Other than TFHB - Technical Database (http://hangarbay.tripod.com/td-corvette.html)

Does anyone know any other websites that I can go to for information related to other SW ships?

Yeah, the NIF database is your best bet. Their weapons are actually a little off though at times. It also a good idea to check out the Web Resources page at the NIF Database.

The weapons are, if anything, more accurate than the canon equivilants, such as WEG.

The speeds are messed up, though. But I find taking off the last didget and then doubling the number gives an accurate speed.

WEG isn't Canon... the only use WEG has is so that we know what not to do.

A little? I have the Executor's weapons outfit memorized by heart. 250 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 250 Turbolaser Batteries, 250 Heavy Ion Cannons, 250 Concussion Missile Launchers.

And what does this site list?

1,000 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries
1,000 Turbolaser Batteries
1,000 Proton Torpedo Launchers
1,000 Ion Cannons.

Everything else, except speed, looks fine. But hot damn, that armament is way off.

As for finding sources, trying inserting various ship class names into search and going from there. Usually I'll try Intrepid class Carrier or Mediator class cruiser for more up to date canon references.

I went and did a quick little search:

TheForce.Net
In depth anaylsis of various Star Wars ships

Mon Calamari Shipyards
An older site on Mon Calamari ships. Pretty accurate, but some of the ships are made up.

Galatic Voyage
A pretty good looking site for info on capital ships.

Star Wars Combine
A stats page that accomodates an old online game. Fairly accurate stats, good reference to finding original manufacturer of ships.

Yeah, they based their Execuator Info on the ITW. Note that the ESD is 17,500 kilometers long there too.
