@@stevenscott2136 it's hilarious, but when you realize that airlines in the US made a study where they found out that they could literally save thousands of dollars a year by reducing the number of peas in their in-flight meals by 2-3, your comment is not as funny in-universe 😂
@@noneedtoknow07 I am still not sure how I feel about what they did about that in Rogue One because I always saw the Battle of Yavin plan as shooting the Death Star's engine via its tailpipe.
One of my personal favorites is the Acclimator. The term Assault Ship is rarely used correctly in Star Wars, and I am happy it has correct representation. It also looks great, I love the silhouette.
Alphabet Squadron really made me like that ship.
@@EckhartsLadder I haven't gotten around to getting that one yet. Only new books I've read so far is the new Thrawn trilogy, as the original one is my favorite of the EU alongside Darth Plagueis. I would also like to errata my original comment to state only the first Acclamator, as the Acclamator II is an insult to its predecessor.
The one minor issue I have with the Acclimator is that it has a holographic bridge that doesn't need windows… but they still put it out exposed on top of a pylon, when it could have been buried deep inside the main hull of the ship.
If I had one, I would get the bridge module relocated inside, the slight loss of internal capacity would be worth it. And the area where the bridge previously was mounted could be used for weapons turrets and/or other useful external modules - but turbolasers with a 360° arc would be perfect for the top.
As a added bonus it drastically reduces the height profile of the ship, which may benifit the shields and will definately be useful should the Acclimator have to flip sideways to squeeze through a narrow …[okay] moderately wide gap… to avoid pursuit.
And just with parking.
@@casbot71 That's fair, but it is a common pitfall in Star Wars, so it didn't feel as bad to me. Also, the word parking in this context is very funny to me.
@@raser4329 it could squeeze into large hangers a _bit_ easier, the roof wouldn't need to be as high… always useful for underground bases.
Ever been in a oversized vehicle and looked nervously at the height restrictions in a garage or tunnel?
And as I've already mentioned, flipping it on its side and squeezing between a rectangular shaped gap (while thousands of crew get thrown about inside without warning), in order to lose the Providence or Victory Class on your tail.
"Captain it worked, your stunt lost them … hang on, reports are coming in, over a hundred crewmembers have thrown up. …"
Why isnt the AT-PT in here ???

@@EckhartsLadder it might work better as a star fighter than a walker if its just modified for space flight tbf
The AT-PT could take on a at te
@@EckhartsLadder pin this lmao
@@Izz7879 No... the AT-PT could bring down a Star Destroyer! 💀
I’ll admit the first season is tough to get through but Rebels brought so much to the table for Star Wars. It’s pretty good.
Honestly, I downright like season one, and two is the one I can barely sit through.
That's kinda how it is for most shows. Heck, it took Star Trek TNG two entire seasons to catch its footing, same with DS9.
Then they took off running.
I get you... Season one gives too much the vibe of a show made for kids. I truly disliked Ezra during the first episodes. The fact that he had a slingshot in a vambrace was almost too much for me to handle. It truly felt like an animated commercial for toys... It's good that it found its footing and turned our to be a good show overall
I really don’t like rebels, too much plot armor, if Thrawn can’t defeat them, they are never in real danger.
@@tetraxis3011 I mean... it's kind of in the spirit of the OT... it's the same exact reason why the Empire sucks at catching the Millennium Falcon in ESB, or why Vader wasn't very good at catching the rebels and whatnot; no matter how hard he tried, they almost always escaped his grasp.
But hey, at least Thrawn almost completely decimated their fleet. I think there was only about four or five ships that escaped the battle over Atollon; that's only about four or five ships out of the thirty or forty cruisers, medical frigates and blockade runners that made up the entirety of their rebel fleet. And those four or five ships only escaped due to the Mandalorian fighters that attacked the Imperial Interdictor cruisers from behind. (And due to the incompetence of a couple of the Imperials.)
The Ghost is quite possibly one of the best designed spaceships in fiction. The Millennium Falcon will always have a special place in my heart, it's one of the first ships I ever fell in love with and along with its movie-mates the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, CR90, and ISD-I sparked in me a lifelong love of design, modeling, and now kitbashing, but the VCX-100 is on another level.
I actually grew to hate the Millennium Falcon and for one reason, that forsaken out of pkace cockpit. Seriously the fact that Han and Kando can pillote that thing through narrow spaces at top speed without crashing the whole ship is saying much of their piloting skills.
I'm not a fan of the falcon. I wouldn't say it's shit. I do have my Questions on how good it actually is. I'm pretty it's just a marketing and plot armour and plot gun device in many occasions.
I just don't what to think of it.
i also just hate people's reactions when you say anything bad about the falcon. they act as if you just murdered someone becuase you felt like it.
so for ne it's just a ?
It's great for story telling much like serenity was in firefly
The Falcon is popular purely because it's the "hero" ship.
