What's the purpose of the Thresher's HUUGE wings.

In light of a recent poll about the prongs on the Shrike...


What's the purpose of the Thresher's HUUGE wings.

[travisdh1]

Any large object jutting from a ship = smack the fighters that get to close.

[Triaxx2]

Totally barrel rolls. That's how the Thresher deals with fighters.

[brucewarren]

They are obviously a movie screen adjusted for boron eyes.

To your average boron green must appear as white would to us,
so when they want to see an in ship movie, they just pull up and aim the
projector at the big "white" to them area.

That also explains why the ships colours can't be changed. It would
spoil the movies.

[EmperorJon]

That is possibly the most genius random idea I've ever heard.

[Gazz]

Getting rid of excess heat in space is a serious issue because of that heat conduction issue in a vacuum.

By having an extremely large surface, the Thresher manages to be a COOL SHIP.

[EmperorJon]

It sure is cool.

[AgamemnonArgon]

Cool ship, gets sunk quite easily out of Sector otherwise I would have bought more than two.
Which were sunk.
By - :
1) Xenon Q, Out of Sector,
2) Pirate Carrack, Out of Sector

[EmperorJon]

That's odd. The Q only wins because of it's epic OOS barrage... actually I suppose the Q would strike first, shame... if not then the Thresher would have won, yes...

If the Q had 4 PPCs and 8 IBLs, then the Thresher barged in with its full PPC front... XD

When construction began, it was to be a new destroyer class and replacement for the Ray.
Before completion, the Boron populace demanded a decrease in military
spending. So to placate the whiners it was re-classed as an M7 and a few
shields got left out as did the large weapons generator that was to be fitted
in the wings.

It's clearly been quite a while since the last major skirmish with the Split.
The wings were simply left in place to allow for a political u-turn.

[Gazz]

The Q is not special. About any M7 can one-shot any other M7.
It's just that the player doesn't usually take notice if his M7 instagibs yet another Q.

[EmperorJon]

@Gazz I know, that's what I always say about the Q. In fact, if you look at the wiki page, you'll see... Oh no, it's changed. I did once put something there that said, it's not really that bad, it's just the most common enemy capital, so it gets a bit of a reputation.

[Sabrina Bergin]

I think they sunbathe on them in low planetary orbit

I remember that. And it has gone walkies, probably when the page got reorganised. I'm putting it back in.

*cough* You mean Star Wolf? They got pretty creative with that one.

hehehehhe

Always my favourite character from that was star wolf. I even use Wolf O'Donnell as my pilot name on occasion

Kill me now.
