Han Solo at Star's End
Shouldn't that be the first appearance? Kuralyov 19:22, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe so. I'll fix it. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:33, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

astromech
Did the fighter require an Astromech?--KrossTransmit on Holonet? 13:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Nope. There's no socket for an astromech on a Headhunter. Maybe on some of the modified ones, but it's certainly not standard. 68.47.234.131 11:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe that a modified one carried an astromech socket, however. I'll have to find something on it. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:18, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Mark I Headhunter
Are there any official images of the original, swing-wing Headhunter? Red XIV 04:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC) Anyway, I'm not going to screw with the article. Let it come to an agreement, or we can just throw the pic out.LSUAdman 19:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There probably isn't. But who knows, I could be wrong. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 12:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Pity. I'd really like to see what it looks like, and that would make a perfect addition to this article if it exists. Red XIV 04:19, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It's hard to tell that they're swing wing, but the Mark Is appear in the Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook. jSarek 04:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Along with a picture? Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 21:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but like I said, they don't really look very much like they have variable geometry wings in that picture. However, they do have the bubble canopies, and the quote from Han Solo at Stars' End used as a caption pretty much guaranties that they're meant to be the Z-95s. jSarek 21:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Could you provide us with the picture? Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 21:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Scanner is kaput. :-( jSarek 22:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Dammit. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 22:02, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * http://www.alfredsmind.ca/z95m1pg.htm There is a model recreation of the Mk.1 Z-95 headhunter. You'll have to contact the guy if you want to use the images though Cthulhuvong 22:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * We don't use fanon images here. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 00:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I went and scanned the image today. I tried to clean it up a bit, but there really isn't anything more I can do. See if you guys can use it.
 * How are those Z-95s? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * "They were early production snubfighters:Z-95 Headhunters. Indicating the snubs, Han asked Jessa, "What'd ya do, knock over a museum?" Direct quote from the book, which is a caption under the picture in the source book. Also, the Z-95's were described as having bubble canopies, which these do. I just pulled the picture. Don't ask me for explain it. This is an old source book. LSUAdman 19:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And I believe the new sources show the more "correct" Z-95. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Then the Z-95 Swing-wing goes without a picture. Feel free to blast the pic to free up server room. LSUAdman 19:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Those are the farthest things from a Z-95. Unless they decided to completely change the design but keep the name, I doubt those are truly considered Z-95s anymore. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Not to argue the point, but I could see them being a Z-95 early run model. Take off the nose and replace with a "bubble" cockpit. Then go back to the early -95's weapons, which were 2 triple blasters. Take the wings and make them variable, in this case I believe they would fold up like a lambda (see the little joints?). Finally, get rid of all the engines save one, and move it directly aft. Yes they are wierd, but they are Z-95-esk. Like you said, they don't look like "modern" Z-95s, but they arn't modern. Not even by a long shot. There are what? 9 different Z-95 models? And they all look exactly alike?
 * The picture can stay, but why would they make such radical changes to the Z-95 design when they could have kept it as it was? It just doesn't make sense. Perhaps this will be retconned as a Z-94 or something. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Beats me. Like I said, I just scanned it. Who knows what Subpro/Incom was thinking. Heck, for all we know it was a Subpro heavily influenced version, since all other similarities look like an Incom X-wing. Why can't people stay within continuity. LSUAdman 19:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The question should be, why could they have made a better-looking Z-95 in the first place? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * LoL. God only knows brother. LSUAdman 19:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, they kind of look like Authority IRDs. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. As soon as I saw that photo I thought: "Wait, didn't I fly something similar in X-Wing Alliance?" and sure enough it was the IRD. --Anguirus111 22:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, that works. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 00:13, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Quote
Maybe we should put in a second quote about how the Z-95 sucked by the Galactic Civil War era.-Commander Mike 01:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hold on, I think I've got one... I'll go add it in. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 11:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Why not use the quote by Han Solo up in the discussion? "What did you do, knock over a museum?" for the history section.
 * I suppose we could use that... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 14:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm nearly positive the two close fighters are IRD mark IIs. --AdmiralWesJanson 03:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

