Nice cockpit
>>64235207
>maximize landing zone visibility
because cameras dont exist in SW, do they
that cockpit rationale is like putting another steering wheel in the trunk of my car so i can see better when i reverse; oops nevermind i have a camera that pops up in my read view mirror
>>64235207
>searchlight (dazzles enemy)
>dazzles enemy

>they're all standing
>not even rails or something to grab on
This triggered me for some reason
>>64235207
Does every transport get a Captain Phasma ?
What I want to know is why every entry ramp has jets blowing dry ice when moving up and down. The transport does that at the start, and I swear I've seen the Falcon do it, too.
The pilot outfit looks cool, though.
Fucking trash
>>64235670
We are talking about a universe where starship bridges need to be in exposed conning towers
I love all the tech mumbo jumbo they make up
>>64236590
Yeah... that design is one blaster shot from about 40% of available angles away from killing the pilot and fucking over the occupants. A squad of A-wings could tear a few dozen of those things to shreds.
>>64235670
Even if there's no cameras wouldn't the ship's hull just obscure the landing area from that position.
It should be under the ship's belly if they wanted to give the best view to the pilot.
>>64235207
That's a modern APC + WW2 landing barge
Space Hinds were so much better why didn't they go with an updated version of those considering they didn't have any problem stealing every single other thing from the prequels or the OT
>>64236842
Probably because it's an ugly design that doesn't even look like it's from Star Wars.
I guess it reduces the chances of a terrorist hijacking.
>>64235207
Yes, what a totally fanciful and unrealistic design. It couldn't possibly be based on a real type of landing ship.
>>64236903

>>64236903
That's an awful opinion you got there anon
>>64236944
>Flying boats are realistic
>>64236903
>designed by Doug Chiang
>doesn't look like Star Wars
I... I just wish they would once put a CC inside the starship, or the pilot in the middle of the vessel. Give that guy a VR room and physical controls (two handed joysticks, what have you). But I guess that shit would be too much to ask.
>>64237007
>anything about Star Wars is or is even supposed to be realistic
>>64236944
So the First Order are the Allied powers. After the jihadists killed the aging President and tried to establish galactic sharia law the First Order fought back. Makes sense.
>>64236903
Fuck you, gunships were the coolest ship in the PT
>>64237017
Was that chinaman even involved in OT?
Nearly all of his shit looks like average video game designs from some late 90's playstation game.
>>64236944
Landing boats
1. Only move on one plane
2. Can only disembark at the frontier between their domain (water) and something completely unaccessible to them (ground)
>>64237102
Why do you play video games so much?
>>64237063
>I wasn't responding to someone who thought they are
>>64237084
No, the coolest one was the red ship from the beginning of TPM.
And even that one would have looked better grey/white as it was probably intended when Ralph designed it back in the 70's
>>64236944
>>64237063
>Hey look at me guys! Look! You are all wrong about the cockpit design, it is actually realistic!

Because there's no possible way I could be like a different person from the dude he was replying to, that would be impossible
>>64237192
>everything has to be grey and lifeless
Also it's clearly a throwback to the Tantive IV
>>64236944
I like that! Ok...ok add some lasers a roof and some rockets on the back...PERFECT!
I don't see why they couldn't just have these drop ships be remote control from the main ship. Would make more sense than having pilot onboard.
>>64237274
Man I love this thing.
>>64237362
Better yet, why don't they just have astromech droids pilot them
>Each transport comes with a Captain Phasma
>>64237274
It was one of the discarded Tantive designs from McQuarrie IIRC. Or it could have been Falcon, don't remember. And yes grey ships is part of what makes the SW aesthetic. They probably used so much white / whitish colours because RMQ was a former NASA illustrator - NASA craft actually had practical reasons to be white and reflective.
>Crew quarters were reconfigured to include galley as wedding gift for Leia Organa
>>64237007
>Flying machines are realistic
>>64237440
If only, Brienne has no tits whats so ever.
>>64237398
Because droids don't have sooouuuul
>>64237072
>So the First Order are the Allied powers.
No, it's just that America produced the most iconic amphibious landing craft of all time during WW2 in the LCMs such as the "Higgins boat". The Japanese had similar, but much less famous, designs. The Germans had basically fuck-all, which is why they abandoned their plans to invade Britain.
>>64237503
Well yes if they are designed for the purpose
>>64237480
>>64235207
Any more of these? I'm a sucker for technical illustrations.
>>64236155
Ships did it in the OT 'cause it looked cool and it still looks pretty cool so why not keep it up?
>>64237637

