Fun Fact:The fastest Starfighter in Star Wars is the Missile Boat which can reach a humble speed of 122 MGLT, but with the energy directed only to the engines it can reach 250 MGLT and with the SLAM this starfighter can reach 426 MGLT.
I don't sure that it can be called a starfighter because it functions very much like a miniature arsenal ship. Not even mini bomber likes Su-34 or F-15E/F can carry that much weight of ordinance, but Missile Boat did it with that small package.
A very fast ship from Legends that deserves to be mentioned is the "Ascendant Spear", a colossal imperial destroyer neurally controlled by the seductive Sith Falleen Darth Karrid. Due to both its class 0.5 hyperdrive and Karrid's indomitable will, it was much faster and more destructive than anyone in the galaxy could imagine.
The fastest ship without a doubt was the ancient Sith Dreadnough "the Harbinger". It was so damn fast it literaly traveled 5000 years into the future by just making an hyper-space jump. Shame the people they tried to meet couldn't appreciate such feat 😅
I think being a gear head is definitely an aspect closely tied into the Star Wars mythology - Lucas was a gear head, that Hot Rod mentality from the 1950’s and 60’s is a big part of what makes Star Wars fun
It frankly makes no sense at all for any ship with particle shields (the shields that stop matter from passing through). I can't think of any reason such a ship couldn't configure it's shields in a Sears-Haack body shape, or even rain/teardrop shape to reduce drag as much as possible, and then push it.
@@nonameman525 Maybe it costs more energy? Like in space they mostly deflect some random particles , but in atmosphere at those speeds constant atmosphere friction might cost heavily just to make it fly and not fly like thier brick shapes 😂🎉
@@sumukhvmrsat6347 I wouldn't think so. The shields on an X-Wing for example, can take several high energy blaster/laser hits from a tie fighter. That's positive protection in a burst scenario. They also have no trouble at all dealing the the extremes of atmospheric entry/re-entry, which is extreme heat and friction over an extended time frame. The energy to keep the shields up at relatively slow speeds like Mach 1-5 would be nothing by comparison to either of those mentioned above. So we know it's feasible from a power supply POV, and a strain on the shield generators POV. The energy costs of muscling the ship through the atmosphere is substantial, and even if the cost of keeping the deflectors up in high supersonic in-atmo flight is greater, it would still give the all shielded craft a ridiculous advantage when engaging with unshielded craft while in atmo. TIE line fighters are all sub sonic in atmo, and would be no different than sitting ducks for Rebel/NR fighters moving 2 - 10x their relative velocities.
I just watched “The Sith are Lonely” video you made and I just thought about it. If Vader died on Mustafar who would’ve been palpatines enforcer like Vader was? Maybe an interesting video idea. Like were there any other potential candidates palpatine had in mind?
Ok, I'll be the fuddy duddy here. Two ship breakdown Ideas here: 1. A long form marathon video on notable fanon ships. Many of them have associated fanon lore. It could be fun and it could be a lengthy video. 2. Can we get a marathon deep dive ship breakdown with updated stats and lore on lesser known starships canon/legends? No specific focus per se, but just a deep dive on all starships. There is a video out there already, but there are just so many more ships that didn't make the cut. I love these longer ship breakdown videos.
I know it wasn't a star fighter, but I wonder what the MGLT was for the Eye of Sion? It was a large hyperspace transport ring built under the supervision of the witch Morgan Elsbeth, with the intent of reaching Peridea. Built with 5 SSD hyperdrive. It probably very slow sub-light speed, but boy did it pack a punch when it when into hyperspace.
That was a slick BSG Viper move by Vader in his X1, where he took out at least one A-Wing by flipping over and firing, while coasting in reverse. At first I thought he was flipping around to avoid the nose of that corvette, but then I saw his attitude and thought “wellllll, that cheeky, cheeky bastard.”

What boggles my mind is thinking about how some of the ships had speeds not consistent with their canonical portrayal. In A New Hope, the Tantive IV, based on these ratings, should have outpaced the ISD pretty comfortably. So it’s kinda weird that the ISD ever managed to get within firing range in the first place.
