Release of part one of I.M.P.S. has been delayed for sound work, but screenshots and storyboards have been pre-released, including this beauty of a shot of the Relentless and escorting vessels.

Heavy carrier, actually. Fan design, I think. So are the two engined ones.

Kewl. I thought the two-burners were VicStars.

No wings, and they've got an odd gap in their hulls between the engines. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/ ... cap003.jpg We had a thread on that ship in PSW, where the conclusion that it was a fan design was reached.

A heavy Carrier? So, it's got like Wings of fighters on it?

Fan design or not, it looks awesome to me too. Thumbs Up.

I don't know. Let's take your question to Captain Obvious.

There's a crap-load of of concept art for the first chapter on here, which includes images of Relentless from various angles and details:

Personally, I'm not too fond of the whole "Star Destroyer sandwich" thing it has going...

A rough estimate that I got for the length of Relentless is 4.6 km.

Well, the split nose seems typical of Imperial carriers; the one in Revelations was a split nose, though smaller, and it evidently appears in the Technical Commentaries and is not a fan design. Though yeah, the apparent two bridge towers thing is kind of weird.

I don't have a problem with the split hull whatsoever.

The green engine wash is also a bit odd.

I remember Darth Maul´s Sith Infiltrator and his speeder having green engine-glows.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2005-05-03 04:23am

Maybe, but I think this ship would look better or at least be more consistant if it had white or blue-white engine wash.

I tohught the Relentless was an ISD per Spectre of the Past/ Vision of the future.

Wasn't one of the ISD's in Starcrossed Triumvirate named "Relentless"?

And the original Thrawn trilogy, but they decided to name their carrier the Relentless. That was the first thing to cross my mind upon learning of this. If you want to complain, contact info's on the site; bitch away.

Dammit, the pushed back release date is today, but it's not up. *Grumble*

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2005-05-05 04:40am

Maybe they mean "today" as in "when people are actually awake."

Dammit, how am I supposed to get the jump on that massive bandwidth problem that TF.net is about to have if they don't do a midnight release?

What is "Imps?"

This is by the same people who did TROOPS, right? But in a serious tone, this time.

Yeah, that's been said in other threads several times now.
