Momonip 26 Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Looks like some kind of local system surveillance ship? I don't hate it.. At least it's not absurdly big like the new trilogy ships. Edit: Well I hope it's not. Design looks like it'd be better Arquittens size Edited February 18, 2018 by Momonip 1 GrandAdmiralCrunch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I agree with the people on reddit (never thought I’d say that...), looks like some tractor beam projectors, and could be that they are the cause the falcon loses its panels 1 GrandAdmiralCrunch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Momonip 26 Posted February 18, 2018 Yeah I think they're right. Looks like hangar bays next to 2 of the dishes. The more I look at it the more I like it 1 Visovics reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norell 1,198 Posted February 21, 2018 This is actually based on the very first concept art for the ISD... The thougt is rather disturbing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its almost as if they are always pulling from old concept art to try and have it look Star Wars. It might be nice if they had George there for like a day or two to pick out the art for the ships he liked for the roles the people were looking for or something rather than just recycling stuff.

It is understandable as their own designs fail miserably and they have no originality whatsoever. Except the U-Wing which makes no sense but looked cool at least. Raddus? An MC80 on steroids. First Order Stsr Destroyers? All look ridiculous and the only thing they can show off with is that they are bigger than anything.

I actually like the design of the bomber from TLJ, if only it was practical and not prone to exploding from even the slightest touch. Fun fact, did you know that the whole bomb chute part of the ship is somehow a clip that can be released so that it can land normally? But yea, most of the designs have been sort of meh. Really, it wouldn't hurt to go into the EU's catalog and look at what people loved and like and then either repurpose that or use that as a source of inspiration, at least it wouldn't be pulling from the OT rejected concept art. I know not everyone likes the prequel ships, but I felt they still looked Star Wars but were their own thing way more than what we see coming out now. Which is part of the reason that I wish they would just get Lucas or the like to give a little bit of assistance on picking good looking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Nebulon C looked dumb, but the Bunkerbuster (corvette?) looked good when it wasn't being blown apart after running out of fuel. I liked the Profundity.

The long fin which the bridge is situated at the end of? That long fin? We were discussing it at our LGS on wednesday and we figured it being mon cal, the fin was a keel, to keep it stabilised when it was set down on/in the water on mon cals homeworld (which i just realised i cant remember the name of) https://goo.gl/images/5z54D4 homeworld: mon cala....... so simple, soo obvious Edited February 23, 2018 by DrakonLord Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norell 1,198 Posted February 23, 2018 Sure it was a keel, I don't doubt it. But why would you place the bridge to such an exposed place? Basically anything that hits the ship between the main hull and the bridge threatens with complete loss of control of the ship. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like the Vakbeor-class cargo frigate if it, like the MC85, wasn't so absurdly underarmed for its size and role. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
