The whole concept of Survivor is that nameless adults go at each other and try to outwit each other. In reality after the first episode of the show, each one will make a least over a thousand dollars for making appearences on some talk show. The first survivor, the Gay Guy now works at E.T. as a Survivor Consultent, where he gives advice to the new survivors. Not only did he win a million dollars that he now makes twice as much as what most of us make in 5 years.
I highly doubt that hes gay, made his own son run, and walk naked around the site. It was all tactics to get him win a million dollars. Right now I bet hes fucking some girl. Jerry from the second Survivro is something because everyone talks alot about her. The whole concept of Surivivor sucks, and it should end with the second one.
Although I agree wit ya about the docusoaps, it's kind of a funny place to discuss it.

The whole concept of Survivor is get your average Joe and put him/her on the show and see how they react. Afterwards even though they did not win they make money by appearing on shows. There is no point in having to win a million dollars! They will make that amount in 2 months after appearing on 100 different shows!

Oh speaking of fan made starfighters, you should check out the Q-wing starfighter. I would post a picture of it, but the search engine I normally use is f**ked up right now.
There is no reason why I'm saying this, but the list ships used by the rebellion that actually exists in the Star Wars universe (via comics, books, ect. ect.) is as follows:
A-wing
B-wing
E-wing
T-wing
K-wing
X-wing
Y-wing
and that's it. Although z-95 headhunters where used quite frequently in the game Tie Fighter. (which I stillplay to this day! ) They were a bug the ass. But the A-wing's are worse. As a matter of fact I can write a brief summery about each ship. (Now if this does not tell you I need a life I don't know what will! )

Don't feel bad, I can write a long history on Star Wars ships as with Star Trek ships. I also can explain to how power levels work in Dragonballz and what a Guyver is great detail. To make it worse, I can tell you the exact date of any 20th century military battle, I also can tell you what would happen exactly if you introduce a certain element. All this and I'm only 17 years old...

Nice how you can remember the date of every battle in the 20th century. I'm terrible with dates, so I stick to what's used to fight the battles.

