The death star is the ultimate bounty hunter ship. "What's that, you don't care if he's dead or about collateral damage? Alright, I can get that guy, I heard he's on Aldaraan."
I always thought the u-wing would make a fitting replacement for the mando after the razorcrest. It’s big enough to be a fitting protagonist ship and I just want to see more of it after rogue one.
Thanks to Squadrons, it's def in the early-NR era, so there's a chance
@@cptTK421 I also think for what’s ahead in the future I think it’s a bit more suited for Mandos purposes then the razorcrest. Don’t get me wrong I loved the old bird but mando barely out ran the x wings, and a grandma in a z-95 could out fox a tie fighter. The u-wing could offer a bit more utility in a slimmer package
Rogue* not rouge.
@@valravnsshadow9422 fixed it
SAME!!!, U-Wing is probably one of my favorite “new recent” ships in the Star Wars universe, if I was a bounty hunter I would use my credits and buy the U-Wing (also wouldn’t U-Wing a bit old by now?)
8: Maul's Sith Infiltrator, it has stealth capabilities
I think it's custom made, I don't think it's a marketed starship.
@@arthurbriand2175 It was customised, but based on a stock vessel made by Seinar Fleet Systems, but that said, even the base ship was expensive as balls and if a Bounty Hunter could afford the ship and all the tech that went into the Infiltrator, then he's probably rich enough to retire comfortably already
I agree, and I feel like that ship is often overlooked
It was definitely a cool ship but like most sith custom vehicles very few if one one were made. My favorite of this type of ship is the X-70B phantom.... Such a advanced and great looking ship.
That's a good one.
I would go with:
• the Rogue Shadow
• The Basilisk, it appeared on the Dxun in the Mandalorian hidden fort, they had these assault ships that fall like meteors from KOTOR 2(later on someone made up a Droid and it made everything convoluted, but take a look at the game if you wish to see what I'm talking about)
• Scimitar
• Raider II-class Corvette
I’d probably go with the U-Wing if I had to pick from these seven. Use the upper backspace as a living quarter and convert the lower level into holding cells and cargo.
Or the tie reaper
The G-9 Rigger-class Freighter, the “Twilight” would be a fantastic bounty Hunter ship. It’s one of my favourites from Star Wars, I can’t really explain why.
I came here to grumble about this choice but on reflection it is a good one. Piece of junk on the outside so blends in fairly well and seems to give a good account of itself. Decent choice.
Probably because of the two outrigger wing panels that expand to an open position, when the ship takes off in flight. Very reminiscent of the B-Wing she is. In addition, it's rotating Wing cannons are what allowed R-2 to get his first space ship droid kills !!! 👍👍
Upgrade the shields and chuck on a few extra weapons and you may be in business. ;)
Enough cargo space to fit cells, comfortable sleeping for 1-a small group, and can fit a number of small craft including speeders or a small stsrfighter.
Because it's like the Millennium Falcon, it's a freighter.
The Y-Wing is an interesting choice. If I recall right, the reason why the Rebels stripped it from the armor that the Y-Wing sported during the Clone War is because the maintenance and mechanic crews had to access the internals of the Y-Wing soo frequently due to breakdowns that it was simply easier to pluck the armor plates off for accessibility.
Not to mention that without the added weight of the armor it became more maneuverable and faster.
And by the time of the Battle of Yavin, starfighter weapons technology had progressed to the point that the Y-Wing’s stock armor was completely useless anyway.
@@earlware4322
In atmosphere, certainly. Not sure how much weight would affect flight in space (a zero-G vacuum).
@@InhabitantOfOddworlda heavier ship has more mass which would require more energy to move\change directions etc so it definitely matters. Only thing that doesn't matter is the aerodynamics of the ship in space.
A YT-2400 Light Freighter would be a good choice. Common throughout the galaxy, easily modifiable, fast, living quarters, cargo bay, and can be heavily armed. The cockpit is also a big escape pod.
My choice too, cracking ship, plenty of mod space and common enough to blend in.
Is that the one from Star Wars Rebels, I forgot what the crew’s name was that flew the ship
@@colbysteffens2976 No, the YT-2400 looks like the Millennium Falcon. Basically a newer model.
@@colbysteffens2976 Obe of them did appear in that show in one episode, but the Ghost is a VCX-100. The YT-2400 Is most commonly know as Dash Rendars Outrider.
The YT-2400 would 100% be my ship of choice if I was in that universe. It's such a nice look to it.
