https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Deathraven "what if we just stuck two B-Wings together at the cockpit" i love the dumb crazy ships that are just hideously overgunned and overengined and basically exist because one guy had a pile of money and wanted to be the hell dude

slugthrowers come in literally two varieties in star wars -mundane-rear end normal guns -horrible warcrimes that somehow combine a molecular disruptor and a railgun to blow through armor, personal shielding, solid walls, and innocent bystanders

Six-Of-Hearts posted:General Grievous' fighter thing was neat, like a 1920s/30s race plane They used this thing as the CIS bomber in Classic Battlefront 2. It's a rad design.

They kept him busy. One of the ongoing things in Clone Wars is Anakin being EXTREMELY possessive of his ships, even random garbage freighters he picked up for one mission. Something that there's more than a little fandom consensus about is that Anakin's slave background and interest in tinkering means he hoards whatever scrap he thinks might be useful or cool, and he overengineers the hell out of literally everything he gets the chance to work with.

ItBreathes posted:Space cargo the speeders are specified as being atmospheric-only. iirc they also have weak, civilian-grade blasters which is why they can't do jack to AT-ATs unless they hit the weakest points on the plating.

SlothfulCobra posted:But you know what? There's in-world ships that are literally bolted-together pieces of garbage, and they're great. The official name for these is "uglies". I really love them because they really reinforce the idea that all these wild and crazy bits of a ship really each serve a purpose on their own. I mentioned this thing earlier. The Deathraven was some pirate's dream machine and was an absolute beast in combat, being a purpose-built super fighter built from factory fresh machines rather than old garbage welded together with Space Bondo. It was also really cramped and uncomfortable in the cockpit and he couldn't stand to use it to travel for any meaningful distance.
