for me it's the Venator Class
>>220739255...it's what?
>>220739271its the Venator class he said it right there are you blind
>>220739255Why would you place your turrets at the foot of a giant structure blocking half their view?
>>220739255That double bridge setup is hella retarded bro
>>220739339two captain can work twice as much and make decision half the time. it's brilliant, it rhymes.
>>220739339I bet all those Imperial cucks that got hit in the bridge wish they had two
>>220739310yeah I know but what is the venator class for you nigga
>>220739255
>IN NOMINE PATRIS... ET FILII... ET SPIRITUS SANCTI.
>>220739376it's for him
>>220739255>ancient revell model is easily +200€Pain, suffering even
>>220739402>him
>>220739426ah sorry, him/bo
>>220739339One's for controlling the ship, the other for controlling the fighters, and both can act as backup for the other. There's even Earth militaries that do it.
>>220739441>>220739339dumb fucking nerd blown the fuck out
>>220739441>There's even Earth militaries that do it.Not the good ones
>>220739369>>220739375True warships wouldn't have exposed bridges.
>>220739587>True warships wouldn't have exposed bridges.You sure about that?(ok that's the Navigation bridge visible and she does have at least two more Command locations and three more Helm positions)
>>220739255MEESA VENATOR CLASS
>>220739395literally this
>>220739587The galactica would get its shit pushed in by just about any other sci-fi starship.>muh armor and railgunsNo protection against directed energy weapons or beaming nukes onto the bridge.
Literally the best weapon of the Clone Wars. The Empire was retarded to phase them out.
>>220739974I'm pretty sure I saw the empire using them somewhere just with different colors
>>220739974you're based
>>220739865Taller
>>220739395>thas a baaad bongo
>>220739974the lil death star lasers are neat
>>220739974>>220740000The Rebels use them as troop ships in OG Battlefront II.
for me, it's the imperator class titans
>>220739317They're probably angle limited to not be able to turn behind themselves anyway, making it easier to pick independent targets. If the ship needs to broadside another capital ship with all eight guns it can face the target and nose down.The elevated middle section is done in the name of floor space and the ship's top-down profile. While there's immense value in keeping one axis flat because it presents the smallest possible target at certain angles, building up like that instead of spreading the ship further outwards helps to keep its worst-case profile smaller, which is just as if not more important in large engagements, because those are the angles where you'll be taking most of your damage from.All in all it's a decent design and would probably fare pretty well in combat.t. played about 600 hours of the X Universe games
I like the Consular Class myself, especially the put-put noise it makes.
>>220739317The entire forward section is a hanger bay , so if they put the tarts there , there would be power conduits running through the less armored section of the ship.
>>220739255>DUM... DUM DUM>DUM DUM... DUM DUM>DUM DUM... DUM DUM>DUM DUM... DUM DUM
>>220739255I always thougt that this central hangar is some bullshit made up in the clone wars show but then I rewatched ep3 and it really had it
>>220741002Did you not read incredible cross sections?
>>220741052where do they poop
>>220739255Take a Victory-class Star Destroyer. Make it shittier. There's your Venator.
>>220741052>Reactor annihilates up to 40,000 tons of fuel per second
You're telling me those two eye stalks aren't weapons? Fuck that.Also wouldn't those recessed docking ports on the side be a pain in the ass to dock with?What happens if the ship or the dock itself accidentally moves when it's docked? Then your ship is going to get mangled.
>>220739865i look like this
>>220741064>where do they poop>>220741110>Reactor annihilates up to 40,000 tons of fuel per second
>>220741165Incredible concept
>>220741114This is Star Wars, they'd have tractor beams and artificial gravity
Y-wing - DauntlessX-wing - CorsairB-wing - HellcatA-wing - N/A
for me, it's not recognizing the existence of anything after the OT
>>220741064They just staff the ship with Indians so they can poop anywhere
>>220740566Thank you for your service.
>>220740637The sound design of the prequels was so good. I think I went to an exhibition in the early 2000s about how they made sounds. One was an electric shaver in a metal bowl, then messed around with.