It has no particular distinctive features, aside from the glaring flaw of the cockpit. Its alleged speed is a rare modification -- you might as well get excited about a VW Bug just because some gearheads have modded a few into drag racers.
@@stevenscott2136 There is nothing funnier than watching someone show up in a VW Bug with a 911 engine, especially when the guy who drives it had to take out the front seat to fit behind the steering wheel (he's 6'11")
It's always a nice time when people, especially star wars fans, recognize the Rebels show.
Who else besides star wars fans would recognize rebels?
People who don't like Rebels can kiss the hairiest part of my ass.
I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It starts a bit slow at first, but starts picking up as it goes on.
I find the show generally boring and overhyped quite frankly. It relied too much on guest appearances and fanservice for my liking.
Rebels was my first introduction to star wars and I was very young and grew up with this show. I personally think that it's really good but I think that's just nostalgia, so I don't argue with people who think it's trash.
My personal favorite was the Venator. It carries such a large amount of starfighters it's almost stupid. If the empire had one or two of these ships attached to each star destroyer fleet. Then the rebels would've not been a threat.
I like the Venator, but in my opinion it is over rated (at least in terms of being an assault ship). It is better as a carrier
If they wanted to go carrier route the Quasar would be better. it's more or less a giant hanger with engines. IMO
I love the Venator but totally agreed. As with most things it works far more effectively in a mixed fleet than as a single do-it-all ship.
A Venator would have been perfect in Rebel hands. It could park just beyond the edge of a solar system, and then launch reel fighters, which have hyperdrives, to make attack runs.
Personally I love the Trade Federation/CIS ships like the Lucrehulk-class, the Providence-class and the Munificent-class. I just love how the look.
The Lucrehulk is definitely an underappreciated great. There's so much about its design that's interesting, especially how it can also make an awesome looking orbital space station.
I think the Munificient class is awesome, it is a cool design that fits well in the sw universe
right there with you, particularly the Providence class, i adore those broadside mounted turbolaser batterys
@@TheErickDH **BOOOOM** **plink** **BOOOOOM** **plink**
@@darthmandalorian9 and it's fast and easy to make wich is why it's every were in the clone wars and the CIS's most commen ship.
One ship I absolutely love is the Bothan Assault Cruiser, it's such a well designed and powerful ship. Perfectly well armed for its role and it could even bring in a decent amount of star fighters into battle, no where near as many as a dedicated carrier, but still enough for star fighter screening.
I love that thing in project stardust (roblox) its such a fun and powerful compact ship
Almost reminds me of a Halo UNSC ship.
@@klutzkerman1664 yup it looks like a UNSC cruiser
@@louierenault7344 Yeah ... as covenant main i hate to fight against this ship because how many times i had problem to just damage it . It's just good unit .
@@piotrmiler234 ralhroost or the standard one,ralrhost has shield tolerance and burst torps iirc
The Corellian ships are definitely my favorites. I love the functional look, and that red-on-white color scheme for the Tantive IV complements it beautifully.
The Ghost is what the Falcon could’ve been if it had a starfighter attached
And multiplied 3 times that is
@TrueFact good point
@TrueFact one awing , Vs 2 docked heavy starfighter and 1 cargo bay docked starfighter and 1 Phantom attack shuttle
Does anyone knows here any story/situatin there a YT-1300 has atached goods to their forks, those realy give the appearence of somkind of cargo holder?
Carriers and the Ghost are great in the same way that Soundwave is one of the coolest Transformers toys; being able to deploy little buddies is just a fun feature.
I really really love the hammerhead cruiser from KOTOR. The ship was literally the backbone of the republic fleet for well over a thousand years and did its job very very well. I love how its almost a mini star destroyer when it comes to serving as a small command/carrier warship. Plus its design is top tier.
Another quality design from the Corellian Engineering Corporation.
Weird fave for me was the inclusion of transports in rebel fleets. I always saw them as acting as logistical support craft carrying fuel and supplies for ships. Given that the rebellion is a borderline nomadic army with few ports that they could safely use it made sense that they would need more logictistical supply haulers with them since they may not dock for a long time; in addition it made some sense too that the empire didn't need these as much since they had most of the galaxy and its shipyards available to resupply and dock at. I thought it was a neat, if likely unintentional, bit of world building.
The Ghost is such a well designed ship! Imagine a strike fleet of those for guerilla warfare lol!
That would, canonically, be pretty damned terrifying.
My favorite ship will always be the LAAT. I just love transport ships that can drop off squads of soldiers and weapons. Especially how the doors swing open and let passengers shoot into or view the battlefield from the air.
How can you not love the Ghost? One of my personal favorites.
Gladiator is one of my favorite Star Destroyers too. Glad to see it being talked about.
Finally! Another Star Wars fan who talks about and loves the _Night Caller._ And agreed, the _Ghost_ is a more aesthetically pleasing ship than the _Falcon,_ and that it has that secondary ship is just awesome.
