Fun fact: The E-wing's 3rd gun folds with the cockpit so the pilot can enter/leave, it can disconect from the ""back part"" that's conected to the hull, and the ""front part"" is conected to the cockpit It also doesn't make sense to have a 3rd engine in the middle of the ship because that's where the droid and other stuff are
No, the entire thing is connected to the canopy. Behind the Pilot there is an entire extra panel on the back of the canopy that extends behind the Cannon. The whole thing moves with the Canopy. with the cabling being flexible
❤ loving it all about videos of the whole basically lined up as a fleet if u clock , miss a few classes brilliant I'm from Manchester, but now I am allocated Toxtoth, in Liverpool 🫠 but thanx n have definitely liked and subscribed to your channel even though been watching u loads😱
I just wanna say I love these 2 hour mixes. I love the Outer Rim Lore one as well. I do a lot of work on my laptop, both professional and personal, and its so perfect to just set one of these up in the background and cruise. Please keep these coming. Thank you!
Got to say eck I've been a long time viewer of the channel and I do like the more long-form content, part of why I really enjoy tapcaf, honestly when you did that like hour long Legends history breakdown that was a really great and I think you have a lot of fans that are would appreciate more content of this style
I always wish they would have used it more and maybe had an astromech take over the co-pilot role or something. Or maybe do like they did with y wings and not have a rear Gunner. Because it makes sense as an intermediate between when they got x-wings and when they didn't have x-wings. And I just love the look.
Thank you very much, I was hoping you would put out another one of these very soon and I'm very pleased to see that you did. I love putting these on my UA-cam on my TV and watching them at night as I lay down. Awesomeness and I can't wait to watch this tonight
Toy Mechanics aren't exactly Canon. After all, I had a Death Star Playset as a Kid that opened up and became a Hanger in the Mighty Max style with miniature toys that were immediately lost.
The ARC 170 probably fell out of favor because it was built for fleet scouting. It's in the name, Aggressive Reconnaissance. It was sent out in squadrons from a fleet to probe areas they expected an enemy fleet to be operating from, and if found would be able to attack targets of opportunity and disrupt its operations while surviving attacks from escort fighters until the rest of the fleet jumped in for a major fleet action. It's visually based on a several different heavy fighters/light bombers from WW2, who had similar recon/strike mission profiles of 'go out and see what's out there, and kill it if you can. If you can't, call it in so we can kill it' . Especially in the Pacific theater with planes like the Black Widow night fighters. Not like the standard recon planes which were usually unarmed, who went out to find the enemy and report back, and not fight.
Wow eck been while since I’ve darkened the door of your channel. Glad I have as I now have a whole new appreciation for the E-Wing and a custom Lego build must be added to my collection! Certainly wouldn’t mind another compilation like this in the future made the house work tolerable 😂
Love the content! I hope the issue with the copyright troll is fixed now. So sorry for the lots of hassle you have to go through. Keep up the good work!
This is great, i just started X4 with the interworlds mod and im trying to catch up on all the starwars ship lore. I hope you have tried that it is so good.
One thing that would be very cool to see on large Star Wars ships like dreadnoughts is large long barreled turbo laser or ion cannons. Giving off an even more naval battleship aesthetic. The main most powerful cannons on the ship. Kind of like a super laser but like that fan made cannon ship, meant for stations and large ships. They could even fire projectiles.
I also like Mom Calamari Cruisers, especially the Viscount. Eclipse could destroy probably all other Fan Made Battleships, and probably even the Death Star, the SSD, and even the Supremacy!
I think this perfectly shows one of the weaknesses of Disney-Wars. There are so many cool star wars ships, but the new ships are just another X-Wing, Tie-Fighter and Star Destroyer.
I love these huge videos. It gives me inspiration to make my own ship for a Star Wars campaign. I'm dubbing it the "star explorer." A star destroyer but shrunk down to the size of light freighter. Made by CEC and also drawing inspiration from the VCX-100.
The New Republic should’ve used the E-Wing Escort Starfighter in the Sequel Trilogy. In the Original Trilogy, if the Empire simply kept and updated the Venator-Class Star Destroyer, how powerful do y’all think that ship would’ve been against the Rebel Alliance?
wel with the venator it would depend on what kind of fighters support it would have in its hanger. if its simply ties then it had no chance but would it be tiedefenders who knows
Someday… would love to walk the hall ways of ships. Take virtual tour of all of the ships. For single pilot or small ships cockpit walk throughs. Someday…
1:39:28 Didn't Uglies also appear in Freemaker adventures? I don't think that series is canon (Most Lego Star Wars stuff isn't) but I think they definitely had some ships like that in the series
Masers, btw are described as having kinteitic energy where lasers do not. They aren't laserlight either. "Blaster" bolts are pockets of controlled plasma (I cannot explain lightsabers other than maybe a magnetically defined plasma beam)
Adolf galland got in a huge argument with herman goering about the me109's unviability as a bomber escort, for the same reason that the A wings dod here in star wars. This detail could show really good attention to detail on the part of the writers of that scene.
I like the mediator model by the fan it looks like an arrowhead with jar jar binks face if jar jar binks had a unicorn horn sticking out his face in the back Parton the model.
For the Tector I personally like the idea that perhaps the Tector was originally designed as a sort of dedicated escort for the Empire's carriers. It wouldn't need the hangar bay if it was *already* escorting a carrier for anti-capital support after all, and might have been designed a bit cheaper than the imperial class since it wouldn't have to be quite as standalone. Additionally if it was escorting a carrier, enemy fighters would be even less of a threat since you'd tend to deploy a carrier behind the front lines of the battle, at least going by IRL logic. Basically a last-resort in case a capital breaks through. Obviously kinda wasteful but so is building 2 space stations that can one-shot an entire planet.
Always saddened the E-wing didn't get properly canonized in the new films. It looks like an X-Wing and a BSG Viper did the fusion dance and would have been awesome to see on-screen finally.
A Canada of the cockpit is ridiculous every time it fires it would reduce your visibility and give you a blind spot for a moment that's absolutely insane and probably build up some kind of carbon or something on the shield!
The one thing about Star Wars that bothers me is the lack of the usage of droids in ship maintenance. If we were building real ships in our universe there would be 10 droids to 1 human for a variety of reasons. It's strange that Star Wars doesn't utilize that approach.
Zero ships will be broke down in this. And no stars will fight.
We’ve been lied to
Yo, great seeing you here.
so he fired an ion cannon at em?
@@twojacksandanace3847 Eck is the best Star Wars UA-camr. This is the place to be!
Bet
I saw this and did not think twice. Please give us more of this content.
I know right?
I literally just saw the title, the time, and the channel and said "YEAH BOI LETS GO"
Really appreciate this stuff
Ditto, these are great. It’s amazing how far you’ve come Eck

