EVE General Discussion

As much as I'd hate to agree with Some Rando, he's right. The Falcon wasn't a special snowflake, it was mass-produced just like every other ship. In fact, it was a pile - run down, falling apart, full of non-OEM replacement parts and spot-welds.

The only thing that made it special was its crew, and their exploits. Serenity (Firefly) had nearly the exact same story; it was a mass-produced cargo ship turned junker, that happened to acquire an interesting, adventurous crew.

Not dumping on Sci Fi, just rabid Falcon Frenzy.

One word: NYX

I've always thought the Coercer was the rip on the MF.Twin boom bow, right side cockpit, flat...

Obviously it was rigged though. I recall Han mentioning that he made some "special modifications" of his own.

YT-1300

Conceived by a panel of CEC shipbuilding experts with help from Narro Sienar,[4] the YT series went on to become one of the most popular space transport hulls ever produced, revolutionizing the interstellar shipping industry with its unparalleled application of modular design. Whole sections could be mass-produced and arranged into new configurations as needed without extensive retooling. This saved CEC enormous amounts of credits by allowing the starships to be brought to market at extremely competitive prices.

The YT-1300 model exemplified this concept with a circular main corridor and modular compartments that could be mounted around it, all radiating outwards from a central core inside a saucer-shaped hull making for both a convenient and economic design.

Han's fit had to include an oversized ab and shield booster after all

Ok, I'm going to lay my 2 ISK out on the table, here...

Role wise, most certainly a Blockade Runner or Deep Space Transport, because those are the closest thing to a smuggling ship EVE has. Fit wise, Han modified his hyperdrive to one of the fastest available, so he would have assurely used Hyperspace Velocity rigs to warp faster. I also agree with the modified shields, as I believe the falcon also had military-grade shield deflectors. It would have to include one turrest slot for the quad-laser turrets and one launcher slot, because it had concussion missiles added, as well. An oversized MWD or AB is also very likely...all in all, it's reall hard to say because the classification conventions between EVE and Star Wars are very different...but I would put my money on a very craftily fitted Caldari Blockade Runner. I say Caldari, because i see them being more like the Corellians than other races...and even though it was a bucket of bolts, it was a mass-produced model of a supercorp.

Isn't it the first ship in scifi history to "get under the guns"?

Maybe he just found a WH

This is the problem with Star Wars fanatics. At least Christopher Lloyd had the humor and decency to admit that Doc Brown's "1.21 JIGGAWATTS" was simply a pronunciation mistake that nobody bothered to correct during filming. The parsecs quote can't be fixed or explained away through retcon. Call it what it is, actors saying the wrong thing back in the 70's because that's what somebody wrote down wrong, back in the 70's.

Actually, if you take Quantum Physics into consideration, the statement you are attempting to debunk is theoretically true, flying close to black holes theoretically causes a distortion of time and space (or what we call time and space) to a degree that time passes differently for you than it does everyone else...and at different rates, depending on how close to it you are...as well as space being more dense, etc.