In cannon, the Tantive IV was heavily damaged and undergoing maintenance during the battle of Scariff. This included damage to the engines and the hyperdrive, so the ship was definitely not traveling at top speed.
Are you referring to sublight speeds in space? Or the MGLT rating in atmosphere…which I don’t understand how that measurement is derived nor why it would apply to in-atmosphere speeds.
@@ronjon7942 In atmosphere speeds are a mess in themselves. Apparently the X-wing can manage 1,050 km/h, yet the TIE fighter, which is about as aerodynamic as a _brick_ can somehow make 1,200 km/h
You should update the top rated starships for hyperspace capabilities. I would add the Eye of Sion into this list due to the ship having six SISD hyperdrives
For #18 : it’s the TIE/Ln - “Line”, named for being the main line starfighter for the Imperial Navy. It definitely looks like an “i” when written out as TIE/ln.
The best way to describe the RZ2 A wing to the RZ1 A wing is like a Rousch Mustang. You can buy a Mustang from Ford, and through modifications, you could make 700-800hp, or you could get a Rousch Mustang that has the same level of modifications and power from the box, but it's been manufactured that way and the manufacturer's warranty is still valid.

Arakyd Helix yacht/fighter/freighter. Nothing faster that's not involved in a relativistic incident. Basically the SWU Bugatti Vairon... (The MGLT listing has to be a typo, as it was marketed as faster than the Awing or TIE Interceptor with a sublight speed above both in the RPG.) Fun fact: the MGLT rating is directly correlated to the RPG "Sublight Speed" Value given in ship STATS, just shift a Decimal place and tweak the 1/10ths place to add variation. TIE Interceptor Sub Spd = 11 (D20) 11d (WEG D6), MGLT =110 Awing sub Spd = 12 (D20) /12d (WEG D6), MGLT = 120.
Since you brought up RPG and WEG d6 with each class of ship or grade of star fighter or cargo ship Speed Units. From WEG to WotC 3e to 4e Saga Edition Star Wars and other side books, the average flight speed from a planets orbit to nearest moon is 30minutes. The moon from earth is basic a light second away. So Star Wars ships move at 2light seconds per hour with imperial t/e interceptors travel at 8ls/hr. Just for the T/E fighter to break orbit it has to go 12km/8mi per sec for 3minutes to get to space. Along with a navigation deflector to push aside space dust which would impact with around 2.7x the force of the A10 warthog cannon bullet fire from head on conclusions. Then you have orbital space dust clouds on side impacts that you want to avoid. Flak moving at around 24km/sec can be a wreaker. Yeah we were a bunch of nerds that like word math problems. Some Roll play, others role play and then you had us. As for that clip from Mandolarian, " Did him just Jump ?" Size of the given planet, I could say the boosters just went x3 to 4 planet diameter per second, say 27,000km to 32,000km per second. I love the humor of the scene but the star fighters inertia dampener ?
Some of the background from the sequel trilogy made feel like I was 13 playing Star Wars force unleashed again, so darn good. If only they hadn't mucked up the plotlines so badly
Din Jarins N1 is probably the fastest ship in the galaxy cause i dont think anyone has ever commented on any other ship thinking they kicked on the hyperdrive i wonder though... at what speed do you need to be to mimic the slowest hyperdrive
In Star Wars, one megalight per hour (MGLT) is approximately 1/1,000,000 of a lightyear, or 1,097 kilometers per hour (km/h). This is equal to 640 miles per hour (mph).
0:40 I would like to assume a mega light is 1 millionth of a light year 9.46 million kilometers (which can be rounded up to 9.5 M KM) and is about 5.84 million miles which can be rounded to 5.8 million
You're not sure how far a megalight is but you're going to use it anyway. I guess that works for 'this is faster than that' or something. But some people might have their own personal favorite ships that they want to compare and megalights being undesignated leaves them at a loss. Perhaps you could give you're arbitrary distance of a megalight for reference?
Star Wars being Star Wars. There's some grease monkey that dumpster dove in a places like Jakku or Exegol and cobbled together a one of a kind insanely fast ship.
