Awsome! Check out the landing barge pic in the upper right hand corner of the Hoth battle map.

I reported this waaaay back when the author told TF.N he was working on it, but it's great to get a peak at what it will feature, and to know that Saxton is serving as consultant.

I hope it does have a little for the Death Stars, though.

Cool. The Star Destroyer brigde is awesome

The AT-AT Barge is interesting, but isn't it too large to be launched from an ISD? I mean, the second AT-AT appear to be in normal standing position, making the barge nearly (or around) 25 meters tall.

Looking at the Executor bridge, I really hope Saxton has officially put the final nail in the coffin of the 'globe = shield generator' idiocy.

Awesome. Finally, a detailed account of what happened on Hoth.

(with any luck, it'll show the other battle areas and other vehicles)

YES.

From the two pictures...kickass.

Seriously this will ad much to the variety of bits and pieces around here and add to the general store.

Plus hope they do an Endor Battle(both Ground and Space) like they look to be doing for Hoth

Damn straight! Im so glad Lucasfilm has seen value and importance of Saxton's input on these things.

YES.

So, what are the globes? Radar?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2004-04-08 01:58pm

Yes. Specifically, they're sensor globes.

Though I am still personally a bit worried about it, and the picture does little to calm my fears that they may just say they are shield generators.

I have a bad feeling there still going to call the globes shield generators.

So it is official the AT-AT Barge is now official!

Or canon, depending on if you see the Inside the Worlds books having equal footing as the ICSs.

If it is then thank you Lucasfilm!

This explains the domes rather nicely.

Yep, finally we see it in at least high offical.
By the way, it looks strikingly like the barge from Force Commander.

And the whole globe issue, I think it will be one of Saxtons most important goals helping in the process of making this book is, to finally demolish the shield globe thing. So I bet they will be clearly called scanner globes.

If I were him I'd be wise, and throw them a bone. Clearly label them scanner globes, but add the topside scanner globes (there are many) mount shield projectors, while the generators are deeply recessed in the ship's interior.

Tribun · Post by **Tribun** » 2004-04-09 05:02pm

The big things inside the bridge tower besides the aperatue that descends from the globes, look more like the generators for the bridge shield.

Mange · Post by **Mange** » 2004-04-12 04:41am

It's great that dr. Saxton is consultant! That means several errors can be corrected (and finally enter canon!).
Trekkers, beware...

Yeah, he may well have to do that.
