The Venetor class also supported an “artillery deck” on both port and starboard sides. It was pretty much heavy artillery cannons that were used as casemates. Although, they were only ever useful during broadside engagements at close range, mostly because they had to be aimed manually by a gunner.
Oh yeah I saw that on the bad batch show, do u know if these artillery decks were located in the trench in the side or somewhere in the primary command structure.
There have been a few ships presented that didn't have all the weaponry listed, but I think that's a minor gripe compared to all the other work he puts in to these videos. :)
And the 'ten light minutes' range, by the way, presumably refers to large, hardly mobile targets, also, for the turbolasers. Like whole planets or asteroids, say, with easily predictable paths. As for weapon numbers, some ships will vary. It's implied the Rebels often got cast off Nebulon-B frigates, for example, that may have lacked some guns. Rogue One even adds more turrets to the ones seen there. I assume main batteries/turrets also do have SOME computer aim assist, too.
@@chrissonofpear1384, most likely they do have some sort of computer assistance. But for the most part, ships in Star Wars seem to almost exclusively fight at ranges where you can visually see the target. Occasionally fleets will engage at long distance but due to the nature of turbo lasers (essentially just plasma hurtling through space) they eventually loose thermal heat, and mass, which taking shields into consideration the shot would to little to no damage. So really their going to be engaging targets within probably a couple thousand kilometers at the most.
@@hetzer5926 That's pretty much what I assumed anyway, yes. And the 'several light seconds' thing surely refers only to hitting planets, and the like. Heck, in The Last Jedi, the Supremacy looked like it was firing on the Resistance at no more than 50 km, most of the time. Including in Hux's holo display.
i died when you said “coruskant” lmao😂 Edit: since people keep commenting that its a robot voice. Yes I ALREADY KNOW so if you’re about to comment that please read this.
In an interview a few years back, Timothy Zahn said that is actually how he pronounced it and he chose that word because it means "sparkling," which makes sense if the whole planet is a city. If I am remembering correctly, Lucas read it out loud as we hear it in the movies and so that was that.
2:37 that clip is from Star Wars the Clone Wars Season 2, from the episode Landing at Point Rain. The ships shown there were Acclamator-class Assault Ships, not Venators.
@@teidelmoo The Venator lands and unloads the army on Kashyyk, you can see it on the ground in ROTS. I think Acclamators are dedicated transports whereas Venators can perform that role just far less efficiently. Planetary landings make capital ships extremely vulnerable, its probably not hard to knock out the repulsor and let gravity do the rest.
@@teidelmoo They have been shown flying in-atmosphere on various occasions, such as over the cloning facilities on Kamino in the Bad Batch, and over Geonosis, Felucia, and other locations in Star Wars Battlefront II.
On the topic of republic ships, I’m gonna remind everyone that the LAAT transport is objectively well designed and looks cool and you can’t change my mind
The Z-95 and Y-Wing are excellent fighters and bombers as well. Delta-7 and ETA-2s are excellent nimble fighters for Jedi. The ARC-170 is a decent hybrid fighter/bomber. The V-Wing is like a TIE Interceptor but with an astromech. The only fighter I don't like is the V-19 Torrent, as it's pretty much a large target, but the Republic has a well designed military. None of these come close to the LAAT and Venator though. They're too iconic, and that's why they're everywhere 😂
@@mbhaxr6367 Nope, it was the other way around. The earliest known capital ships that were similar to the star destroyer concept were the Interdictor-class cruiser and the Centurion-class battlecruiser used by the Republic in the Mandalorian Wars. The reason why these ships are more well known as Sith ships is because when Revan and Malak turned against the Republic, they took their fleets with them and created thousands of these ships at the Star Forge. After Revan's and Malak's deaths, these ships continued to be used by the Sith and the Republic simultaneously for a while. The Sith developed this concept further and used it until at least a couple of centuries later (Harrower-class for example), while the Republic dropped this design and forgot about it until they rediscovered it when Kuat Drive Yards created the Mandator-class Dreadnought in 42 BBY. At first, the Mandator was underpowered due to the Rusaan regulations, and it was only used by a couple of wealthy sector fleets, but when the Clone Wars were about to start, the Republic recognized the value of this concept and created smaller but more efficient ships similar to the Mandator and called them star destroyers. To the Republic loyalists and later to the Empire, star destroyers symbolized their ancient heritage and human high culture, while to Palpatine, they symbolized his de facto Sith Empire.