Hello, I would like to point out awhile back we concluded 1 MGLT was equal to "MACH 1.1" based on the canon length of a Executor Class Super Star Destroyer, and how fast a TIE Fighter travels the length of one from stern too bow traveling " 1 MGTL" In the lore, for most ships, they are able to travel much much faster in Atmosphere with their shields on and intact. So if a TIE Interceptor with shields on wanted to travel on a earth like planet at max top Atmospheric speed, it would travel at 111 MGTL = MACH 122.1. I suspect all ships have limiter's in their flight computers that wont let them fly at top speeds with shields on populated planets, because in theory a squadron of "Zaarin TIE Defenders" flying at MACH 198 for a long time could cause a planet serious problems. This numbers look close to correct because the acceleration for the engines on a TIE Interceptor or TIE Defender is the fastest in popular fictions. Macross Valkyries and even War Hammer 40ks Star Fighters can not keep up with the acceleration Star Wars Rebellion era craft have. The TIE Interceptor and the TIE Defender have an g acceleration of 4,220. One g is equal to 22 MPH per sec. For the two mentioned ties, it would be 92,840 MPH per sec or MACH 121 per sec.
if u were to travel at Mach 122 youd have to be at a certain altitude just to be clear of any mountain or high structure you could possibly run in cuz at that speed even 10 miles are nothing
One thing this comparison overlooks is quickness versus speed. Sure the older Y-wings had a higher top speed, but how quickly could they reach it? Probably similar issues with other ships, like Arc 170, sure it had a similar top speed to an X-Wing, but I imagine the X-Wing accelerated faster.
Regarding the N-1 Naboo Starfighter; Mando-Dad outran New Republic era X-Wings (Probably still T-65B's) easily with his broken-down, rebuilt, piece of junk N-1 above Tatooine. Modified, even, with a non-aerodynamic bubble top for Grogurt (I know, space has no atmosphere for friction, so aerodynamics has zero factor in space) Edit: Just watched to the end of the video, yeah, Mando-Dad's N-1 WAS heavily modified... okay.
the first order star destoryer being the second fastest ship makes The Last Jedi look even worse... its just one giant chase where the fastest ships in the galaxy couldn't catch the resistance.
I like the YT freighters, but i always thought the Falcon was overrated. Lando and han made a lot of modifications to the ship, but stuff was always breaking on it as a result.
The A-9 Vigilance as well (there's supposedly a follow on A-10, but no info is ever given that I know of in Legends)...but it's probably place pretty high in this particular list
Grand Admiral Zaarins TIE Defenders and Grand Admiral Thrawns Missile Boat are dramatically faster. The Missile Boat with "slam" activated is traveling mglt 400-500
I had always thought if ships used their shields in atmosphere, they could have a more aerodynamic ‘shape’ and go much, much faster. But then I caught in some video/comments that shields can’t be deployed in atmosphere?? Why would that be?
I feel like the Y-Wings' numbers are wrong. One of the main reasons for removing the plating on Rebellion Y-Wings was to increase their speed and maneuverability, so the clone wars model should not be faster. Maintenance was another issue, but I seriously doubt the Rebellion or the manufacturer would have made changes that slowed the ship down.
most of these could use a rework. with the size of the Y-wing's engines relative to it's hull it should be one of the faster starfighters, except for the brainbug of Bomber=slow. there is also no good reason that the Lamda would not only be slower than the bigger, heavier, Sentinel, but slower than the ISD itself.
@GoranXII No, many of the individual ships may have been older by the Battle of Yavin may have been older, but the design definitely wasn't. Y-Wings were first introduced during the Clone wars. The Clone Wars Y-Wing that this video mentioned at 100mgl was the first model. The later Y-Wings would have either been a later version (which should have been improved) or Clone Wars models stripped down by the Rebellion to reduce their weight and increase their speed and maneuverability. As such, the Rebellion Y-Wings should have at least been the same speed as the Clone Wars Y-Wings, if not faster after their modifications. You may be able to excuse slow speed on an individual ship, but not the entire line. Going further, the post-Galactic Civil War model, in particular, should have been at least as fast or faster than both of the prior two models. It doesn't make sense for that model, which was completely "new" to be slower than the Clone wars model when it is based on newer tech and doesn't include all of the heavy armor of that model.
