The E-Wing had a rough start due to weapons problems and droid compatability, but those got solved later on and the E-Wing became an elite starfighter in the fleet.
The K-Wing was pretty much a scaled up, heavy hitting Y-Wing, made by the same manufacturer.
It could carry huge amounts of heavy weapons, could fly as fast as the Y-Wing even though it was bigger, and it's cockpit detaches as an escape pod. It has no hyperdrive so it has to be carried on a large ship. It has a laser turret and a turbolaser on the cockpit to defend against fighter attacks.
Meh, I bet its cause I havent read any of the books past the X-wing series... Which rocks btw.
Well the E-Wing made it's debut in Dark Horse's Dark Empire comicbook series. Very nice design, it was a sleak and natural progression for Alliance starfighters IMHO, borrowing some features from the X-Wing and yet still managing to have an orginal asthetic all of its own, while still looking like it solidly belonged in the Star Wars Universe.
Cracking design.
As for the K-Wing? As I posted earlier, not that fussed on it.
Closed Alpha Test & Deth..
