I could never get into the design of this thing.
Even as a kid, the asymmetry of the cockpit being off to the fucking side made it impossible for me to enjoy the toys.
What a terrible design.
Austism general?
It's a piece of junk!

Where are the beds?
Also why if "Can make the kessel run in 12 parsecs" is a thing, then why in TFA is light speed instant travel.
Rey's journey to Luke was in real time and was around 30 seconds.
It's like cars. Why isn't the driver in the middle?

Holy shit I never noticed this before. Fuck now I hate this ship.

>>64328621
No really.
Why if something is lauded for its speed, do we have light speed on ships that make travel almost instantaneous?
>>64328410
In the blu-ray extras they show how it came to be.
George wanted a ship that looked like a burger and the designers just kept adding stuff to make it really dense.
Also the cockpit is weird because it was initially planned to fly vertically but that was dropped.
>>64328695
>George wanted a ship that looked like a burger
Why is this so funny?
>>64328410
would freighter from coruscant have the cockpit on the opposite side?
>>64328736
George was hungry and wanted to make a deal with one of the fast food franchises
I agree with OP and Luke. The Falcon was always piece of junk.
Symmetrical starships were the best starships.
>>64328410
that's weird, I always thought the cockpit was between the pyramids, in order to be protected you know
>>64328410
asymmetry over the y-axis bugs me as well OP. Dunno why.
That being said, childhood nostalgia makes me forgive the Falcon
>>64328410
Do you scream into your diaper at night so the neighbors can't hear you?
>>64328821
Symmetrical ships work great in-atmosphere, but GOAT sci-fi ships are asymmetric and non-aerodynamic because they fly in vacuums, and typically space ships don't have to worry about their size/dimensions due to space being fucking goddamn enormous
>>64328410
>What a terrible design.
isn't it supposed to be shit?

I always assumed it was humongous because it need a lot of stuff to reach light speed.

It's a mass-produced ship, the original (Corellian YT-1300) were shitbox freighters, Lando did the equivalent of ricing out a volkswagen van with the power of a bugatti veyron
>>64329119
Fucking never reply me to unless again contributing you're the to thread.

Engines still have to be centered so even in vacuum symmetry is better, but at least it doesn't need to be aerodynamic.

There was some later explanation about the Kessel run being the smuggling of drugs from a certain planet into a major hub.
You pick the route, the longer the route the more you might get caught, but the shorter routes are heavily patrolled so you get the same problems.
Basically saying he had the balls to roll right past the space cops with a trunk full of cocaine and get away with all his product.

They're always getting chased by tie fighters, having to fly through asteroids. Speed is still needed, plus the warp drive needs to warm up.
>>64329419
That's apologist bullshit. They chose "parsecs" because it has "sec" in it, and it sounds foreign.
>>64329467
Sec, as in like sectors? Cry more autist
How can you hate the Falcon?
That's like hating an orgasm.
>>64329616
that picture
to be honest I've always felt the same way.... I like the way some of the other ships (made by the same company that initially built the falcon's hull).
then again as I've grown older I've found myself more and more annoyed by how much fucking VTOL there is and how it's always such a fucking cop-out by the designers... who (in film, or video-games, or even pen-and-paper/tabletop games) seem to have a strong phobia against runways or landings strips.
>>64328410
>What a terrible design.
Quite the opposite - the asymmetry enhances that thrown together quality that sets it apart. Your fixation of symmetry says more about your own hang-ups than about the design itself.
>>64328524
If it matters it's in the middle. Don't you F1?
Lambda and Theta class shuttles are the best.
>>64330011
>and briefly in the Prequel Revenge of the Sith
Wait, what? When?
It's great that they put so much care and detail into a CGI model like that though.
>>64331381
Boring.
It's a classic dish-UFO crossed with commercial loading equipment.
The one we see is a riced up smuggling ship, but the front end literally looks like forklift prongs, like they'd nose it into a port and start loading crates through that central opening. The offset cockpit is to aid that kind of narrow maneuvering instead of regular flight.
That's why even in the movies they think it looks like shit.
>>64331479
it's docking into a spaceport in the background in one shot

The shorter routes get you eaten by black holes. The shorter the route, the more black holes you have to get close to.

That was kind of the point. The ship's a piece of junk.

>>64328410
that freighter design can also have the cockpit on the other side or even in the middle. you may be able to emulate this with the lego sets or even modifying a model.
my dream mod for this freighter would be to have the cockpit in the middle and then the have weapon pods on either side (where the cockpits are usually located) and have them disguised as something else.
>>64335147
false
re-watch attack of the clones. boba fett has to lie down when getting into the cockpit seat.

And so the faster you have to go.
>>64329199
>Engines still have to be centered
no they don't, thrust has to be centered. You can have engines off center as long as you compensate the thrust accordingly.

