The real question is, was that before or after the Wheat Wars?  :D  :P

I think you need to fix that sagging roof before mowing the grass mate. Personally, I'd flamethrower the grass - easier and much more FUN

Nah, just rent out your lawn to sheep and goat herders.

Where is the hobby room? I'm guessing around the middle, and that there was an accident with your Dremel.

I'm told there are a few acreages around our location which have these.
This particular "home" (or field generators off an "Avenger" class Star Destroyer) is right next to a property we were interested in...until we saw the decrepit golf ball homes.

Note the shot out (or shot IN?) patio doors and overall state of disrepair.

Still, I'd be very curious to see what the globes are like from the inside.

Betcha there's this tell-tale mechanical breathing sound then: "The Force is with you, young Skywalker...but you're not a Jedi yet..."

"Avenger" class?

Always thought they were "Imperial" Star Destroyer as opposed to the smaller "Victory" class ones.

And then, you have the "Super" class.


Oh, so much classiness!

Yeah, I don't know what the hell to call them.  Only that one of them was named "Avenger" so I called it an "Avenger-Class Star Destroyer" as to say it's the same kind of vessel as the Avenger but it turns out there is a completely different Super Star Destroyer also call the Avenger and, more importantly....

Look:  I've located JMN's even in the field of Star Wars designs:

"The "Imperial-class" term created in the earliest second-generation spin-off books is an irrational description betraying an ignorant misinterpretation and misapplication of naval nomenclature, in addition to culpable neglect of the prior Mandel reference. Referring to a starship as an "Imperial-class star destroyer" is equivalent to talking about a "Japanese-class submarine" or nonsense of that kind. The "Imperial-class" designation is very commonly used in recent publications: it is a noxious weed propagating in the recent literature, reflecting conformity to lightly researched sourcebooks written during the merchandising lull of the 1980s. In these commentaries the common but unsupportable term is rationalised intra-textually as rebel slang, and the more formal and self-consistent "Imperator-class" is preferred instead."

Ah, I see you've discovered the writings of Dr. Saxton.  His Technical Commentaries are a mixture of the informative and the annoying.  I considered myself an authority on Star Wars minutiae, until I encountered his work.  I know nothing, compared to that.
Title: My house....
Post by: Swamphen on September 08, 2004, 03:55:36 PM
Um...I thought that "Imperial Star Destroyer" was used in much the same way as "American Aircraft Carrier", not as a class designation?  :unsure:

Well, well...

My Star Wars book (paper back, large with cool images in them) tell they are "Imperial" class ships.  The games say that too, so I think we'll stick to that, eh?

Mind you, that guy need medication and/or a chick.

Be the old Victory'; Imp's or Immp star II's, ANY vessel from the star wars universe is far superior to anything from bloody namby pamby star trek!!! The Star Wars ships ooze power and lethalness, and no bloody kids running around the bridge either

Yes, they ooze power and lethalness, until they're carved up by phasers. ;)  :P  B)

And they can't retaliate, since lasers are neutralised by the navigational deflectors...  :ar:

Sorry I can't help with the kids.  :wacko:

Someone needs to point out to that bloke that the Star Wars alternate universe is choc a bloc full of continuity errors, both the films and all the books, comics, cartoons etc.  Someone should also point out to him its not real.  And in the greater scheme of things, who cares?

Oh, and Star Wars is better than Star Trek  :)

When the Super Star Destroyers start tractor-beaming the Enterprise and the other sissy ships, that's when the fun starts.