Honestly, out of this list I’d probably pick the U-Wing
If the Flarestar-class attack shuttle is good enough for pirates it is good enough for bounty hunting, I say. Good size, decent armaments, just slap on a better hyperdrive and you'd be good to go! Definitely one of my personal top contenders.
Flarestar is a good ship that could be easily converted to bounty hunting needs, but it requires a crew of 3 to operate at full efficiency, so it's a good vessel for a small team of bounty hunters.
6:55 could be a new trend among bounty hunters. Turning over completed bounties via kinetic strike, especially useful if you don’t like the person you took the bounty for
Hear me out, the LA-AT with EXTENSIVE modification would be a good pick. Large open hangar space, heavily armed, reliable, can even store speeders and walkers.
The main drawbacks are the disconnected twin cockpits and lack of hyperdrive, but that doesnt seem like it would be too hard to fix.
I always felt that the Razorcrest was like the Civilian LA-AT. Kinda like a H2 to the classic Military Hummer.
They took a lot of it's form and function and changed it for normal people. The Wookie Gunship would also fit into the category.
Yeah, I like this idea. The LA-AT was also always my favorite ship in star wars.
@@joshuastrickland5264 yeah why isn’t this on the list
that can be interesting, the second cockpit can be modified for a droid so it can be easier the fly and have all the guns operative (the turrets and more i mean), plenty of space inside for a cell or a compact speeder
even the at te carrier can be modified for say jettison the bounty , for trully heavy transport as some rancor( for sure) and keep many of the features
The republic shuttle from the clone wars is an even better choice, larger troop (prisoner) bay and pilot lifts for centralised access
Now that Mando has a custom hotrod starfighter, he needs a sm. - med. Transport or freighter, with at least one docking bay, no crew (he will need a copilot), off grid, customizable and upgradable.. like The Mynock, Ghost, Houndstooth... So... we need a list
Indeed, get to work on that list! Peli Moto for copilot/babysitter!!
I would have liked to seen the VT-49 Decimator on this list. A heavily armored imperial transport with an intimidating profile with enough space to pick up multiple bounties and also provide enough living space for you and your crew
yes, it look badass.
Probably not many bounty hunters would be able to afford something like that, and not many of them to be stolen either.
Add the AEG-77 Vigo gunship to that list.
@@saxybison also considering it's a imperial ship it will draw in the ire of the empire if it was obtained through less favorable means
@@Spartan3D213 at this point in time, the empire has fallen and would probably be easier to obtain, and still probably just on the black market
What about an Arc-170? You can transform one of the cockpits into a cell, preferably the middle one. It's sturdy, reliable, has a lot of endurance.
Can also modify the rear gun turret to be automated or controlled by an astromech if you got one.
All comes down to being able to score one. Even if you could get it, it would likely have been stripped of it's weapons. Re-fitting it would be tough but worth while. It is a cool looking ship.
One issue I have with Ex-Military vessels is they are known as such and wouldn't offer much in the way of cover. You land in a Space port, even with a stripped one, people are going to assume you mean business. That's one of the Reasons I liked the Razorcrest, it was sort of like the Modern Hummer, it Looked like something based off a Military vessel but wasn't a sore thumb.. Granted modern hummers are VERY much a sore thumb.
@@Armoless that's why I'd probably have mine be a mostly hollow ship containing the actual ship, probably an a wing because who the fuck would expect this bullshit? You blasted its engines and it responded by shooting out a smaller, faster and deadlier ship that actually looks like it was welded together rather than glued.
At least someone likes my enthusiastic bullshit.
The ARC-170 Wouldn't be a bad idea...you could add on cargo clamps for Carbonite frozen bounties
From the Legends continuity, Sienar Fleet Systems Skipray Blastboat was almost tailor made for bounty hunting. Fast, durable, room for living quarters and small cells, and armed with capital scale ion cannons.
yeah thats pretty spot on size wise. only issue are those back fins which could be shorter so as not block line of sight with the top turret
@@braydoxastora5584 That's the thing about the Skipray. The fins rotate. Just turn them 90 degrees when you need to fire the turret backward.
I always thought the Lambda class shuttle could be a good ride for a hunter.big enough for cells and crew rooms. Armed and armored, and since it was sold to civilians as well and the empire, would be ubiquitous enough to not grab to much unwanted attention.