>>220739395fpbp
>>220741576Tbh it feels like that's where Lucas' real passion/talent is. Like that opening scene of Episode III with the Jedi ships flying into battle is still one of my all-time favorite sci-fi scenes
>>220740566never met a veteran before
>>220739255A-wing all the way baby
>>220741052>no crew quarters this troubles me
>>220739865Unrealistic, pagoda masts weren't that short
>>220739974ECHenry designed a badass Imperial one
>>220741110>me on the left
>>220739255>>220739974>>220740923>>220741052These are so ugly and aesthetically displeasing, no wonder the prequels bombed, whoever designed these should be taken out behind a woodshed and shot, you'd be hard pressed to find something as ugly in the original trilogy
>>220739865>the ship she tells you not to worry about
>>220739865>Japanese Battleship Kowloon
For me, it's the Fang Class Mandalorian Starfighter, that showed up in one episode of Rebels and nothing else.
For me its the imperial-1 class
>>220740637Yeah, seems like a comfy ship for travelling around the galaxy, dealing with all the stupid petty squabbles jedi get called in for.
>>220743842Only 2 turbolasers?
>>220743842I had one of those in No Mans Sky until the pirate freighters came out. I still kind of miss it.
>>220741491What about the 1978-2014 EU?
>>220739974what are those fat venators in the background? don't remember seeing them before
>>220744276Acclamators, they're the one that can be seen embarking clones on Coruscant in AotC
>>220741463Y-Wing ThunderchiefX-Wing PhantomB-Wing TomcatA-Wing Delta Dart
I like the Executor.
>>220741920the pinto of starfighters
>>220741463A-Wing - ZeroHighly maneuverable but it blows up if you look at it funnyB-Wing - HelldiverThose B-Wing controls would definitely take a while to get used to
>>220739865how do you counter this, realistically?
>>220744379Kamikaze into the tower
>>220739974all the clone vehicle designs were on point
>>220744379run back and forth on the ship, jack sparrow style
>>220744437What's the advantage of having legs instead of tracks?
>>220744489There's a wheeled version
whats a venator without an acclamator ?
>>220744523Shit that actually looks cooler
>>220744489Allows for bigger guns and easier rotation and can even go vertically. Juggernauts are mostly used as transports
>>220744379I know a guy
>>220741534Saar Wars
>>220745678+1 (you)
For me it's movies not made to sell toys to babies.
>>220741110this could never be possible.
>>220739974This one also looks like Jar Jar.
>>220744304They barely show in TCW, I only remember them from the first Ryloth arc.
>>220744437why is so much of the prequel's vehicles and ships so fucking stupid looking
Honestly I like all Star Wars pizza ships.
>>220739441Why would you put the flight tower on the opposite side of the hangar though?
>>220739587Star Wars ships depend on shields for the most part. Heavy turbolasers can slag a planet, armor doesn't last long. The bridge design is usually located at the nexus of all the overlapping deflector shields. The shields aren't a giant sphere the way they are in Star Trek and other Scifi franchises. They are individual curved fields (literally like shields) and a ship has multiple emitters that work to either form that bubble of the protection, or layer them in a few specific directions. So having ship citadel makes sense and isn't the vulnerability you think it is. It also allows for the sensitive systems to be distributed away from each other to prevent concentrated firepower at any one point. Yes, losing the bridge is pretty devastating but all ships do have secondary bridges located elsewhere that could still manage the ship if everything else is online, albeit much more inefficiency and all the senior officers are dead. But if you had engineering, command and control, targeting, sensors, communications and life support all consolidated in just one section that would be too easily a vulnerability to be targeted. So each of those is often located as physically far away from each other in the design to prevent a single point of failure being targeted by the adversary. Yes, everyone points to the Executor's destruction at Death Star II but that was due to Piett wanting to physically shield the Emperor from potentially the concentrated firepower of the Rebel fleet... and subsequently that is exactly what they did. And he was only forced to be put in that position by the Emperor's arrogant plan. And even then, the A wings only got through because of luck, suicidal motivation, and the SSD's orientation (which again was because of forced circumstance). The design is not really at fault at all.
>>220744489Legs can handle certain types of terrain better than wheels.The real question is why use legs or wheels when they have the technology to make it levitate?
>>220746505Yeah that's what I was thinking, but we always see them using legs on desert and ice planets where I'm pretty sure tracks or wheels would be better. Legs seem better for passing through swamps or something where tracked vehicles would sink.
>>220746579Sienar was a mistake
>>220746481Anon, being shot out of the rack will produce a 'falling' effect because of physics. There's no resistance and the bombs will just continue in an arc from which they were flung. Electromagnets aren't constantly on, you can just have a timer.It turns out the idiot wasn't the writers but you, this is highschool level information.
