Ship of the Week: Hammerhead-class Cruiser

It would seem that instead of grit, they got pitch and pine tar.

Dude, awesome!

Oh, if I may ask, what's a fo'c'sle?

It's a slang corruption of the word "forecastle," meaning the above-deck structure at the prow. In general, most sailing ships modern enough to have sterncastles and forecastles at all had a much larger sterncastle than forecastle. Could just be the perspective of the pic, but it looks like this... thing had a much higher forecastle than sterncastle. It puts the balance of weight away from the rudder rather than over it.

Okay, thanks.

[Sionnach Glic]

Well, it is a spaceship, so maybe it doesn't have a rudder.
Jeez, I can't believe I'm actualy defending that thing.....

I know it doesn't need a rudder. I was merely explaining one reason for the traditional relative sizes of sterncastle and fo'c'sle.

[Tsukiyumi]

Sounds like you guys have the well-justified mockery in hand. This frees me to use my talents elsewhere...

Ah, right.

Mockery is like money, Tsu. There might be more than absolutely necessary, but there is NEVER too much.

Lovely design. I stopped following in the late 1990's, but this is nice. And its nice to see a similarity in use to the Interdictor-class Cruiser. Brilliant idea, the Interdictors. Thumbs up for this ship after reading the Wookiepedia Entry.

You should really play KOTOR I and II, read the comics, and you can get a big picture Bryan. They're awesome.

[Nutso]

A very nice ship, here. As mentioned before, good design and it looks good too.

Oh, here's an old-timey ship!

And it's piloted by half-horse, half-man, half-Jedi, half-winged creatures. Who only manage to show up near the end of battles.

Ah, Farfalla. "First we spill wine, then we spill blood!" Actual quote, too. What a Jedi!

Jedi vs Sith. Worst Star Wars comic ever. Only good for the appearance of Bane.

How has this stuff been able to go on without killing George Lucas?

He doesn't look at the written EU, he leaves that to his peons.

And honestly, would you want to read the current EU?