@@chrishakala528 It's clearly stated in the video that the Ships the rebels had were BTL-A4s, while the Clone Wars ones were BTL-Bs, so clearly a later design. Or maybe the -Bs were souped-up 'money-no-object' units, but too high-maintenance for the Rebellion. As for the Rebellion-era stuff, it was mostly years old, and almost certainly had to make do with whatever parts could be procured, rather than whatever parts gave the best performance. And in the New Republic era, it's possible the budget wasn't available to procure craft with better performance. Or maybe the thought was that, without the Empire, the anti-capital-ship bombers wouldn't need much improvement.
@GoranXII No, the BTL-B was the original model. In the Clone Wars TV series, they are first used in the attack on the Malevolence, and it is strongly implied, if not outright stated, that this is either the first ever use of Y-Wings in combat, or one of the very first times it was used. Sources such as Wookiepedia also clearly state that the BTL-B Y-Wing starfighter was the very first model of the craft. I think you are misinterpreting the designation. The Y-Wing models are not designated in lexigraphical order. The BTL-A4 isn't older than the BTL-B just because it has an "A" in it. Likewise, the "S" in the BTL-S3 doesn't denote when it was manufactured compared to the others. The BTLA4 and BTL-S3 are both newer models than the BTL-B. All of this still misses the point that the brand new latest model, the BTA-NR2", shouldn't be inferior to the Clone Wars model either. My guess is that the BTL-B's speed is exaggerated in one or more source books without a proper comparison to the other ships.
So you're telling me that if a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer saw a squad of ships coming at it they could just high-tail it out of there and people couldn't do anything about it?
In fairness to the Alliance's Y-wings, they were stolen from scrapyards, and given that they were decommissioned, that also meant that replacement parts for them were also being pulled and scrapped. The Alliance had to scronge what they could and jury-rig when they could not scrounge in order to keep them functional. While it is theoretically possible to adapt parts or components of parts in some cases, there is no guarantee that this would maintain specs, let alone improve them, even more so over if trying to apply across a whole fleet of them. So yeah, I am not surprised that the Republic Y-wing was faster.
That doesn't make sense? The lore for Gold Squadrons A4s has it that the engine are so turbo charged that they have the same speed capabilities as all the T65 X-Wings. Also Gold 2 moded the maneuverability capabilities of his A4 to be equal to a T-65
@@lancer737 Where did I say that it doesn't make sense? Care to point that out? And Gold Squadron proves my point. It proves that maintenance and even upgrades for the Alliance's Y-wings were possible while simultaneously proving that Gold Squadron was one of the few examples of this, which meant that it could NOT be said for most Y-wing squadrons. Also, even Gold Squadron had the same difficulty with the supply chains for their Y-wings' parts, quite possibly even more difficulty for the more unique parts they obtained for their upgrades. So again, where did I say that it doesn't make sense?
@@DavidRichardson153 you made it sound like the BTL-B variation is faster when the A4 is more of a heavy fighter, which tend to be faster than most craft, just not maneuverable "usually" We have seen Gold Squadron and other A4 Squadron keep up with even TIE Interceptors, so I wouldn't assume A4s are slow and sluggish, minus what Rogue Squadron had, in comparison to the BTL-B and BTL-S3.
Since when does the TIE Defender not go 144 MGLT as it's normal cruise? With all energy directed to engines it could do a staggering 180 MGLT! This is why The Empire built the Missile Boat, in case one of the TIE Defender Pilots went rogue, the missile boat could hunt it down and destroy it. @Obiwan7100 gave the correct stats for it too.

Then you have orbital space dust clouds on side impacts that you want to avoid. Flak moving at around 24km/sec can be a wreaker.
Yeah we were a bunch of nerds that like word math problems. Some Roll play, others role play and then you had us.
As for that clip from Mandolarian, " Did him just Jump ?"
Size of the given planet, I could say the boosters just went x3 to 4 planet diameter per second, say 27,000km to 32,000km per second.
