Looks like these just got posted in the new game showcase page here.
This is great!
NEW X-Wing Art... Wow!
They have such big intakes and such tiny thrusters.
I like how the one that says "Elite Pilots and Advanced Tactics" shows a TIE pilot crashing into a stalactite

I think they wanted to show the X-Wing as the hero in that image.
Also these backgrounds are little previews on the E7 story. We know for example that X-Wings are zooming over a large body of water, and now we are seeing a battle in a cave too... kinda fun.

bloodtype AB ,then?

well you gotta' collect all that space oxygen somehow

More rebel propaganda move along. Nothing to see here.

Looks similar.
There's probably a very good reason for that.
...do not awake the daemon!....

As far as I know Conduction > Radiation for heat transfer, so things cool slower in space than in an atmosphere. If this was reversed I could see this being needed for when planet side. Maybe space wizards or engineers found an interesting material that works differently.
Anyway doesn't that top right thruster (from our PoV) look like a torpedo passing inches above the xwing.

Does this account for conduction in atmosphere being at 70 degrees and -70 for the radiation in space?
More knowledgable people can talk about it better, I'm not a scientist so I checked Google about cooling things in space vs on earth. I doubt numbers matter much when we are talking space fantasy, but I'm sure there are tech numbers for xwings that maybe relate if you want to math it. ...now I'm curious.

Literally the first reply says it depends on temperature, so who knows?

And the art is real nice.
Edited by GeneticDriftThey should really make us some wallpapers, the artwork is certainly top notch!

They should but if you want a wallpaper of the artwork on top I can also help with that. Just PM me.
I love the new X and I love McQuarrie's art, and they definitely took more than inspiration from it, but there's something decidedly 70's about McQuarrie's art that is super cool and even JJ cannot emulate.

The McQuarrie's looks definitely closer to the white and clean ships of Kubrick's 2001: Space Odyssey (really influential in the 70's) than to the industrial lived-in warm colors of the OT rebel ships.
The JJ Abrahams' one looks like a merge of styles: McQuarrie's shape, with OT lived-in grime, and the whole "rounded edges" trend of the Apple style that also the stormtroopers in EP7 seem to follow.
Prints. I would so buy prints of all of them.
Well, you can't deny that the smooth curves and such do look really, really nice.
