That felt strangely passive aggressive.

Edit: Nice edit Syn.

I don't care about Azronger and I didn't start my conversation with you based on any previous conversation you may have had with him. I'm asking whether or not the text suggests the other ships had wings.
That's not the point I was making, the point was that there are multiple attributes missing here, not just the wings but the afterburners too. Which instead align with a different ship. That said I'll look at the source again to get some more clarity.

Tommorow.

The only attribute missing in regards to the addition of the wing is for a single ship Dooku manipulated. Not the rest of them.

That's fine.

They were described as being very large in one capacity or another.

Provide the quote then.

"like dark, giant phantoms.

Whoopeee, they're significantly larger than a human. 👆

Didn't you and Xtasy already go over this in the thread and he provided a bunch of quotes regarding the ships one of which said it was "enormous?"

He provided a quote calling the hangar bay "enormous" :/

And LOL at the implication that Fated Xtasy actually beat me in a debate.

Mind linking me to that thread then because I distinctly remember him providing you multiple quotes regarding the ships size which you are apparently aware of despite asking for them again here...

LOL at you assuming I made any such implication.

I honestly don't remember which thread it was. I'm pretty sure it didn't even have anything to do with Dooku.

But the only quotes I can think of are:

1. "Cruisers" (which Jude Watson uses to refer to practically every ship in the book)

2. The hangar being "enormous" (which immediately afterwards is attributed to the fact that there so many service bays, ergo it's huge due to the number of ships it's meant to handle)

3. The metaphor saying the ships were lined up like "giant phantoms" (which only proves that they're large relative to the traditional phantom, which is generally human sized)

4. The afterburner tanks being "huge" (which again was relative to modern afterburner tanks, since it was describing how outdated the technology was, and wasn't a comment on the size of the whole ship)

5. And the ships being "clunky" (again, a comment on the outdated technology)

I'll ask Xtasy.

Unless one of you can definitively prove it wasn't a Sith battle cruiser, it remains as one. It's the simplest conclusion.

Well, Beni proved that one of the ships Dooku moved wasn't a Sith cruiser as it had wings but he he hadn't done so with the other ones.

No the burden of proof is on the people trying to claim Dooku can ragdoll multi-hundred meter ships.

You can't rely on the word "cruiser" to prove that when the word has been used in the same novel to refer to ****ing speeders.

Does anyone have the passage?

Unfortunately, the trump card of parsimony comes up against a few obstacles that make it a not so simple conclusion, the author referring to everything and anything as cruisers being the main culprit. Cruiser is simply a designation given to ships of varying sizes and there are no specifications in the Novel, meaning the subject remains unclear.

I can see Maul defeating Vader in sabers. Let's see, both have about the same stamina, Maul has superior speed, but Vader has superior strength. It seems similar to Malgus vs Maul but with Vader having less mobility than Malgus.

I think that one comic with Vader vs Maul is a pretty accurate depiction of what might happen.

In all out, Maul would be hard-pressed to win. Vader will just resort to his force powers if Maul gains any type of saber-skill advantage.

A very well thought-out and balanced view on the matter, Kurk. I agree.