Just read Wraith Squadron, what a ship the CR90.
Piggy: Can I keep it?
@@Solo-du5zw ...I only know about the _Night Caller_ because I read that book, along with all the other X-Wing books.
I have to agree, I really love the design layout of the Ghost. I also really like the color accents on it, the all so slight touches of color really makes it standout.
Edit: Commander Sato's modified Republic medical frigate command ship is also another notable one; it even had a small hanger added to it's hull that could fit an A-Wing squadron in it.
The Pelta doesn't get enough love. Rest in pepperonis, Phoenix Home.
@@aaronbates4848 The Pelta-class really is an underappreciated gem. Sure, it may not have the presence of a Venator or Acclimator, but it's still a great design.
It's kind of a weird ship but I've always really loved the design and idea of the Tie-Hunter, kinda like an in-between for the interceptor and defender, and I love the escort carrier that goes with it. Together the feel like a cool, small hunter killer unit that could operate quickly and independently
TIE Hunter is an awesome ship, loved those in Rogue Squadron 3.
1:54 one of my favorite details of this shot is that the phantom doesn't have any of the applied layers and is just polygons.
Lol
I agree. You completely nailed it concerning the Ghost, in a way it reminds me of Serenity. 😊
The ghost is my favorite ship in starwars. I love all those things and the fact it can be a hub ship makes it near perfect to me
I love these ranting type videos
I know that this is about larger ships, but one I personally really like the design of is the U-Wing. I remember playing Battlefront II 2005 space battles, and it always bothered me that the rebels used the LAAT because they didn't have a dropship of their own. So I got excited that they got one. But the design was great, it integrated perfectly into the rebel fleet. It looks like it was designed in the 1970s like everything eles
0:07 How the hell did the Final Order manage to create their Super Duper Star Destroyers underneath the planet's surface?
Probably how they created an Executor-Class under Coruscant
The Final Order didn't build these ships underneath a planets surface.
They were being built during the Era of the Galactic Empire.
@@FallenHorizon That would have been relatively simple. More terrifyingly, they built the Lusankya off world, brought it to Coruscant and then hid it under the surface of the city scape.
@@TalonSvarog how do you stop people from seeing the super star destroyerbeing put into the ground
@@iamaveryepicman771 Several characters have come up with some horrifying notions generally involving either the force or generous application of murder. Or both.
The Gladiator is EASILY my favorite Star Destroyer class. No question about it. Something about the way the bridge is shaped is just so cool, and with the scaling of the ship, I always imagine the bridge to be this multi-level command room with a high ceiling and balconies and ISD style computer trenches. Kinda like the acclamator’s bridge, now that I think about it.
I like the Victory. 30 missile launchers make starfighters go *splat.*
The Ghost has so many visual echoes of The Ebon Hawk…it’s like a symmetrical Ebon Hawk!😁
When the Falcon was all we had, we’ll, beggars can be choosers, but now we have more The Ghost is top3 for me!
One of my favorite ships and easily one of the best ships in Star Wars(in my opinion of course) is the Arquitens-Class Light Cruiser.
**WALL OF WORDS INCOMING! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**
A beautiful classic from the Clone Wars this light cruiser is easily one of the most useful and well-designed cruiser in Star Wars history. Featuring four twin-light turbolaser turrets, four twin-heavy laser side-turrets and four warhead launchers capable of launching a wide-array of torpedoes and missiles, the Arquitens possessed not only great firepower but also great versatility and a near 360 degree field of fire. The side turrets we're also capable of moving forward and stick out from the sides giving them the ability to fire in-front and behind the ship, giving the Arquitens the ability to fire forward with all eight turrets to bear. This ship is also one of the very few Republic ships to be kept in-service by the Empire, and although initial Imperial variants are simply regular Republic Arquitens repainted in the iconic Imperial light gray, major changes we're seen on later production models. The most noticeable change is the removable of the four side-turrets. To compensate for the removal of the side turrets, the four twin-light turbolaser cannon turrets we're replaced with quad-laser turrets which possessed both twin-light laser cannons and twin-heavy laser cannons, an unusual feature but a genius one as this meant that all the turrets are capable of effectively engaging both starfighters and capital ships without much compromise. The ability to dock three TIE-series starfighters or one shuttle on the ship's forward cavity we're also added. Some Arquitens we're retrofitted with four hangar bays, which are basically the repurposed turret housings of the previously removed side-turrets. Each hangar are capable of effectively supporting three starfighters which meant that the Arquitens became less reliant on Gozanti-class and Quasar Fire-class carriers as it can now carry it's own squadron of fifteen starfighters. An even fewer amount of Arquitens we're also used as assault ships thanks to their capability of carrying large amounts of troops and deploy all of them in the ship's forward cavity. Assault ship variants we're also retrofitted with landing gear much like the ones in the Acclimator-Class Assault Ship which made loading and unloading troops far easier, faster and safer. And most importantly, Arquitens-class light cruisers are relatively cheap, this ship is 1/5 the size of an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer but at only 4,000,000 credits to produce each this meant that this light cruiser is 38 times cheaper than the Imperial-Class which took 150,000,000 credits to produce. Of course this ship isn't perfect, the three massive engines not only made easy targets but also made blind spots if an enemy ship we're directly behind the Arquitens. This light cruiser also featured relatively thin armor plating for it's size, the designers compensated by giving this ship powerful shields but also overlapping layers of shields and a relatively small shield bubble size to prevent starfighters from just flying right through the shields but should anything get through or the shields be destroyed, this made the ship a big fat target as it's thin armor plating and highly volatile magazines turned the ship into a powder keg only one torpedo away from a catastrophic explosion. Imperial Arquitens-Class Light Cruisers also received Palpatine's nonsense treatment and the crew size went from a modest 100 crew members to a staggering 850 crew members, a testament not on the ship's technological superiority and requirements, but rather Palpatine's goal to put as much people into the military as possible, he solved unemployment and his need for more military personnel by simply overkilling it with his ship's crew requirements. This ridiculous crew compliment also meant that operating the ship with a skeleton crew is a monumental task, a major flaw during the collapse of the Empire, as Imperial Remnant forces no longer had enough manpower to crew their capital ships, let alone logistics to keep them running.