@@zacharydoyle9175 Officially they were called Venator-class Star Destroyers. However, the name doesn't mean that they are destroyers of stars but that they are destroyers (the ship class) in the stars.
I was thinking about creating the Acclamator class ship but I have to see if i can find a good 3D model of the ship before creating an animation. but thanks for the suggestion.
@@questioningyoutubers177 I don't have the arquitens 3D model yet but I have seen it on sale at one of the 3D websites. I just need to make enough money to justify the purchase.
The Venator is my favorite ship in Star Wars. To be honest, if America establishes a proper space fleet we should honestly consider modelling a Venator / adopting some of it's characteristics and designs. It was truly remarkable.
Each Venator carried huge numbers of crew---all the Pub ships did. I'd like to see a layout or sectional cutaway on any & all Pub ships showing where they housed & fed all the 1000's of crew they carried: officer quarters, officer mess and clone barracks and clone mess (as I'm sure the human officers didn't want to eat with the clones), the medical bay, rec rooms with holo vid for sports & tables for playing games and so on near the barracks probably on more then one deck. Also they'd have pretty extensive gym facilities for all those clones. (newer Navy carriers have 3) Plus where are the showers & heads? (heads = toilets) Plus like a Navy air carrier, they'd also have a barber, a mini PX or BX (store for personal items & snacks) and other amenities. Plus every infantry clone had their own foot locker for their gear & personal items. (Seen in barracks on numerous clone wars episodes.) Where did the infantry keep their stuff?
I also wondered about this, because the schematics don't show any rooms. And 420 fighters seems fair, but also a lot. It's smaller than the ISD but is packing far more than it does (not that I take an issue with it. The ISD doesn't consider itself a true carrier.)
Very Nice Video. I really love the interior stuff you added to the model. When modeling the Venator I could not get it to look like the massive spaceship it is. Adding this interior details really helps sell the scale.
There’s no way that the Venator had 130-something ACTIS-2A. They would need Jedi pilots for every single one. More likely, they had many more Y-wings, and ARC-170’s.
@@yallacrazy Not an error by the person who made the video, it's what most if not all guide books have stated all the way from 2005; it is however incredibly unrealistic as you pointed out, as there's no way a Venator could hold more than 200-250 fighters, given what we know of its interior.
@@jerryh3135 On paper maybe, but it's never the case any movie, TV show, comic, novel or videogame that I know of. It's like the 400+ fighters inside a Venator, just a random thing written in a guidebook that is never confirmed by any other source, in fact it's very much contradicted by everything else.
@@arthmann2 Not sure if i remember correctly, but in battlefront 2 classic there was a mission (or more i dont remember) in which you could pilot the eta2 (as a clone trooper/pilot). BUT AGAIN i dont know if i am right, so correct me if i am wrong. Btw when i saw that the venator could hold 192 eta2's i was confused as well and searche dit up on google and found something saying something among the lines "it was more commonly/widely used my the jedi because of its *trait*" which means that even though jedi used it more there were still some clones flying it. But then again it makes no sense haveing frickin 192 of em, so i dont belive that.
