Guest JediIgor Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Why does the B-wing have an air scoop when it's a spacecraft? All Rebellion fighters are also perfectly suited to atmospheric combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yeah, but why would you need air intacts for a engine that doesn't require it? If anything it would hurt areodynamics in a atmosphere more than it would help it.

Why anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Because Geogre Lucas, or whoever decided on ship design and physics is a friggin' moron.... I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye31_pff Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 It oculd be a radiator or a bussard ramscoop like those from Star Trek ormaybe it's not the engine but the launcher for the bigger missiles it can carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zer_Teron Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Its Science Fiction, our physics dont apply in their Fic galaxy. http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3488/zersigef1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 If you follow physics nothing exists as there is no such thing as matter or energy as in the beginning there was a singuilarity and nothing else. Suddenly there was a load of energy= doesn't work!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiftdraw Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Ok, I'm going to leave it at this. Its a stupid design to have air intakes on a spacecraft, fictional physics and areodynamics be darned (I hate editing myself.)

AT-AP Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Those intakes only apply to when they're in an atmosphere, though. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a242/CptK/StarCruiser.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 But why would you need them on a engine that doesn't need air to run? I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 It uses air as a natural coolant. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader89 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I am really looking forward to your mod man, you guys are really talented.

Swiftdraw Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 It uses air as a natural coolant. .... I think in the futuristic setting they'd be able to develop something better than an air cooled engine. And given the extreme conditions space has to offer, air cooled engines are not an option, you'd need something more effective..

Avaris Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 uum. Air cooling doesn't work in places that have no air like space me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ackbar Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Why does the B-wing have an air scoop when it's a spacecraft? rocket slots i beleive Its a trap! -Admiral Ackbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Now that makes sense! But their orientation to the engines and design makes me think air intakes. But a weapons slot seems more logical and cooler design wise. I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AT-AP Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Air cooling doesn't work in places that have no air like space me thinks The dispersal of energy in space is vastly greater than in atmospheres because of the low amount of particles in a vacuum. I believe that's also a reason for all the openings. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a242/CptK/StarCruiser.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megajames Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 B-wing maby not, there just replacements for the Y-wings, tie intercepters, definaly they empire needs some speedy units. Evacuate, in our moment of triumph. I think you overestimate their chances.

Foshjedi2004 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Megajames jfyi the TIE Fighter is only marginally slower than the Interceptor. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megajames Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 But in battlefrount II they are scouts, slow scouts but still scouts. Even so they are my fravorite tie.