The gladiator to me, because I play Star Wars Armada, will always be the get in close and personal to riddle your enemy with torpedoes and turbolasers. Rather than what it might be in other media, the gladiator isn't a dedicated carrier/coordination vessel, and it usually played as a front line fighter, something to be feared. Nice to see that it has other uses that the game can't represent.
Same. Whenever I see a Gladiator in lore outside of an armada game, I have to remind myself that it isn’t only a torpedo boat.
It's not really a carrier either, it's got 2 squadrons by default, though that's in the "Patrol and suppress" role where it devoted a lot of hangar space to sentinels and other landers like Dx9s.
I think that configuration makes a lot more sense given the ship's visual appearance. I don't understand how anyone can look at what is obviously a miniature ISD and go "that's a dedicated carrier!"
The VCX 100 and gozanti class cruiser are my favourites, designs are just so cool and work in a range of roles
You have already talked about these ships, but I would really appreciate if you could give some more love to the Nebula class SD and the Endurance class fleet carrier from the 5th Fleet. I feel they are really good for their specific roles and are very underrated.
The Gladiator is the most underrated Star Destroyer ever
The VCX-100 reminds me of the Asp Explorer from Elite: Dangerous, not only for its symmetrical and very angular design, but also for its eminent practicality. In Elite the Asp Explorer can be built to do almost anything in the game, be it deep space exploration, trading, bounty hunting, etc. The VCX-100 seems to also have that "swiss army knife" mentality to it.
You know, I recently started binging this channel because I was feeling nostalgic for all of the books I read as a kid. Most of those videos are several years old and I've been waiting to watch a current vid to see if that tremendous outro survived all this time. Glad to see it has.
Also, I don't remember how it was described in the books but the Teljkon Vagabond captured my imagination as a kid. I always liked mon cals and in my head it was kind of a mon cal with the volume turned up. Almost like a squid or jellyfish.
I love the vindicator 😍😍😍, such a great ship that’s well armed and suited well for its role
The Gladiator class is my favorite Star Destroyer design.
Ever since I saw them, I've loved the Venator. It is a carrier and command ship with enough firepower to defend itself from small capital ships and fighters. With its full compliment of fighters, it could do more than just defend and can seriously do some damage to a small fleet, if not win. And if the captain doesn't want to have a ton of fighters on board, they can easily use the hangar for extra cargo space. Or maybe set up different facilities in those spaces. Plus the arrowhead shape is always a cool look. I think one thing I don't like about it is how high the twin bridges are raised above the ship. Even if it may grant a better field of view of the battle, it also makes a really easy target to cripple the ship once the shields are down.
If I could, I'd also add Kom'rk (Gauntlet) class fighter/transports to the compliment. On top of the two primary cannons, it comes equipped with rear-facing guns to defend its tail. Plus if you have jet troopers or something alike, you can deploy them in midair like the Death Watch did when they assailed one location after another while still functioning in an interceptor/air support capacity. That said I'd mostly add this because I love Mandalorian designs for ships and armor. Yes I am a Mando fanboy lol.
I love hearing your opinions on ships you like! More of these videos please💜
I do like the Ghost as a freighter, but personally I’d prefer the YV-929 as a freighter and a home. Not only is it heavily armed, it‘s shields are also more than capable to hold off any kind of pirate attack.
Same the YV-929 will always be my favorite freighter, I really wish it would get more attention in mainstream star wars.
Really enjoyed this format, would like to see more examples of ships, or even other things, that you love! :)
I've always had a soft spot for the Muurian Transport. I love the square, no nonsense design, like a space Winnabago. It really looks like a ship designed by a race of accountants.
