Is the drift really necessary for plot of the Sojourn ? I just have idea how to replase it in fusion drives.
Nice video! I thought it was Wade Barrett from NXT doing commentary😁😁
Awesome video!!!
I look up the Liberty class cruiser and there you are with your new video! Just six hours old, lucky me :D
Can you make videos on Legend of the Galactic Heroes?

MON CALAMARI CRUISER READY
Awaiting orders!
a fellow MC-80 fan and spammer! gotta love that sheild overcharge ability. i tried getting tne remake mod.... any tips on how to install mods in general? im using the GOG version because no money for steam version
@@aurorathearcticwolf4243 Just think you have to place it in your EAWX folder. It's been too long since I had GOG, I rethought it on steam and its soo much easier so I'd recommend it when u get the money
@@aurorathearcticwolf4243 there's also a total conversion mod that's going to be for steam only soon. It makes the game take place during the clone wars. It's called republic at war
I still think the whole "converted passenger liners" is like the CEC "freighter" designation: Plausible deniability to produce warships under Imperial noses.
Shades of the Dornier 17 bomber’s genesis as a *cough* high-speed mail plane.
@@Assassinus2 The He-111, C-47, Ju-52, and Fw-200 starting out as passenger planes be like:
@@sirboomsalot4902 yeah but those are planes, outside of the USS langley which was more of a proof of concept all warships are purpose built to be warships and nothing else.
That's basically what it is, at least in Legends canon.
@@jonashemmingsson7301 Legends canon took the "converted liners" seriously, IIRC. At least at first, and the old West End RPG Rebel Sourcebook had new ships of the same designs being slowly pumped out, with enough of a guard force to hold off most sector/oversector fleets, but a major fleet would be too much. My headcanon has the Mon Calla/Dac shipyards equal to KDS, and produced a mix of civilian and military designs, and the sector governor is a Rebel sympathizer that feeds the ISB and other intelligence agencies the cover story. If I ever run a Star Wars RPG again (using the old d6 system... especially with the FFG re-release of the 1st edition and my own collection of 2e stuff), the PCs would be working under Craken to prevent the Imps from discovering the truth.
Such a beautiful ship. While I certainly love the dagger shaped built Kuat Drive Yard Star Destroyers it's hard to ignore both the Mon Calamari Quarren built ships that rivaled those space daggers on so many levels.
I absolutely love the Recusant class Destroyer
@@michaelcarney6280 I love the Providence class myself. That and the Venator are my 2 favorite of the Star Wars Universe. So hard to choose.
Mon Calamari, Quarren.
@@DMSProduktions i did not realize my auto correct doesnt like star wars names. Guess ill have fo edit that.
@@PennsyPappas LOL! NW mate! ;o)
Mon Cala hands know how to make miracles. Just think these ships were meant for exploration then turned into warships. But when they put actual warships to work you get beauties like the MC-90. Respect towards my aquatic brothers. The alliance couldn’t have gotten by without ya.
Star Trek has done similar -Constitution- and Galaxy-class cruisers and Intrepid-class science vessels were both explorers that made effective warships when pushed into the role.
@@bobojo37 I am not that a dedicated star trek fan but still like them alot. But it always amused me how there were kids on galaxy class ships. Like those ships are still armed heavily so it's like the federation knows those ships will get into trouble in their exploration.
Then we have the legendary Viscount class.
Reminds me of the original Tau Battle Fleet Gothic ships (I know RotJ came out first). First ships were the Explorer class which were massive until they made the more economical Merchant Class but that class couldn't hold its own against Ork Kill Krusers. When they met the Imperium, they tried to copy the Lunar Class with their Hero class.

My powers have DOUBLED since we last met "Count"...
@@AllknowingUnknown Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.
Shouldn't that be counting on it?