Theortical range and practical range are 2 very different things and concepts. For example, did you know that most military weaponry in service IRL actually has an effective range of many hundreds of meters? The problem is, naturally, the human factor. Most infantry engagements in the modern day don't take place anywhere close to that far, simply because of the inherent limitations of how far a human being can shoot with their Mark 1 Eyeball and natural reflexes to an accurate level. Same principle applies to other places as well, including SW. Theres nothing actually theoretically stopping a Venator (or whatever else) from shooting at something several light minutes away, or Christ, a solar system, a sector, a galaxy away, bar the actual dissipation rate of the turbolaser. Whether it will actually do so accurately enough to hit their target is another matter entirely. A stationary or very predictable target like a space station or planet would be very easy to hit from basically ANY range, but an even slightly mobile target is exponentially harder.
@@papapalps2415 i mean, in space, a 9mm handgun could shoot from the space station to the moon and beyond... does it mean you could hit a man floating in space by it? hell no :D
Yeah, imagine trying to hit something when you’re seeing an image of it from 10 min ago, firing, and projectile reaching target in another 10 minutes at earliest (assuming projectile travels speed of light, which it does not). You better hope the target didn’t move for 20+ minutes.
@@alexreiser6325 I do. In all my latest videos, it's me. I even explain why I used text to speech at the end of this animation below. ruclips.net/video/Jw78JSy7cCU/видео.html
I like it without the two bridges. Looks more uniformed in design with just the central trapezoid structure. Worth noting that the Venator is slightly longer than a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier. Also the LAAT and V22 Osprey are also the same length.
Wish there was this much Info,when I made my 7ft Venator Destroyer. I definitely would have put more details on it,but I am very Proud with the way it turned out and the level of work I was able to do on it 😁
I have 2 ships I'd like to see you cover. Vader's ssd Executor and also Dash Rendar's Outrider from Shadows of the Empire. It's always been my 2nd favorite ship in the whole franchise with my favorite being the infamous Millennium Falcon of course. Thanks and enjoyed the video as always.
The first time I ever saw the Venator class was at the end of Attack of the Clones and at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith and at the end of said movie and they were shown a lot more on Star Wars:The Clone Wars t.v. series.
According to latest canon materials, the ship had space for 192 v wings and 36 arc 170s but not 192 eta 2s, rather the 192 eta 2 and v wing space is the same storage space for both.
@@Halfscreen well they are pretty cool to look at and contain some nice up to date lore so, especially with your channel's content, it might be worth the investment.
Sorry but you are wrong ... The Acclamator doesn't have a ventral launch bay whereas the Venator does. The episode that clip came from shows that the Republic attack fleet is made up of both classes of ships. While the Acclamator does lead the attack the Venator is also in the mix.
4:15 onwards gives a real sense of scale, zooming in to realise the tiny speck in front of the foreward-most LAAT is an Eta-2, which gives a decent size comparison for an individual humanoid; zooming back out with that in mind really shows you how big these proto-Star Destroyers were, arguably better than even Fallen Order, whose Venator interior mission is spread out over broken-off segments and busted-open areas with the whole thing on it's side, ruining the experience somewhat, whereas in this video you can easily imagine the ship fitting in the number of fighter / bomber / transports mentioned in the video, though I still same the number of crew on wookieepedia should have a zero knocked off the end, let alone troop compliment, or else the onboard barracks must be stuffed in all the space between reactor and control towers.
How much the speed got rid of all ships of this class most likely means that Venator had serious technical disadvantages. What is not surprisingly considering how quickly they were built.
no Sidious only got rid of them to purge all things related to Jedi as the venator was called the Jedi cruisers by the galaxy so he got rid of them they were very good ships and if empire kept them the rebellion would most likely had problems as the venator was very good against star fighters and would have made good star fighter defense cruisers at the least
@@topgun1457 If Venator was created for space battles, then Imperial is a tool for control over the conquered worlds. He is big, horrendous and can transport almost 4 times more infantry. Of course the air group from Imperial is much smaller, but that is, the causes. If the republic immediately received a huge number of trained clones of pilots and could quickly fill losses, the empire had to train their soldiers from scratch, which is difficult, expensive and not very effective. The same rebels completely quietly exchanged one of their fighter into two or three imperial. Therefore, aircraft carriers like Venator were practically useless for the Empire. However, even this is not a reason to write off thousands of star destroyers in the scrap. But once this is part of the canon, then for such actions there should be an important reason. And the technical disadvantages in combination with low quality assembly look much more convincingly than a certain connection with the Jedi about which almost no one remembered in Episode IV.
