Re: Ship of the Week: The Millennium Falcon
Supposedly it's supposed to hold large cargo crates between the two forward "mandible" bits.

The same bits that Solo hid two heavy lasers?

I thought I those were concussion missile launchers. Could be wrong, though.Deepcrush wrote:The same bits that Solo hid two heavy lasers?

Re: Ship of the Week: The Millennium Falcon
You're not wrong - it's just that concussions missiles (and proton torpedoes to some extent) look like laser bolts.

Re: Ship of the Week: The Millennium Falcon
Presumably Solo had them removed. He was a smuggler, so his loads probably weren't so big that he'd need massive crates on the front.

Re: Ship of the Week: The Millennium Falcon
But the ship wasn't designed for that. It'd be an okay small personnel transport but it sure isn't a light freighter. Neither is the YT-2400. The YT-2000 I could believe (And it looks the coolest). I think I got those numbers right too lazy to look them up.Rochey wrote:Presumably Solo had them removed.

How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

For what?Monroe wrote:But the ship wasn't designed for that.
Depends on how big a crate you can shove on the front. Personaly I like to see the YT-1300 as a sort of tug vessel, shoving large cargo crates around.Monroe wrote:It'd be an okay small personnel transport but it sure isn't a light freighter.

Re: Ship of the Week: The Millennium Falcon
Carrying personnel. I'm saying it works for a small transport but its designed for a freighter.Rochey wrote:For what?Monroe wrote:But the ship wasn't designed for that.
Yeah but its never been used like that.Depends on how big a crate you can shove on the front. Personaly I like to see the YT-1300 as a sort of tug vessel, shoving large cargo crates around.

Okay. I never said otherwise.Monroe wrote: Carrying personnel. I'm saying it works for a small transport but its designed for a freighter.
How many standard YT-1300s have we seen?Monroe wrote: Yeah but its never been used like that.

I know, you asked what I meant I'm explaining. Stop being so defensive!Rochey wrote: Okay. I never said otherwise.
Well I think there was one in Shadows of the Empire and I know there were two in X-Wing Alliance.

I'm not being defensive, I've just no idea where this tangent came from. No one mentioned personel up until a couple of posts ago.Monroe wrote:I know, you asked what I meant I'm explaining. Stop being so defensive!
Ah, but were they on routine missions?Monroe wrote:Well I think there was one in Shadows of the Empire and I know there were two in X-Wing Alliance.

In X-wing alliance yeah.Rochey wrote: Ah, but were they on routine missions?
Also just look at the other YT models. How exactly can the Dash's YT-2400 push things? Or how can the YT-2000 push things without smashing the cockpit? heh. I might be getting those two mixed up but either way. If they're all the same YT line then logically they should be designed with the same purposes in mind.

Re: Ship of the Week: The Millennium Falcon
I like the YT-2000 as well. I've always seen that line not as light freighters but as couriers. Transporting extremely valuable and compact cargoes or people.

Actually, the Falcon was SO modified, she should have her own damned class...............