Not to mention, it generally looks badass as hell
I suppose a Corellian YT 1300F or other such modified light freighter would be a solid choice. Versatile, adequate space, and won’t attract unwanted attention.
You could say anything in the YT line would work, they are all easily modifiable and have a decent amount of habitable space. Probably why they are so popular with pirates and smugglers.
@@DeathBYDesign666 yup. But I might go with the passenger variant, to have nicer living quarters, and convert one bunk room to a cell for the prisoners. And maybe a hold for speeder bikes.
I'm super late, But I'm surprised no one I've seen has mentioned the YV-929 yet. It's an out-of-the-box armed freighter made by Corellian Engineering Corporation (You know, the same people who made the Millennium Falcon?!), so it is HIGHLY customizable! Plus, it had higher cargo capacity than the M.F at 150 metric tons.
The only downside is that due to it's sheer AWESOMENESS, the empire basically had a major hate boner for the ship, but if you're in the outer rim, or doing business after the empire's fall, this ship is a god among mortals.
spot on its even shorter then the skip ray and its buky enough that you could alter it to store a small fighter of N1 size
Personally I’ve always loved the U wing design (except when the s foil extends) so I’m glad to see it on this list
Yeah the s foils extending are the only thing I'm not too hot on
My choice would probably be a Lambda Class Shuttle, would be easier to get my hands on one and parts than a TIE Reaper, already armed to the teeth with more room for more and a class 1 hyperdrive already good to go.
Massively underrated ship for armament but think its not super manouverable. One of my all time faves though.
@@thepurpleapple yeah, maneuverability is a bit iffy, but the shields and arms already on the base model are pretty good, and there is still a lot of space for improvements.
I feel like the U-Wing would make for an awesome camper can starship. Like, the inside could be made into a similar layout to an rv, with one side only having a door opening and the rest of the interior redesigned into a living space, kitchen, even a shower.
I like the TIE Reaper and HWK 290
Ive always loved the idea of a rag tag crew of space pirates flying around post clone wars in a custom painted munificent class freighter
KT-400 Military Droid Carrier from the Old Republic or the Nu Class Attack Shuttle from the Clone Wars era, the later of which would have a similar availability of actual ships and parts as the Y-Wing
The droid carrier could be handy to bring in droids for extra help. Maybe with some modifications you can have it store multiple bounties. Long as you don't care about the passenger's comfort
@@dannybeane2069 no more uncomfortable than the Razorcrest or Slave-1 I imagine
There is also the Death Raven, technically an "Uglies" ship but still damn powerful. Basically was 2 B-wings connected by a main cockpit.
No place a target can hide when you got 40 proton torpedos available. Just hope your client is ok with dead; as oppose to alive.
A YT 1300, so many of them out there that they don't get a second look, easily modified inside so you can have some cells separate from crew areas, and some cargo space.
I would not pick any of these.. I would go with:
• the Rogue Shadow
• The Basilisk, it appeared on the Dxun in the Mandalorian hidden fort, they had these assault ships that fall like meteors from KOTOR 2(later on someone made up a Droid and it made everything convoluted, but take a look at the game if you wish to see what I'm talking about)
• Scimitar
• Raider II-class Corvette
It's got to be Darth maul's scimitar any day for me. The ship was so awesome that it was even used by palpatine after Mall's death/disappearance in phantom menace.
I'm seeing some mentions of the Lambda-class shuttle as a good ship, but it's older brother, the Rho-class Transport Shuttle is a bit of a hidden gem. It's pretty heavily armed with 6 laser cannons and it's capable of carrying various cargo or passenger pods on its underside, while still maintaining a crew section, allowing for plenty of space for both amenities, cargo, and bounties. Also, because the Lambda-class shuttles were based off of the Rho-class's predecessor, the Nu-class, finding or adapting parts should be very easy.
The AIAT at the end reminds me a lot of the Bebop. I guess a starship designed for aerodynamic water landings and full of bounty hunters would do that.
For me, I'd want a small crew of trusty lads and lasses (having someone to watch your back when tracking down bounties is a huge help), and look for a Gozanti. It's kind of ho-hum to look at, but with the right mods and upgrades... Well, there's a reason why they're still flying despite being older than most of the crew's grandparents. Being able to dock and carry smaller ships is something most of the ships on this list can't do, and gives our outfit a lot of flexibility. Going with a ship that can function as a carrier or mothership means I don't have to choose between either a Y-Wing _or_ a U-Wing. We could grab one of each.