I love the humor of the scene but the star fighters inertia dampener ?
Whats with Tie platforms having no visable thruster output? What is different about their engines?
TIE's use twin Ion Engines.
Some of the background from the sequel trilogy made feel like I was 13 playing Star Wars force unleashed again, so darn good. If only they hadn't mucked up the plotlines so badly
Din Jarins N1 is probably the fastest ship in the galaxy
cause i dont think anyone has ever commented on any other ship thinking they kicked on the hyperdrive
i wonder though... at what speed do you need to be to mimic the slowest hyperdrive
My favorites are the TIE interceptor a very raw, but capable fighter and the TIE silencer, it's just so fckin cool
In Star Wars, one megalight per hour (MGLT) is approximately 1/1,000,000 of a lightyear, or 1,097 kilometers per hour (km/h). This is equal to 640 miles per hour (mph).
What kinda speed can we expect to see from an off the line Jawa sand crawler?
0:40
I would like to assume a mega light is 1 millionth of a light year 9.46 million kilometers (which can be rounded up to 9.5 M KM) and is about 5.84 million miles which can be rounded to 5.8 million
A-Wing superiority all the way. The interceptor interceptor
Only the Suncrusher is higher on my list
The Courier-class yacht certainly *looks* fast, but I can’t seem to find a MGLT for it, either. Ah, well… 🤷🏻♂️
You're not sure how far a megalight is but you're going to use it anyway. I guess that works for 'this is faster than that' or something. But some people might have their own personal favorite ships that they want to compare and megalights being undesignated leaves them at a loss. Perhaps you could give you're arbitrary distance of a megalight for reference?

Very Nice 💛💛
The "Alan says 'robust'" drinking game is alcohol-poisoning-level madness. 😁🍻🥃🍷🍹🍺🥂
I'd fly a Aurek Strikefighter any day. A modernized version would be pretty awesome...
Star Wars being Star Wars. There's some grease monkey that dumpster dove in a places like Jakku or Exegol and cobbled together a one of a kind insanely fast ship.
The arc 170 isn't a failure they just didn't use in it's proper role never meant for dog fighting
No Z-95 Headhunter?
Hello, I would like to point out awhile back we concluded 1 MGLT was equal to "MACH 1.1" based on the canon length of a Executor Class Super Star Destroyer, and how fast a TIE Fighter travels the length of one from stern too bow traveling " 1 MGTL"
In the lore, for most ships, they are able to travel much much faster in Atmosphere with their shields on and intact. So if a TIE Interceptor with shields on wanted to travel on a earth like planet at max top Atmospheric speed, it would travel at 111 MGTL = MACH 122.1.
I suspect all ships have limiter's in their flight computers that wont let them fly at top speeds with shields on populated planets, because in theory a squadron of "Zaarin TIE Defenders" flying at MACH 198 for a long time could cause a planet serious problems.
This numbers look close to correct because the acceleration for the engines on a TIE Interceptor or TIE Defender is the fastest in popular fictions. Macross Valkyries and even War Hammer 40ks Star Fighters can not keep up with the acceleration Star Wars Rebellion era craft have.
The TIE Interceptor and the TIE Defender have an g acceleration of 4,220. One g is equal to 22 MPH per sec. For the two mentioned ties, it would be 92,840 MPH per sec or MACH 121 per sec.
if u were to travel at Mach 122 youd have to be at a certain altitude just to be clear of any mountain or high structure you could possibly run in cuz at that speed even 10 miles are nothing
One thing this comparison overlooks is quickness versus speed. Sure the older Y-wings had a higher top speed, but how quickly could they reach it? Probably similar issues with other ships, like Arc 170, sure it had a similar top speed to an X-Wing, but I imagine the X-Wing accelerated faster.
He didn’t rank The Ghost. Wow
I can't find an MGLT rating for either the Ghost or the VCX-100. that's probably why it's not included.