The Victory class was used by the Galactic Republic during the mid-Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire and the Corporate Sector during the Galactic Civil War and the Confederation during the Second Galactic Civil War.
is there any way to get a 3d model cross section venator or must i eyeball it, im looking to create a 1:1 (as close as possible) replica in satisfactory the game, wanted to make a full interior aswell but its hard to get a sense of the general structure under the hull, i see this was based on the cross section book judging by the limited and specific cross section views, unfortunately im at the same point i cant seem to get my head around how to go about it, i dont really want to make it up as i go but the limited venator info out there is probably going to force me to have to make up alot of the inbetweens, the lego clone wars game gives a very downscaled perspective of the inside walkways etc but i know the lego game version is just nowhere near accurate enough to be scalable, thank you for this video though, the 180 degree view under the bridge especially helps in how i should layout the internal structure
Unfornately, some of the design have to be made up due the limited amount of cross-section drawing. There only one image I used to recreate the 3d model.
Some extra info on the Venator: Ion thrust engines 59million credit cost Crew 7400 Class 1.0 hyperdrive 6 tractor beam projectors 52 point defence cannons 2 medium dual turbo laser cannons 4 torpedo tubes each holding 16 torpedoes Carries 2000 clone troopers 40 LAAT 24 AT-TE Various speeders, AT RTs, etc Anakin and Obi Wan's open circle fleet equipped an SPHA-T in the ventral hangar bay 3000 G acceleration 975 kph atmospherical speed Peak power output 3,6 times ten to the power of 24 W 20 000 tons cargo capacity 2 years worth of consumables
I love the Venators and other Republic designs, as I am pro-Republic but anti-corrupt-bureaucracy, knowing about the corruption. I always think think that the Venator’s design is better than Imperial ones in many ways, it being a fighter bomber carrier, being more maneuverable, has great firepower, and it’s more impressive-look and more creative design. I also can’t help but find it funny that the AI can’t pronounce Coruscant right. It says “Corus-can’t” 😂
The Venator didnt have any landing gear, so it was really hard for them to land on any planet surface. The Venators needed special docks to land on, like the ones they had on coruscant
@@bardedkgaming2529 well if it is was a controlled landing and not a crash landing yes, but even so the venator seems to stay in one peace even during crashes well if it belly lands idk about a nose in crash
These are really cool and all. But in all honesty, this is nothing that we haven't already seen before. Take the cross-section of the Venator as seen here. It's the same as with the incredible cross section books. Like, sure, it's interesting to see that visualized in 3 dimensions, that certainly is something unique and amazing. But again, some of us hardcore Star Wars fans have seen it, albeit in 2D, but still. It's nothing directly... You know... New. But I guess that is how it is when speaking of making something as accurately and true to how it is as possible. There isn't really anything better to go off of than the incredible cross section books after all... God, would have been SO awesome to have an actual floor plan of some of these ships, wouldn't it? XD
Can you cover vessels from the Mass Effect Universe? Would love to hear you give a detailed description of a Reaper. Star Trek vessels would also be cool.
All SW ships feature bridges in vulnerable positions (it´s sad, how crazy their placement is), with ST human ships closely following. The bridge, along with engineering section, should be the two most protected areas of the ship. But let´s put the bridge on top, so everyone can see it, target it and - if needed - destroy it.
In the empire this was actually intended. They wanted to show the enemy where the bridge is and where captain and admiral are positioned. Basically telling the enemy: "we are here and we don't fear you!"
