Talk:EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate/Legends

Is this ship not called a Nebulon-B Star Cruiser? --Kosure 00:58, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Most sources refer to it was the "Nebulon B-class Escort Frigate" and others asa "Nebulon B Escort Frigate" without any class demarkation. The DK Cross section books seem to be taking priority over all things logical these days, and I'm not sure what it refers to them as. --SparqMan 01:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I always just called it a "Nebulon-B Frigate." I probably call it that because of SWCCG . The Databank seems pretty sure that this is a frigate as well, although it does mention them being informally referred to as "Rebel cruisers." I'm sure you can tell I'm no expert; just offering what I do know. -- Aidje 01:28, 3 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Theres an articled that calls it a cruiser. Does that need to be changed? --Kosure 01:38, 3 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Psyche, Im totally retarded, Sorry. --Kosure 01:41, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Is there any way to remove that HUGE gap between the first 3 paragraphs and the last two? I've noticed that other articles with big data boxes don't have this. JimRaynor55 00:07, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Starfighters
I always found it odd that WEG supported the X-wing games' decision to give the Nebulon-B 24 starfighters. How they stored them has always been beyond me. Obviously it's supported by canon sources, so it's fine, but how no one ever said "Where will they fit?" seems odd. --SparqMan 22:29, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It is odd that such a small, and especially THIN ship is supposed to fit 24 fighters. Curtis Saxton even pointed this out on his site.  WEG actually did have a picture showing that it was possible to fit 24 TIE/ln ships on one of those typically cramped TIE racks the Empire uses.  For larger, more traditional fighters like the X-wing, I have my doubts.  We could perhaps point this out in a Behind the Scenes section. JimRaynor55 22:38, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
 * In ROTJ, there´s a shot of a Nebulon-B that appears gigantic compared to a CR-90 corvette next to it. To solve this FX error, Lucasbooks came up with the term "Nebulon-B Carrier", a ship many times bigger than a regular Nebulon-B. This ship could also carry the number of Rebel fighters more easily than the regular ones. Don´t know if that helps. There´s also a similar sized carrier in one of the issues of SW:Empire.

 * Didn't someone at SD.net do an analysis of this problem, with pretty pictures?--Eion 01:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Added Behind the Scenes commentary. The RASB says nothing about internal hangars, and there is plenty of precendent for an external rack. If there are specific references to internal bays, most of them could probably be taken care of by imagining a variant with an aftermarket hangar pod added....--McEwok 15:03, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)

"Fanon junk"
I think those stats were actually from the SW:RPG, as Katarn and Grek class ships are in the RPG, and I find those same words echoed on numerous RPG stat repeater sites.--Eion 02:00, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Confirmed; from page 31 of The Far Orbit Project: "The Far Orbit had several shuttles in its craft compliment; most of these were used to put off loyalist crew or ship jumpers. The remaining two shuttles were retained for their suitability in boarding actions.  Both the Grek-class troop shuttle and Katarn-class boarding shuttle are in good repair and have full consumables pods at the beginning of the campaign."  JSarek 02:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oookay. A search for "Grek-class" mostly turns up "RPG stat repeater sites" that are chockful of fanon favorites. Sorry about that. Regardless, that section of the infobox is titled "cargo capacity" -- clearly the ship's capacity is not only 24 TIE Fighters, but any 24 starfighters of reasonable size. So while some ships may have carried "several" of those particular shuttles (not exactly a useful count -- 2 of each seems to be what most of the RPG site agree upon), the infobox would be better suited to say "24 starfighters, 4 support shuttles", and then explain the variation of loadouts used by Imperials, Rebels, etc. --SparqMan 03:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nebulon B2 as a separate topic?
Shouldn't the Nebulon B2 frigate be in its own separate article? After all, they are two different frigates although the B2 was a modified version of the original Nebulon B. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:20, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)
