/swg/ Surfs up!

That's a giant booster engine on the back, actually.

Ahh then Id scrap that entirely honestly. I feel at that point it wouldnt be a Z95 anymore

>Season's Dark Greetings
Ah yes, the season for the womenfolk to torture all the men until at least Jan 2nd.
Why can't we just have a holiday that involves beer and guns or something

Dangle some cannons off the wings and it'd be pretty neat

White and Based.

Because Kylie Katana is canon no longer, friendo.
Long live the Empire.
Long live Veers.

*Shot through the heart*

it's all part of the game we call love

Also why is Filoni a bad guy in this

Clone Wars predates the canon wipe

Better than anything Disney's ever made.

>TOR is better then Disney

Please, for the sake of the thread, confine your opinions to /tv/. Or if you hate disney so much, and are bored, have fun at /swco/

Why did the canon change get so many people mad when it changed absolutely jack shit?

You know, they wrote down the rules and told people about them is applicable both before and after, except in BOTH cases nobody sticks to the rules and they don't always tell people about them.

Because Filoni was the scapegoat for the retcons made in TCW, including the changing of the Mandalorian culture from what was previously established.

It traded Michael Stackpole, Aaron Allston, and Matthew Stover for Chuck Wendig.

>Because Filoni was the scapegoat for the retcons made in TCW

All Lucas

Although I kinda like the New Mandalorians.

I just wish Filoni and Pablo would write a 30 page explanation on everything about Mando's currently, from the end of TCW, to Rebels, and then beyond it to TFA.

I'm getting tired of 22 minute episodes that leave more questions than answers

I know it's old news by now, but I'm catching up with Rebels and I was very happy to see the TIE Defender show up. I hope they get some screen time later

>date gatekeeper bullshit

I just got a U-Wing for X-Wing and I have a really autistic question.

Did they change the material for the X-Wing cards? I haven't bought anything since the Imperial Raider and the cards for the U-Wing feel really weird and different.

>stackpole
Battletech fan here, getting started with Star Wars.
Does his SW novels also involve fucking hueg engine explosions?

I'm only really familiar with the Rogue Squadron novels. As far as I can remember, none of the extremely large explosions in those books are explicitly engine-related.

this

From memory there was a lot of bio-weapon stuff in those as the Empire was trying to give humans space-aids

>*non humans

>Does his SW novels also involve fucking hueg engine explosions?

No but they do involved the occasional odd horn dog momemt

>a black man in the resistance
Man thats Ludacris

What's so advanced about this helmet Czerka

Nice pun! But, He's a member of rebellion not the resistance.

It manages to give the wearer a modicum of protection despite not fitting that well.

It has a helmet band you can put something in, like a blaster pack, pack of deathsticks, sabacc card...

It appears to have a flashlight on its chinstrap, which seems like an advanced level of impracticality.

Its a pasgt with a plastic bump helmet put on top, so a +1 at best

How else are you going to see what you're eating after dark?

Czerka Arms is breaking new ground with the ACH-14 Advanced Combat Helmet. it provides a 20% less chance you'll commit a war crime while wearing it.

Wow! That IS advanced technology!

Critics will say that's because its not fitted for Trandoshan skulls, but for some sentients, that's considered a feature too!

Werent they seen in ESB?

Nope, they were made for the TIE Fighter videogame. Never appeared in any movies

Got about 50 dollars yesterday. Should I get a K-wing with it?
I kind of want to use Miranda as a regen wingman for Rey (even though I already have Norra and Poe).

Daily reminder
Wedge Antilles hops around on one transparisteel leg.

So can someone tell me if the fucking Fett's are god damn mandos? I rage a little everytime I think back to them saying Jango is just a fake

Posted pic related last thread and some user said that lancer is dead. Can somebody explain to me how a Star Galleon kills a Lancer? Is that not a Star Galleon?

How is this drifting list? geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel Alliance&d=v4!s!95:15,110,-1,159:14:3:;234:15,44,136,164,165:47:3:&sn=[EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES]

Apparently the New Republic fleet made this new ship "Star Hawk"

They're not. It's not like they said anywhere in the movies that the Fetts were Mandos. People just assumed that because they wore Mandolorian armour that made them Mandolorian.

The Fetts are Mandos.

Also, I just want to see some good old fashioned Mandalorian crusading. Is that too much to ask?

Lancer is a anti-fighter support ship, the Star Galleon is a escort frigate with turbolasers and concussion missiles. Do the math

>Nadiri Mark One Starhawk
was a type of battleship in service with the New Republic Starfleet. Like all the ships constructed at the Nadiri Dockyards, they were constructed from disassembled captured Imperial spacecraft. It was notable for being one of the first class of ships built by the New Republic, through military contract, after the Battle of Endor.

I'm getting mixed signals here

The ship's real. but that's fanart.

The Fetts are only Mandos in the old EU.

And if you want old fashioned Mando crusading, I'm guessing Fenn Rau might be who you're looking for.

So this is what happens when you mix racism with autism, eh?

This is the edgiest shit I've ever seen. And it has Darth Nihilus talk in English so the "artist" clearly doesn't actually know shit about star wars

All I see is autism, bad art, and shit taste in EU material.

I don't think I followed FFG's news quite as religiously last year as I have been this year - does anyone know when they resume posting? After Boxing Day, or are we in a drought now until 2017?

The picture is the autistic part, the caption "White and based" is the racist part.

It's fascinating how wrong that image is. Starkiller is the Shadow the Hedgehog of the SW universe. Cade is controversial at best. Bane is boring as fuck. 1313 Boba Fett has never been canon. And what the fuck is Maul doing here?
Plus the drawings have the same vibe as those old racist caricatures from the early 20th century. It's like watching pic related, but with more autism.