Halfscreen! Are you interested in possibly having someone narrate your videos, rather than using TTS? If so, I’d be happy to offer myself. I couldn’t find an email to contact you, so I figured a comment was the best way to reach you. Awesome video!

Except for the split-bridge, I think the Venator class is the best-looking Star Destroyer in canon.
It's a shame, that esing wasn't used further.
id take the 2 bridges over the 1 good looking T shaped piece of junk anyday cus it doesnt look ugly but it aint pretty and it is way more effective
Tbh I really like the look of the two bridges
I like the Resurgent Class too but the Venator is hard to beat.
I like it without the two bridges. Looks more uniformed in design with just the central trapezoid structure. Worth noting that the Venator is slightly longer than a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier. Also the LAAT and V22 Osprey are also the same length.
This is such an awesome and informative video. The Clone Wars is my favorite Star Wars era and am pleased to see my favorite cruiser getting some love
05:04 They used really big bolt & nuts for their generator and engines. Impressiv.
Very good video. I really enjoyed watching.
Thanks for watching Von Rosphe.
Wish there was this much Info,when I made my 7ft Venator Destroyer. I definitely would have put more details on it,but I am very Proud with the way it turned out and the level of work I was able to do on it 😁
Sorry!
@@Halfscreen but you know?.. I'm glad there is now 😁👍
@@felipegomez6729 yesh
Great job I can't wait for more.
My recent Star Wars collection buying is now about to get worse!
These videos are incredible, Thank You
I watch an hour long video on this ship
this would be sick as a ucs lego set. like a "full size" version of this would be super cool.
I have 2 ships I'd like to see you cover. Vader's ssd Executor and also Dash Rendar's Outrider from Shadows of the Empire. It's always been my 2nd favorite ship in the whole franchise with my favorite being the infamous Millennium Falcon of course. Thanks and enjoyed the video as always.
Thanks for watching Mark.
No problem buddy. Thanks 4 the videos.
A later model of the venator had a smaller dorsal hanger door. The Venator used by Obi Wan to go the Utapau was one of those models.
This ship is a beauty
Great video Half, I didn't know the ending of 2 was a different type of ship.🚢 well done 👏 ✔️
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Most underrated account on this app
The first time I ever saw the Venator class was at the end of Attack of the Clones and at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith and at the end of said movie and they were shown a lot more on Star Wars:The Clone Wars t.v. series.
The ships in Episode 2 weren't venators, they were acclamators.
This was a beautiful capital ship.
Beautiful model. If only Revell could make a SnapTite Venator class like they did with the Imperial 2. I could imagine they'd sell like hot cakes.
That would be nice. After looking at the 3D models, I have to admit, these vessel are starting to grow on me.
Continue your job is Amazing
Thanks for flying to this galaxy for us and asking for a blueprint
5:51 is the scene I love with Venator's in combat
you forgot to mention about the side cannons and the ground vehicle bay, but nice, i love that ship
There are a lot of thing I forgot, old age.
Imagine if the rebellion had these with the laats and x wings
it would not be that great for them since Imperial class 1 and 2 star destroyers vastly outgunned and outcrewed and outmassed the venators.
According to latest canon materials, the ship had space for 192 v wings and 36 arc 170s but not 192 eta 2s, rather the 192 eta 2 and v wing space is the same storage space for both.
Just out of curiosity, where are you getting your information from?
@@Halfscreen the 2020 complete vehicles cross sections. I own the physical book.
@@benthebest5 Yeah...I thought about picking up the physical version for references. I have tons of star wars art books but not the cross-section.
@@Halfscreen well they are pretty cool to look at and contain some nice up to date lore so, especially with your channel's content, it might be worth the investment.
@@benthebest5 I'm sticking with the most popular units first and will move on to other up-to-date lore when I have the time.
Bet you could do a tour on a Separatists flagship that rivals the Venator, the Providence.
Hitting a target at 180 billion kilometers is crazy! That's nearly half the distance between Earth and Mars.
