Move to "Alpha-3 Nimbus-class Starfighter"? --SparqMan 18:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * No actually it isn't. MarcK 09:37, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter
Permission to move this to the name above? The official site uses it in the profile (minus the -class) and would help make th V-wing term part of the official designation. :) VT-16 16:30, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. This should have been done months ago. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:34, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * If there's no objections, I'll do it now. VT-16 16:16, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I had originally changed the name in the article yesterday as well. Admiral J. Nebulax 17:17, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Wingtip lasers?
Where? In the picture, I see what look like they might be barrels on the fuselage, just to the side of the cockpit, but I can't make out anything on the wingtips. Red XIV 07:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll look in the RotS Incredible Cross-Sections for anything on them later. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:34, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

atmosphere max speed

 * V-wing got 52000 km/h atmosphere max speed!!?? Even a TIE/I got only 1250! Darth Kevinmhk 15:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe the Empire decided that really fast fighters were no longer needed... I don't know. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * After the shock I got from V-wing, I checked the data last night: Rebellion/New Republic/NJO Eras starfighters' max atmosphere speed were all below 2000 km/h (With TIE Defender being the fastest: 1680 km/h). It should be noted that real life F-16 & F-22 are 2100 & 2570 km/h ! On the other hand, Rise of the Empire Era's starfighters Delta-7, Eta-2, ARC-170 & V-wing are 12000, 15000, 44000, 52000 respectively. I bet someone forgot to check the average speed of OT era when designing PT crafts! Darth Kevinmhk 03:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:23, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope. Everything related to the capabilities of OT-era craft are heavily steeped in game mechanics (notably WEG). There's been plenty of examples of starfighters going too fast to simply be just above the speed of sound. They have no problems flying rapidly to and from a nearby planetary object, so this "atmospheric limit" is pure nonsense. I'm glad they fixed some of this with the PT-era craft. Since at least one of the guys maintaining the official databank on SW.com is a former WEG-employee, it's no wonder the OT fighters have their ridiculously low speeds present in their profiles, while the PT fighters' are "mysteriously" absent... ;) VT-16 23:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, then. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There's also the matter of Padme's H-type Nubian yacht being able to pull 8,000 km/h in atmosphere. I understand that an unarmed ship needs speed as a defense, but a civilian yacht that can fly 4 to 8 times as fast as a high-performance interceptor starfighter stretches credibility a wee bit.

 * Yeah, some things are a bit off. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
