Author Topic: Your personal ship. (Read 15199 times)

So the question is; if you lived in the Star Wars universe what would you want your personal ship to be, and why? By personal ship I mean a ship that you could fly by yourself, but that you could also bring people and cargo along, in other words a Millennium Falcon or Slave I like ship, but not a capital ship or one man starfighter.

Edit: OK lets make it more than just a transport, what would be your personnel Capital ship, Transport, and Fighter, and why?

I think that my ship would be a Vengeance class SSD. It's size and shape are designed to inspire fear to the enemy. Wich in other words would work as a military weapon and a psicological one to prove that no matter what the rebel scum does we will always crush'em.

Not a bad ship, and I love that they expounded on it in The Essential Guide to warfare, but I think you missed where I said a ship you can fly by yourself, generally capital ships especially SSDs require large crews.

Eclipse · « **Reply #3 on:** January 29, 2013, 04:50:35 PM »

Ups. Sorry you are right I missed that part. So I think I'll choose from Sienar Fleet Systems the T.I.E. Defender. By far one (for not saying the best) imperial fighter. It has shields and hyperdrive and extremley well armed.

tlmiller · « **Reply #4 on:** January 29, 2013, 08:39:38 PM »

Yeah, forced to choose above a single man fighter but still crewable by a single person doesn't leave many that I like. IN fact, it leaves exactly one ship I like. Seinar Fleet Systems Gat-12 Skipray Blastboat.

Getting into fighters I'd take a Tie Avenger.

Full on ships, either a Venator or a Praetor-II.

Yeah I think I might go for the Skipray Blastboat as well, good ship, but I guess I should change up the topic a bit, instead of just having your personnel transport I guess we should go for the whole shebang; your personnel capital ship, transport, and fighter.

As for me though my capital ship would be a Gladiator-class Star Destroyer, my favorite ship is the ISD, but there is something I love about the Gladiator, I like smaller ships and its got a decent amount of fighters for its size and it has a small crew.

Transport would be the Lone Scout-A, it looks like a TIE Scout but its even better in a lot of ways, can carry 3 passengers and can be used as a freighter.

Fighter would be the Alpha-class Star Wing, an Imperial snub fighter that can take a beating a deliver one, and its not half bad at dog fights.

I do like the Star Wings, yeah. In fact, if we were choosing how to arm our fleets, the Assault Gunboat would be my first choice to compliment the Tie Avenger.

Znieh · « **Reply #7 on:** January 31, 2013, 04:02:58 PM »

Yeah the Avenger is a nice ship, I like it better than the Defender. And how to arm our fleets would be a good topic, I think I'll make it.

Might not be quite as powerful or as beefy shields, or outright as fast, but it's more maneuverable and a lot harder to hit.

T.I.E Defender personally or a T.I.E Phantom

Eclipse · « **Reply #10 on:** February 01, 2013, 08:09:54 PM »

The TIE defender(I choose that one too) is a great fighter. It proves that the empire can beat the rebels in every possible chance, afterall the rebels main strengh is fighters and TIE defender is far superior than anyother rebel fighter

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #11 on:** February 03, 2013, 11:47:36 AM »

Well said!

Capital Ship would have to be the Victory II Star Destroyer (thy are just awesome!)
Transport Ship would probably be a Dynamic-class freighter (points to anyone who knows what this is without looking it up)
As to my fighter, I am torn between two truly awesome ships: the Defender and the Hunter. The Defender is awesome, but so is the Hunter.

mynameisyou · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2013, 07:50:59 PM »

I would use a modified T.I.E phantom with concussion missiles as a fighter. as a cap ship I would have a four times larger Venator-class Star Destroyer. it would have 1600 of the most advanced fighters and bombers. as well as weapons capable of dominating a ship much larger then it.

Mat8876 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2013, 03:41:05 PM »

My favourite ship is the y-wing.

If i was in the mood for killing everything in sight TIE defender.

Capital ship would be the Mk 1 assault frigate.

Supekki · « **Reply #15 on:** April 02, 2013, 06:06:32 AM »

I would use X-Wing fighter for support the my allie force ships from bombers , i like x-wing's desing :3
Capital ship would be Venator class star destroyer or Hammerhead class frigate.

SORRY my bad english

im finnish

Delta104x · « **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2013, 10:41:54 PM »

I would probably do a Tector Star Destroyer with extreme modifications(Many more active point defence systems for fighters) and better laser and Ion cannons all around.

As for fighters, probably a Preybird or a K-wing

exwarrior 2015 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2013, 10:30:07 PM »

capital ship would have to be the bothan assault cruiser
freighter would be wild karrade
and fighter would be clawcraft, better than the x-wing and tie fighter both

Julius96 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2013, 01:31:24 AM »

Capital Ship: Dreadnaught Cruiser (Katana refit + drive modernization) Why? It can take out anything smaller then a MC80 and outrun anything larger

Transport: That's a tough one, I'd have to go with a YT-2400 (heavily modified) Why? It's got all the capabilities of the Millennium Falcon, but newer and better looking

Fighter: Skipray Blastboat (standard imperial issue) Why? It might fly like a tank, but it also hits like a tank and can take a beating (AKA I'm a bad pilot, if I were a good pilot ARC-170 for the win)

I'm also quite partial to the Venator, no idea why though.

Capital: A Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser, which I would promptly name the Razor, as it would be used to cut through enemy forces.

Transport/Freighter: The BT-7 Thunderclap. Awesome looks, great weapons, and excellent layout.

Starfighter: The BTL-S8 K-wing. It carries a massive payload, enough to vape the smile off of you TIE pilots