Next video: Inside the General Grievous !
Top plz^^
Agreed. The invisible hand would be a quite fascinating video
Ok, so now I'm waiting for new incoming vid xD
I enjoy your videos. I appreciate you explaining the inside the ships.
2:39 Thats not a Vanator-class Star Destroyer. Thats a acclamator class assault ship.
good spot
Totally an Acclamator.
Sorry but you are wrong ... The Acclamator doesn't have a ventral launch bay whereas the Venator does. The episode that clip came from shows that the Republic attack fleet is made up of both classes of ships. While the Acclamator does lead the attack the Venator is also in the mix.
@@celticlad3251 but thats definetly not a Venator, look at the Jet propulsion.
The Best Space ship in entire series
Great job!
Thanks for the visit
5:00 Man, that's one big ass bolt holding the horizontal tube to the front of the spherical reactor.
Maybe do some videos of Separatist Alliance ships, and Rebel Alliance’s capital ships, and those in the Resistance?
Very good video
And what happen with the lasergun on the bottom of the ship? 5:50 always wondered to know his characteristics. Good video 👍🏻
Please to an in-depth part-by-part dissection of the Gonk Droid.
Gonk Droid? I haven't seen a dissection of it before. 😁
@@Halfscreen Exactly! 😁 Leave no servo unanalyzed!
Ooo, a vestibule, how fancy
THESE ARE SOOO GOOD
I KNOW RIGHT
Are we not going to talk about how amazingly well pronounced "Coruscant" is in this video?
AI voice over.
@Halfscreen I know bud, it's still the funniest thing I've heard all day!
@@darthmicrowave3998 😁
Fun fact: the venator is modeled after the shape of a dagger
Isn't that so with Kuat ships in general.
4:15 onwards gives a real sense of scale, zooming in to realise the tiny speck in front of the foreward-most LAAT is an Eta-2, which gives a decent size comparison for an individual humanoid; zooming back out with that in mind really shows you how big these proto-Star Destroyers were, arguably better than even Fallen Order, whose Venator interior mission is spread out over broken-off segments and busted-open areas with the whole thing on it's side, ruining the experience somewhat, whereas in this video you can easily imagine the ship fitting in the number of fighter / bomber / transports mentioned in the video, though I still same the number of crew on wookieepedia should have a zero knocked off the end, let alone troop compliment, or else the onboard barracks must be stuffed in all the space between reactor and control towers.
How much the speed got rid of all ships of this class most likely means that Venator had serious technical disadvantages. What is not surprisingly considering how quickly they were built.
no Sidious only got rid of them to purge all things related to Jedi as the venator was called the Jedi cruisers by the galaxy so he got rid of them they were very good ships and if empire kept them the rebellion would most likely had problems as the venator was very good against star fighters and would have made good star fighter defense cruisers at the least
@@topgun1457 If Venator was created for space battles, then Imperial is a tool for control over the conquered worlds. He is big, horrendous and can transport almost 4 times more infantry. Of course the air group from Imperial is much smaller, but that is, the causes. If the republic immediately received a huge number of trained clones of pilots and could quickly fill losses, the empire had to train their soldiers from scratch, which is difficult, expensive and not very effective. The same rebels completely quietly exchanged one of their fighter into two or three imperial. Therefore, aircraft carriers like Venator were practically useless for the Empire. However, even this is not a reason to write off thousands of star destroyers in the scrap. But once this is part of the canon, then for such actions there should be an important reason. And the technical disadvantages in combination with low quality assembly look much more convincingly than a certain connection with the Jedi about which almost no one remembered in Episode IV.
Where do I/can I get the cad files

Great video, but some of the reference videos were of an Acclamator class destroyer
Request: Inside the Providence-class carrier/destroyer, aka the Separatist Dreadnaught.
amazing video!
Thanks for the visit
my pleasure!
Awesome Video! Where did you find the model? Or did you do that yourself?