@@Kb-cz9ch Nice pun ;)
@@michaelandreipalon359 Not when they were utilized as warships, no. But when they were still used as exploration vessels, cruise liners, and colony ships? Yes

The winged pickle, and the regular homeone pickle are a formidable combo in armada as well....
Now that's a name I haven't heard in quite some time
Home One Super pickle the enemy of all
Just used 2 in a 800 pt game, they're a must have
Mon Calamari ships are just gorgeous and one of my all time favorite ship designs within Star Wars.
A true stalwart of the Rebellion. Thank you, Spacedock!
Also, it's good to hear Alisdair's voice again.
One of my favorites! Give me a Mon Cal over those mass market Kuat jalopies any day.
That’s treason
ISB have flagged ur comment for treason - prepare to be arrested
I laugh at your Imperial goon squads, they won't bother me here on Alderaan, thank you very much.
@@illyth63 do you by any chance see a moon size battle station near ur planet. Just wondering for a friend
EH, give me however many Venators you can maintain for the same cost of that one with modernized fighter wings and you got way more flexibillity and striking power.

“The shields and hull are extremely powerful”
*Shows it being blown up effortlessly*
@@averyreuber1150 Actually, no, the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer and the MC80 are both in Zero Range (I think that's what it was called), basically, the shields of both ships are useless because in that range the energy of the weapons is just too much for the shields
@@nicolasheredia956 No. They are just less effective. But from what I saw the shields of the MC80 weren't even up.
@@projectpitchfork860 yeah, probably because of the cr90 that just crashed into it
Just over here binge-watching Spacedock when they come out with another banger.
You gotta love that they added WINGS to this design to make it look even cooler
I think they are meant to be fins, remember the Mon Calamari are an underwater species and the majority of their ships are Submersible.
“The shields of the Liberty type are extremely powerful”
Shows an MC80 being destroyed by an ISD 2
To be fair, the octuple turboblasters barbettes of the ISD 2 are known for packing quite a punch. For example, I once saw one destroy an MC80, despite their extremely powerful shields.
it had just been infiltrated to take out an ion cannon, which caused a CR90 to crash into it. perhaps the damage inflicted during this caused the shields to be weaker/patchy
Keep in mind, despite what disney shows, the ISD 1 and 2 packed 60 HEAVY ion cannons, as well as 60 turbolasers and 8 octuple barbette heavy turbolasers.
In legends, even with the introduction or the mc90, mc80b and even the legendary Nebula class star destroyer, no ship managed to measure up to the ISD line, wich is why it lasted for decades.
The Mc80 liberty type had strong shields, but in a one to one it would've always succumbed due to a lackluater of offensive capability, it relied on starfighters more than anything
@@michelecastellotti9172 I mean the irony of talking about how powerful they are while simultaneously showing one being destroyed.
@@Astrobaut oh yeah, yeah many makes that mistake, i mean, he could've used the image with the phrase "despite this, in a one on one engagement, the mc80 liberty type was no match for imperial star destroyers and heavily relied on its fighter complement to weaken the enemy ship" wich is lore accurate.
1:44 "the shields of the liberty type are extremely powerful compensating for the vessels below average hull armor"
Probably not the best clip for this sentence...
"...the emperor's death..."
so, who's telling him?
THE EMPEROR IS DEAD !!!
The Star Wars movie saga ended at Episode 6.
Episodes 1 to 6 - and that's it.
We do NOT speak of those ............ other things.
@@vlweb3d Emperor *Palpatine* is dead. May Emperor Mittens rule forever.
@@Th0ughtf0rce the tighter he squeezes the more star systems shall slip through his fuzzy paws
Looking forward to seeing more on these beauties. MC-30B, MC-75, MC-80 - and the varients (wingless liberty, and Independence-class) and maybe the Mon Romonda (MC-80B)...
Not to forget the Mc-40s!
I love these cruisers, my favorite capital ships in Star Wars . Every time I see one duel a star destroyer in games, movies and comics my eyes light up!
