IT looks worse than the EGVV/Rebellion one and that was no beauty to begin with, surface details are sorely lacking, the bridge tower sucks and leaving alone that the V-wing is an airspeeder not a starfighter I was under the impression that this was supposed to be a Star Destroyer. I'd expect either OR fighters, Alliance/NR fighters, or preferably TIEs.
Well, it wasn't said so in the movie, but ROTS ICS made it explicit that they were in the movies and they were featured in the movies as escorts of Palpatine's shuttle. The V-wings of that time were starfighters not speeders. Moreover, TIEs didn't technically feature in the order of battle at all until the time of the Empire.Batman wrote:I must have missed the part where there were V-wings in ROTS.
Crossroads wanted to find out where it was from and things like that: if it's a product of internet fans, he shouldn't bother. Why? Because in all seriousness, HE COULD MAKE THE SAME THING HIMSELF. I could. You could. It's not more acceptable fanon because it's in ICS format. It's *not even* from a game manual or CCG. He's got art-nous, so he should use his superior resources (and lower wankery) to throw out stuff that's more useful and accurate.Lazarus wrote:I think maybe what the guys are objecting to is the suggestion that because its non-canon, it must be a worthless pile of crap. It isn't, its a nice looking and well presented image of a VSD with accompanying statistics. That neither the statistics or image are canon means little if we're discussing this in a non-canon context. Stark suggested we 'laugh at it and forget about it' because it is non-canon, which is frankly somewhat ridiculous, unless I've read this wrong and we were indeed discussing the canonicity of this image from the OP.
Alpha-3 Nimbus, aka V-Wing. I think they screwed up calling it the V as well.Fingolfin_Noldor wrote:Well, it wasn't said so in the movie, but ROTS ICS made it explicit that they were in the movies and they were featured in the movies as escorts of Palpatine's shuttle.

Hear hear. Yes I'm in love with that ship design (except for the big 'pillow' bridge and other overall lack of surface detail), but the shit-ass EU-minimalist and WEG-poisoned stats have got to go!Darth Wong wrote:What's this with the "stop bitching" and "stop whining" bullshit? The picture is worthless; there is nothing wrong with pointing that out. Warmed-over WEG statistics percolated into a page that tries to look like it was torn out of the ICS. What the fuck is wrong with you people that you think we have some obligation to say it's anything OTHER than worthless, at the risk of being called "whiners"?
