Favorite Designs: Ships
Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
Venator. I just love it. At least out of the four choices.

The Y-wing was my favorite fighter.

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
I gotta show some love for the X-Wing.. it looked lonely. I like it because it seems a bit like the Tomcat, the go anywhere, do whatever is needed and survive fighter. Or maybe even the Corsair, after the kinks were worked out, it became a fantastic all-around aircraft.

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
I would love to have a VenStar packed with X-wings and B-wings.

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
Can i include another ship?
ARC-170, B-Wing and TIE Defender not necessarily in that order.

Let us not forget the precursor to the X-Wing

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
Looks like the Millennium Falcon is winning. While its a nice ship, I can't place it as the best of SW.

I rather suspect it is being chosen as best for sentimental reasons alone.

The B-Wing is a great fighter.

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
I like both Star Destroyer options but they're very conventional in their design. They're great designs for a warship, one of the best I've seen in Sci-Fi but they don't have the wow factor to me of the B-wing's design. In an era where we're still designing star fighters that look like conventional fighters today it's a stand out.

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
The ISD doesn't have a "wow factor"?

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
Yes I did, and it's iconic. However the design of the ship itself, what's at question here, is excellent but nothing that's really revolutionary.
Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
It's not the topic here but i like that fighter from Lost in Space with the vertical orientation and distribution of weapons similar to the B-wing but with spherical cocpit in the middle and stand up pilot wich reminds me the Starfury from B5.

Re: Favorite Designs: Ships
That was one of the upsides to Lost in Space, the other being Lacey Chabert.
