Behold, the Nebulon-B "Star Destroyer", from the X-Wing Rogue Leader mini-series:

Seriously, how do we, haha, explain that?!

Simple - That's not a Imperator.

Note the lack of a forward launch bay or protruding hypermatter reactor. This is a new dagger ship. Nice find. Send it to SWTC.

EDIT: Also, eyeballing it the armor looks thinner, the tranch higher, the tower should be more visible if the terrances were there, and the globes don't match the size.

Nebulon-A Star Cruiser.

protruding hypermatter reactor.

Actually, they show it in another frame, it was just poorly drawn here. Same with the rest of the stuff. You can better see that it's an Imperator in the establishing shot.

well, scaling on that shot results in a nonperspective corrected length of 119 meters.

esit: and is the Neb B still off in the other shots?

This was the only shot showing it, or anything comparable around the ISD.

Ender · Post by **Ender** » 2005-12-26 04:35pm

So the fleet has both an Imperator and a smaller 119 meter long dager ship in it. problem solved.

Ahh, yes, now I see what you're getting at. Smart. ;)

Right, now hurry up and email that shot to SWTC or I'll do it for you and steal the credit.

Knock yourself out. I've already mailed half a dozen items, most of which have yet to show up on the site. I wonder what his mailbox looks like. Once heard he was going through it slowly, starting with emails nine years old! =o

I've wondered, with drawings like these and the ghastly Jedi Academy covers, were the artists just bad and didn't want to start over again when they made a mistake, were intentionally recreating them, or just didn't do their homework properly?

Probably some of each. For example, the ships in DE are so different they wre clearly trying to introduce new ships. However, in some cases, bad art or artistic liscense is a better explanation. However, under SoD, that doesn't fly.

It's my one pet-peeve with SWTC, whenever Saxton gets a new ship in that's obviously just a result of poor artist skills, it gets treated as a brand new class under SoD. Unfortunately, there are so many examples of ISDs not looking like ISDs in the comics, if all of them got sent to SWTC, there wouldn't be much room for anything else. I just ignore most of them unless the error is in such a big picture, it can't be ignored.

Erm. I could be utterly wrong on this, but I thought that the comic panels themselves weren't protected under SoD, so to speak? I mean, whichever way you cut it they're still drawings. I thought we were to assume that the *plot* was under SoD, and the comic was supposed to be a retelling of the events? Did that make any sense?

If you are assuming in universe publishing for all material then yes, a comic would just be a comic made to tell the event and so the person who drew in universe could make a mistake.
But then again I never liked the idea of everything being in universe published that some people I have talked to hold.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2005-12-27 09:00am

Well, even if you don't take it that way... If you see a *character* drawn really badly, you don't assume it's a different character or he's had a facelift, do you?

Hey, that ISD kind of looks like that ship from the metal planet in DuckTales

Whats that rectangle right by the hangar bay? It seems out of place.

if you mean the white thing it's probably something that hides the text under it (it's from comic after all)

LongVin · Post by **LongVin** » 2005-12-27 05:38pm

ah ok.

VT-16 · Post by **VT-16** » 2005-12-28 06:35am

Yeah, I usually remove text when I post a picture. Keeps distractions to a minimum. :P

Post by **Coyote** » 2005-12-29 06:20pm

Yeah, *tch*, it gets kinda sad (and desperate) when a badly drawn ship is not just blown off as the result of a no-talent hack artist-- instead, reality and conventional wisdom gets stretched and warped to fit around it, making dreck an accepted part of the continuum.
