Fare Wars: The Old Republic

·

Coruscant traffic is bad enough without a Jedi hailing a cab, but spud_the_viking makes the commute look downright heroic. This SWTOR taxi is bright, punchy, and instantly readable: a slab of taxi-yellow speeder wrapped around Jedi Knight Shaaw Ti, with just enough Star Wars greebling to keep it from turning into a space banana.

Fare Wars: The Old Republic

I really like how compact the shaping is here. The tapered nose gives the taxi that chunky Old Republic videogame feel, while the gray front intake and side vents break up the yellow in all the right places. The curved transparent windscreen is doing a ton of work too, giving the cockpit a proper bubble-canopy swoosh without burying the figure. Add the black fins and little engine pods out back, and suddenly this thing feels ready to weave between skyscrapers while someone yells about surge pricing in Aurebesh.