Do you mean the GX-1 Short Hauler? That one's a pretty good design.
@@aaronbates4848 No, that at least looks like someone cared about how it looked. The Muurian Transport is a bit of a deep cut. Built by the Muun, it looks very... cost efficient: ruclips.net/video/F1r-qpLP1vA/видео.html
@@PrototypeSpaceMonkey Ah, I see.
One of my faves is the Gozanti freighter. A nice sleek design that makes it look like an undersea predator 🥰
You said it!!
Another quality design from the Corellian Engineering Corporation.
my personal favourite is the YT-1300 light Freighter, it is like a space van that you could live in. I'll customize a few things tho, most importantly I'll install solar collectors and instal solar powered engines, as a back up engine.
You mentioned the Gladiator, in my own fleet, that's where I'd have Venators. The dual ventral and dorsal bay, able to launch forward so the hanger stays protected, and with the rough equivalent of a Victory Star Destroyer's weapons, it's nearly a one-ship fleet all by itself.
4:55 I love how one of the assault frigates is just swallowing a CR-90
I've always loved the Gladiator Star Destroyer, love seeing it on this list!
Ever since I was a kid it was always the b-wing. Got such little time on screen, which just heightened my curiosity.
I've also always liked the Quasar class carrier, but that comes from its appearance as the Alliance escort carrier in the Star Wars Rebellion video game
I personally like the Slave 1. I always loved how it can punch a little above it's weight class and the silhouette is just cool to me.
I'm glad that the Gladiator is getting the respect it deserves. It is one of my favorite ships, I love the design so much!
Agreed! The Gladiator is great!
I also really love all of these ships. Personally, I prefer the quasar to the gladiator aesthetically, but that class of carriers/command ships are the kind I would like to use. I wish we could get a small fleet based game where we command a quasar and a handful of ships and then we just work as a rebel cell. I think it would be really fun. Just give us an open map, make it so that we can either go tactical or personally pilot a ship on a raid, and set us out to fight the empire. Something I'd love to see. All the campaign missions of Squadrons would be a fantastic start, give us stuff like that except we plan it, we have a set amount of starting personel, resources, etc. And we need to fight the empire
Nebula Class Star Destroyers are the pinnacle of SD design IMO. Strong shields rivaling the Mon calamari, more firepower than a ISD II, and incredibly strong fighters. Also, they were used properly in conjunction with its escorts and sister model the Endurance.
More firepower per ton perhaps. I still doubt the figures saying it's more overall.
I think my favorite ship is the interdictor, if used correctly it can basically counteract rebel hit and run tactics. a pair of interdictors would be a great compliment to have for a fleet of Star destroyers.
I enjoyed the rant videos, but I doubly enjoy that you are also doing this. Liking things is more fun than not liking things.
Hey Eck! I gotta say, this video is really awesome. I would genuinely listen to ship talk for hours
I love the republic aesthetic for all large ships (acclimator to dreadnought), but my absolute favorite is the Venator
CR-90's are my favorite ships as well, they just are so cool and how they have large armament for its size, high maneuverability and a cool escort ship. I would much rather be apart of the battle not being a high target flagship. When i was younger i wanted one of my own.
Personally love the lines of the YT-2000 Otana from XWA. I know it's basically non canon but it's my favourite CEC freighter apart from the Ghost
Is there a yt series which is basically the yt 2k but has the full front bow sections like the yt 1930? I've seen "variants" of the 1300 with the bridge in the middle but not many with jt forward like the 2k.
If I'm being honest, the Lucrehulk is one if my favorite designs in Star Wars period, both in terms of aesthetics and combat capabilities. Send out swarms of vulture droids and tri-fighters, then maneuver to pepper the enemy fleet with turbolasers and laser cannons.
The Raider Class Corvette used by Inferno Squad is pretty cool and functional too!
The Nebula/Defender Class Star Destroyer easily one of my personal favourites, its cool to have the idea of a pocket star destroy 1/3 ther size of an ISD, or the alternative Endurance Class as a fleet carrier remeniscant of the Venators
Gladiator class would be the one I’d jockey for a captain’s commission in the Imperial fleet.
Then, I’d convince them to let me go raiding with it as a privateer in rebel systems.
I would have loved to see one used as the imp command ship in SW: Squadrons instead of the standard ISD.
one ship I'll always love is the TIE Interceptor. I love that it has a more aggressive look, while TIE Fighters are more neutral, and it looks imposing as hell. The sleek design and roaring of the engine make it a good way to instill fear into someone if in the right hands
I second this!
gladiator class star destroyer reminds me of something that would be central for wing commander too
3:02 This right here is why I would be so excited if there was ever a game that let's you fully customize and control everything about a CR90. How many guns can you fit on one? How many troops, how much storage space, how many fighters, what scenarios you could take it, what situations could you survive, if not win?