I love hearing the intro music so much more now. I have an appreciation for it, because of the awesome battle you had with the dark side theives.
All of those Fan Made Battleships and Dreadnoughts are Fantastic!

Love that you cut out the ad rolls and in/outros. Not a lot of UA-camrs do that for their big compilation videos. Excellent work as always Eck!

Dude Eck, thank you for this comp. I really really hope you didn't do any of this editing work on Christmas, it's very smooth and immersive.
Have to head to bed right now! Definitely gonna watch this tomorrow though! Keep up the great work!
Why not both? Best thing is to fall asleep while listening to all the tech details.

I know its not popular, but the ARC-170 is one of my favorite fighters. I love the design of the ship. The TIE fighter is my top pick though.
It's kind of fun when you spot the WW2 plane that the ARC170 is based off of and have that eureka moment.
I always wish they would have used it more and maybe had an astromech take over the co-pilot role or something. Or maybe do like they did with y wings and not have a rear Gunner. Because it makes sense as an intermediate between when they got x-wings and when they didn't have x-wings. And I just love the look.
haven't watched the channel in awhile, but saw this in recommended and had no thoughts before clicking
@ 1:39:20 the tri fighter or "clutch" is essentially a TIE phantom without the cloaking device. Two thumbs up for catching that!!!
Thank you very much, I was hoping you would put out another one of these very soon and I'm very pleased to see that you did. I love putting these on my UA-cam on my TV and watching them at night as I lay down. Awesomeness and I can't wait to watch this tonight
I have a Micro Machines Action Fleet E-Wing from the 90's, the cannon over the canopy swings up with the canopy
Damn good thing. I was wondering how you were supposed to get the canopy open. Now explain how you fire the thing without blinding the pilot.
Toy Mechanics aren't exactly Canon. After all, I had a Death Star Playset as a Kid that opened up and became a Hanger in the Mighty Max style with miniature toys that were immediately lost.
Best Christmas present
Thank you so much for this long video, its amazing content and you deserve so much more exposure, keep up the amazing work !!!
The ships are my favorite part about StarWars, I could listen to this all day
YO, HE DID IT! I love ship breakdowns the most 😄
This was great to listen to while playing crusader kings. An odd combo to be sure but a welcome one
Always love really long vids. Thanks Eck Happy New Year.
You know your audience really well, love this type of SW content
A two hour video. Perfect for grinding at work
You're a good dude. You got me interested in Star Wars lore again after so much BS. Thank you for that.
Got a long 18 hour drive back home and this is going to help get me through it from one of the greatest on UA-cam! Thank you and Happy New Year!
Finally I can sleep peacefully without waking up to the intros-outros between. Thanks!

