Celestia Whitesword stellarmagic Thats no fighter its a Caldari Frigate from EVE Online. I believe this is what she's looking for.  Nice visual, though I was sorta picturing a more elongated nose, similar to the X. 3nodding btw, anyone know what the Naboo folks are using? No clue. The Naboo Security Force is probably using whatever is the latest fad, just shiney and showy. The're not that great of a military, and the naboo Fighter is not that great of a ship.

ElladanKenet But the Naboo did have good stuff and pilots once upon a time Dont mistake their pretty shape for good. A Z-95 could blow them out of the sky. Even the Droid Fighters were better armed. All they had were moderately good pilots.

Not the original droid fighters, I think. Are you referring to the droid fighters in Ep. 1 or 3, because I think they're two different kinds, not counting the trifighters and saucer fighters

I'm talking about the Vulture droids.
They never updated them.
Just like the B1's

Ah, they did. The Mark II was in GB, the comp game. Yet, I was wrong; the Mark I is only shown ever in the movies

Plus, the Nubians seemed to have catalytic converters on their ships... somthing about having every starship be "environmentally friendly".
It no doubt had an effect on performance.

Lets face it, the Nubians are messed up.
Even for Corellians.

I must admit, the Nubian fighters don't exactly look like they'd be that great. Rusty would probably refuse to be loaded into one's droid socket in protest.

they're parade vehicles, not meant for combat.

They still did the job. there were about 30 of them in the BoN, and half made it back home. Against about 5000 droid fighters, I'd say that's pretty damn good

Lets see... a Droid Control ship of the period carries about 1500 Droid Starfighters... against 30 enemy starfighters.
Its pretty obvious the Trade Federation didn't use all of their fighters in the engagement.
Also... dumb droids vs good pilots equal dead droids no matter the craft type.

There were more than one ship; they had a blockade.
Besides, I find it quite characteristic of Nute Gunray to commit way more to an attack then he'd ever need. Sending thousands of ships to crush all opposition seems very much like him