It also gives us plenty of space, and that's important for a bounty hunter. Not just for the needs of basic living facilities, specialty gear storage, and holding spaces for bounties, but you'll be spending a lot of time on board. Having room to do maintenance, research dirt on targets (and clients!), plan operations, patch up cuts and burns, or even just stretch out and maybe exercise a bit between ground ops is important.
HAYYOOOO! Gozanti for the win. Sure, you have to have a crew of about 10 people, and BH are usually loners, but a team like that could be an Ocean's type of thing, but permanent. Has room for aircars and whatnot as well. Plus four fighter ports on the bottom. It could be a small, but disastrous ship combat at a moments notice. It's why the Empire used them for system patrols against pirates and whatnot. In the hands of a compitent team of BHs, it could really put a dent in low to mid level gangs. I ALSO vote Gozanti for a BH platform that missed the cut.
@@huoshewu mechs and droids could knock it down to a three musketeers type deal.
@@plaidjunky I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but bounty hunters are usually 'loners'. Assuming they are any good, the writers can kind of Firefly up the crew to each be a full character and have a full personality. It CAN be done, but I fear that it would be "The Hero", "The Sidekick" and The Love Interest", and then like 7 others in the background who get a single episode in season 3.
Oh yeah, a Gozanti would do nicely for a Bounty Hunter ship. If you go for the C-ROC variant you get hidden weapons! Very useful when trying to appear harmless as you pass by nosey security forces, but when it comes to a blaster fight the C-ROC can hold its own. (And that's before any upgrades to the weapons or shields.)
I think the primary issue, would be the running cost of the ship. A bigger ship is just more expensive to maintain. You'd be constantly on the run, trying to catch the highest paying bounties, just to remain in the black.
Either the YT-1300 or the YT-2400 light freighter. Easily modifiable vessels that can be bristled with weaponry for bounty hunting missions of all sorts. There may be room enough to install a cloaking device similar to Darth Maul's Scimitar if the modifier so wishes.
This is GenTech's subtle way of suggesting what Din's new ship in Season 2 could/should be
I always loved the Skipray Blastboat for some reason and It would be my go to for Bounty Hunting.
CSS-1 Corellian Star Shuttle. My current Bounty Hunter character uses one of these vessels because its quite the tank out of the box.
Powerful shields, heavy armor, and ample internal volume. He’s converted the rear third of the hull into a makeshift vehicle hanger, and installed a carbonite freezing facility, storage bay for frozen bounties, targeting range, gym, armory and workshop, and much more.
A Star Wars Pimp my Ride would be an awesome show.
8: Ghost, it has a great amount of guns, has torpedoes, a hyper drive, a cargo holding cell that could be modified into a jail cell, a decent amount of armor, around as fast as the Millennium Falcon, and is great for dogfights. I also think it was inspired by the real life bomber planes used in ww2.
What about a toilet 'n microwave? Sci-Fi essentials man!
@@Mannwhich I'm sure there's a bathroom somewhere, same goes for the Falcon
@@ChristianHernandez-yt Haha! 😅
A Zeta class cargo shuttle would be good pick. decent armaments, and shields. also room to hold a speeder as well.
I'm surprised that more mando ships didn't make it, but I guess they are more fighters than anything else
A lot of their ships have too much S-foil to my eye
Allen, could you please cover the Legends Thrawn Campaign? Especially since there’s a lot of content from the Thrawn Campaign that’s become canon recently such as Mount Tantiss, Wayland/Weyland, Captain Pelleon, etc.
I'll second this, please.
I’ll third it
I would chose the Corellian VCX-100 light freighter (Ghost). This would make fantastic bounty hunter spacecraft.
The best bounty hunting ship would be a generic light freighter that go anywhere without arousing suspicion, that has been fitted with upgraded engines and copious concealed weapons.
I'd have to say I would prefer the Reaper... the clout you would get from having one, however you got it, would be enough to start you out good.
Along with the amount of incoming fire you would see from any Imperial forces when they see you and decide that you have stolen one of their vehicles.
@@jameslewis2635 Beat me to it. During the Imperial Era having a Reaper would paint a target on your back from the Imps
I would love to see a Reaper get the Alliance rework like they did with the Raider II-class in Battlefront 2.
@@GP.Records I agree. However, you might be able to get around that by helping them as well
Watch Din swipe a Reaper that's chilling in the hangar of Gideon's frigate.