So, Vader's "Choke" line in Rogue One got me thinking, An Un-maimed Ani-Vader would probably make SO MANY bad puns.

I think he meant White uniform but it hardly matters.

Don't really get where the confusion comes from.

In the old EU they were.
In the official content, including TCW they were never meant to be, which is something Filoni talks about in an interview, I think it's about the legacy stuff.
New canon hasn't done anything with Fett yet, but I'm fairly certain he is not anymore, since the word of god by Lucas himself was that he is not.

Puts me more in mind of either a knockoff or possibly a heavily modified derivative built on license somewhere
The lancer's issue is that it has exactly no weapon that can reliably penetrate capital ship armor, and the star galleon does, even if it doesn't have many. The lancer just won't be able to get enough lucky quad hits in before the turbolases and missiles take it apart

>An Un-maimed Ani-Vader would probably make SO MANY bad puns.
Like in the ROTS novelization?

>we were promised a handsome reward
>i am your reward. you dont think im handsome?
>slice

Lancer's have enough quad batteries to wipe out a whole squadron of fighters
The old Galleon, yeah its a slow piece of shit and not exactly a marvel of design when it comes to freighters. But its pretty tough, has enough turbo lasers on it to make pirates go away and if you get close enough (like you'd have to with a Lancer) you will eat its conc missiles and be unhappy.

Exactly.
I'd say the Galleon's a pretty damn good armed freighter.

Its party trick of jettisoning the cargo under its own hyperspace drive was pretty neat, the interior was also designed to repel borders so that's not awful either.
But, they where painfully slow fuckers and when you can't outrun much as a wallowing space truck, chances are you might be in the shit when it comes to a shooting match as well.

Does anyone have more Mad Maxed speeders like pic related? Basically civilian or even military speeders converted into shit you'd see in say.. post-Imperialcalyptic Outer Rim.

Not a real lot

Keep in mind that the Star Galleon was devloped from the original Galleon, which was completely unarmed and a sitting duck for pirates and rebels.

Most SW vehicles are kind of janky pieces of shit anyway, I think a post-apoc scenario probably just means they're a little bit more abused.
I mean, hell, its the outer rim anyway. Nice people stay the fuck out of it unless they're lost or being chased by someone/something even worse

In Rebels Ryder Azadi's strike force had a V35 courier civilian landspeeder with an E-WEB. And there was some sorta technical in the background of one of the Tatooine shots in EP1.

From what I know of they were a replacement for unarmed/underarmed freighters but not designed as an overhaul of any specific ship, they were a new Keel.

>Star Destroyer docked like any old carrier except hovering in the sky
As a Navy brat and Imperial loyalist, this gets me a little hard.

>Found my other folder with janky SW/sci-fi shit in it

...

The Galleon was introduced in Rebellion as a specifically Imperial freighter, but didn't make too many appearances. It had the same problems the Star Galleon was designed to correct: slow and no self-defense.

...

I really love the AT-AP's "Tank Destroyer" type of design, but walkers just don't seem to fit that role very well, I mean sure it could stand up or go belly-down in a depression to pop in and out for firing, but turning to bring the main gun about pretty much REQUIRES the damn thing to stand up and expose itself.

The top-mounted laser/Mass driver sorta helps with that problem, but not much.

Ah, a strange choice of the name since "Galleon" Specifically MEANS a heavily armed cargo ship.

>IG88 about to be date-raped by a Jawa

That's about it from me

Why are WEG ships so damn ugly? It's like they're trying for a Terran Trade Authority aesthetic and failing miserably because they added greebles to make it look Star Warsey.

I haven't noticed anything different. The pegs however have been redesigned. Old pegs won't fit most new ships, and new pegs are really tight on old ships. They're better overall though.

Yes, K-wings are good. Either with Miranda or Warden squadrons kitted out as a bomber. Both do well.

The only Ugly WEG ships I can think of are maybe the Strike Cruiser and the New Republic Fleet modernization project ships.

What about something like this with a mounted machine gun?

You like the ship with the bridge window that covers two entire decks, user?

It would look so much cooler on wheels or as a hovertank. The three leg design looks so awkward and probably couldnt be too effective

More than two, and I believe most of its surface area is a decoy to keep the actual bridge intact a little longer.

Didn't think the Strike Cruiser was too terrible, the Carrack was pretty fucking awful though

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/M'Yalfor'ac_Order Huh, so before the Republic decided to stop Grievous and his campaign to REMOVE HUK they actually used the Kaleesh as a weapon in a proxy war.

Pretty fucked up.

Hovertank you say? How about a Panther III hovertank?

Alright lads, how about this baby? Would it fit the overall SW theme?

>What happens when you are given a job to make a tank into star wars universe and you got yourself an eraser and an old WW2 Tiger 2 tank schematic before you

I don't see why not.

Sounds like he's bucking for a scholarship in Sienar

> an eraser and an old WW2 Tiger 2 tank schematic
Nah more like a What-If WWII schematic and a few moments in MSPaint

We take only the best and brightest! Their minds are resistant to cell death from excessive Glitterstim and alcohol usage.

well the republic is an odd mix of the UN and NATO, it kinda makes sense. Gotta get some realpolitik in my idealism aka free trade agreement.

Trying to come up with some fucked up Uglies for my EotE players to find/fight/loot that aren't the same old Z-ceptor/X-TIE/DYE-Wing etc. The game is set in the classic EU during the Thrawn trilogy.

Anyone got any pics of cool uglies or fighter blueprints i can MSPaint cut-n'-paste together to make uglies?
