Thank you to Mel's miniatures for existing, I always loved modding the games to fly this ship. I have your Escort shuttle too which is also fantastic (though my one minor gripe is because of how it's moulded painting the engine flare isn't going to happen).

Nice

Uh...thats not where it would dock.

"Shuttle, this is the Falcon, please get off our dorsal guns!!"

Awsome, thanks for posting the picture :)

And yes, the Delta shuttle is from that time when I thought that since I had to make holes on the ship the engines would be the best place for them. Later I realised it looks ugly.

On the positive side, the holes are perfect for adding leds ;)

Just reading that title gave me a shiver of nostalgia. Uuhhhhsogood.

Tbh I was expecting an Interceptor - Phantom hybrid or something along those lines..

Still pretty cool.

Naw it's from TIE Fighter.

Being rearmed in the midst of a major battles was a rush, like suddenly being naked in public. Shut down engines, Hold still. Scan every window over and over and then blast off.

Yeah, it's referencing the boarding / re-arming. In TIE Fighter that's where a stormtrooper transport would dock with a CORT (correllian transport, YT1300). Didn't make much sense but well, if you've ever seen a CR90 or shuttle try to dock. well...

A YV929 will be next for the Rebels as an objective ship, and eventually an Assault Transport...

And probably 4X XG-1s eventually to be flown like scum BTLA4s with ions.

For the diehards here who want to replace those shuttle cards as objectives with physical models, check out mel's website. Most of us come from 40k anyway here so we all got paints...

When docking I never really scanned the window, but i was tapping E and R repeatedly constantly.

I so want this ship to become part of the official shipset. Love the DX-9. :)

Sitting dead still in the middle of a dogfight: the reason it makes perfect sense that the 0 maneuver for the Lambda is a red maneuver.

Message from mission critical craft: They've started their docking operation.

That was almost the title of this thread...
