Well good, was curious why it was so off scale. And yes I checked the wook.

See here's the thing about that. Once upon a time a talentless hack by the name of William C. Deitz was commissioned to write a novelization of the Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight game. This hack was so original, that he clumsily explained how Kyle Katarn unconsciously used Force Speed by using the ability by name, and also introduced a wonderful new addictive substance called "Nicitain" to the Star Wars universe. Also, apparently, Kyle was able to use a force power called Spear of Midnight Black to kill one Boc Aseca.

Y'see where I'm getting at here?

Not taking games as canon for whatever reason despite being the originalest of original source materials, Wizards of The Coast stated, and this was somehow canon(ish) that the Crow was 29m. based off the description... In that novel. WCD decided it had a refresher, boarding ramp and all sorts of stuff the crow just did not have.

It wasn't until sometime in 2013 that we'd see the result of somebody doing their research for once, where The Moldy Crow and as a result, HWK-290, was finally correctly represented in its true scale. Which by the way, is also further confirmed by the various cinematics of Jedi Knight. This one in particular.

As you can see...

She's a little bird indeed!

EDIT: Huh, I didn't even know there WAS a spanish version, fixed to English.

Seeing these 2 again makes me wish they'd just done a Dark Forces film instead of Rogue One. :(

I used to like the Valley of the Jedi series... until EU comics ruined them.

Dumb assed panto Jedi on sky galleons getting detonated by a WoW-esque mana... force bomb?

Its crap like that that makes me glad that Disney nuked the EU.

Lets be serious here. Rogue One WAS a Dark Forces film. They just filed off the serial numbers.

Consider that it's probably half as long again as a Striker and a Striker is already longer than a small base.I'd not remotely object to seeing it, but it should be a large base, unfortunately.

Now, Krennic's shuttle, THAT could be a small base. It's only about a quarter again as long as an x-wing, so not that much bigger than a Striker, if the wings are folded up.

Only issue with the T-3c is the wingspan when opened. I have a dozen of these and oftentimes field them in large numbers and they simply have to be flown with their wings folded up or they cause hilarious pile-ups.

This is probably the most wanted ship in the game. I cant wait to see if/when they would release it :-) We only have 3 ships announced so far for the next wave... :-)

Only if they focus on the Mandela Effect. It's stupid, if I'm sure they could make some awesome episodes. And forget the Myth-Arc.

holy ****, I don't remember that poster with a GUNBOAT! The Mandela effect is real!

If they bring the Lone Gunmen back somehow then I am all in.

I'm more looking forward to the next season of Twin Peaks.

You're gunning for it

For those who like the old pc sim games, I suggest following this project: X-WingVM (facebook) or here (modDB).

I suppose the Gunboat will be there...
