it was the last model they made as far as I remember......three solar wings in a sort of triangle pattern around the cockpit......SHIELDS which always seemed like a big no no for the empire for some reason.....
all around monstrously capable fighter, fast, strong, durable, manuverable, and stylish too!!!!!

if we are talking straight dog-fighting capabilities.....I'll take a Veritech over any starwars fighter anyday.........

Good?....Bad?......I'm the guy with the gun.

well being a SW purist I meant totally with the SW gaming world, and not a "best ship" or Titan livers thread thingy, more of an "I totally rule the SW space sim" thang. Which of course I do. Years of practice. I'm currently training my nipper to fly fro the Empire, unf. he's a long way to go yet.

true conv, he comes running downsatirs, after playing some training ob BoP, delighted, and says "Daddy, I'm a Space Cadet...!"

"..that's so true, son, so true" I snickered in reply..

LOL. me'sa tink you'sa takin de peeees, Meestah TecheeMan

you shut your f**king mouth tawakalna. i own the X-Wing so much you have to substitute the 'o' for a 'p'. I could seriously kick your grave dodging ass in any ship you picked. Ive been zeroing your kind since the early 90s and dont taint me with that rogue squadron s**te, i cried when they ended the X-Wing range. But i also cried when i played XvT because it was a bag of poo. Unfortunately i only have Xwing and Tie Fighter with me so i couldnt throw down with you imposter but it wouldnt have been an exciting match anyway, you just wouldnt have done very well at all. I seriously DO kick ass in the X-Wing.

DONE!

anytime. I'll put a cushion on the floor to break your fall so you don't hurt yourself when you pass out from battle fatigue

i'll get you a dummie so when you break down and cry, we all dont have to suffer.

Get back on topic! I'm pissed coz Mustang beat me by two clicks, so don't give me a reason

@Esquilax: Count me in! Lets kill Jar-Jar

Ok Orillion, you supply the thermal detonators, I'll supply the ginger beer . By the way, I agree, those Tie Defender are LETHAL!

Fine, back on topic, I would imagine that a starship with engines powerful enough to move an enormous ship such as a Star Destroyer to a speed equal to, or faster than light, would have no problems in acquiring the speed necessary to escape from a plantary body's gravity well. As for the feasibility of landing an SD on a planet, well that's another topic.

Esquilax the hyperdrive system isnt dependent on velocity, it's not the same engines at all.

the "star destroyers" at the end of Episode II were early versions and they were a lot smaller, I believe that they were Massive transports, not intergalactic siege bases.

Taw - I am aware, however the fact that it has engines that large, which have the capability to push a vessel that large into hyperspace, would clearly indicate that they have an enormous power output; thus they should be more than adequate to achieve escape veolcity.

Topher - Now that I think about it, you are probably right. They were supposed to be early models anyway, not true SDs.
