Just got finished watching Empire Strikes Back, and wanted to know if anyone else thinks that the new Minmatar BS, the Maelstrom, look slightly like the Nebulon B Frigate? _______________________________________________

Look at the Hurricane. Very easy to figure out what that thing is. (And it's also nice to note that it's one of the few slick-looking Minny ships)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.... the Caldari shuttle???
The catalyst, I see, the Myrm and the Maulus, yeah. The Hurricane = Star Destroyer. The Mael indeed looks like a Nebulon-B. But the shuttle? You got me...
EDIT: After deep meditation which lasted, oh, 5 seconds, I realized that the Caldari shuttle did in fact look like the ARC-170 from Episode III. Didn't see it before.  ______________________/|\_______________________

And as for the new minnie battlecruiser (think its the hurricane) it looks 99% like the hiigaran battlecruiser from Homeworld 2 (a game where battlecruisers actually had something to say in fleet fights lol).

To add to that the Amarr Freighter (Providence) resembles the Rebel troop carriers from the escape from Hoth. and of course the Minmitar freighter (Fenrir) is similar to the Jawa sandcrawler. |

Edited by: Pussey Spankratchet on 04/01/2007 02:44:47 The biggest give away this game is nothing but a cheap Starwars ripoff is the fact it's set in space!
Oh yeah I've also seen someone called Darth Vadar in the game as well I mean how blatent is that?

The Pod is clearly inspired by the deathstar.
It even has a rig around it.

Myrmidon = B-Wing fighter/bomber.

Hardly. They're closer to the upgraded Jedi Starfighters seen in the battle of Coruscant at the beginning of ep. 3

Actually i think the Nebulon B, if looking like anything in EVE looks like the Myrmidon.

Where did they get the rifter design? I think it looks great... not sure if there are any ships in star wars resembling it?

No, it doesnt... The Myrmidon looks a bit like the Minbari Battleships from Babylon 5, although it has only two "fins".

Easier to spot proof:
In Starwars missiles are teh pwn. Look at what a single one (two?) does to the Deathstar! In EVE, missiles are FTW.
On the counter-arguement:
In Starwars lasers are good, and don't seem to be doing EM damage, thermal all the way. In EVE, Lasers are like throwing tomatoes at your enemy.

Ever seen a X-Wing crash site?