>>64237985
Even without the book, the architecture gives it away.
>>64237973
Is that where you live? Looks comfy.
>>64236842Because these could probably not fly in space seeing how many holes are in their hulls, and the First Order has no base of operation on Jakku or on not-Endor's moon from which they could deploy atmospheric flyers[/spoiler}
>>64238281
In the Clone Wars show, the holes are sealed by retractable panels when they deploy in space. Once they're in atmosphere, they open up again. Webm kinda related if I think it's the one I think it is.
>>64237480
>Replacement sensor antenna
As soon as I saw that, I remembered how Lando smashed the old round one off in ROTJ.
I grinned hard.
>>64235207
This actually bothered me a lot,
how did the troopers not fall over while the thing was flying? It was going pretty fast at some points and there were no handles, was there like, magnetic boots or something?
>>64238281
Those doors on the side open and close- letting it fly in spaceThat's how Battlefront 2 did it anyway
>>64236093
No, just the useless ones.
>>64238637
>>64238357
It also has some gaps arround the gunner emplacements under the pilot's cockpit though.
At least it looks that way.
>>64238537
Probably. Their gloves are magnetic.
>>64238537
ultra grip shoes
>>64238637
Tghat reminds me, why do Droid Ships have atmospheres inside? Given the crew are all robotic, they could operate in a vacuum, making it much harder for the enemy to board them.
>>64238537
they put plunger suction cups on their hands and feet
>>64238712
Except we're shown repeatedly throughout the trilogy that they crew ISN'T all robotic.
>>64238712
Short answer is because of the neimoidian operators.
Longer answer is that we only see the ships that have neimoidians aboard. The landing barges probably don't have any life support since they are monitored from orbit.
Shorter answer is because Lucas, lel
Better question yet : why do the federation's tanks have gunners and pilots? Why not make it all automated/drone?
>>64238832
I think that was a design flaw they fixed when the Clone Wars rolled around.
>>64237312
If D-Day taught us anything, it's that you shouldn't put the hatch or door in the front.
>>64238919
Only with the robot tanks. The AAT from episode I was still piloted, Yoda goes inside one and fucks shit up in the first episode of the TV show.
>>64238995
But even Landing Craft today have the front door, because it is the fastest way to exist. If they went out the sides they'd be chest deep in water and could drown if they fall, plus they are a target for longer as they trey to move up the beach.
>>64239023
Knowing the Trade Federation, it was to cut costs and they kept them because it would have been too expensive to replace them.
>>64238995
>we should put doors in the back allowing for bottlenecks
>>64237973
Is that the beautiful city of Bordeaux?
>>64238537
why? why would it bother you? these are fucking spacecraft, the only time you need to strap in is jumping to hyperspace
it's already established that you can stand in every other spaceship
>>64239515
Yeah, but as an example, the LAAT gunships have handles on the top, and the lander ship here has a similar purpose.
The way the troopers were standing as the ship rocked looked like they could fall over at any second, and they were jostled around a bit.
Plus with the falcon later on, the droid was getting thrown about.
Just seemed off.
>>64235207

You do realize Ralph McQuarrie didn't actually design ships in OT? He did characters. Vader etc. He didn't design the X-Wings or Millennium Falcon. He did the concept art for scenes based on designs by somebody else.

In a season one episode, Grievous leads some through an asteroid field, and you can see the bow guns firing. They're no stronger than the smaller turret guns though, pretty disappointing desu. I don't think the animators/writers were as autistic as us to pay attention to these books.

