I cant stand it. Of all the wonky ship designs from star wars this one looks like someone glued an Apollo 6 to a half eaten Frisbee. I mean you could fill up that gap with a cargo carrier, which is the only reason that ship would make sense, like its some kind of space 18-wheeler that has a standard rectangle cargo connection. I really don't like it at all.

Which makes sense, cause when I saw Empire Strikes back, in the theatre as a child, I was in awe of all the bounty hunters! Boba Fett! The killer robot (IG88), that half droid half insect! They were all scary! Except for that dude with the bandages on his head. I never got Dengar's action figure. Don't trust a bounty hunter wrapped in bandages.

I think I am going to proxy a Sith Infiltrator in instead. I found the Revel Easykit Sith Infiltrators are 1/270 scale and just about the same size as the Punishing One. As long as I don't take them to a tournament (which has the chance between slim and none), I should be fine. Now I have to photoshop the Dengar cards into Darth Maul.

By the way, here is a picture I found with the scale of the EasyKit:

I like the design myself; and most Star Wars really doesn't make sense if you look at it too hard.

It's ok, not terrible.

Best ship in the game after the millennium falcon.

From a thrust and flight mechanics standpoint, it is an absolute nightmare, and the designer should be subject to a thousand paper cuts on his drafting paper, then rolled in lemon juice and salt, and kicked down a path of glass shards.

However, things don't have to make technical sense in this universe, so to hell with it. In pure astethics, it's fine. It's interesting, but nothing mind blowing. They're not going to cover it on an episode of Grand Designs, but there are far more visually horrifying designs in the universe.

... Okay.

I personally love it, and asymmetrical/absurd designs are the hallmark of Star Wars some days anyway. The YT-2400 really isn't much more practical, after all.

I'd say the Sith Infiltrator is not the best pick of proxy, though: It's heavily armed with plenty of forward-firing batteries, is certainly not an assymetrical dial, and, uh, he's a sith. Prequel or not, he'd land firmly in the Imperial camp, not Scum.

Unless you want him in an opposing faction to his boss, after all.

Hate is a strong word, but when I look at one I think "NASA Shuttle on a crescent" instead of "JumpMaster 5000". In time, I'm sure it will change. It's just why I don't like it as much because it looks more like real earth and less like Star Wars. Totally not FFG's fault... they are just going with what was designed and implementing it...

Nope. Even its lack of symmetry doesn't disturb me in real life as much as I thought it would.

Baaa

I like it.

I hated the EU illustrations of it, but I love it on the table.

I love it. Not sure why but think it's way cool. I wish the model was bigger, however, it feels like it's at a slightly different scale to everything else

I like it a lot. Only the G-1A is a better looking model in Wave 8, IMO.

I will not spoil anything but I encourage you to watch Rebels.

I mostly don't like the cockpit, it's a little too 1950s scifi or 70s rocketship, an odd collection of cylinders and cones in a fairly hard-edged aesthetic.

Conversion might be cool, or just placing 1/2000 scale U Boats on Epic stands.

Absurd designs Are the most fun though

Jumpmasters

Starvipers

Kwings

Punishers

Even the tie fighter is exceptionally baffling as a fighter craft

It makes for interesting and unique designs, just not intuitive ones

The jumpy is a beautiful model; only large ship I have multiples of

The only thing that bothers me is the bizarre exposed turret placement

At first I thought it looked terrible. Then I saw a repainted version, jet black with green cockpit windows. I now want three of my own.

It is the ship that has finally got me interested in Scum and Villainy.

Marinealver you are Epic

By the way, here is a picture I found with the scale of the EasyKit:

Curses to that image. It just about makes me want to go and figure out how to acquire one as it currently seems we will not be getting one for X-Wing.

From a design perspective I have a hard time with the Punishing One's appearance. I mean what is out in/on that wing that is so important that it couldn't have a more symmetrical design? Maybe if the ship was intended to dock with some other type of hull to serve as an engine system clear from the other hull then maybe; this could explain why it is called a Jumpmaster if the intent is for this to be able to dock with another ship and then be able to jump away with it. I guess it could even be that the space cradled by the wing is intended to hold some time of removable container

When the base ship type is called a "Jumpmast

It's pretty ugly and I am not a huge fan. However, the mini is typical FFG goodness and the scum and villainy faction is the perfect place for all these oddball ships, so I have no real complaints there.

Triple toilet seats coming to prominence as a top Scum squadron is a big though.

I think it looks really good. The paint scheme and weathering on it I really good as well.

I agree, if there is a cargo container that goes there.... Then the ship makes total sense!

Also... Another reason why Bossk is better than Dengar
