The last of its kind, hidden away in a secluded Nebula deep within Hutt Space, the ancient Planechanga is the Hutts ultimate trump card. Despite being an ancient construct, the Planechanga was built of a very simplistic design, allowing it to function throughout the ages. Strong armor and light shields allow the Planechanga to move into an astroid field. Various tractor beam emitters position and hold asteroids in place while the entire station rotates around the asteroid field much like a massive turret. The center ring assemble creates a massive electromagnetic charge which is used to power repulsor generators and fire asteroids through the rail launcher assembly.
The asteroids become incredibly fast moving missiles that can devastate SSD sized ships or be used to obliterate planets after a few hits.
The Planechanga has no other weapons, slow travel speeds, and must be in orbit to fire upon enemy planets.
Model Design: Burntstrobe (kitbash from Warb_Null materials)
It is a massive mobile gun that fires asteroids and kills SSDS and planets.
It moves slowly, has a long reload time, does incredible damage.
3 SSD/worldship killers! Now the hutts have a reason to be feared! The Hutt's planet killer is an interesting design. To Warb and Burnstorbe, these last three designs are just perfect.I wish I was as good as both :)
if my memories of the Essential guide to warfare those "asteroid Slings" could bust open the crusts of planets but not obliterate them... but it looks interesting nonetheless... but couldn't it be a little bit of an overkill?
damn... i'd like to see an executor with that amount of detail...
*Overkill in the sense of 3 such powerful ships for the huts
It will take 4-5 shots to destroy a planet
OK that sounds better then one hit death^^ and more in line with the aforementioned passage in tHe essential guide, thanks for the answer
Wouldn't that mean that using this would destroy units and buildings on said planets? Will that factor in for the game? Because that would be epic also I hope the Empire has its own super toys I mean we all know the Imperials are where its at right?
Can it target Normal sized enemy capital ships and frigates?
That Nebulon-B must be out of frickin' vibranium. It's survived everything!
maybe it's the sun crusher in disguise
"planechanga" sounds kinda....orkish style, if you know what i mean)
I didn't expect the Hutts to have the coolest fleet, but I'm starting to think they just might.
and the big question...
how to counter them?
We will show our "big ships" after New Years ;)
Seriously? They get bigger... YAHOO!!!
i remember reading about this in the guide to warfare book i wondered what it looked like who would have thought ancient hutts and another alien specie could have built such a big weapon
Does it have anything to do with chimichangas?
If so, does it have anything to do with deadpool?
You know if I remeber right there is a flash point in swtor that takes place on one of these things.
Not exactly one of those, you are talking of Hammer Station, that was a space station built on a big asteroid. The mass driver of the station fired "small" (15 m radius) rocks that could obliterate capital ships and cities.
Now they're pretty much the New Empire! Maybe they should be called the Ylesian Empire instead.
That is a big rail gun.
Instead of firing asteroids, you could fire SSDs at SSDs, and those SSDs could have rail guns that fire frigates, which have rail guns that fire fighters, which have rail guns that fire pilots, which have rail guns that fire rocks.
