The second is arguable as to how much of a boondoggle it was, as it was effectively an elaborate trap designed to nuke the rebel fleet in one fell swoop (though probably better served by building a ton of Star Destroyers instead)


I mean, to be fair, they did that too. It just didn't really help.

I've always been a fan of the K-Wing:


Basically what happens when the New Republic gets some actual funding and decides they're really sick of the Empire's poo poo with all their fancy Star Destroyers.

The prequel monstrosity is not how the original y-wing looked factory fresh.

That’s this fella here with all its cowling still on.



"Custom turbo modifications"

So the Y-Wing is actually even slower stock? :psyduck:

The Azdara from EV Override. This little beauty is the fastest ship in the game by far and surprisingly well armed for its size. Its shield regen is so high that you're back to full by the time you've lined up you next pass, which is good because its armor is made of tissue paper and dreams. Still, as long as you don't get greedy you can take down any battleship and fly circles around other fighters.

United Earth Interceptor supremacy!

Might as well be sitting still:rice:

The Azdara having literal zero armor in that game always amused me. If you hit it with anything heavy it just evaporated but man, if you didn't...

I wonder why Outbound Flight's the only one being shown from the back.

there needed to be anti-force stuff in the EU so i can super easily forgive the force-sloth thing

jedi got so ridiculous they could clown entire armies or fleets of plebs by themselves

Here's the thing, though:

The Thrawn trilogy was the start of the EU. It literally didn't exist until those books.

(Which is also why the books are so fondly regarded, incidentally)