I download the exterior but model the internal. You can find the model at cgtrader.com and just search the model you want on google.
@@Halfscreen Ah I found it, the cheaper one with the interior right? Thank you I didn't know that existed
@@oldfridayboy5597 Whatever is cheap will do.
@@Halfscreen Yeah I wouln't really call that cheap but maybe I have no Idea what a 3D model normally costs🤐😂
@@oldfridayboy5597 Just downloads any free 3D model you can find.
I just wanted to see where the stationary, manually operated guns along the side were. The ones we see getting blown up in the battle over coruscant.
Спасибо большое. Жаль нигде не могу найти изображения и расположения всех орудий на винаторе. Везде изображены только восемь основных турбо лазеров.
Нет проблем и спасибо за просмотр
What about the Victory class? Weren't they in production during the end of the Clone Wars?
The Victory class was used by the Galactic Republic during the mid-Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire and the Corporate Sector during the Galactic Civil War and the Confederation during the Second Galactic Civil War.
@@Halfscreen thanks pal
The venator may be smaller, but his highlight is the fact rhat can trnasport TONS OF SHIPS
One question. Where are the bedrooms for the clones?
with the same ways of the VENATOR class ship is like the 1 star DESTOYER as it be helping out too,
the venator's main turbolasers could hit targets as far away as 10 LIGHT MINUTES?
Meaning the distance light travels in 10 MINUTES?
is there any way to get a 3d model cross section venator or must i eyeball it, im looking to create a 1:1 (as close as possible) replica in satisfactory the game, wanted to make a full interior aswell but its hard to get a sense of the general structure under the hull, i see this was based on the cross section book judging by the limited and specific cross section views, unfortunately im at the same point i cant seem to get my head around how to go about it, i dont really want to make it up as i go but the limited venator info out there is probably going to force me to have to make up alot of the inbetweens, the lego clone wars game gives a very downscaled perspective of the inside walkways etc but i know the lego game version is just nowhere near accurate enough to be scalable, thank you for this video though, the 180 degree view under the bridge especially helps in how i should layout the internal structure
Unfornately, some of the design have to be made up due the limited amount of cross-section drawing. There only one image I used to recreate the 3d model.
This video is not ackurate and misleading in many parts of the video but visuals are amazing
You won a new sub. 👍🏻
Welcome aboard!
Great video, but what about accomodations, services, ammenities, etc.?
I've forgot to add in the accommodations.
So,the venator interior&exterior are finished,tomorrow,i will put here the link of Mediafire to the vídeo of the interior of that.
The Turbo Lasers on a Venator Class can go up to 111,769,438 Miles, ie 10 LM.
It's interesting to see how the ship designers didn't incorporate much in the way of crew space.
They probably did, but because the size of the ship is so large, its hardly noticeable.
also the Republic, at least at first, didn't really care if their clone crews were comfortable about anything.
@@wyatthamill6240 Yeah, they were just cockroaches to the republic..
Pretty sure the one with the dorsal hanger doors was a variant that didn't have the side and bottom hanger bays. Maybe I'm remembering that wrong.
Some extra info on the Venator:
Ion thrust engines
59million credit cost
Crew 7400
Class 1.0 hyperdrive
6 tractor beam projectors
52 point defence cannons
2 medium dual turbo laser cannons
4 torpedo tubes each holding 16 torpedoes
Carries 2000 clone troopers
40 LAAT
24 AT-TE
Various speeders, AT RTs, etc
Anakin and Obi Wan's open circle fleet equipped an SPHA-T in the ventral hangar bay
3000 G acceleration
975 kph atmospherical speed
Peak power output 3,6 times ten to the power of 24 W
20 000 tons cargo capacity
2 years worth of consumables
Thanks for the additional info!
@@Halfscreen No, thank you for your great content ;)
I really love your videos, could you do an AT-M6 Walker next?
It really depend if I can get a hold of a 3D model.
