Nothing I've read indicates their size was modified in the construction.
Not the local bulk cruisers mind you.
I'm on board with this!

they relly crammed those X-wings in there. I think maybe they stacked them. in racks.

yes they did. but just to get the TIE fighters and a hanger bay in the hammerhead, the ship would have to be nearly 300 meters long, with proportional increases in all the other dimensions, and not the 150 they actually are.
Heck, you can't even fit one TIE using the chibi-TIE's from Rebels.. fitting four full sized TIE's would be impossible. likewise there is no way you could fit ten Xwings into the hammer head, no matter how you arrange them. you wouldn't even be able to fit one!

we're not talking about hammerheads.
we are talking about a CR90 with deck 3 and the forward hold merged into a hangar space
it's a tight fit yes, but I think we could squeeze 4 tie in there, or store the X wings if we stack them 3 high
other people are talking about these:
from a similar discussion: ( don't think it's completely accurate) about the Neb having room for 24 fighters

The farstar is such a stupid design..... if your going to do a job, dont stop half way!!!
If the farstar was symmetrical it would looks so much nicer and be able to carry a couple more Xwings...
You realize that first deckplan is horribly inaccurate sizewise, right? The crew would have to be 3 feet tall to make it work. And its proportions are all screwed up. The farstar ones are closer but still somewhat oversized.
A TIE fighter is actually as tall as the forward hammerhead.
There is no way to fit four TIEs and a whole hanger bay into a CR90, much less the lower half of the hammerhead. And the external docking from the book wouldn't work either, since the panels wouldn't let the ball cockpit reach the escape pod ports.
As fun as that book is, the ship described is just impossible short of it being a TARDIS in disguise

nah man, half as big surely. it's a tight squeeze but it'l fit.
secondly I didnt make those up, someone else did. I imagine americans are just bad at metric and maths.
also I am an average sized Dutchman, so all ya'll are a bunch of midgets anyway.
Edited by GeressenI'm sure this has been mentioned in other topics but some World War II Escort Carriers were roughly CR-90 size and carried as many or mnore fighters then the Farstar or Night Caller CR-90 conversions despite needing more space for takeoff and landing the fighter craft

Amazing what you can do without having to worry about life support.
I just find this picture (Farstar Mark II) but I don't think it's canon or even EU.
But this way, you could have more space inside for the hangar bay and life support.
The height of a X-Wing, a A-Wing or a Y-Wing could fit in the hangar bay. Forget the Tie-Figther, they are not supposed to be there anyway

I doubt life support takes up that much space
Just now, RogueCorona said:I doubt life support takes up that much space
Double hulls, sealants, blast doors, air and water recycling, air processing, co2 scrubbers... all shielded from combat damage under full rate armour.
... takes a surprisingly voluminous amount of interior allocation.
Maybe but not nearly enough to make 12-16 Star Wars fighters on a 150 meter hull unviable

When you can’t store them externally without compromising said life support integrity, sure
Edited by DrasnightaThe long island class escort carriers carried 16 craft in the hanger and 46 more in storage at the same length as a CR-90

they were also benefitting from fighters designed to fold up to reduce their deck footprint (unlike star wars fighters) and a ship design that basically put a hanger running the entire length of the ship, since it did not require large rocket engines for propulsion. as well as a large block like shape optimized for vehicle carriage, rather than the slender shape of the CR90.
they also only carried 21 aircraft total.. combat load. they could fit far more when serving as aircraft transfer vessels, but those fighters were stored in literally every inch of space, shipped with no fuel or ammo, and and partially disassembled. they could not operate active aircraft in that role, and basically functioned as cargo ships in that role. (in vehicle transfer role, they could carry 16 internally, and 46 on deck.. in standard deployment, it would have 16 internal and 5 on deck, though some would be in the air at all times)