I love how he makes his videos and talks as if we were actually in the Star Wars universe
The ILH-KK Citadel-class Civilian Cruiser was somewhat outmoded by the time of the Galactic Civil War but would still make a good Bounty Hunting Vessel with the right modifications. It has room, hauling capacity and some basic teeth straight off the line. With the right mods, it could be amazing.
ILH-KK Citadel class civilian cruiser could carry a pair of starfighters, be crewed by 2-3 people, Was heavily armored. Would make a sweet base of operations for a small bounty hunting crew
I was thinking about u wing too its big can run for months And was pretty fast they I remembered arc-170 was a flagship buster even had a aa gun
But nothing is more cool then thouse rebel Mando transports they are slick
That was actually my first thought after seeing the U-Wing. I would upgrade the hyperdrive, shield generator and drop an illegal jamming system in it. Also I'd replace the bottom half of the cockpit with a proton torpedo launcher from the Y-wing.
Hahaha laughed my ass of at the Toyota introduction 😂
You received a well deserved like! Awesome video as well!!
Hey Gen Tech could you guys make a video about the perfect ships for smugglers?
A venator class could be used as a bounty drop point for a hunting organization
Example: the side hangers are for the individual hunters and put cells in the central hangar and let the prisoners know if they get to rowdy you can open the armored dorsal door
> "The little known Hawk 290 light freighter."
Sometimes I forget people didn't grow up with those games.
Man, I have loved the U-Wing ever since its first appearance. It is my top choice for ship if I suddenly found myself a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
Since it's introduction I've loved the u-wing so I would pick that, it's like the perfect size for a single person to live comfortably, for me anyway.
More of this kind of tech breakdown! This was awesome. Before this, I never would have considered something like a "bomber" as a bounty hunter craft. Hell, I now see the antiquated and slow TIE/sa Bomber as a potential craft to "frankenstein" into a hunting craft. Add a hyperdrive, upgrade the engines, and covert the bomb bay to a holding cell. They're cheap as used items, and likely have parts scattered everywhere. I can even see one of the "panel wings" being replaced by an entirely different configuration due to some sort of "part unavailability at the time". Ex-Trooper-turned-hunter sorta thing.
the bomber is a terrible choice. although i suppose its not as bad as the N1 star fighter. just not suited for the demands of the profession at all. and remember the title of this video perfect ships for a bounty hunter not bargain bin got no others options kind of deal
I think the YT-1930 could be used for a bounty hunter because it is a cargo ship and not everybody will think a cargo ship with bounty hunting
You know what isn't good...a Naboo Starfighter. lol.
I like the U-Wing, but the Hawk holds a special place in my heart, its just too small for me to use as a mobile home.
One that'd make for a really good bounty hunter ship right out of the box is the Sentinel-class landing craft. It's like a Lambda-class but but bigger and more shielded. The downside is it lacks the Lamda's rear-facing laser cannon. The upside is that its forward firepower is quite good, with 8 laser cannons, 2 concussion missile launchers, and a retractable ion cannon turret. An ion cannon is always really nice for bounty hunting, because if your mark is fleeing in a ship you can disable it with no risk of vaporizing them in the process. And that big troop compartment gives you plenty of room to convert into both sleeping quarters for yourself and holding cells for your prisoners. The only downside is that to use it at full efficiency, you'll need at least one gunner for that ion cannon turret. So unless you've got a partner you can actually trust (a bit of a rarity in the bounty hunting business), you probably need to buy a droid for that role. (Or a pilot droid to fly the ship while you're operating the turret.)
The VT-49 Decimator Gunship has the speed, power and durability to take on the impossible odds the Mando seems to find himself in.
The AIAT was Jango Fett's original ship before he got the Slave 1.
This is so dope what you did and I would definitely role with the U-wing, if I were a bounty hunter.
I think there is an excellent parallel between SW bounty hunting ship choices and the vehicles used during Prohibition by moonshiners and rum runners. Moonshiners used regular cars modified to carry cargo without attracting attention unless you opened the hood. Rum runners off the east coast were similar, using surplus Liberty aircraft engines from WW1 easily outrunning US Coast Guard vessels. There was a shipbuilder in Rhode Island that built the rum runner ships after hours that eventually was approached by the USCG to build ships to chase down the rum runners. Great video fleshing out the world of galactic Bounty Hunters.