Dolphins attack at midnight
Regarding the N-1 Naboo Starfighter; Mando-Dad outran New Republic era X-Wings (Probably still T-65B's) easily with his broken-down, rebuilt, piece of junk N-1 above Tatooine. Modified, even, with a non-aerodynamic bubble top for Grogurt (I know, space has no atmosphere for friction, so aerodynamics has zero factor in space)
Edit: Just watched to the end of the video, yeah, Mando-Dad's N-1 WAS heavily modified... okay.
the first order star destoryer being the second fastest ship makes The Last Jedi look even worse... its just one giant chase where the fastest ships in the galaxy couldn't catch the resistance.
I like the YT freighters, but i always thought the Falcon was overrated. Lando and han made a lot of modifications to the ship, but stuff was always breaking on it as a result.
Ships I would have liked to see, even though they both would probably have been at the bottom of this list, the Cloakshape and the I-7 Howlrunner
The A-9 Vigilance as well (there's supposedly a follow on A-10, but no info is ever given that I know of in Legends)...but it's probably place pretty high in this particular list
Glorious
Silencer is my favorite. It's the best part of the sequel trilogy.
I see you didn't include the tri droid fighter at 125 MGLT the fastest untill the sequel era
Grand Admiral Zaarins TIE Defenders and Grand Admiral Thrawns Missile Boat are dramatically faster.
The Missile Boat with "slam" activated is traveling mglt 400-500
The ST has some lazy ship design but I LOVE the TIE Silencer and how OP it is
N1 mentioned 😤✊
Where is anakins personal space ship from zonama sekot. Legends requierd
I had always thought if ships used their shields in atmosphere, they could have a more aerodynamic ‘shape’ and go much, much faster.
But then I caught in some video/comments that shields can’t be deployed in atmosphere?? Why would that be?
Well after a year of asking im going to geuss he won't see or won't do my video idea...
So, comment for the algorithm
Do you think the star wars galaxy would survive Bill Cipher?
I'm surprised the Providence got in over the much faster Recusant.
Technically a droid but the Droid Tri-Fighter has a listed MGL of 125, no wonder they were able to outmaneuver the ARC-170
Ah 6 years ago we were so naive, we had no idea that getting stabbed by a lightsaber was just a mere flesh wound
Ahh, yes, star wars space ships lore ❤
I noticed you put the YT 1300 in there. Where would the falcon itself rate or did I just miss that?
The Falcon has stock engines
Rogue Shadow for me! Not because its fast but because its loved! By me!
I feel like the Y-Wings' numbers are wrong. One of the main reasons for removing the plating on Rebellion Y-Wings was to increase their speed and maneuverability, so the clone wars model should not be faster.
Maintenance was another issue, but I seriously doubt the Rebellion or the manufacturer would have made changes that slowed the ship down.
most of these could use a rework. with the size of the Y-wing's engines relative to it's hull it should be one of the faster starfighters, except for the brainbug of Bomber=slow.
there is also no good reason that the Lamda would not only be slower than the bigger, heavier, Sentinel, but slower than the ISD itself.
The Rebellion Y-wings were:
Older designs
_Much_ older vessel
Repaired with whatever parts were available, not those that were best suited
@GoranXII No, many of the individual ships may have been older by the Battle of Yavin may have been older, but the design definitely wasn't.
Y-Wings were first introduced during the Clone wars. The Clone Wars Y-Wing that this video mentioned at 100mgl was the first model. The later Y-Wings would have either been a later version (which should have been improved) or Clone Wars models stripped down by the Rebellion to reduce their weight and increase their speed and maneuverability. As such, the Rebellion Y-Wings should have at least been the same speed as the Clone Wars Y-Wings, if not faster after their modifications. You may be able to excuse slow speed on an individual ship, but not the entire line.
Going further, the post-Galactic Civil War model, in particular, should have been at least as fast or faster than both of the prior two models. It doesn't make sense for that model, which was completely "new" to be slower than the Clone wars model when it is based on newer tech and doesn't include all of the heavy armor of that model.
@@chrishakala528 It's clearly stated in the video that the Ships the rebels had were BTL-A4s, while the Clone Wars ones were BTL-Bs, so clearly a later design. Or maybe the -Bs were souped-up 'money-no-object' units, but too high-maintenance for the Rebellion.