The possibilities are so endless, and so exciting!
My favorite ship in Star Wars is one of your least favorites, the Rogue Shadow. The design might not be practical but I absolutely love it. It’s such an awesome design, especially with its somehow sleek AND scrap metal look to it. Now that’s a hard combo to pull off. Also asymmetrical for the win! The first Force Unleashed had a really unique art style that’s not talked about much. Almost like a perfect combo between the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy while also introducing its own style to the mix. (By the way the Venator is by far my favorite capital ship. And unlike it’s Imperial replacement it doesn’t have ridiculously easy to spot weaknesses like the deflector shield generator domes on said ISDs. And Anakin somehow made it even better with an extraordinary addition to the Venator line of ships. The heavy turbolaser on the bottom of the ship. That thing is SO powerful.)
The Storm Commando Carrier is my favorite primarily because of the Rogue Squadron III Fight.
My favorite Star Wars Ships:
1. N-1 Naboo Starfighter. It's sleek and reliable. In fact, I can't stop drawing my own Ugly that uses the N-1 as it's base/body.
2. J-Type Nubian 327 Yacht. Same, but with the added benefit of being a larger vessel.
3. Raider-class Imperial Corvette. It's a itty-bitty Acolyte-Class SSD with Squint wing accents.
4. Lucrehulk-class CIS Battleship. It's a big ass Death Star prototype (imo) that can launch a decent sized invasion force all on It's own.
My favorite is, oddly enough, the Munificent. I’ve always been more of a quantity of quality guy when it comes to ships, and that thing is perfect for spamming. I love the wide wings, smooth armor plating, skeletal look, and especially the forward facing cannons that just make it look that much more dangerous.
We need more of this type of video!
Have to say I'm a big fan of the Arquitens, and when the Class 546 variant appeared on The Mandalorian I about jumped up and cheered.
My favorite is the Consular class. It's just super cool-looking and comfortably nostalgic for me
with the cr90 i like to envisage it as an Apollo craft after 100 years of continuous space travel and threat of war
The Gladiator is probably one of my favorite Star Destroyers so it's nice to see it get some love.
The fact that you are a man of culture who enjoys Rebels as well, is part of what makes you one of my favorite Star Wars youtubers.
P.S. I run that Kanan Jarrus drip for my SWTOR Jedi. Or Jrip if you will.
In this video’s intro, there’s a few scenes with Y-Wings doing a bombing run and a TIE Interceptor being chased by an X-Wing. Where are these clips from?
My first favourite as a kid was the T-4a Imperial shuttle. The scene when it came into the bay to deliver Darth Vader just really stuck with me. Besides that, the B-wing is pretty awesome looking, too.
I've always been partial to the Consular cruiser. It looks very nice, is easy to crew, and can be modified easily into a more well armed corvette. I especially like the Assault refit from the Stark Hyperspace War. The Vengeance-class Super Star Destroyer also looks super sleek and would definitely be my choice if I had to have a super ship.
Same. I love the Consular and the Charger C70. It'd be cool to see them in a Rebellion era story.
For me, if I could command a vessel from Star Wars, for civilian or military, it would have to be a heavily modified Consular-class cruiser, slightly larger then the retrofit, far more streamlined, and again, heavily modified. Have both Corellia and some Mon Cal design it (you know, two people that you'd want to build you a star ship). Have it with a buoyant hull, with the possibility of submerging somewhat as that would be a great way to evade someone chasing you or laying in wait to ambush.
The length would have to probably be around 180-200 meters, compared to the retrofit being around 155 meters, with the sides being extended for extend crew and cargo, so probably 60 meters. The bow of the vessel more rounded, have the hull serve as a composite of armor and each panel has an underlined layer that can serve communications and sensors (for those laughing or doubting that can be done at all for whatever reason, I will remind you this is a universe where 'space wizards' exist so your counterpoint, as far as I'm concerned, is void) but also, that should lower maintenance cost with fewer pieces to worry about or could be damaged. A medical bay staffed with Kaminoan's, and pieces taken from other aquatic, land and aerial (which includes space) vehicles and vessels. That goes as followed;
The equipment will be taken from multiple flight craft and land, being life support, power, weapons, storage, lift, thrusters for advanced maneuvering and artificial gravity. Communications from these vehicles are excluded as my vessel already had good communications and sensor arrangement, again bringing down maintenance cost. Also, any astromechs and/or mouse droids would be added as both are so damn useful. To keep this as short as possible, I will stick to Republic and Clone wars era vessels.
The space craft I'm thinking of taking and adding to mine are;
ARC-170's heavy weapon system installed into a turret.
BTL Y-wings bombing and proton torpedo racks and ion cannon (again placed onto a small turret).
Essentially all the fighter craft of the republic for their weapons systems, mostly, but again also other equipment, like their life support, power sources, but not back thrusters which I will explain why at the end of this.