How can this land on the surface of planet and deploy troops when it dont have any landibg gear etc. Can you please answer this question?
I love the Venators and other Republic designs, as I am pro-Republic but anti-corrupt-bureaucracy, knowing about the corruption. I always think think that the Venator’s design is better than Imperial ones in many ways, it being a fighter bomber carrier, being more maneuverable, has great firepower, and it’s more impressive-look and more creative design.
I also can’t help but find it funny that the AI can’t pronounce Coruscant right. It says “Corus-can’t” 😂
I have learned over the past few years to manually adjust the AI pronunciation of certain words correctly.
Range of 10 light minutes is a 'lot'. Static target, sure. But a moving target is by definition seen where it was full ten minutes ago.
Could you maybe do some Separatist ships? Like the Providence class dreadnaught or Munificent class frigate?
Its really depend if I can find a good 3D model first before I even attempt at recreating an animation.
¿Podrías hablar sobre los cruceros estelares de la república clase acclamator, me encantan pero no se cómo son?
Déjame pensar en ello. Probablemente más tarde.
@@Halfscreen esperare, gracias😊❤
I’m hire certain that Geonosis clip was an acclamator not a venator
My favorite star di-stoyer
0:10 I’m sorry? What? Oh my lord, i am never calling Coruscant the same way again. Hahahaha
The Venator didnt have any landing gear, so it was really hard for them to land on any planet surface. The Venators needed special docks to land on, like the ones they had on coruscant
but it could land if it had to, the ISD couldn't land at all because it was so heavy it would colaps.
@@bardedkgaming2529 well if it is was a controlled landing and not a crash landing yes, but even so the venator seems to stay in one peace even during crashes well if it belly lands idk about a nose in crash
These are really cool and all. But in all honesty, this is nothing that we haven't already seen before. Take the cross-section of the Venator as seen here. It's the same as with the incredible cross section books. Like, sure, it's interesting to see that visualized in 3 dimensions, that certainly is something unique and amazing. But again, some of us hardcore Star Wars fans have seen it, albeit in 2D, but still. It's nothing directly... You know... New. But I guess that is how it is when speaking of making something as accurately and true to how it is as possible. There isn't really anything better to go off of than the incredible cross section books after all... God, would have been SO awesome to have an actual floor plan of some of these ships, wouldn't it? XD
These animations are typically for people who don't really know these starships. I have to admit, the hardcore fans know more then me. 😁
@@Halfscreen Well, then I thank you for contributing more information about the lesser known stuff to the fans who don't know as much. ^^
Can you cover vessels from the Mass Effect Universe? Would love to hear you give a detailed description of a Reaper.
Star Trek vessels would also be cool.
Agreed
Great suggestion! I'm open into other areas beside Star Wars. If you happen to know where can a good cross reference of the Star Trek vessels.
All SW ships feature bridges in vulnerable positions (it´s sad, how crazy their placement is), with ST human ships closely following.
The bridge, along with engineering section, should be the two most protected areas of the ship. But let´s put the bridge on top, so everyone can see it, target it and - if needed - destroy it.
In the empire this was actually intended. They wanted to show the enemy where the bridge is and where captain and admiral are positioned. Basically telling the enemy: "we are here and we don't fear you!"
Amazing videos have you done the X wing or Tie fighter
Not yet...it's in the pipeline
how many meant bags did it generally carry?
Halfscreen! Are you interested in possibly having someone narrate your videos, rather than using TTS? If so, I’d be happy to offer myself. I couldn’t find an email to contact you, so I figured a comment was the best way to reach you. Awesome video!
Thanks. I'm going to give my voice a try in my next videos. I used a computer VO to streamline my workflow because spending 20-30 hrs per video was going to burn me out. AI VO was going to save me another 4-5 hours of recording time.
If my voice doesn't work, I will give you a holla. I really appreciate the offer!
@@Halfscreen awesome! Keep up the amazing work
