Noob, Er, I mean, NuB-wing

Looks like my random prefixing has gotten the best of me here.  Without further ado, our first WIP shot of the NuB-wing.

 :yes:

The only SW ship I absolutely hated to fly in X-Wing. Maneuvered like a tub-O-s**t and had shuch a huge spread of fire that hitting a small craft was very hard indeed. I'd take a Y-Wing any day...

I imagine the cockpit offset would be pretty hard to get used to, but that once you got the hang of it it wouldn't be a problem.

problem in comparing Y-wing to B-wing is in capabilities is like comparing a Zeus to an ursa they where is, Zeus is like the Y-wing supposedly a bomber capable of dogfighting (though the Y-Wing suffers from age) the B-Wing is more of a pure capship killer

Oh, it's actually called a B-wing? :nervous:
Indeed, it already looks as if it's ready for texturing. Thumbs up again.

Thats silly.  Most of the fluff points at it being the Helldiver to the Y-wing's Dauntless.  At best you could argue with it being analogous to the hard-hitting strafer B-25Gs with a nose full of 50 cals and a 75mm, it's certainly no B-24 Liberator.  The B-wing is still a snubbie not a strategic bomber.  Heck in RotJ it was keeping pace with the rest of the rebel fighters at Endor.

I think a lot of the role differentiation was entirely done by the games. In the movies they really all just fly around shooting stuff to look cool.

The only real exception I can think of (not counting unique ships) is the TIE Interceptor; IIRC there were wings of normal TIE's with 1 TIE Interceptor leading them.

Also, they look like bow ties. The acronym was obviously just a silly retcon.

Will it have cabin, pylons and main wing as separate submodels?
I think I will be able to animate it if it will be set up like that.

I wonder how the animations are going to work on this ship...
thinking the cockpit always 'right side up', and obviously the s-foils open, but i really wonder what it'll be like to fly a ship whose guns keep rotating around you...

Brand, was a system settled on yet that will determine how S-Foils will work?

So in other words, not really intergalactic at all. Gotcha.