Ah those Mon Calamari ships are always awesome
The role in the various engagements and technical specs of the MC80 aside:
i think it's a ship with beautiful ship design as well.
great job on the narration, Alasdair!
Another one of my MOST favorite Starships in Star Wars!!!
ABSOLUTELY fraking enjoyed watching this one right here.
Love the Liberty Type. It's one of my mainstay capital ships in EAW.
I’m so glad I found this channel a few days ago! I love how quick, concise, and informative these breakdowns are. Definitely going to subscribe. Keep up the great work!
Mon Calamari vessels were also extremely accurate which compensated their limitations. I remember reading that in the original 'A Guide to the Star Wars Universe' back in '85.
Another great ship breakdown.
Nice vid well done! I really enjoy learning about this in-depth lore it helps flesh out the star wars universe for me
Videos like this is what got me into this channel so many years ago
One of the all-time best ship designs
I love how passenger liners shoved with some boom boom guns is better than a ISD which is designed to be a warship
finally more mon´calamary ships
I would be interested in more Space Battleship Yamato content ^^
Could you do a review of the Terran Dominion behemoth Class cruiser from Starcraft
Hell yes.
Such good content. This channel is amazing
Rebellion-era MC80 Mon Calamari Cruisers are without a doubt my favorite capital ship in all of Star Wars. I'm not even sorry.
Thank heavens! I've been waiting for this! This is arguably my favorite sci-fi starship, beating out the Klingon Vor'cha and the Federation Akira.
Great vid Spacedock! Great stuff on the MC80.
Really cool channel, just found you by random chance. You're like the Spookston of sci-fi ships. I literally don't know anything about either tanks or spaceships, nor do I play any games focused around either, but for some reason I find these types of channels limitlessly entertaining.
Mon Cals make beautiful organic-looking ships
pseudo-organic. The Vong would very much like to argue your description.
So hyped about this video as this is my flagship for my rebel fleet in armada
I was waiting for this since i found the channel
When your MC-80s outnumber the Imperial Star Destroyers... That feels good.
Beautiful!
"from which the Empire would never recover"
Darth Krayt's reaction to that information:
Darth Krayts is powerless against the overwhelming power of Mickey Mouse and the Disney Empire, which has decided that Darth Krayt never existed and is now just fan fiction.
Love the organic shapes of the MonCalamari models!
I have been dying for this one! I needed this info! Clutch post
What an iconic ship! Its bulbous shape reminds me of the UESC Marathon, which you should totally consider reviewing!
Since X-Wing Alliance, my favorite spaceship ever. Love it.
My favorite Mon Calamari ship, I really love it's design.
Thank you
Below average hull armor... These craft had been build with ocean depths in mind meaning their hulls had been some of the strongest. Might want to update this one.
You should collab with EC Henry.
the most ambitious crossover of this young decade
MC80 My favorite ship in Star Wars love the look
Very capable, heavy ship design. Used successfully for remote fleet group operations. They made for good carriers, enabling the Alliance to do their famous or infamous starfighter raids, depending on which side of the political aisle you were on. 😁😁
I remember MC-80 Liberty with X-wing Alliance! My favorite home :)
That was fun!
Heyyy! Welcome back dude! It’s been a while since you did a video.
My favorite mon cala design
Great hope to see you review the whole MonCal Line (MC30, Mc 40, and the other MC 80s and the Dauntless)
One of the best
Awesome channel! i discovered it a few days ago. Tons of interesting videos to watch :D.
Do you have plans to do videos about Elite Dangerous ships?
I am very happy that you are doing ship videos again. I have A question have you done videos on the ships shown in the show Andromeda ?
I love Star Wars ship design
Unless it was used elsewhere... *Omg, holy shit, that's the Battle zone theme at the beginning and end of your vids!* I never expected to hear that anywhere where I wasn't deliberately searching for it!
You had me at "Invincible Faith"
Can you please cover the Valor Class Cruiser from the Old Republic. I loved your Video on the harrower!
