If you could by a Star Wars ship...
2006-02-20, 6:04 PM #1
What would it be? What would you name it? Who would you have crew it?

Now be reasonable people we can't have SSDs Crewd by vader and anilkan.

I would by a YT 2300 Cort crew it by myself and name it the "Cadet"

Why an old POS? It doesn't attract much attention.... ;)

its BUYa ship for crying out loud!

ANd I want something in blue, its my favourite colour.

blue ships go faster, its a fact.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Y'know... if a ship appears blue, it technically means it's moving slower, IE towards you.
Did you know that severe enough blue shift can concievably expose someone to gamma rays? Wacky.
I'd buy (or at least "acquire") either a World Devastator (keep it holed up in a neuranium-rich asteroid field for a few years under constant barrage by drones to toughen it up) with a group of rougish and charming pirate types, then just carve a swath of stolen cargo and broken hearts along the Hydian... or I'd get one of those sexy Sekotan ships.

-Too bad they don't work away from Sekot. Or kill people.

When I was a kid, I always thought tooling around town in a landspeeder would be cool. As I got older, X-Wing was the way to go.

Who says buy when you can win one at a game of sarlacc.

Fair and Square
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

I'd most likely take either an Acclamator-class assault ship, or a Venator-class star destroyer, just because I think they're sexy. They wouldn't hold up against some of the bigger star destroyers, but hey, they can fly in atmosphere.

I'd probably take a Venator over an Acclamator, but exchange a lot of the hangar space for land assaults.

And I'd crew it with people who could do their job, and who I could trust.

I'd probably name it something generic but suitably SD-ish. Like Vengeance or some **** like that. I dunno.

Not caring about awesome graphics or well rendered boobies, and playing a game because you simple think it's fun.

Of course, I must be only playing HIGH POLY BOOBBIES IN SUPER GREAT GRAPHICS ENGINE several hours a day because I can't have a negative opinion towards JK at this time.

I wouldn't want a capital ship unless I had a whole fleet for it to go with. Otherwise, I would just like to have some kind of luxury vessel...well armed of course...just in case...

Except that it's far more capable in atmosphere, as it was built for atmospheric flight. The X-wing doesn't have the menuvering capabilities required for air resistance.

Oh, and NO ONE got my reference...

Skipray Blastboat, Otana (YT-2000), Ebon Hawk, Slave I, Jedi Starfighter or maybe a TIE Defender or Missile Boat. I always thought V-Wings were cool too because of their SCRAM jets and cluster missiles, and the snowspeeders are just cool, bnut neither can fly in space :(

If I was cap-shipping it then that big fictional SD that can carry SSDs in its hangar bays would be my pick. I can't remember what it's called but it's about in a couple of places...

It wasn't built for atmospheric flight, it was built for the same purpose that the X-Wing was, only, you know.. earlier. They do posess greater manueverability, in and out of atmosphere, but not enough to give them a significant edge over an X-Wing. Also, it's shields are weaker than an X-Wing, it has a standard configuration of only 2 lasers, it carries concussion missiles instead of proton torpedoes, and it lacks a hyperdrive. The X-Wing is, for the most part, a superior starfighter. (X-Wings were built as the successor to the Z-95, so that's hardly a surprise.)

The Z-95, however, is very modular in it's configuration (something which the X-Wing isn't), and can easily and cheaply be modified for other uses, which is why it's still in action well into the NJO, though mostly just as private security and system patrols. And pirates. Arr.
Moo.

What, your quoting of Everclear's "I Will Buy You a New Life"? I didn't know we were supposed to point it out.

ISDs are cool, but too big. I'd like a Corillian Corvette. The crew: Blue twi'lek females. I'd call it the S.S. Funkatronic. Gettin' down in zero G, aww yeah.
