Inside the Mist Hunter Cockpit

By Amos100288, in X-Wing

Hi,

I love my Mist Hunter and have won a couple of games with it but it's bugging me, what does the interior actually look like? Particular where are the pilot and crew member sitting? Is there room for passengers? There must be right, if Zuccus and 4Lom have a bounty to transport?

I've been thinking its a bit like an attack helicopter with the pilot sat up front and the co-pilot just behind as in the card artwork shown below. But the ship seems to be a similar size to the Millennium Falcon cockpit so could it be more spacious than I imagine?

I've attached some other pictures of the interior.

Yes, it is pretty big, relatively similar to the Slave 1 "windshield".

Oh man I forgot how much I love the look of this ship. If I played a Staw Wars RPG, I would lead my party on so many stray paths just to find one. Everyone would be so annoyed by me...

Really need to put it on a table now that Jumps are gone, Probably in a Mindlink list because thats my scum default now.

I think it's funny that the ship has a pretty huge lounge and a tiny little bathroom.

To me, that sounds 100% correct.

I guess we know now what room Biophysical prefers to spend his recreation time in.

Good times.

Wookiepedia has another schematic that doesn't have one at all! It has more beds, though.

Thats a crazy efficent little ship

This makes me realise that the pilots of the ships are actually much smaller scalewise than I always think. IG-88C must actually have a lot of space for his 3 buddys in his Aggressor.

IIRC, in Tales of the Bounty Hunters this ships is used to carry 100's of rebels from the battle of Hoth. Must be another TARDIS.

90. Still a heck of a lot - packed in 26 per cell (it has 3), like sardines (with the rest spread throughout the rest of the ship).

Well 4LOM doesn't need a bathroom.

And for all we know Zuckuss might not either. Maybe they just have it as a courtesy to their guests.

It's not very clear but from the first image it looks like there is only room for one person and a second behind. But the other two seem to suggest much more space. Which do you think is more likely?

I'd heard it had packed 90 odd passages in at one point. I think the second picture references that story. But I wonder if that might be a decripency in cannon. Maybe in Tales of the bounty hunters it was intended to be a larger ship, but other sources and ffgs model made it smAller?

I'm sure there's more storage in the below decks level. Also, most authors have very little grasp what was limited information about size and whatnot. Most of the ships have multiple sizes and scales with each other (look at slave I compared to Slave I in AOTC) Scale and size change as it fit the stories and sometimes depending on who was making the model and taking the pictures. There's usually multiple versions of the same ship.

Xwing is not to scale with itself alot of times as well.

It's possible.

I think it is pretty obvious that *THIS* is not the ship the author of "The Tale of Zuckuss & 4-LOM" had in mind when he wrote that part of "Tales of the Bounty Hunters". There is no way you could transport 90 refugees IN this ship... maybe strapped to the outside or transported in cargo containers... but certainly not inside.

Which is why... as much as I like the looks of the model... I wish they had picked a different model to represent the Mist Hunter.

When I was in Tokyo, they fit like 30 of us inside an elevator. I think 90 could fit in the Mist Hunter. Not comfortably, but if youre a refugee, you just want to GTFO.

There are also quite a number of records how many people you can stuff into automobiles. E.g. 20 in an old VW beetle. Not that you could dirve in that state or endure for longer time. But it shows that you can stuff people, esp if the alternative is death.