Other craft would be the LAAT and the CSS-1 mostly for the internal space.
Land vehicles would have to be the AT-TE and SPHA-T.
Again, these would be 'bits' of each vehicle, that will equal the length of my vessel, by width not length, so say and ARC-170 is lined up noise to end, instead of wingtip to wingtip, for maximum advantage, while keeping a far lower cost and required crew.....so maybe '40' AT-TE's, as their width was only around 5 meters, but only '3' SPHA as I can't find their width, but can find their length at 140 meters.
Again, remove the weapons from these vessels and vehicles, have them placed onto turrets with crew safely inside the ship, sitting in a ball that has screens, then install all directional cameras and have the screens give a 360+ degree view of the outside battle, this will be far safer then an outside turret bubble. For the pieces ripped out of the fighters, concussion missiles will also be a factor, giving for a far more deadly turret operator, each being assisted by an astromech and mouse droid for small maintenance duties or outside repairs so to reduce the danger levels to the biological crew. Ion cannons can be called upon to stop small enemy craft, or point defense systems, the anti-personnel weapons and laser dish from the AT-TE are along the bottom for ground missions. The main turret of the AT-TE are on top and below for troop support, landed will serve as artillery support with the assistance of a low atmospheric drone that will hover above and help target entrenched enemies, placed along the sides, and bow for stronger support on that end of the vessel, the smaller turrets of the AT-TE will be placed on the sides of the turrets for greater defense. The primary weapon system of the SPHA is a forward facing weapon due to its size, but as a majority of the body for all of these craft have been separated, mechanical legs, much of the wiring, and so on, saving energy, that can be added to the beam for a stronger weapon and shield piercing.
The power plant will be elongated and center of the vessel for better electric flow and reduces energy loss, but in segments. If one section is hit, it will not effect much of the vessel, as well, it is basically all power plants of the vessels and Charger combined into one, with the shield generator surrounding it for even layering, which is why the CSS-1 is needed as it had unusually strong shields for a civilian transport ship, but the shielding could also protect the crew from any breaches in one or more segments of the elongated reactor, again which is why mouse droids would come in handy as they are small enough to travel tunnels placed inside for inspections that could help with maintaining the reactor or finding any damages.
As each reactor has less to deal with now, as the majority of the bulk they were meant for is removed, there could be more power reserved, which could allow for equipment to be boosted without fear of wasting energy, and allowing the reactor to operate on a lower setting, extending its service life.
The combined life support is also on a redundant so to give an even flow, reducing its required energy use and again, in segments so if one section is damaged, it will not effect the whole.
The back engines will be curved inward, segmented, similar looking to the Millennium Falcons engines, and far better protected, with the back defense having a better line of sight without the rounded engines getting in the way, as the power source now has reserved energy that is not going elsewhere, it can be placed into the engines for more speed, at a lower operating cost.
Other equipment would be a small refinery and smelter for manufacturing emplacement parts, I can see the front SPHA laser having a secondary use and being used to melt rocks in space and tractor beams leading the materials into a special chamber of the ship.
Artificial gravity would be needed and slightly doubled for those from lower gravity worlds, this would help keep some people in shape, which is needed in a military, or just space travel in general.
The crew can be still 9, with much of the armament having an 'automated' feature, but with the space of the CSS-1, could hold around 200, making this vessel a mobile barrack, with space to spare for a cargo transport in times of peace.
Not reading all that but damn I love your passion
@@ClhCgu45 Yeah, uh.....I.....really get carried away, thank you for love though.
I personally really love CIS ships. Their designs are just so cool and ghe fact that almost everything is automated is just perfect to me
The Republic Doritos are my favorites. Senator, Victory, Alligator, and Arquitens together look so good.
I get what you mean with the "appeals to me on the kid level". I see the Gladiator and my mind just goes "MMMMBIG HANGAR" and it makes me smile. I have a similar feeling when I see the Harrower from SWTOR.
I always liked the idea of living on my ship, maybe forming a salvage or bounty-hunting crew with my friends. Figured the VT-49 Decimator would be perfect; decent storage space, well-armed for its size, intimidating enough presence to make regular people leave you alone, and it doesn't attract Imperial attention. Tear out one of the on-board rooms and turn it into a prisoner hold, and you can still have a group of four on board, plus plenty of room for a combat droid companion and an astromech to help with repairs and navigation.
Though funnily enough the Gladiator usually only has 2 squadrons aboard since hangar space is given over to landing ships for its ground compliment since Star Destroyers MUST do everything.