Mon xala ships are beautiful, they are unique doesn't have overexposed bridge and look like something of a rebellion
I think the idea that Mon Calamari vessels were explorers and passenger ships is Legends material, especially since their history was rewritten so they were part of the Old Republic instead of being discovered by the Empire. The canon story now is that they were government buildings on Mon Cala that they launched into space and strapped engines to. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it's what they tell me.
Legit my favorite Capital ship design in all Star Wars
You got to do the Home one ship love all your videos✌
I know this must sound like a shallow comment, but I just love how bubbly this ship looks 😊
More specs pls. Very enjoyable
CCS Battlecruiser. I've been gone, but I'm back baby!
i would like you to cover the warships of the Honor Harrington universe, perhaps a general overview then the first ship we get to know, HMS Fearless, and yes, i know it's a book series
One thing I have always been curious about and that we rarely see...is where are the gun batteries/ports on Mon Cal cruisers? Like they are barely shown as firing their weapons and when they do...we rarely see the weapons they fired from (bar battlefront 2)...mostly laser bolts appearing from the ship.
I seen there turrent there small if you play campaing go slow and see bf2
I would love to see the Viscount version with the mc80 Wings on it
Hey Spacedock, I know this may be outside your wheelhouse but there's an anime called "Starship Operators" that deals with realistic-like space battles. the first episode deals with the crew of the hero-ship figuring out how to take on a ship armed with a large rail gun that produces its own munitions while moored to an asteroid.
Those three dislikes were Admiral Ozzel, Piet and the Emperor
The Mon Cals hard-carried the Rebellion in the space-battle department. The Rebels' MC-series flagship had a Mon Calamari admiral calling the shots, for goodness's sake. You wanted to blow up some Star Destroyers, you went to Ackbar and all of his trap-detecting memery.
“It’s a Trap!”
These things are very hard targets, but watching one burn is soooo satisfying. Long live the Emperor.
You guys need to do the Vindicator heavy cruiser
You should go over some of the ships from moonbase 12, a short LEGO stop motion series on RUclips, it’s got a couple cool ships
Nice video, made me subscribe, but I've got a question. Will you ever cover Starcraft 2 as well? Maybe some Terran designs
Have you looked at the ships from Space Above and Beyond at all? Couldn't see any vids.
LIKED! Also, can you do a vs video of Thrawn and his Chimera against Sisko and his pimphand, the USS Defiant? I'd REALLY like to see those two go toe-to-toe in a proper fight...!
For the rebellion
That was excellent. But hey, the Emperor didn't die? Did he. LOL
When your defence is so good people don’t want to bother fighting you - mon calimari fleet design
I haven't watched a spacedock video in a while, why is the voice over a different person? What happened?
Nothing has happened Alasdair just sometimes reads
u
Cobara Mk3 next please
Beef up the armor and it's a damn good ship
Thats not just a Spaceship its an damm Hero in its own right
Have you done The Starship Heart of Gold? Can't find it.
I would combine the best qualities of this ship with the Starhawk class battleship.
can you do some videos about the series space 2063. i found the chiggy von richthofen parts with the experiemential chig fighter amazing.
It's quite interesting to see that it wasn't just the Empire who decided to not have a single laser cannon on most of there capital ships or heavy frigates cause I've noticed a disturbing lack of laser cannons on a lot of Rebel vessels including most of there capital ships though I guess it makes sense since the Empire never really focused on using it's carrier's whether that be the old Venator, Ton Falk or Secutor and instead opted for most just Imperial Star Destroyers and almost nothing else sadly.
Those weapons could target Starfighters just fine thank to advanced fire control systems on MC so they don't need laser cannons
Considering the Rebels already had a doctrine that favored starfighters as well as corvettes and frigates actively supporting bigger warships, I don't think that's an issue
It’s a bumpy star destroyer
I would take this ship.
strike cruiser breakdown please?
