Hey Veeky Forums, I found pic related at a local scrapyard and got it for a steal. The Jawa who sold it to me knows a guy who'll fix it up like new for a few credits.

I don't know a whole lot about classics. How'd I do?

good luck not spinning it out into an embankment

A-wings are fucking deathtraps

>buying from a Jawa
You fucked up pretty bad.

>average a-wing pilot

How many parsecs will it take to do the Cessel run?

>this actually happened

you can't pick up chicks in a single seater.
dieing alone: the starfighter.

Aren't those things really unreliable?

I think the dirty Jawa just wanted you to keep coming back for parts, user.

Anyway, I heard sand people like to steal those. Good luck.

>A-WING PROJECT..... 200000 CREDITS NO TOYDARIANS... I KNOW WHAT I GOT...MATCHING SERIALS NO RUST... A REAL CLASSIC.... RAN WHEN LANDED

just get a used tai at auction, replace the panels with blaster holes and paint it so the rebels don't give you trouble. Retrofitting a hyperdrive is the easiest thing in the world as well.

>trusting Jawas

This is where you fucked up OP

Chicks? You're worried about chicks? What chicks are you going to pick up, man?

Had an A-wing for about 3 months, until the hyperdrive actuator crapped out on me. Had to order an aftermarket one from the dagobah system.

>buying aftermarket hyperdrive from a system with one dead jedi living in it

Wew lad

>buying from a swamp planet

Enjoy your rust

>system with one dead jedi living in it
>one dead Jedi living in it
>dead Jedi living

you sure about that, user

A parsec is a unit of distance, did Star Wars really make this mistake?

Yes.

lmao at you poorfags buying "used" i.e. crashed A-wings from desert nigger Jawas.

Daily reminder you will never afford a vintage N-1 like me.

Stay poor. Stay mad.

"Vintage" just a hipster term for used.

I'm sure the retcon means that the kessel run gets close to a black hole, so the closer you get the more dangerous it is.

>vintage N-1
>wanting a ship from a planet that was barely able to defend itself
It's like you hate yourself.

No landing strut kickers

>he's mad that his shit-triangle A-wing will never get him the SUCC from a hot Twi'lek

Alien grills love shiny N-1's senpai. Step it up.

>thinking I'd fly a shitty A-wing
Nah man, B-wing is where it's at. Who needs a shiny N-1 to impress alien grills when you've got the power of one of those?

t. Space Itsuki

originally the line was supposed to be han trying to bullshit two desert hicks, but yeah there's some eu explaination along those lines

>itt: poorfags and geriatric fucks

The closer you can get to the event horizon, the faster you go. Not a mistake, that particular YT-1300 can get closer than anything else, so its the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

From the script
>HAN: It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs!
>Ben reacts to Solo's stupid attempt to impress them with obvious misinformation.

>no shield
>no hyperdrive
y-yeah good choice

>not having an external hyper ring
>Sacrificing performance for unnecessary add ons
Maybe you'd feel differently if you could actually pilot

Shoulda just bought an x-wing for 3k

this
i'd almost rather try to make a deal with the Hutts

>not being friends with benefits with a cute lite blue twi'lek

you gay bro?

Guys I just made some serious BANK from selling a few death sticks, but I need a cheap quick starship. Any suggestions? Oh and anyone wants some death sticks?

>He did not contact Mr. Solo first before buying this shit-ship

fuck that
last time i met with Han he got me drunk and raped my bank account at the sabacc table
he had to of been cheating...

would podracers be like /dbt/

>tai

Ah yes, the twin aon ingine.
Kys

no that's the swoop/speederbike thread

podracers are the morgan 3 wheelers of star wars

>salvage A-Wing

Jesus christ, if you can't buy quality like pic related then don't fucking bother.

Aww yeah, I just picked up this bad boy for dirt cheap

Gotta love old school luxury

>all this A-wing shit talking
Sounds like a bunch of noships to me.
Th Awing is crazy fast and has hyperdrive. Not to mention excellent handling and reliability

Just get a Y-wing.

>pigfat
>slow
>lolcantturn

Just ride a Bantha, OP.

Perfect piece of shit to die in.
Get that Kuat Shit Engineering out of here
Fucking Sienar Fleet master race FTW

>tie interceptor
How's that slow piece of shit treating you?
Hows that pressurized flight suite?
Hows no shields?
Hows no hyper drive?
Fucking poorfags

>geriatric fucks
Those are older than a wings you dumb fuck

Top kek

Sienar fangirls BTFO

>slow
Not bypassing power from artillery for boost
>pressurized flight sweet
Not needing "muh comfy ride" and taking it like a man
>shields
Wanting to live long and not die fast like a real pilot
>hyper drive
Pfft that's why you have a fucking carrier for.
3/10 you got a reply at least. Here's your (You)

Redvsblue

Uh, I think that might be a fighter of some sort. You'll want to go to for the specifics, but unless you're loaded you're never going to be able to maintain that; starfighters cost a small house to maintain for every hour you fly them.

you want to go home and rethink your life

I guess you're right man. I'll go home and rethink my life.

