Description Ever since I was very young, I loved science fiction. Especially Star Wars, and Star Trek. Something about the characters, the worlds, the technology... They really sparked my imagination and creativity.

This is my favorite Star Wars snub fighter, the A-Wing. Hyper maneuverable, and extremely fast, but at a cost. It doesn't have much in the way of shield generators or hull armor plating, and it's laser weapons and missile launchers are very light. A good pilot however, could fly circles around the enemy. That's just what I'd do when I was playing my Star Wars sims, years back.

Ahh, the good old days.

I've been playing one of the rogue squadron games, and it's really fun because there's a cheat that lets you fly around in a buick.

Nice, it's even complete with battle scars! I would have to stick with the Naboo Starfighter though.

RedRodent In reply to ShadowApparatus [2008-04-20 12:35:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Hmm, the Naboo Starfighter is pretty cool.... I always liked those. Of course, when I was playing the video games, the Naboo fighters had never even been thought of!

ShadowApparatus In reply to RedRodent [2008-04-20 19:58:39 +0000 UTC]

True, and I think it's kinda ironic how the Naboo starfighter is suppose to be older than the classic starships of Star Wars, yet it looks so much more advanceded.

RedRodent In reply to ShadowApparatus [2008-04-21 04:13:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah That's how it is with a lot of films though... Take Star Trek-- Enterprise--- The 'old' enterprise was much more technological looking.

You have to keep in mind, that for the rebellion, they were trying to get things cheap and in bulk. The Naboo wanted the sleekest, most elegant, and most functional war machines out there. So, you get those beautiful works of art

HA! The A-Wing cannot compare to the speed of my Tie interceptor! Nicely done dude, I love the background as much as the foreground. Reminds me of the first rouge squadron on the n64, ggod work man.

Hahaha I loved those things... Did you play the Tie Fighter game? Ah, man... Those were the days. I wish they'd remake the same game, but with our current graphics!

I hear you, I played that at the arcades back when... For someone so young it makes me feel old to remember that stuff.

RedRodent In reply to samuraiblake [2008-04-20 06:09:28 +0000 UTC]

They had Tie Fighter in arcades? I think you're talking about a different game Tie fighter was a full blown fighter sim It was way ahead of it's time.

FrostyPuppy [2008-04-19 18:32:10 +0000 UTC]

Personally, I'd go for the same, give me good steering and some nice speed and its mine
The thing I love most is how well the lines flow with eachother, if I tried drawing that it would look like one half is being seen at one angle while the other half from another xD Also, I really like the 'northen lights'-like effect there, very nicelt done