>>220739974
>>220744437>>220744523> legs and wheelsWould no longer exist in the Star Wars universe, as repulser lift technology is so cheep, efficient and ubiquitous that even teenage hillbillies from dirtpoor assbackward Outer Rim planets can afford to have repulser lift craft.Nobody would bother with archaic tech like wheels, let alone awkward legs.
>>220746579Any pics of the TIE fighters with tank tracks?
>>220746923These bad boys? They are based. Maulers is their name but they should be called Mowers
>>220743786Kowloon was Chinese!

>>220739395>Jar Destroyer
>>220747566we have A-wing at home
>>220746143One could imagine that they were designed with several assumptions in mind about the coming war that quickly turned out to be wrong, and the replacement Venators were rushed into production instead. Like, say, the RN battlecruisers which turned out to be glass cannons in major fleet battles, or the Panzer 3 which was practically obsolete the minute it rolled off the production line.
>>220746762
>>220747918It's so damned uglyI love it
>>220746958TIE Crawlers, the ones from Dark Empire
Are you a recusant or a munificent kind of guy?
>>220747954It just works
>how many engines do you want>yes
>>220748093>constant thrust = constant velocity
>>220748023I like the half-open design of the Munificent, it's like the skeleton of some weird sea creature>>220748093Huh. I read about the Mandator III in some EU books back in the day and wondered what it might look like. Turns out it's just an EXTRA THICK star destroyer.
>>220748023The invisible hand might be my favourite ship in all of fiction
I love that Star Wars is just battleships and broadsides in space even if it means it might as well not be in space. When I see "realistic" space warfare and it's just oblong shapes firing from insane distances and nets of lasers with auto targeting that would instantly eviscerate any solo pilot it's just lame. Yeah, space ships broadsiding each other beats them just vaporizing each other from 3000 lightyears away
>>220739841Obviously it makes sense in a naval battle. For space battles where you are 1k+ kilometers from your enemy and visual input is basically useless, it makes no sense.
>>220748145>destoryerIt's a real dreadnought. Think A Subjugator (Malevolence) or Executor. A big boy>>220748185How is it different from a regular providence?
>>220748324I has a wizard tower
>>220748303'Realistic' space warfare can be really fucking cool if it is depicted well, but it takes smart writing, pacing etc. It's more akin to submarine warfare than surface naval warfare, so it's about stealth, tension etc.Broadsides and fighter aircraft analogies in space can be really cool too. Just depends on the tone and the level of realism you are trying to depict as for which works in which franchise.
>>220743842>uncutyikes
>>220748435Wouldn't realistic space warfare just be two ships vaporizing the fuck out of eachother the nanosecond they come into range and whoever has the most lasers wins?
>no love for those fellasaww
>>220739255The Venator is gay, the Imperial is much cooler.
>>220748435>stealth>in empty space where you can see the enemywhat star wars needs is verticallity and ships rotating sideways
>no one has mentioned the Bellator
>>220748518Immobilizer 418 > your basic bitch interdictor
>>220739255>The Republic has proto-x-wings but also proto-star destroyersHow did x-wings become a rebel thing then?
>>220748703Sheev thought he had consolidated power and for a while he was right. He no longer needed fighters or clone troopers but TIE patrols and law enforcers
>>220748703Rebel scum stole them from Incomhttps://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_of_Fresia
>>220747677>repulsorlift jammersOf course...
>>220744324>Phantom more maneuverable than the Tomcat >Delta Dart more maneuverable than either of those LMAO
>>220748502Lasers don't actually have that decent range, although of course you could have insane sci-fi lasers with massive power. More likely before you are in range for lasers, you have been torn apart by long range missiles and drones, and at closer range a railgun might make more sense. Lasers are just underpowered compared to nuclear explosions or matter travelling at relativistic speeds, until you have the aforementioned crazy power level lasers, at which point it's not really realistic anymore.>>220748547Have fun seeing the enemy when they are thousands of kilometers away, their ship is black and they are running in dark mode, not doing burns or anything. Your only hope is active sensors. Having literal windows just makes no sense. Like I say, it would be more like submarine warfare, quiet and stealthy until either you get a ping from the enemy doing some action, or actively ping with your own sensors to try and find them.
