Hey /o/, I found pic related at a local scrapyard and got it for a steal. The Jawa who sold it to me knows a guy who'll fix it up like new for a few credits.
I don't know a whole lot about classics. How'd I do?

I think the dirty Jawa just wanted you to keep coming back for parts, anon.
Anyway, I heard sand people like to steal those. Good luck.

>A-WING PROJECT..... 200000 CREDITS NO TOYDARIANS... I KNOW WHAT I GOT...MATCHING SERIALS NO RUST... A REAL CLASSIC.... RAN WHEN LANDED
just get a used tai at auction, replace the panels with blaster holes and paint it so the rebels don't give you trouble. Retrofitting a hyperdrive is the easiest thing in the world as well.
>>16358101
>trusting Jawas
This is where you fucked up OP
>>16358529
Chicks? You're worried about chicks? What chicks are you going to pick up, man?
Had an A-wing for about 3 months, until the hyperdrive actuator crapped out on me. Had to order an aftermarket one from the dagobah system.

Yes.
lmao at you poorfags buying "used" i.e. crashed A-wings from desert nigger Jawas.
Daily reminder you will never afford a vintage N-1 like me.
Stay poor. Stay mad.
>>16358747
"Vintage" just a hipster term for used.
>>16358729
I'm sure the retcon means that the kessel run gets close to a black hole, so the closer you get the more dangerous it is.

The classic Mk I and Mk II were ok. Simple, effective, you needed to know how to handle them to fly them right.
But what the fuck is with the Mk III?
Computer rich pieces of shit, one fucking disposable Raider comes near and the whole vehicles fucking network goes down.
Old ways are best.
Now THIS is superior engineering!
Sure, its meant for short range, and it can't do light speed, but its perfectly balanced. The driver is closer to the center of mass so he doesn't feel the effects of sharp turns.
And this fucker can turn on a dime!

Honestly they're actually pretty lively as long as you get one from an ACTUAL private owner and not from a "private owner"
Rebel "maintenance" was a fucking joke, they ruined the Y-wings reputation because they couldn't be assed to keep the engines from blowing every gasket known to man, assuming they even had someone who even knew what they were doing
>hey kt'ssh, our fighters lost half their top speed and are leaking tibanna everywhere, you think it's time for maintenance?

It's basically the pinnacle of tie design. Shields, hyperdrive, pressurized interior, the works.

Vintage is a relative term in the SW universe. There's been minimal technological advancement in thousands of years. A tie fighter or X-wing isn't that much of an upgrade of things of the old republic or even during the clone wars.
>>16364151
That's incredibly heavy for the size.
And Star Wars hyperdrive is millions of times faster than Star Trek warp travel. Would take 75 years to travel across the galaxy in ST while in SW it takes hours to days.