These hour long videos have been my favorite thing you've done recently
me: it’s 10:30pm i have work at 3am
youtube: 2 hours of starwars ships
me: ight..
Did you ever make it to work or did you get fired because of 2 hours of star wars ships?
Who starts work at 3am?
Thanks for the compilations, enjoy your vacation
Wow eck been while since I’ve darkened the door of your channel. Glad I have as I now have a whole new appreciation for the E-Wing and a custom Lego build must be added to my collection! Certainly wouldn’t mind another compilation like this in the future made the house work tolerable 😂
Now this, is content. Thank you Eck.
Another 2 Hour Video from Star Wars and favorite to myself because it's all the Star Wars Starships. 🤩🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Appreciate you, you're keeping me awake at work
Thank you ecks!!!
I love your ship breakdowns and this made my day!!!
I love this! You should include the c70 corvette retrofit
Thanks for this video it really expanded my knowledge on Star Wars ships
I saw this an my eyes exploded in happiness. Love the videos keep em coming.
Love the content! I hope the issue with the copyright troll is fixed now. So sorry for the lots of hassle you have to go through. Keep up the good work!
hour+ long videos are my most rewatched videos on this channel
You are truly one of the best UA-camrs out there right now a true homie happy holidays!
This is great, i just started X4 with the interworlds mod and im trying to catch up on all the starwars ship lore.
I hope you have tried that it is so good.
Good to see the intro music is back
hell yeah brother, this is gonna be great
OOH, THIS IS PERFECT
I'm working on my own science fiction story and I really need some good ideas for ships, thank you :)
I really like the look of the evening. It kind of reminds me of a No Man's sky ship that I found a while back

Legends live on! Love this a lot

sorry babe not tonight youtuber posted a 2 hour video explaining star wars ships
Ahh she will get over it
And a happy new year
Thank you Ecks!
Saw this and stopped my other video. 2 hours worth of awesome!
This is the fastest I’ve ever clicked on a video
Y r the ships breaking down every two hours tho? That doesnt sound like something id wanna take into space
No, it's worse than that, the ships are breaking down constantly, this is just two hours of those breakdowns to show just how unreliable they are.
I love these huge videos. It gives me inspiration to make my own ship for a Star Wars campaign. I'm dubbing it the "star explorer." A star destroyer but shrunk down to the size of light freighter. Made by CEC and also drawing inspiration from the VCX-100.
Love your videos. I kinda wants to see your vs videos again. Does not have to be just star wars
19:58 "Expect unfair trade sanctions if you don't stop your attack" 😂
Thanks. Happy time off
My favorite kind of ASMR.
eckharts got me into legends, cause of him i started reading legacy of the force, and have now begun reading NJO and fate of the jedi
Ahhh, I miss these videos dearly. ^^
I have always thought what would an E-Wing/X-Wing Hybrid/Ugly fighter look like and probably perform like?
That would just be an x wing with the s foils welded together
Or a fat x-wing
Thanks for making this
Are these videos partly because of the copyright claims hitting older vids? Not complaining at all, simply wondering, great work as always
Thanks ecks! Love these videos
*keep using the music!!*

wel with the venator it would depend on what kind of fighters support it would have in its hanger. if its simply ties then it had no chance but would it be tiedefenders who knows
@@rzdelta1882 I would have the Imperial Venator have a complement of multiple TIE variants
@@macwelch8599 true but stil most tie versions are counterd already bye xwings and the support ships of the rebels that are mainly anti fighter ships
The rebels did use ARC-170'S, one was used by rebel operatives to escape dathomir in 1.5aby (starwars galaxies)
Ah yes, just the video I need
damn i wonder how long this videos gonna be
Heck yeah!
I think the missing ships were used in the Empire, like in the Seige and Defence of Corcusant, and after the Fall of the Second Death Star.
thanks, this makes the world of tanks grind easier to bear
Someday… would love to walk the hall ways of ships. Take virtual tour of all of the ships. For single pilot or small ships cockpit walk throughs. Someday…

The E wing fighter reminds me of the Stealth fighter "Laura" from Battlestar
Excellent!!

And then here I was playing some vampire surviver and listening to starwars lore
i hope you cover the A wing in more detail i love that ship
I love this
Yea, I dont have anything to do this evening
I know what I'm watching to bed tonight
A Canada of the cockpit is ridiculous every time it fires it would reduce your visibility and give you a blind spot for a moment that's absolutely insane and probably build up some kind of carbon or something on the shield!
I wasn't aware of the E-wing. How does the canopy open? Up and it looks like it could hit the cannon above. Does it slide forward?
It moves with the canopy
The one thing about Star Wars that bothers me is the lack of the usage of droids in ship maintenance. If we were building real ships in our universe there would be 10 droids to 1 human for a variety of reasons. It's strange that Star Wars doesn't utilize that approach.