As for the Rebellion-era stuff, it was mostly years old, and almost certainly had to make do with whatever parts could be procured, rather than whatever parts gave the best performance.
And in the New Republic era, it's possible the budget wasn't available to procure craft with better performance. Or maybe the thought was that, without the Empire, the anti-capital-ship bombers wouldn't need much improvement.
@GoranXII No, the BTL-B was the original model. In the Clone Wars TV series, they are first used in the attack on the Malevolence, and it is strongly implied, if not outright stated, that this is either the first ever use of Y-Wings in combat, or one of the very first times it was used. Sources such as Wookiepedia also clearly state that the BTL-B Y-Wing starfighter was the very first model of the craft.
I think you are misinterpreting the designation. The Y-Wing models are not designated in lexigraphical order.
The BTL-A4 isn't older than the BTL-B just because it has an "A" in it. Likewise, the "S" in the BTL-S3 doesn't denote when it was manufactured compared to the others. The BTLA4 and BTL-S3 are both newer models than the BTL-B.
All of this still misses the point that the brand new latest model, the BTA-NR2", shouldn't be inferior to the Clone Wars model either. My guess is that the BTL-B's speed is exaggerated in one or more source books without a proper comparison to the other ships.
So you're telling me that if a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer saw a squad of ships coming at it they could just high-tail it out of there and people couldn't do anything about it?
How fast was the Lancer class pursuit craft?
Hi friends, welcome to Alan. My name is Generation Tech.
In fairness to the Alliance's Y-wings, they were stolen from scrapyards, and given that they were decommissioned, that also meant that replacement parts for them were also being pulled and scrapped. The Alliance had to scronge what they could and jury-rig when they could not scrounge in order to keep them functional. While it is theoretically possible to adapt parts or components of parts in some cases, there is no guarantee that this would maintain specs, let alone improve them, even more so over if trying to apply across a whole fleet of them.
So yeah, I am not surprised that the Republic Y-wing was faster.
That doesn't make sense? The lore for Gold Squadrons A4s has it that the engine are so turbo charged that they have the same speed capabilities as all the T65 X-Wings. Also Gold 2 moded the maneuverability capabilities of his A4 to be equal to a T-65
@@lancer737 Where did I say that it doesn't make sense? Care to point that out?
And Gold Squadron proves my point. It proves that maintenance and even upgrades for the Alliance's Y-wings were possible while simultaneously proving that Gold Squadron was one of the few examples of this, which meant that it could NOT be said for most Y-wing squadrons. Also, even Gold Squadron had the same difficulty with the supply chains for their Y-wings' parts, quite possibly even more difficulty for the more unique parts they obtained for their upgrades.
So again, where did I say that it doesn't make sense?
@@DavidRichardson153 you made it sound like the BTL-B variation is faster when the A4 is more of a heavy fighter, which tend to be faster than most craft, just not maneuverable "usually"
We have seen Gold Squadron and other A4 Squadron keep up with even TIE Interceptors, so I wouldn't assume A4s are slow and sluggish, minus what Rogue Squadron had, in comparison to the BTL-B and BTL-S3.
N1 goes near lightspeed = star wars version of a sonic boom
Alright Gear Head Alan is back!
A wild DayZ reference appeared!
Imagine a tie interceptor with a missile launcher launching buzz droids
Mglt: a millionth of a light year.
Why not just invest in 100 or 200 tie defenders and put them on the death star? It seems like a good combination.
The resurgences speed explains why it couldn't catch up to the rebel fleet in episode 8 🙄
Is there a MGLT to MPH/KPH that corresponds with perceived speeds from on camera battles? The ones I've seen are disproportionately fast.
Maybe we should go by parsecs just remember we did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs😂
Since when does the TIE Defender not go 144 MGLT as it's normal cruise? With all energy directed to engines it could do a staggering 180 MGLT! This is why The Empire built the Missile Boat, in case one of the TIE Defender Pilots went rogue, the missile boat could hunt it down and destroy it. @Obiwan7100 gave the correct stats for it too.
The dude is probably using canon as reference