Every single last one of these stormtroopers can be gunned down as soon as the door opens, including the captain.
Is there one for the new First Order Star Destroyer? I want to compare it to the Imperial Class and the Venator Class.
>>64235207
>turret needs Storm Trooper to man it
>that angle or lack thereof
he literally couldn't shoot anything directly infront and the best shooting position would be to the side of the ship but the mounting and design is so shit he's be awkwardly positioned trying to shoot it, that's actually the worst turret positioning i've ever fucking seen
>>64240663
Man, that ship was so forgettable that I can't even remember what it looked like beyond a vague wedge with a humpback thing. Contrast to pic related which was on screen for like 5 seconds, but is still very distinct. The ship designs in TFA were really lacking.
>>64240562
It is, considering the slice in the back is engines and generators
>>64240663
Here you go, a rare Finalizer.
It's ugly as shit and forgettable though.
Not a cross-section but a pretty neat pic
>>64240663
The Finalizer has double the page space for talking about the ship than the other models in the book (four pages instead of two).
Key things that I can remember from it:
>The turbolasers use kyber crystals now to be more powerful, but only on the Resurgent-class
>Resurgent-class has a redundancy for controlling the ship hidden internally to prevent another Executor disaster.
>Design of it took from the Venator and the Imperial classes.
>Resurgant-class is twice as big as an ISD, but only one exists at the time of TFA.
what about Han Solo's big freighter that he scooped up the millennium falcon in, the one where he was smuggling the tentacle aliens?
>>64240817
It does look like the bastard hybrid of a Pellaeon class, a Executor Class and a Imperial Class.
>>64240817
Looks like the result if a star destroyer fucked with a mon Calamari ship

>>64241705
Yeah, I have the book too. Maybe I'll go take a picture of the Y-wing page, but my phone camera is awful and so is my lighting.
>>64235670
They have TV screens showing images, so they'd have to have cameras too.
Also there are industrial vehicles with steering wheels on both sides. Some fire trucks do now.
>>64235670
Han is seen looking at a panel of camera feeds on his freighter in TFA. If a common type of vessel like that can have them, it makes sense that the First Order would be able to use them as well.
>>64240518
requesting >>64240854
>>64236086
Pretty sure they were shown strapped in to seats or standing harnesses during the actual flight. They were only shown standing when the transport was landing so they could make a quick exit. It's like IRL paratrooper transport planes.
>>64240978
The Advanced x-1 is special, it's effectively "Vader's TIE". Making it a standard model diminishes its distinctiveness.
>>64240937
>>64240981
>>64241027
It's a shame they felt the need to have Padme use a different ship in every movie. While all three are very nice designs, it means the Prequels effectively have no equivalent of the Falcon, no singularly iconic transport for the heroes that's practically a character in its own right (even though, as it happens, you only see Han, Luke & Leia all together on the Falcon once, Han isn't seen on the Falcon again after landing at Cloud City until TFA, and only Lando is actually seen on her in RotJ).
>>64241640
Oh and there's one of the Yavin IV temple too
Not making a new thread just for this:
Does anyone have a screenshot or a webm of the scene at the end where the resistance is standing in a group seeing Rey leave in the falcon?
It's got Leia, C3PO, BB8, etc.
I know I've seen it posted here before, but must not have saved it.

>>64242112
Didn't a few x-1s show up in the Endor battle?
>>64242412
Those were Interceptors.
>>64238832
landing barges have a bridge but otherwise are all non-pressurized I think
>>64242412
It's possible they were thrown in there somewhere (I've never noticed them, but there were a lot of TIEs seen there, both during the Emperor's arrival and the battle proper, the model could have been dusted off for it without much notice), but Endor is mostly known for being the place where the TIE Interceptor showed up.

