I think the idea is you can add as many ‘container bubbles’ as you want, but not sure if that would mean you would need a bigger/more powerful drive unit?
A secondary function will be like mobile base/space station/city.

Hadn’t thought about this one in a while. The original source puts the diameter of the force field spheres at 800 meters, with the ability to daisy-chain 20 or more. The source for this (the WEG Adventure Black Ice) appears to use different sizes (~1300+ meters in diameter). I hadn’t noticed that the field spheres were connected purely by energy; I’d always assumed they had a spar down the middle to facilitate power and tensor field linkages. Another possible concept for this would be to put a repeater or power generating unit midway through the consist of force bubbles. Real… Read more »

Oh, I see. So it’s just a large cargo freighter? Interesting.

Hah, if not for Drew’s comment, I probably wouldn’t have found out that this is in fact a [Legends]canon ship! Thanks, Drew! Apparently it’s 7800m long. (Wookieepedia)
Also how does hyperdrive work here
Can there be more bubbles

Wow how big is this
Approx 7.8km. Though that may vary. 🙂
This particular configuration with the 5 bubbles is ~15.5km
Got it
Jeez, that’s big. lol 😛

Well, I happen to think that this ship is very bizarre and super freaky looking !
Excellent !
What’s the purpose of anything like this anyways? As cool as it is, I just don’t see any particular use for this…

Holy Crap! Black Ice! I loved that adventure!
Whoa, what are the dimensions of that thing? Looks amazing!
