Badddd. Very bad.

Why? Have you ever tried deck-landing with something where you can't see past the nose?

Ask Luke Skywalker... Oh, wait, we aren't supposed to say bad things about the hoooooly original trilogy, right?  riiiiight

I think I like it, but a screenshot with a normal FoV would be better, don't you think? It's obvious ( well to me, the others seem to have **** in their eyes ) it's completly distorted...

Anyway, I personally don't like it because of the big woody / nose on the end. It looks more like it's meant to be big and less like it serves a purpose.

Most of the original images look like the camera has gone all fish eye. I remember TS used to do that when zooming in 'n' out. It may be adding emphasis to the nose.

X-wings don't need arrestor gear. They just kinda drift in. Not many sci-fi games do it that way; only the Star Wars ones and Starlancer come to mind.

But I like the design, I do...something's tugging at my memory about the rear view, though.

Cool.
At first, that picture on the top left looked like something at the end of an arm...then I realized it was just the angle.

Here's a side angle, so people can get the proportions better.

[Solatar]

Wouldn't stick too many weapons on it, maybe leave it as a civilian racer/hotrod (2370 model corvette ...)

Doesn't change the fact that you can't see where you land at all

[NGTM-1R]

Sure it does. You can have ground crew direct you.

No, visiblity is only a problem for for high-speed landings.

[pyro-manic]

Or you don't land at all. You dock. You fly into the hangar, and stop beside the docking gantry. Said gantry extends and latches onto your fighter. Or a crane grabs you and sets you down in a landing bay. Or a tractor beam does the same.

[WeatherOp]

Would be cool if you put a gatlin gun like thingey, like the ones on the fighters in Homeworld.  Even if you leave the nose the same it still would be a nice fighter.

Thanks Weather

And to everyone else: You land vertically on a movable pad. The pad (or your skids/wheels) are magnetic, and pulls you inside the docking area. Then you get out. Happy?

[NGTM-1R]

Sure. That works. And that'd be drifting in, since it can't stop you at high speeds.
