I only just noticed that the Gozanti-class cruiser was carrying a AT-MPs at the 3:40 point, instead of AT-STs as said, though I'm sure both are usable, for it to carry 4 AT-STs, or 4 AT-MPs, beside the 2 AT-ATs or 4 TIE fighters. I've come up with, in my opinion, A perfect system patrol group using only Gozanti-class cruisers would be a squadron of Gozanti-class cruisers: 3 Gozanti's with TIE fighters, 2 Gozanti's with AT-STs/AT-MPs, or 1/each, & 1 Gozanti with AT-ATs. A Fire-class Carrier with its 50 TIEs would be far better, working alongside the Gozanti's, to mix up the Aerial/space superiority with Ground-attack/patrol duties.
The Empire really shot themselves in the foot retiring the Acclamator class from the Clone Wars, small but packing good firepower, shields, armor and troop capacity which could probably be swapped out for additional hanger space. Combine that with their stupid fast hyperdrive and you have an effective mainline ship for patrol while you can use the heavier Imperial I and II class in organized battlegroups and defense fleets.
The ISD was a massive mixed bag. On one hand it has a lot of weaponry and is tough. On the other hand it is very vulnerable to fighters and has a lot of weakspots. Thankfully a great ship like me has been the successor of the ISD. I have a less exposed bridge, more fighters, point defence, missile launchers and WAY more weapons. You should be lucky that the First Order uses my kind.
@@lancer737 The ISD 1 has some point defence but in what I call a really dumb 'upgrade' in the ISD 2 they removed the point defence and although the ship got quite a bit stronger, the main way that rebels combated Imperial ships was with starfighters. I also don't think the ISD had homing missile launchers, there might be proton torpedo launchers but no anti Starfighter missile which is what I have. I also have over 8 times the firepower.
@@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser they didn't remove them. We see them use point defenses in SW ep 5 and 6. In Blade Squadron, an Imperial 1 class that was just upgraded to an Imperial 2 class not only was able to fire in a flak mode with its turbos, it fired anti-fighter proton torpedoes at B-Wings.
@@lancer737 I did wish that they were fitted with more anti Starfighter weaponry. They usually were sent alone by themselves to patrol systems. The ISD focused too much on destroying capital ships. Starfighters still gave them a hard time. You no longer have to worry about that. I have more missile launchers. Better and more weaponry, shields, etc.
Victory class, nebulous B and B2, the escort carrier, the strike cruiser and several notable ones were missed. Those are the most common of the missed ships.

Actual size of Imperial Star Destroyer: 1,600 meters Actual Size of Executor Super Star Destroyer: 19,000 meters Miles suck. Otherwise, great video, keep up the good content my man.
Also, the Arquitens-class is likely nearer 200 metres long, scaled to the bridge windows, shuttle, and the ISD it collides with. The Sentinel-class shuttle was scaled down for Rebels, so is not a good yardstick (for the 325 m estimate)
Ah, the Victory-class gets shafted again. Seriously, for a design that, in my opinion, looked a lot better and could have more potential than the Imperial-class for peacekeeping duties if utilized and armed appropriately; they always seem to get relegated to oblivion for no reason. Heck, even as a battleship. I'd take the 80 concussion missile launchers of the VSD-I over an ISD-II any day.