She does spins, which are a good trick. Confirmed Skywalker.
>>64243445
AFAIK they use the regular freighters for business with the droids aboard, because they actually don't take up that much space on the freighter.
the one that got blown up was the control ship, which is why all the droids could think for themselves (limited) in E2/3, because they realized how vulnerable that was
>>64243499
At least Anakin was only decent with droids and at piloting his podracer because he was basically a nerd
Then he got better because he received top tier training by the jedi and the republic, but he still let R2 handle the complicated stuff

Lad pls>>64243577
>>64243577
if you look at this image, I can't find a better one quickly
it shows all the landing craft are stored dissembled in the back hanger, and the tanks are under the floor, star-fighters are hung from racks in the ceiling like TIEs. leaving you with the whole hanger volume for cargo. Multiply over the whole freighter fleet and you've got a lot of droids.
>>64242913
so it uses "seat tractor beam emitters" instead of seat belts to keep her in place? I thought only very large space-faring vessels could use tractor beam technology?
>>64239761

Intimidation and awe factor. When the robot camels were approach Echo Base, it was shaking everything, and ice was falling from the ceiling.
Some poor asshole in a trench staring one of those things down probably had his fillings shake loose.

Better than the tumor-logs that were the Rebel ships in the OT.

Complete locations is the best of all the DK books, because the information and drawings are unmatched.
I remember the best part was a diagram of the entire Coruscant chase from Episode II.

Why would they need to train droids?
>>64243455
There's been a lot of different conflicting diagrams of the millenium falcon because the rooms weren't actually connected to each other.
>>64244348
'guilty pleasure' my ass. These rock
>>64244222
Fun fact: those juggernauts first appeared in the EU and the design was remade for use in the movies.
>>64235207
>Sienar getting more work
I approve of this.
>>64244173
That's the Tales of the Jedi sequel where you go to Rhen Var and meet with Ulic Qel-Droma's ghost.

repulsors can be taken out by Ion cannons, wheels and walkers are immune to this (Ep. 3 ICS, clone Juggernaut page)
>>64244384
yeah I've seen bits and pieces but I want a copy, the clone training facility was cool too, with simulated weather rooms
>>64244440
the droids are disposable, the controllers on ships need to know tactics and strategy
>>64244490
And they showed up in the EU because they were considered to be the vehicles used in the attack on Echo Base before they went with the walkers instead.

I thought it was a modified medium transport?
>>64244331
those were Mon-Calimari designed ships. It seems like you were expecting them to be designed by the same exact humans who designed all the craft used by humans throughout the series. Something only looks like it's "not from star wars" if it's supposed to be from the same faction as tons of more established designs that it looks nothing like. The republic troopers using their "space hinds" with their stupid bubble turrets is a good example of this >>64236842
>>64243796
Dunno about the EU, but in the movie Anakin said he built it from zero. About crushing, that was with Watto's podracer, which was a different podracer.
>>64244073
Man, the V-wing and the Eta7 Jedi fighter were my favourites
>>64244490
>>64244554
New canon also has them at the Battle of Hoth, off screen from ESB.
>>64236093
Only the ones headed for the trash compactor.
>>64237973
looks like the first level of half life 2
>>64237274
I don't know why, but this was always my favorite SW ship.
>>64244581
You could argue that the bubble turrets later inspired the cockpits of TIE Fighters.
>>64237480
Anyone else always hated the Millennium Falcon's design, or at least found it unappealing as hell?
It and the Rebel Cruisers were eyesores.
>>64244673
She seems high as fuck

>>64241238
Do you think Sheev chatted with his guards while they were flying places.
Or is it awkward silence the whole journey?
I'm guessing the latter.
>>64235207
that scene was stupid, a single x-wing could have turned those into coffins if they had been more alert.
>>64244673
it must be incredibly hard to fly with the cockpit being so far on one side it also has like no space for actual freighter work.
>>64244700
She without any doubt was
>>64244650
Really? Why'd you think that?
>>64244673
Nope. I loved it as a kid. I made one out of a quarter and some stickers and used to play with it daily. I never understood way the called it a hunk of junk in the movies. I thought she was beautiful.

