Tenacity Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It's definitely not my favorite ship, but not my least favorite either. That spot definitely goes to the jedi ship, that thing is horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacity Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 ***??? At least it symetric Symmetry is overrated, not to mention bland. The Defender's interior is by far the worst designed in the game, it makes no sense and has no efficiency to the layout - nothing is easy to access. When you're talking about a combat-oriented vessel, you want to be able to access all major parts of the ship in as little time, and with as little movement needed, as possible (of course, in this game that doesnt matter, but from a realism standpoint it's a big issue). The only ship that really has an efficient internal layout is the Mantis, all of the others have too many unnecessary junctions and corridors to deal with.

va_wanderer Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 looks like garbage. also looks as if you actually applied thrust to it where the engines are, it would spin like a top. all the weight is on the right side. (consult the rules of inertia, which exists even in a vacuum) this design is not only ugly, but it would never work. IMHO, there's some sense built into our BT-7. First off, a lovely bit of artwork for our brickship (check the other ones he's done, too) : https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/9bc74787-26e4-4845-b48b-d8cfb53f0850/d35ppns-e0297250-902d-42f5-ba06-d8ad85c815ae.png/v1/fill/w_900,h_673,strp/swtor___bt_7_thunderclap_by_doctoranonimous_d35ppns-fullview.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NjczIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvOWJjNzQ3ODctMjZlNC00ODQ1LWI0OGItZDhjZmI1M2YwODUwXC9kMzVwcG5zLWUwMjk3MjUwLTkwMmQtNDJmNS1iYTA2LWQ4YWQ4NWM4MTVhZS5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9OTAwIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmltYWdlLm9wZXJhdGlvbnMiXX0.8HMRze8YN6pHR_rv9ypakHGGe2EmrFdXrfa9_W-d-xw I'd note that in part, extending the two "blaster wings" on the side helps in more than one way. Shields don't handle focused hits from multiple angles as well, and putting the extra mass of two guns out to one side helps balance the load. It's not as pretty, but it definitely shows a philosophy we'll see later in the more complex B-Wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkpixi Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I really hate the color of the walls. Really not the shade I would want for a trooper. And the lighting inside is like a cruise ship, it needs to dark with dirt and grime all over the place. And there a way, way to many chairs for only a couple of people onboard.

bhortos Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Before you say that trooper ship is ugly, go and check bounty hunters ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperCam Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I think it should be bigger. Its supposed to house Havoc sqaud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismoGThirtyfive Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 coming from having an 50 operative, the trooper ship is much more rugged and practical than the operative ship. The first few times I got on the thunderclap i literally was getting lost with all the levels, since it wasn't such a straight forward design as my operatives x-70b. after looking around the ship more it has grown on me. When i say practical it has actual sleeping quarters unlike my operatives ship which only has one bedroom for the captain. For an assault ship I think it should have wide doors so troops can get in and out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteSeraph Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I despise it. Its the most generic thing I've ever seen. I also despise it. Before you say that trooper ship is ugly, go and check bounty hunters ship. At least the BH ship has a feeling of symmetry and sturdiness. The trooper ship looks like its made out of cardboard.

Sandzibar Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 it does have some redeeming features compared to some of the other ships.. distance from entrance to cargo storage = minimal distance from entrance to destination map = minimal but yes.. it IS hideously ugly.

You are completely overlooking what makes the Jedi ship the best ship. You can go from the flight deck to the exit door in like 2 seconds, or vice versa. all the rest of the ships you have to run around the inside, but the jedi can get to the door so fast it will still be showing the light speed junk when you click to exit.. lol.

But I would advise you to not care about the Physics of Star Wars. X wings don't work TIE fighters don't work almost none of the ships would work. Star Trek pushes it most of there stuff wouldn't work and they make an effort where Star wars doesn't. That typo made me fell like an Idiot.

Stoj Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Really? Symmetry? Is that a requirement for good aesthetics? I was so disappointed when I saw the ship at first, until it took off, and the wings folded out, and I was thinking oh my gosh, that's amazing! It's artistically an earlier model of the B-Wing. I think it looks very cool, especially in a barrel roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Straczynski consulted JPL to see if their scientific ideas and designs were plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatumsa Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I like things to be symetrical, so even my gunslinger's ship is annoying as well. I like the BH one though heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lammio Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Millenium Falcon and the Thunderclap are both great ships. and they look cool. yes I love spaceships made from crappy and rusty parts. Jedi ship is ugly Note: My opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastchey Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 jedi/ bh ships are my least favourite. Best ship is the sith: flat , easy access to every room, no wasted space. Trooper ship is obviously meant to house a squad, I think it's the one with the largest interior. IA ship is best looking on the outside, on the inside it's way too long. Scoundrel ship , while looking good on the outside has roo much wasted space on the inside. and btw, I don't dislike any of them , I just like some of them more.

Calei Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) You'd think we'd have choices? Like choices in appearance of gear, ship, interior decorations? Nope. This is an MMO, there is no choice. You just take what they feed you and like it. Edited February 20, 2012 by Calei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uziforyou Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I like things to be symetrical, so even my gunslinger's ship is annoying as well. I like the BH one though heh. This. Humans are symetrical beings so we have a deeply rooted prejudice against anything that isn't symetrical. Still, I like the trooper ship. It's cool when something is different and doesn't follow an expected pattern. Aren't there enough things in SWTOR that do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshey Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I actually really like the Thunderclap. The only two ships that I like better are the Fury and the Phantom (in order). It isn't the best looking ship in the game, but it looks like something a soldier would fly. Also, it looks better than the D5, what more could you ask?

Ilysanth Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hate the exterior but like the interior. I never get lost in my troopers ship but get lost in my Jedi ship all the time. The only positive to my Jedi was mentioned above that getting from the flight deck to the door is FAST. Also constantly get lost while visiting my Smuggler friend's ship... Basically, it comes down to never letting me lead. I have a horrible sense of direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwold Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Like the Trooper ship here as well. the only thing i hate abut it, is how it sime to rich up, when it clap out the wings before take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