S-Foils
Anyone know which model of Headhunter had "X" design strike foils, as depicted in The Phantom Affair? http://swsv.swcombine.com/incom/z95-5.jpg (pic for reference) Dangerdan97 12:23, 15 Jun 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that was just a combination of a X-wing and Z-95, not an actual Z-95 model. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 12:35, 15 Jun 2006 (UTC)
 * Booster and Wedge refer to it simply as a Z-95, plus it happens a good 3-4 years before the first X-wing was built. Dangerdan97 12:39, 15 Jun 2006 (UTC)
 * Really? Because The Phantom Affair, to my knowledge, takes place after the X-wing was designed, unless it's a flashback. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:11, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it is a flashback to the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Wedge's parents. Dangerdan97 08:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh. So it's kind of a pre-X-wing X-wing. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 12:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks to be a late model, in the AF series. Since the AF4 has no s-foils, it may be an AF3, or a refitted AF4. It could even be a T-65A, as early X-wings looked a lot like Z-95s. It's also possible that the Z-95/T-65 is really the same evolutionary line, just with the T-65 renamed because of the split with Subpro, and later because of more differences, including the s-foils and built in hyperdrive. X-Wing/Z-95 history is a mess, especially around the transition point. --AdmiralWesJanson 03:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Who knows. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 14:42, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Tight turn
Han Solo, in HSaSE, said that the Z-95 could take a tight turn. I'm making a note about that. Steel Damascus 08:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Please don't post at the top of talk pages. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 12:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Bomber?
Could I please get a source where it was referred to as a bomber? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 17:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't know about it explicitly being a bomber, but the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook does say they were sometimes upgraded with ground-attack missiles. jSarek 02:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think that would make it a bomber. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 12:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's why I said "don't know about it explicitly being a bomber." Definitely evidence of it serving a ground attack role, though.  jSarek 00:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 00:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * As I recall, the Z-95 was something of a utility fighter, similar to the X-Wing. While both the T-65 and the Z-95 are generally classified as "superiority fighters," they were both designed with flexibility in mind. As many variations as there are of the X-Wing, there are just as many of the Headhunter. Aside from that:[rant] we're talking about starfighters here. While there are fighters that are technically classified as "bombers," what do they bomb? While most of them have atmospheric capability, they're designed primarly for use in space. A Y-Wing, for example, is classified as a "bomber." I suppose you can't call it a scout due it's sluggishness; can't call it a superiority fighter due to its lack of maneuverability; can't call it an assault fighter for its lack of armor. So: strap some missiles to it, stick an ion turret on top and call it a bomber.[/rant]
 * Actualy the Y-wing has extremly strong armour and shields, the Rebels just removed the armour to make mantianing them easier as removing the armour and then replacing it afterwards was a very time & labor consuming process! -- Awar 15:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

Quote
I have the TPM novel, and nowhere does it say that quote on the chracteristics page could somone deal with that thanks.
 * Fixed. Chack Jadson 16:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

image
the link image is a t 65 incom x wing starfighter.has anyone noticed that???? Imperialwalker 02:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Be more specific. The article has several images.  Do you mean the Z-95 with S-foils or what? -Fnlayson 02:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * the one above the search bar Imperialwalker 02:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, you mean this? -- Ozzel 02:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * no the other one.the one with bad quality Imperialwalker 02:57, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * this one? -- Ozzel 03:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * yes that one.doesnt that look like an X -Wing?? Imperialwalker 03:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * A little bit. But there's 2 laser cannons like a Z-95.  Go to Search icons for the Icon lists and to complain about them. ;) -Fnlayson 03:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * point.thanks! Imperialwalker 03:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Missile Payload
The stats indicate that the Z-95 has 2 concussion missile launchers, but do we know how many missiles it carried in total? (for example a y-wing has 2 proton torpedo launchers, but carries 8 torpedoes). thanks!
 * The Roleplaying Game Revised Core Rulebook lists their payload as 6 concussion missiles. jSarek 00:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you - I actually got my hands on that book yesterday. I'll note that not all the missile payload match those reported here however - the Y-wing proton torpedo is doubled (8 per launcher), while the X wing payload is the same.  So how reliable is it... I don't know.

Its the same amount in X-Wing Alliance so I'd say it's relieable. Aybfreak (Just some guy) 20:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
