That would work REALLY well. You have a semi-isolated population with significant trade restrictions (read: Space for a black market to flourish). Carnage could happily hijack freighters, then have a good sized market for pretty much any goods.

I suggested a Tof ship mostly for the privateer or pirate feel. The Merriweather or even the Fairwind belong smack dab in a Master-and-Commander type era or look.

If one wanted a ship that was similar to, or could easily be modified to have a beak-like structure, I might suggest a Marauder Corvette or a Braha'tok, both of which should have ample size to make short work of even the most well-armed freighter. The Preybird might be a good fighter to use.

If you want a more modest size to a ship, I think the Nova Courier could have its bow slightly modified to be more beak-like.

Alternately, this could be an opportunity to include alien races from D6 Space, specifically the Gruemor (space bears) and Pherro (space dogs), which can be found in D6 Space Aliens.

That's a good point McNeill, it shouldn't be too hard to design his ship using D6 Space Ships either.

I imagine it would be a small capital ship, maybe a large corvette or a frigate, just judging by how easily the Sea Duck fits in the cargo hold.

OK, I amend my entry. I'd forgotten all about the old Amphibious Interstellar Assault Transport/infantry gunship, aka the AIAT/i !

I love this ship, not only for its caricaturist's likeness to a pontoon'ed 1930's era cargo plane, ala the Seaduck from Tailspin, but also for its absurdly bulky proportions!

Haha, I really like the "Tailspin-conversion" direction this thread has gone. A campaign boxed set is only a few short decades away!

Agreed that Don Karnage wouldn't necessarily need much in the way of appearance change to fit into Star Wars as a space pirate,
though I could also never tell if he was supposed to be a fox (more like the Amaran) or a wolf. If the latter, then the Shistavanen
would be a good fit.

Seeing the Iron Vulture in all its D6-stat glory would be great!

I thought he was a fox. But my Internet says "wolf." If he had been a fox, I was going to suggest a Nalroni would fit.

Maybe the vulture is an imperial escort carrier or a Ton-Falk hijacked from a convoy traveling near the suzette sector or heck a carrier converted acclimator stolen from a supply depot and loaded with V-Wings or V-19's unless theres a burning urge to custom build the ship and fighters heh.

Since this thread has gotten heavily off topic, I started an alternate thread for the TaleSpin themed adventure.

I have never much cared for the Lantillian Short Hauler.

Until now...

EDIT: Whill, this topic is a decent candidate for converting massive imbedded images into links.

Nice looking render. I'll have to add that to my Lantillian Short Hauler images.

I think as iconic designs go, there just is no competition for the T-65 X-Wing, the TIE Interceptor, and the Imperial II Star Destroyer.

They are incredible visual designs, but when it comes to beauty, that term just not seem quite right.

I say the MC80 Home One configuration is certainly a top contender.



As it's main competitor I would field the Lambda Shuttle, which is a completely different type of beauty.



And it would be criminal to not include the StarViper.

The MC80 Liberty-type Star Cruiser is a genuinely great design. Though I've got a soft spot for most of the MonCals, the Liberty's wings give it a boost I think.

The redesigned Defender/Nebula-class Star Destroyer and its Endurance-class cousin are both pretty nice.

The X-70B Phantom-class prototype from Star Wars: The Old Republic is also very pretty.

And along similar lines, basically anything from Nubia StarDrive, as most famously used by the Naboo. Very sleek and very shiny. Special mention goes to one of the lesser-known examples, the Courier-class yacht.

Fury-class Imperial interceptor

X-70B Phantom-class prototype

Both from the imperial side in SWTRO, I simply love these two ships looks
