Empress-class space station
« on: March 04, 2015, 07:27:37 PM »
The military space station for the New Republic, focused on fighters and fleet supply.

Some of you may recognize this as the a completed version of the station class on the front of the X-Wing: the Krytos Trap novel.

Very nice.  For some reason I've always had the Empress and the XQ2 mixed up, probably because of the latter being the cargo/civilian station of choice in the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games, but I like the Empress design you've come up with a lot more.  Is the XQ2 going to make an appearance also?

The XQ2 is their resupply/repair station. There's a screenshot either in its own thread in the news section, or in the screenshot thread. On my phone so I'm too lazy to check.

But can you pimp it with hundreds of tractor beams and torpedo targeting devices to trap the enemy and con them into thinking they're outgunned?

Guess I'll have to surrender my ISD now, and lose the Lusankya's fighter complement.

Clearly you've never met a Grand Admiral, Antilles. I'd rather crash this ship into Thyferra then surrender

They weren't ALL like that...Grant surrendered (defected) to the NR.

Was a joke from Bacta War, Captain Drysso gets mistakenly called Admiral by Antilles then adopts the title, then Antilles makes a crack saying he'd call him Grand Admiral if he'd like then Drysso declares himself a GA and said the following.

Love Wedge's retort when Drysso says he'll rue the day he meets a GA.

You can't help but feel bad for Drysso in that he lost all his fighters at Terrik's station, only to have Yonka turn. Not to mention when him and the whole crew cheer when the Virulence (Errant Venture) comes in only to find out it was captured too. His battle was more tragic than Endor considering how many things went horribly wrong at once.

I'd feel bad for him, were he in any way portrayed as a sympathetic character - instead, he's presented as a fairly one-dimensional bad guy, who thinks Isard's only mistakes were that she didn't conquer enough stuff.  Waroen, his subordinate, is much more sympathetic.

Agreed, plus all the mistakes he made, his stubbornness and lack of care for his crew all show he would have made a paltry Warlord at best.