Damn nice pick up OP, its faster then those TIE Interceptors AND comes with hyperdrive standard. Judging by the blue paint, it is was also used in the early part of the rebellion.Make sure you can handle the speed though

Hyperdrive in a ship that eats fuel like a Hutt eats a dinner. Have fun dying out in space.

hello? Is this thing on? it is!?! WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THAT!??!

Ahhem

Hi, I'm Watto, has your hyperdrive become hyperjunk?

Is your speeder not as speedy as it was when you traded it for 3 bantha?

Does your J-Type 327 Nubian need a replacement T-14 Hyperdrive generator?

THEN COME ON DOWN TO CRAZY WATTO'S STARSHIT, ahem, I mean STARSHIP PARTS EMPORIUM!

YOU NEED IT, WE GOT IT!
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY, IF WE DON'T HAVE IT YOU DON'T NEED IT!

SO COME ON OVER TO TATOOINE, WERE LOCATED IN MOS ESPA SPACEPORT.

DONT TRUST THOSE JAWAS THEY SELL JUNK, AND THEN RUN OFF IN THEIR SAND CRAWLERS TO NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN!

YOU CAN TRUST WATTO! *Wink*
ALL MY PARTS ARE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE AND COME WITH A TWO DAY WARRANTY!?!

WHEN I SAY WE CANT BE BEAT I MEAN WE CANT BE BEAT!

BRING IN YOUR BROKEN PART AND WE'LL GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT ON A NEW ONE!

DON'T WANT YOU OLD JUNK? WATTO WILL GIVE YOU A FAIR PRICE!

SO REMEMBER, IF YOU'RE IN NEED IT'S WATTO'S INDEED!

LOCATED ON TATOOINE, MOS ESPA SPACE PORT!

THATS IN THE OUTERRIM, ARKANIS SECTOR!

MY PRICES ARE CRAZY LOW, SO GET HERE SOON!

Phew, hopefully they fell for that bullshit.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WERE STILL RECORDING!?!?

Apparently they killed his entire family later though so that was a bit rough, but oh well.

THE EMPIRE DID NOTHING WRONG

Teemtofags stay btfo

Will they ever recover

>A Wing

more like Gay Wing

But they have lousy crash ratings, not to mention he'd have to wear a spacesuit everywhere. It's a proven design though I guess. Very minimalistic and high performance. I wouldn't buy a used one. Lots of black people tend to beat on them and/or crash them into fucking desert

>Lots of black people
Theres like ten of them in the whole galaxy

>N-1guy is GS400guy

>noships
Help me I'm dying over here

Are hyperdrives the LS of our galaxy?

No more than any other engine- the only trait the two share is their necessity for rapid locomotion.

>tfw the best I could afford was a beater Y-wing

Swap in the drivetrain from a small carrier. You'll need hardened mounts.

Thanks for the tip, that'd actually make for a pretty good sleeper.

It's me, JLP, here at warp 9 and the future to embarrass you fuck boys.

Behold my P Diddy-style luxury party yacht me and my crew roll thru the galaxy fucking all kinda alien bitches in.

/dbt/ where yah at??
Just picked up one of these bad boys since you all suggest getting something small for begginers.

Just you wait till i get a proper wheel bike

Forgot pic

Superior imported Colonial technology coming through!

The only 3000 credits X-Wings are those stanced podrace wannabe buckets with the s-foils welded shut.

The Awing is probably the most Veeky Forums starfighter. Some of Veeky Forums might go for the TIE because
>dat sound
but A-wing is superior to most of the Sienar line.

>all of these noships bench-speeders shit talking the classics
Disgusting

One day you'll be old enough to have a family and then you'll end up with one of these space mall crawlers and a bunch of annoying rugrats in the back seat singing May Rebo's greatest hits.

ok kiddies
the kessel run is basically an illegal sprint through imperial controlled space
being able to make the run in a short distance is a sign of skill because it requires the pilot to be able to navigate tightly controlled imperial space

>MUH PROGRESSIVE DESIGN
scust

VIN check says decompression damage, enjoy your yard ornament

>mandalorian design
>progressive
what are you smoking?

The classic Mk I and Mk II were ok. Simple, effective, you needed to know how to handle them to fly them right.

But what the fuck is with the Mk III?
Computer rich pieces of shit, one fucking disposable Raider comes near and the whole vehicles fucking network goes down.

Old ways are best.

Now THIS is superior engineering!

Sure, its meant for short range, and it can't do light speed, but its perfectly balanced. The driver is closer to the center of mass so he doesn't feel the effects of sharp turns.

And this fucker can turn on a dime!

>implying you won't get put on an imperial watch list just for talking about those

>X-Wing
>3k credits

Congratulations, you bought a headhunter with an extra pair of wings glued on. Fucking Alliance fan boys really are retarded

How hard is it to restore a belbullab 22 starfighter?
I've changed hyperdrive fluid before

Wasn't there also a black hole or something somewhere along that run

Basically you're cutting corners you really ought not to be cutting if you care about your ship

easy as fuck breh
only about 250 credits and an afternoon and your done

>250
Lol. Be realistic, 500.