I think any of the smaller YT series like the YT-1000, YT-1200, YT-1210(company Mod 1200), YT-1250, YT-1760, YT-1730, & YT-2500. All are very fast and maneuverable, with multiple hard points for more weapons. Stock models often comes with one defense turrent, but mainly their are ordered and sold customized by the customer. The crew ranging anywhere from 1 to 3 they can still be operated by one. The 2 or more cargo Bays can easily be converted to small holding cells, are Carbonite slab holders. Note: the YT-1760 speed and maneuverability is one of the best of the series yet the shields are weak, sacrificing small bit of cargo space for stronger Shields is best. Dropping from 10 Metric tons to 9.5 Metric tons.
YV-929 armed freighter is perfect. Minimum crew of 1, armed to the teeth and has a large enough cargo bay for prisoners/captured bounties.
I think the U-Wing is the best option here. It would work great for this role.
There's two sizes of that HWK290 now. The bigger one probably better for Bounty Hunting.
U-Wing is a great choice for balancing fighter like action with a modicum of comfort (though you'd need to keep your captive unconscious for any kind of peace!). Also, you Wouldn't catch me flying around in some star fighter for days crapping into a bag so that U Wing better have a pull out refresher!
A lot of people are saying the Sith Infiltrator but apart from there only being one of those around and it belonging to Palpy it would be a nightmare once it started breaking down due to all the bespoke bits.
Think my ideal bounty Hunter ship would be a YT2400, smaller than a YT1300 or a VCX100 with a good gunship profile and great speed.
Actually if I remember right the Sith Infiltrator Scimitar is actually a heavily modified Star Courier Class ship that are actually heavily customizable ships provided by Republic Sienar Systems. So they could be used as a good Bounty Hunter Ship.
@@robertdrexel2043 just looked it up, quite right, it would take quite a bit of effort to get it near to the scimitars specs, it's a rich persons ship so it would probably be expensive to repair and can't imagine a bounty hunter would be able to replicate that cloaking device but apart from that, absolutely that's an excellent bounty hunter ship.
@@thepurpleapple Yeah. Someone else mentioned that below. Still would be an interesting Bounty Hunter ship just not partial price-wise.
@@robertdrexel2043 if the bounty Hunter could steal one then that might take the sting out of it haha.
The ARC-170 was a precursor to the X-Wing, and I feel like it could make a great bounty hunting ship. Much like the Y-Wing, most ARC-170s we’re sent to junk yards after the Empire emerged. The ship had room for a pilot, co-pilot, gunner, and an astro-mech. The co-pilot and/or gunner space could be converted into a prison cell for bounties.
I use a heavily modified SF-17 bomber. It’s got guns all over and different floors for different set ups. Plus the top section can detach from the bottom section giving me lots of options when entering new plants/getting away in fights
For me it would be the 'Guardian Mantis' from Starfighter.
LAAT or Arc-170 would definitely fit the bill. The Arc Had slots for an Astromech, rear gunner and 3rd crew.
The Gamma class ATR-6 and the Delta class DX-9 would make excellent bounty hunter vessels, and while both are military in nature, with the crumbling of the Empire and the Republic not going to go as heavy on weaponry any longer, they are bound to be out there in great numbers. Especially the DX-9, as it was already heavily used by pirates and mercenary groups.
I would choose the Gamma ATR-6.
I know it was technically done before by Asajj Ventress, but I feel like the Lancer-class Pursuit Craft would make an excellent (if expensive) platform for a bounty hunter ship. The Pursuer-class Enforcement Ship is also a solid option.
I would probably go for an imperial raider. Tons of space and plenty of guns
Would also cost an absolute fortune to run. You'd need to diversify into a few other areas.
Well the best Y-wing variant for bounty hunting would be the Long Probe which was fitted for extended range missions, had a massively improved sensor suite, and had the accommodations for a crew of four but could probably be easily modified to be solely operated by a single being.
Anal?
@@DMSProduktions Lana?
@@eyesofstatic9641 She might like it!
I see the joke was NOT lost on you! ;o)
Nice video! :D
I'd love an YT-2000.
It's similar to an YT-2400 but it's more symmetrical.