@@DIEGhostfish Assuming they used Sentinel-Class and Lambda-Class shuttles, they could fit 5-6 TIE/LN in the space of one Sentinel or two Lambda shuttles. At that point it depends on how many of those they carry, out of 1200 stormtroopers (two battalions) , i would assume they have lift capacity to deploy at least one battalion at a time, so 800 or so divided probably by 75 (conservative side says they use the Sentinel landing craft, most bang for the buck) so at least 10 of those and probably a half dozen or so Lambda's. Napkin math say you'd fit about another 60-70 TIE/LN into that space. Note: I don't think I've ever actually seen imperial doctrine for conducting a ground assault from orbit written down anywhere, so my shuttle requirements could be either conservative (full lift capacity for both battalions) or exaggerated (perhaps they lift by half battalion), I've simply based it upon them being able to lift a coherent combat formation in one go.
@@jh4533 Depends what size of sentinel you are imagining
one of my favorite ships has to be the havoc marauder, despite being not the most classy or powerful, i love how minimalistic it looks, and feels like a more grungy and dirty version of a typical republic shuttle, i also like the mtt and vulture droids
Of the ships listed in this video, I'd choose the "Ghost."
Mr. EckhartsLadder, you mentioned the "Gladiator " class Star Destroyer possibly serving as the center of small fleet formations, as well as observing that "Gladiators" resembling aircraft carriers. That inspired a bizarre question that perhaps you or anyone else might speculate to answer, but in order to answer you need to have a sufficient knowledge of Star Wars spacecraft plus be sufficiently familiar with all the ships present during the WWII, Pacific Campaign: Battle of Samar (Leyte Gulf.) In particular, the ships of Taffy 3 and the ships of IJN's Center Force (Center Force that remained when first engaging Taffy 3.) If you were to take Star Wars ships and overlay them, so to speak, on the ships present at that historical battle, which ships do you think would match up as a "counterpart"?
I really like these kind of videos, just a little rambling about stuff you like. My personal favorites are probably the super capitals designed by Fractal Sponge, they are large, unwieldy and probably impractical, but damn they look awesome.
One of my personal favourites is the ARC-170, just everything about it screams aggressiveness and just general kick ass, the massive underslung cannons, the 2 massive engines, the S-foils and the 3 man crew with the tail gunner, I don’t know but when I saw this ship for the first time in revenge of the sith I instantly fell in love with it
Loved this video. You should do another one talking about your favorite fighters
My favorites are the V Wing Starfighter, the Venator, and the LAAT Gunship.
I have a soft spot for the Onager-class Star Destroyer, the idea of a massive space crossbow is kinda funny at first, but pretty clever when you think about what it's used for.
The Secutor-class Star Destroyer is also a favorite of mine, it is to the Venator what the Executor was to the ISD, and it looks like if a Venator was hybridized with an Executor
Being a fan of Vitiate's Sith empire, I will now and forever always love the Harrower-class dreadnought. It's got everything you want in a capital ship - more hangar space, more shield generators, and a fortified bridge.
The thing about the Falcon that you just don't see anywhere else is her sublight drive, that blue ribbon in the back. Every other ship has boring rocket engines, but that full-hull propulsion system is so much more interesting. And I've never found out why it is that no other ship seems to have anything like it.
While listing all my favorites would take forever I’ll just say one I’ve always appreciated, even if images for and information on it is scarce.
The StarScape Class Yacht, aka G0-T0’s flagship yacht. I just love the design. Classy, stealthy, and yet… well defended vessel. It’s no warship, but it doesn’t have to be one to be cool.
There are several Sith vessels that I really like. I actually find that, properly manned and utilized, I like the Imperial ships more.
One of my favourites is the Ravager/Centurion class battlecruiser from KOTOR 2. I wish we'd gotten to see it undamaged and I love the way it modifys the traditional star destroyer look. Lore-wise I love the idea that the Old Republic started building 'eviler' looking ships like this and the Interdictor as they fought the Mandalorians.
Referencing and respecting the Wraith Squadron books in 2022? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I will never get over the Wraiths turning one of those corvettes into a pocket-sized carrier! 😆
the X-wing i know is a classic iconic ship that i just love. the sound the engine makes and the wing actuators when it goes to attack mode. the fact that you jump multiple times. The armament for such a small craft. it has shields, hyperdrive, and an astromech. what an amazing ship.
As much as I love the X-wing I am a huge fan of the Y-wing. Such a versatile ship. Everything from recon to bombing to starfighter. Plus it can take more punishment than an X-wing and it had ion cannons too. If only you could fire both proton torpedoes and concussion missiles...well with the mini ones on an A-wing you likely can.
I love the ships of the CIS. Literally all of them are my favorite aesthetic
I'm going to pull something from the fandom and say one of my fav ships in recent memory is the Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate by EC Henry. There's just something about it that sings to me.
On a lesser scale, however, I've always been a fan of the Consular-class Cruiser. But for a ship I'd use personally? That credit goes to the X-70B Phantom-class prototype.
I mean, what's not to like? It's sophisticated, has luxuries akin to a Nabooian vessel, packs a punch, and it has a section with wooden flooring. WOODEN FLOORING. Now that's style!
Yes, love this Idea of imperial Nebulon B - it give such sence