A-Wing starfighter:
Weapons: 2 Laser cannons, and 2 cuncussion missle launchers (with 6 cuncussion missles each)
Shields strength: 50 SBD
Hull strength: 15 RU
Top speed: 120 MGLT
Notes: The A-wing starfighter is the rebellion's fastest and most manuverable fighter. It's primary use is for hit and fade assults. The A-wing's shield stregth is fair, but it's hull is vary fragile. This makes even the most minor hit to an unshielded A-wing potentally fatal, so a pilot has to use the ships speed and agility to avoid enemy fire as much as possible. One of the most famous manuevers for the A-wing is called the "A-wing slash" What happens is that a fleet of rebel starfighters would engage an enemy capital ship. Once the capital ship launches it's fighters for protection the X-wing and Y-wing in the fleet will divert the Emperial fighter's attention while the A-wings move in and tear the capital sip appart.
B-wing starfighter.
Weapons: 3 Laser cannons, 3 Ion cannons, and 2 proton torpedo launchers (with 6 proton torpedos each)
Shield strength: 120 SBD
Hull strength: 60 RU
Top speed: 90 MGLT
Notes: The B-wing starfighter is the rebellion's heavy bomber which is very well armed and very tough. The rebellion needed a cheap way of inflicting a heavy amount of damage to the Imperial's capital ships without putting their prized Mon Calimari crusers in the line of fire. What they came up with is the B-wing starfighter, developed by, then, Commander Akbar. It's 12 proton torpedos can pack a very heavy punch towards a capital ship and it's heavy shields and armor can withstand huge amounts of punishment. When it comes to the B-wings fire power, it is, in fact, very customizable. Also, another option for the B-wing is to have a large ammo clip installed on the ship. This clip will increase the amount of proton torpedos the B-wing can fire from 12 to 24 proton torpedos. However, this ammo clip also severely reduces manuverablity. While not the fastest ship you can incounter, the B-wing still is a very dangerous ship.
E-wing starfighter
Weapons: 3 Laser cannons, and 2 Proton torpedo launcher (with 8 proton torpedos each)
Shield strength: 100??? SBU
Hull strength: 50??? RU
Top speed: 105??? MGLT
Notes: The E-wing starfighter is the most advanced ship the Rebellion has. Its 16 proton torpedos can pack an even larger punch than the B-wing's 12. One drawback is that The E-wing can't take quite as much punishment as the B-wing, but it is faster and more manuverable than the B-wing. This gives battle tacticians another option when the B-wing is too slow for a heavy bombing mission. Due to the fact that the E-wing's computer systems are far too advanced for a standard R2 droid,(Like X, and Y-wings, E-wings need astromech plug-ins)the brand new R7 droid is the only atromech droid that can handle the E-wings advanced electronics.
K-wing starfighter
Weapons: 18 hardpoints with which numerous types of weaponry can be installed.
Shield strength: 100 SBD
Hull strength: ?? RU
Top speed: 140?? MGLT
Notes: The K-wing "starfighter" is probably the most unusal starfighter the Rebellion has. The K-wing starfighter is designed to take out military istallations located on the surface of planets.(Even though the rebellion's X, E, and Y-wing starfighters are capable of doing this, none of them work well in a heavy atmosphere and large gravity wells.) Therefor it is designed with very large lift-producing wings, 3 very large engines for thrust, and multiple repulsor-lift generators. All of these features are needed for the K-wing to handle heavy atmospheres and large gravity wells. The K-wing also features 2 shield generators and very heavy armor.
Unfortunatly other than any anti-starfighter missles the K-wing MIGHT be carrying, it doesn't have any weapons to deal with enemy starfighters. This is why the K-wing has such heavy shielding and armor. It is prefered that other starfighters capable with dealing with Ties escort K-wings with a 1 to 1 ratio, at the very minimum the K-wing sould get a 2 to 1 escorting ratio. Another draw back is that the K-wing doesn't have a hyper drive. A rebellion capital ship has to serve as home base for K-wing starfighters.
Much like our real-life fighter jets, the K-wing has 18 hardpoints with which technians can install any varaity of missles, bombs, and torpedos. However, once 18 missles or torpedos run out, it's time for the K-wing to leave. The K-wing can also be used in space to deliver a nasty surprise to imperial capital ships. The K-wing is a bit faster than the X-wing however, it is far less manuverable. The K-wing also has a crew of two poeple; One pilot, and one weapons specialist.
T-wing starfighter
Weapons: 2 Laser cannons (Some modified T-wings also have 2 cuncussion missle lauchers with 3 missles each.)
Shield strength: 20 SBD
Hull strength: 15 RU
Top speed: 110 MGLT
Notes: The T-wing starfighter is the weakest starfighter the rebellion has at their disposel. Sending anyone into battle in a T-wing would almost be suicide, and the reasons for this is obvious. Not only does the T-wing starfighter have no more than 2 laser cannons for weapons, it's shields and hull are even more fragile than that of an A-wing starfighter. It's only plus side is its top speed, which measures up to be 110 MGLT. This makes it as fast as a Tie Interceptor and it also makes it the pilots only hope to come out of battle alive. The E-wing starfighter also goes by the nicknames "the poor man's A-wing" and "the flying coffen."
X-wing starfighter.
Weapons: 4 laser cannons, and 2 proton torpedo launchers (with 3 proton torpedos each)
Shield strength: 50 SBD
Hull strength: 20 RU
Top speed: 100 MGLT
Notes: The X-wing starfighter is the primary (and most famous) space surpiriority fighter used by the Rebellion. It's claim to fame was its achievement of destroying the first Death Star over the planet of Yavin with out any help from Rebellion capital ships. The X-wings speed and manuverability makes it perfect for dogfighting with other fighters. A quality which can be VERY handy to have if your on an escorting mission. With the X-wing's 50 SBD shields and 20 Ru hull, the X-wing can take an okay amount of damage, but still not as much as the Rebelion's B and Y-wings.
Y-wing starfighter
Weapons: 2 Laser cannons, 2 Ion cannons, and 2 Proton torpedo launchers (with 4 proton torpedos each)
Shield strength: 75 SBD
Hull strength: 40 RU
Top speed: 80 MGLT
Notes: The Y-wing, before the introduction of the X-wing starfighter, was the Rebelion's flagship starfighter. It's official designation is that of a medium bomber with it's 8 proton torpedos. Although very durable the Y-wing's limitations were made very clear when only 1 out of 24 Y-wings came back from The Battle of Yavin dispite it's surpirior durability compared to the X-wing. One reason for this is that the Y-wing starfighter is very slow by starfighter standards and it's not very manuverable. Those limitations can give Tie Fighters an advantage in a dogfight.
And that's it. NOW SCRAM!

Nimrod - erm yes I knew that. I was talking about the ship that Gavin was serving on during the initial battles against the new aliens, the Yuuzhan Vong - how the hell is that pronounced?
It was stated to be just a bit shorter than the old Vic, and had launch bays up AND down (Page 59 of Dark Tide I).
So, information (i.e. pics and specs, or link ) on the following would be VERY much appreciated;
1) The new Mon Calamari battle cruiser 'Mediator' (page 3 of Vector Prime)
2) The 'Jade Sabre'
3) The Mon Calamari Star Defender (page 77 of Vector Prime)
4) The Ranger-class Gunships (numerous pages in Vector Prime)
and finally (for now)
5) The Bothan Assault Cruiser 'Ralroost'
Cheers

"We have to get drunk immediately."----Gattaca
What I mean by Technically advanced that he uses alot of measuments on things and can get an accurate measurement on ships. He also if there is a slight difference in starship design such as a different bridge, he'll call it a totally different ship than the first one. In comic books where the artist drew a Imperial class ship funny he'll call that a different design too even though it was meant to be a Imperial class starship.

Thank you very much for your summaries to the Star Wars starfighters. I would like you to know that I appreciate the time and effort you took to type them up and add them to the discussion board, especially the E-, K- and T-wings as I have very little information on them (especially the latter two).
Once again, thank you. Oh and if you feel like doing the same for any other craft from the Star Wars universe, you will have my support (i.e. I shall read whatever you type).

Saxton will label a different ship that it the bridge its slightly taller than the first one, however the ships creators just draw randonly ships to make it "filler" in fleet scenes.

Actually I can't say much about SW-comics, good or bad, my brother has just started buying some, like "SW: Bounty Hunters" and "Adventures of Aurra Sing".
