Team opinion on fanon (in general)

[WarlordOfWildSpace]

Since star wars fanon has a history of making its way into legends, such as the designs of that popular artist that made their way into the essential guide to warfare and the character of Stacey from 'pink five' that later appeared in a novel, it got me wondering what the opinion of the team was on fanon material and if there were any particular examples of characters or ship designs that the mod team members have tempted to suggest including over the years.  Some designs that have caught my eye include the Revenge class heavy carrier from I.M.P.S. and the MC20 corvette from Mel miniatures.

I don't think there's anything we've ever really wanted to add, certainly nothing we've considered adding. We certainly get asked to add a lot of them though, including the Imperium-class Ultra Destroyer, with a hangar big enough to fit like 17 Executors.

wow, this thing is ridiculously large, first time I've heard of this.. I don't think there's a single map in the game that can fit this monstrosity

[WarlordOfWildSpace]

Wow, I did not know that existed.  The two I like so far are waaay smaller.  Bigger is not always better.

For comparison, Revenge-Class Heavy Carrier, about Secutor size, roughly.


And Mel's Miniatures MC20 Corvette alongside a Sullustan Dreadnought which I think is also fanon, but Mel's twitter says they are based on images seen in the background of the battle of Endor.

that first pic looks like something really big took a bite out of an Acclamator..

where did you get the picture of the imperium, i thought it was only mentioned, i didnt think there was an actual drawing of it

I just googled it, put up the first picture I saw. might not even be the imperium, but I assume both ships are of similar scale

[Jorritkarwehr]

That one is actually significantly smaller than the usual picture

[Eldritch66X]

they say it is supposed to be the same length as the death star
