The ugliest Canon ship Ever

By patox, in X-Wing

Here's one canon ship that will probably never hit a gaming tabletop ever.

Ironically one of the most plausibly functional ships I've ever seen in the star wars universe

That is really bad, the resistance troop transport isn't much better.

It looks like an actual space ship. So of course it ends up being ugly as sin.

I like it.

Looks like an actual freighter! I love it.

All that space for cargo pods to be attached and detached, huge cargo section built into the forward hull with doors that function (I'm looking at you YT series...), you can even land a few ships in there and use it as a pocket carrier!

It's ~425 meters long. That makes it the right scale for a) Armada or b) a playmat type backdrop.

I like it. It looks kitbashed out of different model kits. Which is pretty Star Wars.

It looks practical and isn't an asymmetrical nightmare. Are you sure this is a Star Wars ship?

In TIE Fighter it'd fit right in.

And I start to wonder how Han and Chewie ended up with this .... Thing.

Still like it tho..

Reminds me of Teladi ships.

Many profitsssss to be made in a ship like that.

I wonder how Han and Chewie ended up with this... thing, too. I wonder how it actually works, the cargo stands I mean. Do they actually detach? I'm guessing that could go either way, but what purpose would it serve to have the stands come off? Perhaps they come apart at the front seam, and the rear section can be used to ferry the cargo independent of the main structure? Maybe it's like a fishing boat and when the cargo stands aren't in use they get taken apart and stored in the hangar?

Maybe it doesn't come apart at all and if we do get Han and Chewies Flying Thing it will be a scaled down Epic brick and we'll just have to live with every ugly, drooping, glorious lump of it.

It looks like a design for Space 1999. Not the first time either.

Think of it like a giant container ship that is unloaded by little flying robot pods instead of cranes.

That's not the Twilight.

Nebulon. Freakying boat motor kitbashed into a hellish denizen

The design is pretty much "What would a semi-trailer truck look like if it wasn't constrained by roads". Which makes sense given that that's exactly what it is.

Still like it tho..

Well I guess that answers my question. I wondered if it was Han's frigate. Maybe it will be in Wave 3 of Star Wars Armada.

Pretty much all of the ships and vehicles in the new movie that aren't based on preexisting designs (line x wings and tie fighters) are really, really boring, just flying boxes.

The lack of any seriously cool NEW ships is one of my biggest disappointments with TFA.

Space Jesus...

Rebels already have enough uglies in Armada v_v

It could, however, BE a gaming tabletop, that would be quite cool.

They are flying in the hoover from megamaid?

Reminds me of the Nostromo from Alien, I love it - though I highly doubt we'll ever see it in X-Wing or Armada. It's a freighter, and in real life they never went well in combat, even with guns. If you bought it (on it's own, at least), you'd just be paying for your opponent's victory.

Still prettier than the rebel transport :P
