(Star Wars Ships) Is the RZ-2 A-Wing a PERFECT Interceptor?

Ойындар

The RZ-1 A-Wing used by the Rebel Alliance deserves respect, but if the RZ-2 A-Wing improved on everything, than could this be as close to filling it role as possible? Is the RZ-2 A-Wing an interceptor perfected? Find out how it compared to other Star Wars interceptors like the TIE Interceptor, the Eta-2, TIE Defender, and other ships like the TIE v/n Silencer and X-wing.

    The Sith Wars, The Mandalorian Wars, The Jedi Civil War, The Return of the Sith Empire, and the Dark Brotherhood phase of the final Sith War scarred the galaxy to the point where entire planets were enslaved, decimated, glassed, and even destroyed caused a lot of problems, coupled with the fact that the Old Republic during this era of the force was extremely divided with planets just up and joining the Sith Empire if they felt that they could get more "benefits" from the other side. What's more, the galaxy was also divided culturally and technologically with Tatooine being just a mining outpost just before and during the time of Revan. Following the time of peace from 1000BBY to 22BBY, you have almost an entire millennium without the Sith openly declaring war on the galaxy every single time they gather an army, they were waiting until they had the ability to take control of the galaxy by subverting the power of the Jedi and using the new Clone Army to assert itself over its subjects. During this thousand-year "peace" (minor conflicts did rise up here and there though nowhere near as big as the Sith Wars or the Clone Wars) you had hyperspace lanes being charted on a larger scale that would help tie the galaxy together, technology would become far more advanced and trade would become the true powerhouse of this new era nor military might, this, of course, would lead to the events that laid the foundations for the Clone Wars so it was not all good. Simply put the constant fighting and divisions between the galaxy made it a semi-dark age that didn't halt technological advancement, but it did slow it down significantly. The holo battle maps you see in star wars battleships first came in use during the Mandolorian Wars and significantly helped turn the tides of battle.

    All the Galaxy spanning Wars eventually resulted in a Galactic Dark Age from ~ 2000 BBY - 1000 BBY. During this period entire sectors were abandoned/depopulated and many planets outside the Core Worlds degraded to pre-spaceflight levels of technology. It got so bad, that the Republic collapsed in the second half of this period and many former member worlds became Protectorates of so called Jedi “Lords” in order to keep random warlords, the Hutts, and the Sith at bay.

    Technology was already pretty mature in the Star Wars universe so its been more a gradual miniaturisation rather than radical leaps in technology, the exceptions seems to be the mega engineering projects where they are simply building bigger but facing and solving the technological problems that come with scaling (for example using Kyber crystals in the Death Star superlaser)

    I'd say that it's more the Star Wars equivalent of the old F-104, or most of the other Century Series fighters, with the notable exception of the F-105, in that it was designed as an interceptor. Something meant to go very fast, but not necessarily be able to maneuver that well, and intercept enemy bombers as soon as possible and as far away from their intended target as possible.

    It's hardly a flaw in space fighters that the guns aren't turreted. Rather it's a flaw in science fiction to think that a space fighter has to fly the direction it's nose is pointed. Which is in no way true in space. Though, once you invoke realism the entire concept of a starfighter becomes truly ludicrous. Hell, space battles in general are an absurdity given real physics. But starfighters in particular make no sense. Not even slightly. So merely HAVING starfighters in your setting is a massive contrivance. Why sweat the details when the basic premise is already so ridiculous?

    The RZ-2 may be an upgrade over the RZ-1 but both ships have a hyperdrive, but imagine a V-wing and a Tri-fighter with a hyperdrive. Either way the interceptors of the light side always think of multitasking.

    why give a defensive ship hyperdrive? it increases costs and takes up internal space. only factions that lack resources (for mobel hangers) would want to give interceptors hyperdrives.

    What matters, when we're talking about an interceptor, is the speed, range and weaponry. A-Wing of the Reb' era is fast and does have missiles : a perfect interceptor to wipe some enemy squadrons far away from the mother ship. It's the kind of starfighter that you'll keep in reserve and use to quickly intervene where it is the most needed. Maneuverability doesn't even matter much.

    If you were to bring back the Extended Universe what would be one thing you would change to make it better? It was me I would decanonize Swtor and instead have Kotor 3 happen and be about 5-10 years after Kotor 2 and have the old Sith Empire invade the Old Republic at that time. Then I would add more content between 3900BBY-1000BBY where there's more wars, society breakdowns, plagues, and dark ages to help explain why technology doesn't really progress much in the Extended Universe period of the Old Republic to Clone Wars.

    If the Old Republic era were to be brought back into canon, I’d personally do a time crunch from 3000 BBY to 1000 BBY to bring Tales of the Jedi, KOTOR 1&2, and SWTOR 2000 years closer to the events of the Original Trilogy. Maybe also establish an official in-universe calendar for the sake of both the writers and fans.

    Thought's on the A-Wing's intended size? Mistakes in model scaling have been made before, in converting to metres. And with the Executor, most famously. If it was not in 1/16 scale (60 cm model) then the A-Wing is NOT 9.6 metres long, and the pilot fits more snugly as seen...

I particularly have to give it that it's insanely smart to protect the engine and pilot as without either most fighters are literally dead or dead in the water. It also makes a bit of sense. Seriously why is this the only example in any Starfighter based series I've ever seen somebody state you needed a triforce over your VIP parts of the Starfighter?!
