two engines on either side? Is it just because of modern fighter plane designs?
>>200695094The new industry is run by women. They can't rationalize anything, only emotionalize their arguments.They'll also never learn from their failures because it's always everyone else's fault
>>200695046Why does it have a hub and visible blades then, baitposter?
>>200695539I would like a slice of life abroad this rediculous ship and half the show is the characters in elevators for hours and hours and hours
>>200709699It would probably be a tram system
>>200700287For me, it's Jaden's headhunter
>>200702430Kinda reminds me of Black Sun's Starviper fighters.
Shocking lack of A-Wing love ITT. What? You anons afraid of SPEEEEED?
>>200709328Good guys get an even number of thrustersBad guys get an odd number of thrusters