so, is captain phasma's armor issued by the first order? or is it personalized? where are the other chromed out captains? are the others allowed to have different armors or does phasma has some kind of privilege over the rest?
>>64237982
Does anyone have the whole page?
>>64244772
It doesn't really have any space for engines or anything else either
It's basically a space recreational vehicle
>>64244673
Tantive IV is a QTTFW can't stop calling it the Tantive I-V instead of Tantive 4 because tiny me didn't know roman numerals
>>64244835
phasma is a big girl.
she was supposed to be the 'TRAITOR! SPIINNING ELECTRO SWORD' person against Finn but was changed last minute
I guess they'll explain it i the next movie. She seems like a high-commander of some sort
>>64244816
>that one female in jabbas palace was a slave

>jabba was a criminal
>now every hutt is a criminal
EU was always stupid. They took one aspect of them in the movies and made them the defining chracteristic of the entire race.
>>64244835
Someone posted her page. IIRC her armor is coated with the silver metal from palpatine's personal shuttle. So it's been personalized to show how hard she needs Sheev's cock.
>>64244868
This would appparently be a stock YT-1300
>>64244764
It's a DROP SHIP. TIE fighters will engage any air threats first. This thing comes in to land afterwards, and the cockpit always faces up.
>>64244673
The rebel ships are supposed to look like clumsy pieces of shit compared to the menacing and aesthetically consistent Imperial ships because it makes the Rebels' victory seem more potent.
David vs Goliath, etc.
>>64244673
>It and the Rebel Cruisers were eyesores.