After Anakin and company crash land the ship on coruscant, they take a shuttle to the senate. As the shuttle approaches, the Falcon pops up on the bottom of the screen

Artificial gravity makes down always down though.
>>64328510
well, as parsecs are a unit of measuring distance, it actually makes even more sense in your logic
>>64328510
Considering it's all made up fantasy nonsense, I see no reason why a parsec can't be a unit of time in this mary sue universe.
>>64337143
artificial gravity isn't needed when you're on a planet and there's real gravity

Han rounded between black holes and ran the Kessel Run by a road no one had before.
ayy
>>64328736
Cus you're same fagging
>>64330011
So they basically just went with the original design? Wow, I'm really surprised by their lack of creativity....
>>64337285
it's the same ship

>I could never drive anything where the driving position is off to one side
>>64331381
Looks cool, but as far as space travel goes it makes little to no sense to have those wings jutting out. They serve no purpose. Just extra weight in space.
>>64337377
go watch star trek faggot
>>64337377
>weight in space
>>64337352
Made by the same fictional shipbuilding company.
>>64337414
>literally being pedantic
Make way for the coolest big ass ship
>>64337414
Mass then, sorry, I may be drunk a little and weight seemed to work in that sentence. I obviously meant mass. The thrust of the engine is working against the total mass of the space craft. Air resistance is negligible considering space, and the space dust is also negligible (unless ftl somehow factors that shit in). So the wings are pointless. They just add more mass and reduce distance traveled by the space craft.
Though if you want to get into a conversation about space and air craft then maybe it makes sense. But Star Wars never seems to make an effort to take into account the differences between space and air flight (ie. Millennium Falcon out running tie fighters on a desert planet).
>>64337404
I don't appreciate it's overall message, though obviously it does space flight better.
>>64337475
There is nothing cool about this.
>>64337655
I thought it was cool
i-it's all geometric and stuff

>>64337777
Nice get, but your ship looks like Battlestar Galactica crossed with a Halo, rendered in 2004.
>>64329160
So is dashs ship the outrider the basic design? Or is that one custom as well
IN THE NEXT MOVIE, THEY SHOULD BLOW UP THE FALCON, AND CHEWIE BUILDS THE MILLENIUM FALCON 2, WITH CURRENT TECH AND JACKED WEAPONS, NEW HYPERDRIVE THAT CAN MAKE THE KESSEL RUN IN 2 PARSEX
>>64328410
You know what is funny OP. Just last night I was thinking the same thing. That the pilot would have to have an acquired ability to ensure he cleared on the left. And some of the flight sequences, especially in TFA shows even more why that little bitch could not fly it as she did. She woulda rammed the left side into the 1st solid object of size as she tried to navigate past or through, around..whateva.
Odd to see this thread now. Still, ship is cool. I mean, it is the fucking Millennium Falcon, the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 fucking parsecs.
>>64329160
Lucas was probably inspired by the custom hotrods that bootleggers would make to look stock from the outside
Is a parsec a measurement of time or distance?
>>64338181
It is a measure of distance
I presume just like climbing a mountain there is more than 1 route some dangerous others long, perhaps the kessele run has numerous obstacles and declaring you made it in short distance rather than time is indicating you have the skill to cut through otherwise impassible routes.
>>64328821
Tie fighters are such a shit design for fighters, the wings obscure half of your field of view
>>64338181
Distance is time
>>64328410
>kessel run
>12 parsecs
Cry some more, bitchface.
>>64338597
congrats, you are catching on to the fact the EMPIRE MADE SHIT. The AT-ATs you can defeat with string, the Super Star Destroyer you can defeat by shooting at a convenient big ball on the top of the ship, and the Death Stars all have convenient tunnels to the spot you can blow them up.
So, What is the problem? Every car has the driver to the side. Big fucking deal. I guess you think the movie is 1/10 as well. Imdb ultra fags everywhere.
>>64328410
autism speaks
I love the design, but I could never Play Star Wars and imagine flying the Falcon with the cockpit not being centered. I would keep pivoting off the front right. Likewise Tie Fighters feel like they would just tumble and fly everywhere at random in my imagination.
>>64337475

Like in second. It's parallax-second whatever it means I still don't understand. It's a measure of astronomical distance, and apparently it only makes sense for observing things from Earth.
>>64329419
It doesn't really make sense because it's a non-answer. It's not answering how fast it is, what if it only could travel this distance at turtle speed? Either way, it's a very specific advantage that might not be as useful in normal areas.
>>64339401
Well, the empire Phased them out very quickly, when they got hold on the Interceptors
>>64339782

Btw, why did the First order only use Tie fighters, if there were a lot of different models available?
Credits apparently were not a problem.

This is stupid as fuck. He can pull numbers out of his ass, but at least use the right units of measurement when bullshitting.
