Just kidding, I do like the Omega design. It's nuts to me that it's supposed to be as long as an Impstar though.

Make sure you have a couple huge dodecahedral dome-towers that project shields over your entire ship. And you know, don't forget to make them protrude enticingly so that any opposing fighter craft might notice. It would be a real shame if they were suddenly destroyed, causing shields to unexpectedly go down on your massive capital ship.

Man those Earthforce ships would never be able to loving turn with that big ol' spinning mass. The Dilgar must have been real pushovers if we beat them with that junk.

The Omega-class destroyers came out after the Minbari war, which was itself after the Dilgar war. Prior to the Omega the Earthforce crews just had to deal with extended periods of weightlessness.

My bad. It's been a while since I've been immersed in the best star war. I guess them Dilgar must have been awful baddies, then.

That's always been my read since Earth Alliance was pretty much brand new on the interstellar scene and yet somehow played a decisive role in knocking them down.

I need to see if there are any books or something that go into that history. We were basically told that they were space nazis, so I wonder if they had any military advantage at all over the league.

A starfighter launches from a destroyer to blow up other destroyers and then return to its own destroyer but sometimes it's been blown up too so they just idk enter hyperspace on their own.

Flavius Aetass posted:for such a boxy ship, star destroyers are straight up sexy theres a lot of real subtle design stuff in there.  a lot of the design suggests a seafaring ship, and the natural place to imagine the waterline is that “equator” line. but the wedge is asymmetrical around that line, so it looks like theres more beneath the water than above. that makes it seem immense and heavy, but also like it's kinda hiding under the water—like a shark or whale or submarine, w the stepped layers and tower thing acting like a dorsal fin or submarine periscope thing. those steps also help visually balance the asymmetry w/o detracting from the effect of it, which is cool the top bit of the wedge is flatter than the bottom, which helps evoke an aircraft carrier. and ofc the whole thing is pointed right at anything it chases like a big stabbing spike great design. hard to beat in terms of space opera nonsense that immediately visually demonstrates everything you need to understand it about it
