mazz0 2,910 Posted April 25 ... please do the version with the big long hanger door, and do it with the doors open! That would look soooo cool, and also reflect their role as carriers (I’d happily buy a variant with the doors closed too, but I’m an idiot). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I read most people were guessing Acclimator for Core Set, which I’m guessing would mean Venator in Wave 2, and W2’s not planned till Q1 next year, so I’d guess its design isn’t set in stone yet, I wasn’t really serious mind you, I doubt FFG care what I think (and obviously I’m going to buy a couple regardless - although I’d buy more if there were closed and open variants)! 😛 2 Captain_Nemo and Flengin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumbleduke 810 Posted April 26 I find the long hangar doors on Venators a bit frustrating. They designed this carrier-based starship, with massive hangar doors on the sides, a smaller one at the front, a big hangar opening going downwards, and on many of them a hangar door on the top. And then they just decided to make the whole top part open up instead of using any of that... It comes across as someone designing the ship at the concept art level, and then someone later in production coming along and saying "hey, let's make the whole top part be giant, impractical doors, that would look neat if completely different from anything we've ever seen in Star Wars ship design, particularly Star Destroyer stuff." 4 1 mazz0, Gilarius, flatpackhamster and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except the SSD though... 1 gounour reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broadside guns on the triangle would actually make sense if they followed the slope of the triangle and placed further forward of the bridge, then they could fire forward with all guns and with greater arc coverage..

mazz0 2,910 Posted April 26 (edited) Well I mean the whole triangular shape with distinct tops and bottoms doesn’t really make sense in 3D space, rather than on a plane. Nor do windows when screens and holograms exist. So the bridge is of course absurd. Edited April 26 by mazz0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