Such a good video idea good job, keeping us Star Wars fans hungry for more
the police transport would make an incredible bounty hunting ship for a 2 man crew with the troop bay being converted into a tiny sleeping quarters with a small 1 or 2 person holding cell, the crews primary bounty focus would be either bail jumpers or court dodgers (basically petty criminals that nobody else wants to deal with) it would be a semi safe bounty that would work for the small 2 man crew to gain experience, honestly thinking about all this now, i kinda wanna make a mock up, repaint the ship in a light white with either red or orange accents (orange being one of my favorite colors for accents)
I would certainly get my hands on a Lancer pursuit craft and modify it especially the gun turret 😊
Love the U-Wing.
Hey just recently discovered your channel and have now subscribed and started binge watching. Great content, really in depth knowledge with a true passion for the content, I respect your perspective on all the controversies that have happened with Disney and appreciate your respect for the Star Wars lore in general!! The Disney sequel trilogy and the Solo movie has severely dented my enjoyment of Star Wars In general but it is so enjoyable and refreshing to see a channel like this producing such cool content, keep up the great work👍
My ship of choice would have to be the "Flying Brick" YV-929 Armed Freighter.
I'd have a bounty hunter crew instead of running solo so I'd need something good, something that can take a beating and still have more than enough firepower to come out on top every time. Ample enough storage space for weapons, gear, food and medical supplies, with comfortable crew quarters and more than enough room for multiple bounties. And if bounties are slim picking the ship could still haul freight or valuable/expensive cargo on the side.
This list is really useful. Now I know where to start looking for my own fist ship. Thanks
thank you for the quality OC
Generation tech: 7 best ships for bounty hunters
Disney: let's give Mando an N1.
The HWK - 290 really takes the cake imo, you can modify it to your style, it has room for bounties and or living quarters, it looks menacing and just a solid ship
The lambda shuttle is also a pretty good choice, similarly to the police gunship it has some authority right off the bat.
the hawk 290 is more famously known as The Moldy Crow, and used by both Jan Orrs and Kyle Katarn
For a group of bounty hunters the c-70 charger would probably do alright. There’s enough of them around for parts, there pretty fast and with the help of some droids manning the guns would have a incredible amount of firepower.
Always thought the Moldy Crow was an awesome looking ship, but always wondered how Jan/Kyle saw where they were going. I didn't know about the holo-goggles, which don't seem quite so fantasy anymore considering the F-35 uses something similar.
Pretty cool list, I'm glad you took the time to find original picks instead of just retreading old ground with previous established bounty hunting vessels.
i love how he talks to us like hes actualy a ship sailsman
From years of playing the various games (pen and paper, pc, etc) the ships I tended to think of for bounty hunters were actually the basic light freighters modified just enough to get the job done for most tasks. It wasn't till long into the careers you need something like Slave I or the like with tons of features and armaments. You'd basically work like a smugger, blend in so they don't notice you.
Never player "The Old Republic", but I'm planning to one day and my first two classes will be Bounty Hunter and *Smuggler.*
Cause as far as I'm concerned, they're the same damn thing. Only difference is one happens to be hired by the good guys, the other by the bad guys.
What about the Skipray Blastboat line, the aggressor starfighter, the Scimitar, and the Jade Shadow?
I'd do with a G9 Rigger-class freighter like the Twilight. Install a class 1 hyperdrive, modify the aft hanger to include a detention compartment, and maybe a military grade sensors package.
I think the Mandalorian gauntlet starfighter is a beautiful example of a gunship that also has some pretty good air to air capabilities and would be more than easy to live out of
Hey great job on the video. Only recommendation I have is make it a Top-20-Bounty-Hunter Ship List. I think a lot more of the starwars rebels ships were great bounty-hunter ships, namely the Ghost. But there were a few other models produced by the manufacturer of the Millennium Falcon that would also make great additions to your list.
I personally like the M22-T Gunship, it's sleek design makes it look really aggressive, and it has really good atmospheric speeds for such a big ship.
I'm surprised not one person mentioned the KR-TB "Doomtreader" these things were BEAST!
My Hunter in the Edge of The Galaxy tabletop game snagged himself a HWK-1000, and used the Hard Points to give it a re-enforced Battering Ram on the "beak", and Walker Legs on the back, so it could anchor onto heavier ships, and ram it's way in. Good times.
The amphibious ship is totally the Sea Duck from Talespin.
COOL VIDEO ! MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE !
the flarestar class attack shuttle. seems expensive but carries 10 passengers, crews 3 or 1 minimum and has decent weapons and shields. and with 20 tons of cargo space you could do some serious upgrades to the shields or weapons. Or if you can steal one and get rid of the tracking and markers on it I think it would a perfect bounty hunter ship.
