Actually I thought that was the Starfix model of the Saddledome.

Well, never mind! I've upgraded to this:

Just waiting for the particle beams to be installed, then the world will be mine! MINE!, I tell you!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Ahem.

From: Vice-Admiral Alexander Pierce, Starbase 88
To: Commodore Ned Kelly, USS Einstein NX-84777

An old Cardassian space station has been taken over by an egomanical mad scientist who is threatening to destroy the universe. The Einstein is the only ship in the sector. The fate of the Federation depends on you...

"Avenger" class?

Always thought they were "Imperial" Star Destroyer as opposed to the smaller "Victory" class ones.

And then, you have the "Super" class.


Oh, so much classiness!

Yeah, I don't know what the hell to call them.  Only that one of them was named "Avenger" so I called it an "Avenger-Class Star Destroyer" as to say it's the same kind of vessel as the Avenger but it turns out there is a completely different Super Star Destroyer also call the Avenger and, more importantly....

Look:  I've located JMN's even in the field of Star Wars designs:

"The "Imperial-class" term created in the earliest second-generation spin-off books is an irrational description betraying an ignorant misinterpretation and misapplication of naval nomenclature, in addition to culpable neglect of the prior Mandel reference. Referring to a starship as an "Imperial-class star destroyer" is equivalent to talking about a "Japanese-class submarine" or nonsense of that kind. The "Imperial-class" designation is very commonly used in recent publications: it is a noxious weed propagating in the recent literature, reflecting conformity to lightly researched sourcebooks written during the merchandising lull of the 1980s. In these commentaries the common but unsupportable term is rationalised intra-textually as rebel slang, and the more formal and self-consistent "Imperator-class" is preferred instead."

Aiyeeeee...

Ah, I see you've discovered the writings of Dr. Saxton.  His Technical Commentaries are a mixture of the informative and the annoying.  I considered myself an authority on Star Wars minutiae, until I encountered his work.  I know nothing, compared to that.

[Swamphen]

Um...I thought that "Imperial Star Destroyer" was used in much the same way as "American Aircraft Carrier", not as a class designation?    

[Ollie]

Well, well...

My Star Wars book (paper back, large with cool images in them) tell they are "Imperial" class ships.  The games say that too, so I think we'll stick to that, eh?

Mind you, that guy need medication and/or a chick.

Be the old Victory'; Imp's or Immp star II's, ANY vessel from the star wars universe is far superior to anything from bloody namby pamby star trek!!! The Star Wars ships ooze power and lethalness, and no bloody kids running around the bridge either
Turbo Lasers...Mmmmmmmmmmmm      

Gotta get the Fine Moulds stuff to build soon

[Ollie]

Oh yes, Amen, brother Lancer!!

Turbo Lasers...Mmmmmmmmmmmm      

Yes, they ooze power and lethalness, until they're carved up by phasers.    B)

And they can't retaliate, since lasers are neutralised by the navigational deflectors...  :ar:

Sorry I can't help with the kids.

Someone needs to point out to that bloke that the Star Wars alternate universe is choc a bloc full of continuity errors, both the films and all the books, comics, cartoons etc.  Someone should also point out to him its not real.  And in the greater scheme of things, who cares?

Oh, and Star Wars is better than Star Trek    

[Ollie]

When the Super Star Destroyers start tractor-beaming the Enterprise and the other sissy ships, that's when the fun starts.

Yea - but for women you have to go to Babylon 5, and the Russian girl

Me, I liked the redhead telepath Lyta, though I wouldn't have thrown Ivanova out of my bed.