Nice videos guys. One note to add though: Star Destroyers can perform orbital bombardment at high orbit as well. You showed it yourself: the blockade over Atolon was in high, geosynchronous orbit (I advise you to look up how high it is on Earth for comparison 😉).
I remember an interesting story regarding an Executor class Star Dreadnaught. It involved one that was incredibly poorly maintained. I don't know the exact context. Maybe it was some post Endor confusion and mass dissertion breaking the chain of supply and communication, or maybe it was unrelated internal mutiny. But anyway, the middle and frontal segments of the ship (miles of ship mind you) were seemingly cut off from the bridge and main command. The forward segments seemed to have gangs or some crazy dude calling himself the new emperor of the middle of the ship or something. Now these ships are pretty much entire cities in size so you can imagine the there being enough room for large segments to go derelict and savage under low enough maintenance conditions and mutiny. I don't remember much more about it. It was brought up in another comment and might be from one of the books, Legends category probably. It seems like an interesting setting where a ship is large enough to host a fight between 3 large factions, 1 loyal, the other 2 mutinous.
I would say you missed a couple ships such as the Tartan Patrol Cruiser, Victory-class Star Destroyer, Escort Carrier, and probably some others I can't remember. Though these might be considered True Cano- I mean Legends so I guess that explains why they're not in. Though I did enjoy the video nonetheless.
I wish someone would explain that the Star Destroyers were built for fleet vs fleet combat, rather than individual star destroyers vs rebel fighters. Design wise, the Star Destroyer is an excellent fleet combat ship, but not a well rounded solo ship. Corvettes/Frigates/Fighters were supposed to screen the Star Destroyers, and smaller lasers and turbo lasers to take on fighters. While Star Destroyers were designed to: A) Fire long range with huge amounts of damage, B) Be able to bring all their weapons to bear at the same time, C) Absorb damage from other capital class ships. - The Rebel Alliance was designed to fight the empire, the empire was not able to adapt as quickly because they had an entire empire to defend. - The Empire Did Nothing Wrong!
Generation Tech had a brain fart . Hey it happens I work all the time with the public. Respect for pushing yourself to meet your deadlines , and give what you can thanks.
Considering the two different design philosophies of Imperial ships, with a lot of the smaller captial ships being intelligent cost effective practical designs (except for the Quasar) it is probable that they were developed without the oversight of Tarkin and the other bigwigs who didn't notice or pay attention to the programs, instead the engineers could _just get on with it._ Sort of like how the Cobra was developed without congressional interference. Makes you wonder what they could have come up with if allowed to work on the big name stuff - the large ships and the snub fighters (ok, we know, the _Defender)._ But imagine a ISD designed without political interference, contracted out to the Correlians. It would have decent point defense, a less exposed bridge and shield generators, and no trenches. A good design for the Interdictor would have been to just use the standard ISD and remove all the forward operating base and troop/invasion capacity and stick the gravity wells in the massive space saved. It would look the same externally so it couldn't be specifically targeted - leave a few Tie fighter squadrons onboard so it won't stand out by not launching Ties, and they would still be needed for point defense, but a smaller dedicated hanger to save even more room. And it just makes logistical sense since it uses mostly existing components where possible. Tactically it also gives the suprise factor, _any_ ISD could be a Interdictor. Now that would be a headache.
The new republic in legends did a similar thing to your "intertdicter that looks like star destroyer" idea you mention. They basically built a couple of brand new ship that were basically star destroyers but fitted with slightly different weapons (like longe range turbolasers) and some hidden gravity well projectors. I think they were used during the Yuuzhan Vong war.
Interesting, that you would use a KGV class ship when talking ISDs being like battleships. And that ISDs would be deployed by themselves, considering that HMS Prince of Wales was deployed without any air cover to the Pacific and became the very first fully manned battleship operating in open waters to be sunk by aircraft.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be an Imperial Navy Capital Ship. Sadly I could never fulfill that dream, cause I realized I like Covenant CSO Super Carriers way better.
If you use a sub Fighters hyperdrive to Ram the interdictor at hyperseed wood drop out inside the Shields allowing him to deploy his full arsenal destroying ship
WAIT JUST A MINUTE! Are you saying that the Interdictor relies on the failsafe of the target vessels hyperdrive detecting the gravity well to drop the ship out of hyperspace, rather than the gravity well itself pulling the ship out of hyperspace? If so there is an easy fix that would render the interdictor useless; Bypass the failsafe. Furthermore, such a detection system means it’s a real wonder the empire never had hyperspace tracking.
You did skip the Raider-class Corvette (which, as of EA Battlefront 2, is Canon) and Lancer-class Frigate. Both small ships designed to provide anti-starfighter support.
lm guess. problems: The loading door to luggage area fell off sucking the floor above it out and sometimes the crew as well... 2 the tail fell off on occasion 3 The new style batteries caught fire until thermal disconnect installed and halon compartment fire suppression system. 3 After liftoff a couple early models would crash unable to climb. The second buried itself in the ground at full speed.. Later after many hardware upgrades and software logic programming the ships were actually airworthy.
I noticed that in the nine main movies, you don't see much of the Imperial fleet... and I think this is the reason: Original Trilogy: probably wasn't in the budget. Prequel Trilogy: didn't exist yet. Sequel Trilogy: empire dead, its First Order vs The Resistance/New Republic
Great video but you killed me with the miles to meters comparison for the super star destroyer. '...10 miles which in metric is around 500 meters, give or take 700 litres.' Super Star Destroyers are roughly 19 kilometers in length which is 19,000 meters. Litres are uses to measure liquids :( Other than than, was a good video.
10:40 "A rebel pilot in a snubfighter probably wouldn't even know where to begin a attack run".
Well, if you're in a *A-Wing,* may I suggest you trench run towards the Bridge.

Of course numerous small patrol ships and cruisers makes more sense than relatively few huge gun platforms.

What about the clones and droids
THE DOLPHINS ARE TAKING OVER, THE DOLPHI-..... *Dolphins whistling in the background*
lm guess. problems: The loading door to luggage area fell off sucking the floor above it out and sometimes the crew as well...
2 the tail fell off on occasion
3 The new style batteries caught fire until thermal disconnect installed and halon compartment fire suppression system.
3 After liftoff a couple early models would crash unable to climb. The second buried itself in the ground at full speed.. Later after many hardware upgrades and software logic programming the ships were actually airworthy.
what about the victory class?
I noticed that in the nine main movies, you don't see much of the Imperial fleet... and I think this is the reason: Original Trilogy: probably wasn't in the budget. Prequel Trilogy: didn't exist yet. Sequel Trilogy: empire dead, its First Order vs The Resistance/New Republic
what happen to the carrack, lancer and other type like the imperial cruiser?
Alan’s definitely been kidnapped, obviously his scratching of the ear is our signal to strike!
I dont even have notifications on, yet I always end up here in the 1st 30min
What about the raider corvette?
Great video but you killed me with the miles to meters comparison for the super star destroyer. '...10 miles which in metric is around 500 meters, give or take 700 litres.' Super Star Destroyers are roughly 19 kilometers in length which is 19,000 meters. Litres are uses to measure liquids :( Other than than, was a good video.
TIE, Twin Ion Engine. When did this change?
Shhhhhh... The thunbnail says "GALACTICC EMPIRE"
Me: THICC?
10:20 10 miles is a bit over 16 kilometres, if anyone needed the numbers.
Hey Alan I think you forgot the Victory Class star destroyer
What happened to the victory class star destroyer?
Pretty sure the Allen droid is either glitching out or some punk ass dolphins reprogrammed him
