​@@Sky_Guy It's always baffled me how the sequels went from creating some of the best ship designs in all of Star Wars, to the most uninspired within 3 movies. It's not as if the designs in general got lower in quality. Stormtrooper designs have been absolutely phenomenal ever since Disney took over and they constantly top themselves, but man I would've loved a new Capital Ship that rivals the Resurgent I can respect the odd designs from TLJ, because there was thought behind them and they do fit within the general Star Wars ship style and Solo honestly had some great designs for vehicles and ships, but TROS just sticks out like a sore thumb with the designs.

Because everything else just fits. Imperial 1 star destroyers, X-Wings, Mon Cala capital ships... It just fits perfectly into the universe. Why wouldn't there be a U-Wing or a Reaper? It's like when Ep5 introduced the Executor. Back then, you did not have fans complaining about the new class. Why? Because it fits into the setting. U-Wings, Reapers and MC-75 just have that seemless feel to them. It does not feel like an Addon. Just like something that always existed, but wasn't shown until now.

By far one of the best looking ships in the whole franchise.

I can really appreciate how the Reaper feels like a logical successor to the LAAT. Not only can it fill the transport role the LAAT filled during the clone wars(a role that no other Imperial ships can fill) but it can carry out ESM, Support and Scout missions. It's just nice to see the Empire improving on Republic designs instead of making worse versions of Clone Wars vehicles.

The entire Sinar fleet systems _line of Ties_ would've made more sense and been more practical if they had followed the paradigm of having solar panels mounted perpendicular to the hull like the Reaper and the Striker. No obstruction of vision, side target profile isn't huge, and can manoeuver far better in atmosphere (useful for maintaining dominance over were people actually live, and where enemy bases tend to be … based). And if they folded up it would make storing them far more efficient and compact in a hanger. The First Order Ties should have taken cues from the Striker design and had "wing panels" instead of the same model with a new paint job.

This is awesome. One of my favorite TIE variants.

I always thought the Reaper would perform well if they doubled it as a heavy bomber as well, like the Imperial equivalent of a B-Wing. It certainly makes more sense than the normal Tie Bomber which has a smaller payload capacity and lacks the speed and shields you'd expect from something in that role. If you just modified the troop compartment on the Reaper you could have it carry a very impressive payload.

I've always been a bit confused. Are the black panel wings on TIE variants solar panels or heat radiators? I've heard both takes. This video said solar panels so is that what new canon has decided on?

@watcherzero5256

3 жыл бұрын

In Canon they are solar panels with piping for heat radiators, but people like to disagree with canon arguing they couldnt possibly provide enough energy. Doesnt help that the TIE fighters reactor is also called variously a 'Solar Ionisation Reactor' or a 'solar furnace'.

Looks like a mix of the War Raider and the new Raider

So basically, the TIE/rp is the Canon equivalent to the Delta-class DX-9 Stormtrooper Transport (TRN) of the old X-Wing games, sounds like? Playing Squadrons, it seems to fill a similar role, even if they aren't as common, and has very similar capabilities in terms of armament, crew/passengers, hyperdrive, and even length (the DX-9 being 20 meters to the TIE/rp's 21), making it functionally equivalent. The TIE/rp is probably a bit more maneuverable and modular (in Squadrons, of course), but it seems to be more or less the Canon equivalent. Granted, it seems to be less common, as TRNs were basically everywhere in X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, while the TIE/rp is somewhat less common and seems to fill a more specialized role, shifting to even more of an important role post-Endor.

my favorite ship of the Empire.

If I was a smuggler I would totally use of these as my ship

I like this design, but I always felt it was under armed for some reason, especially when compared to the LAATs used by the Republic. With the U-Wing it is more understandable since it is a Rebel design and pretty much an ad hoc creation to give the Rebels something to fight in aerial/ground warfare. The Reaper could carry more, than just a couple laser cannons (LAATs were littered with guns). Perhaps we never had a chance to see it in Rogue One in full action besides dumping troops.

Every single assault shuttle in Legends, more than half a dozen different classes: Are we a joke to you?

It also looks better then the TIE Shuttle.

A hyperdrive enabled crew transport ship just feels like it's asking for imperial deserters to steal it

I like the Reaper, but personally I think I like the Imperial Patrol Gunship more (even though it can't really go in space)
