When was the last time the EU produced a ship design we didn't Gag at? Really.. its a valid question and I can't remember back that far...
Get your fill of sci-fi, science, and mockery of stupid ideas

The Assault Frigate that you know and love still exists, and hasn't been retconned. This new ship is supposed to be the rare Assault Frigate mark II.Lazarus wrote:They've murdered the assault frigate! I liked that design from the Thrawn comics, and they have lopped the back off, curved the front, and slapped some gofasta fins on the sides!![]()
I guess that's a retcon then?Wasn't the Assault Frigate built some time AFTER the Battle of Endor???
in all the games it's in, it's a pre-Endor design.Dark Primus wrote:Wasn't the Assault Frigate built some time AFTER the Battle of Endor???
I don't see where you're getting wank on this ship from. The site makes it clear that it is simply an alternate design, and not a very successful one at that. I don't see anything about it being more powerful than comparable ships.Starwars.com wrote:Not as numerous as the more common "mark I," the Mark II nonetheless saw heavy use, particularly early in the Galactic Civil War. ... Though a few Rebel shipyards continued to use the Mark II modification and manufacturing scheme, the Rebellion's internally-designed Mark I stood the test of time. It even remained part of the New Republic fleet in the nascent government's formative years.
Did you read the Databank? The mk. II was not unsucessful, it was just not as common because it wasn't internally designed by the Rebels, and the Rendili design team was purged. It even states that the mk. II came about because some people at Rendili saw room for improvement, and that the ship had Mon Cal backup shield generators.DesertFly wrote:I don't see where you're getting wank on this ship from.

Assault Frigate, 700 m. We now also have the Acclamator "star frigate" variant.VT-16 wrote:If anything, the naming scheme of this game helps more than hinders the notion of "frigates" larger than the 400 m mark, as dictated by the WEG Imperial classification system (which only has "cruisers" above that mark), since even Victory-class SDs got classified as "heavy frigates".
