Didn't the howlrunner exist before that?b  

[Sol Walker]

well it might have been around for thrawn, but I doubt earlier than that.  

[FrozenPhoenix32]

oh.
DIdnt thrawn use Preybirds?  

[Sol Walker]

no, that was one of Talon Karrde's friends. Preybirds have been around since pre Battle of Yavin  

[FrozenPhoenix32]

oh i see.

as for the whole Bevel lemelisk thing, I have the answer.:

Raith Sienar had his idea but Commander Wilhuff Tarkin stole the idea, and Raith let it go for some odd reason. Sienar's wasnt supposed to be a battlestaion.

Meanwhile, the Geonosians came up with some ideas for a battlestation of considerable fire-power. When the Empire came to power, Grand Moff Tarkin decided to combine the best element's of both stations, and comissioned Bevel Lemelisk and whatnot to design and have it built.

ggod ehough for the girls I go with.*glaces at the bouncy Twi'leks he's surrounded by* Yep. that it is.

That's what I was going to say.

And as for your small-then-big-then-small debates, whoever said the ARC-170 was based off the Headhunter, then the X-wing was based off the ARC?

The X-wing was based off both the Z-95 and the ARC-170, which are otherwise completely separate ships.

Cale Darksun

Perhaps the x-wing is the conglomeration of the z-95's balance of speed and toughness with the Arc-170's impresive weapons payload and computing capacity.

I like that idea.  

[Sol Walker]

its all about compromise.  

[FrozenPhoenix32]

yes it is, you likey?  

[Sol Walker]

like what?

i'd like it too, if:

1) the ARC-170 wasn't classified as a fighter
2) if one ship looks like another ship looks like another ship, it's a given that they're based off one another. the x wing looks a lot like the Z-95. but what strikes me as uncanny is the coloration of the ARC. and the shape of the wings. They're stubbier, and there's another two, but they look a lot alike. What doesn't make sense is the size. For something so large, it should have more firepower. It wouldn't need defensive guns if it was a smaller fighter, And if it was a smaller fighter, it could still retain basically the most important amount of firepower.

i dunno how much y'all are into progressive mechanical development, but... it really doesn't make any sense at all. you have the Z-95. like the X wing, minus 1 set of wings and hyperdrive. all of a sudden, you have this huge a** ship with the same operational capacity. It looks like the Z-95, but bigger. unnescessarily so. and with... oy! DEFENSIVE GUNS! WHY?!?! it's just... the ARC technical design is just outright stupid. it's a downward advancement in technology. it just doesn't make any sense. i dunno, maybe... i dunno. it's just... GRR!

and another thing, that still doesn't explain how the X wing could be made and sold to the rebellion while Incom was independant when it was attatched to what was essentially the empire all along!  

[Nelowulf]

All I know is that If you play Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, the Z-95 is considered the precursor to the Xwing...

Not no damn ARC-170 that's the size of a battleship..

The ARC is almost a friggin assult cruiser more than a fighter....  

[Nospai Deathous]

exactly. i mean, the whole issue physically hurts me.  

[Oryo Prime]

Sith Intersepter.....Any one know any thing about them?
