A few 'Deckplans' and sketches of SW small ships.
Inspired by some small SW ships I've always loved, and then helped by bits and pieces taken from the interesting Deckplan site of:
http://deckplans.00sf.com/Main/Galleries.html
I offer a few rough drafts of some nice ships.
Corelian Patrol Craft
Police ship for patroling systems and chasing pirates. Contains beds for four prisoners and is armed with Two Heavy Ion cannons, One Turbolaser Turret, and twin proton torpedo launchers.
Skipray Blastboat CR-Series
Heavy Gunboat fighter for highspeed assualts. Armed with Twin Ion cannons, twin heavy blasters, twin misisle launchers and a light anti fighter turret.
I-Beam Interceptor
Lightly shielded and lightly produced fighter for system patrol both in space and planet side. Armed with three light blasters.

I remember the discussion earlier about their analysis of the A-Wing which was flawed (as noted here. Perhaps someone who is a member of their forums could point the errors out to them.), otherwise it's a very good and enjoyable site.

I think JediMaster415 is a member. Unfortunately, I have no idea what standing he's in with the Powers That Be there, nor do I have any idea how they'd react to the attention they'd receive from a board literally twenty times its size filled with self-styled 'numbers geeks', sexual deviants (and damn proud of it!), and Talifans (as KT Jelly would call us); each with a hard nose, a flamethrower or other equivalent weapon, and a willingness to use it.Mange wrote:I remember the discussion earlier about their analysis of the A-Wing which was flawed (as noted here.

Here's evidence they've had a lot of internal turmoil recently; this I believe harkens back to the 'hair-trigger attitude' thing I've mentioned.

Rereading that thread, I disagree that 3 meters is obviously too small to be the width of the A-Wing. I explain in this image:
Heh, looks like I missed the decimal point on .2 meters. Please split to PSW if I get more than a few replies.

Well.....Einhander Sn0m4n wrote:And Crossroads, I highly recommend you use Paint.net instead of whatever it is you're using now. It's fading the color out from their original values, plus antialiasing, while nice, doesn't help with a deckplan.
What I am using is adobe illustrator which actually makes really fantastic images. However for these old ones I converted them in Adobe Photoshop from Jpeg to gif dormat. Basically it reduces the size by a ton, but also the quality as you notice.
In either case, these three where done a looong time ago. IM actually in the middle of redoing them just to make them look more pretty
As for the site itself an internal Going ons... The whole reasons I did the above original was cause one person (after seen yet another pic I did) contacted me and wanted to know if I wanted to help them. So I started trying things. He thought they where good till I got contacted by another guy saying the first guy couldn't make decisions like that My appraoch 'needed work'
so, yeah... Im sticking to my own stuff.

I would look into informing them about the flawed A-Wing. Unfortunately, the A-Wing is under the command of Frank Bontura, who has separated the site from the forums last month or so.
I don't know what kind of terms I'm on with Frank. We've barely talked before. And I don't know how he'll take the corrections.
Also, for a selfish reason, I'm not going to distract him from the Barloz right now. I want that ship.
I'm willing to try, I'm just going to let him finish that ship.