>>64240622
>It Ain't Meesa starts playing
>>64244914
I'm not buying any of that since most people still think that the Rebel fighters looked cool. The ROTJ design guys were most likely being lazy.
>>64244919
A Captain heads a battalion. Pretty sure they got more than one of those. She should've been a colonel or major. "Major Phasma" sounds kind of cool.
>>64244816
to be fair its explicitly referred to as a medical frigate in the movies, but that's just that specific ship the Redemption, the general type called a Nebulon B is a standard escort frigate and there are quite a lot of them
>>64244290
Is that the one where you could unlock a survival mode where you could play as the tank or the walker and it had co-op?
I played that survival mode for hours, there was a cave where you could boost up a wall and be basically untouchable for all the early waves to cheese your way through the start, until spider-droids and shit started appearing.
>>64245004
They looked cool but they still looked kinda clunky compared to TIE's. Especially Y-wings, they looked almost like parts of their fuselage were outright missing
>finn and rey are running away from tie fighters bombarding jakku
>her ship gets exploded
>ok we'll take the garbage
>camera pans to the falcon
post your fucking face.
>>64245004
for one thing, the rebel ships are cool as fuck and you gay if you think otherwise, even Tarkin said they were the epitome of engineering beauty, and for another the models are astoundingly difficult to vacuform so they certainly were not being lazy, they were meant to be ovoid and organic to contrast with the angular and industrial empire
>>64245051
That's because the Y-wings in the movies are stripped down and heavily modified.
>>64244917
I like these ships. The tumours probably get built over damaged bits so they're like scar tissue. Works really well for the more organic angle.
>>64240290
I really like the Acclamator-class. It and the Gladiator are my two favorite SDs.
>>64245051
I don't have the cutaway on hand but basically Y-wings are supposed to look like this, maintenance engineers were just tired of removing the plating every time they had to maintain them (which was basically all the time) and simply stopped putting them back on
>>64244893
>Someone posted her page
do you have it?
apparently her armor is naboo royalty chrome. perhaps phasma is nubian?
>we went from sleek, intimidating gunships bristling with gun pods; to this bland, shitty, rectangular box
I could make a better design with Legos.
Pro tip: it's the wingspan that gives ships their appeal.
>>64244917
I like their design but where are the weapons. With the Star Destroyers you could guess where they are and they had a couple towers on each side but the rebel fleet capital ships look entirely weaponless.
>>64245141
In the EU it's explained that Mon Calamari build all their ships to be unique, partially as an artistic thing and partially to keep people from knowing their weak spots, and as a result the rebel technicians of all the other races fucking hate working with their ships a lot.
>>64245151
The Gladiator never appeared in the movies though. A lot of the best designs were in the Eu and now are questionable, like the Interdictor or the Tector.
>people hating on y-wing
>people hating on based rebel ships
I should throw all of you out of the airlock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTNPYjZAjqQ
>>64245225
interdictor shows up in Rebels, it's canon again
Let's settle this:
http://strawpoll.me/6398363
>>64245051
>Especially Y-wings, they looked almost like parts of their fuselage were outright missing
that's because they are, that's the point
>>64245004
The Y-wings had a bunch of exposed wiring and guts and stuff. X-wings had a little too but I'll give you them and the A-wings though.
Let's not even mention the B-wings.
>>64245086
>garbage
I should slap that hoe right there
>>64245297
I'm glad of that, I loved the design. Sadly we don't have Thrawn to use them correctly.
>>64245231
I just wanted to make myself a chart which OT rebel ship I like the most but I can't, I like them all
>>64245313
That's the Empire at war cover isn't it?
Good taste anon
>>64245213
In Battlefront (Dice), they just hover around in the skybox, and you see red laser blasts emanating from them occasionally towards star destroyers in the skybox.
In Battlefront 2 (not Dice) they actually put turret pods of various sizes on them that could be destroyed.
I also wonder why Mon Calamari ships seem to be the most prominent. They have Corellian Blockade Runners, but basically everything else is fish tech.
I wish we could see some capital ship battles in Episode VIII with new types of Resistance ships.
>>64245371
I got that game in the Steam Sale, but could never get the Mods to work.
>>64245371
There are so many good fucking mods for that game.
>>64235207
>The cockpit is a small section sticking out of the top completely exposed
Well at least they're making it easy for the rebels with advanced targeting.
>you will never have your capital city as a tree
>>64245313
N-1 starfighter and the ARC-170 are my shipfus
>>64245213
you cant see it in the tiny picture I posted but many of the bulges conceal batteries of turbolasers
>>64245313
Dude come on I can't pick both. If I had to be honest the Starfighter is my favorite star wars ship
>>64245213
I don't think there are any
>>64245423
advanced targeting doesn't seem to exist in Star Wars its WWII in space
>>64245313
>PT winning
I'm surprised. I tend to like the OT vehicles more, but I really love the Separatist ships from the PTs. They just look so different from anything else.
>>64245086
Fucking fan service man.
There were probably like 8 times I groaned during the movie, that was one of them. It was so fucking predictable too.
>>64245471

No love for Lando's Orgy-Barge?
It was in the clone wars cartoon, so it's cannon.
>>64245928
>>64245943
I'm so shocked that I don't even know what to write, it feels like discovering a whole new life.
I mean, is it fanfic or cannon, was it planned while they designed ANH Y-wings?
>>64240362
not true in the slightest
>>64235207
Gotta love how hard they try to make the technologies seem realistic and advanced, with their ion drive thrusters and ion collision bars and yet you got space ships flying through space like there's aerodynamics in there, doing sharp turns and perpetually accelerating and it makes me cringe every time
>>64246334
what is realistic about ion drive thrusters
>>64246334
>you either go hard or soft scifi
flog off.
>>64246137
It doesn't really have anything to do with ANH other than that Y-wings were suggested to be pretty much ancient relics from the last war, and that they used to have larger degree of armored covering, but those Clone Wars designs weren't developed until like 2009-2010 for the show, which is most certainly canon.
>>64243176
they planned to use river barges to do sealion you STUPID FUCK
>>64246334
Hard sci fi isn't fun to watch.
>>64246377
They exist. NASA used ion drives on at least one satellite that I know of.
They're not going to be shooting you around like a TIE fighter, they're like the more low acceleration over a long time side of propulsion.
>>64246844
NASA uses ion drives because they don't require nearly as much fuel
