      the issue with space is it's freaking massive, and you're going in/out of an atmosphere, the result is you ned alooot of supplies and logistics equipment to get anywhere, esp if you're doing something like freight
      even irl, the "ships" we use in space are massive (they're typically 58 meters, aka the size of a super yacht and only slightly smaller than the gozanti) , know what they don't have? extra engines, the ability to haul a bunch of cargo more than to a space station, a bunch of weapons, the need to carry days, weeks or months worth of supplies for the crew, logistics equipment (you DO want navigation in a ship that's going through space no? don't want to veer off and end up months away from the nearest habitable planet)
      spaceships realistically would be massive, you really do need them to be
      it's expensive but also not really an optional part of a multi planet affair
      the main reason our rockets are relatively small is just sheer cost, we don't NEED them to be bigger (like a multi planet shipping or logistics effort would) and 20,000 tons (about equal to a modern freight ship on the ocean) would cost ~$4 trillion to launch..to put that into perspective, the U.S IS 20, China is 14, Japan is 5, and everything else has a total GDP less than the required costs to launch a single ship
      spaceships in an intergalactic setting would be massive, there's not really a need to limit them, but there would also be space docks that act as ports for their respective worlds with smaller ships and other mechanisms to do the last leg of the journey (very likely using newer alloys to make a series of space elevators over each planet, as while we're still not there irl we'd close and it is technically feasable..albeit we don't have it yet)
      but ships themselves? yeah no, those are going to be large by sheer requirement of the job, a 63 meter ship is like building an aircraft carrier the size of a sub, it's neat...and entirely useless

    The Gozanti is actually one of my favourite SW ships; it's not flashy, it's not overpowered, but it can do a lot of different jobs owing to it's reliability, simplicity and general good design. A good half-dozen variants, decades of service, a big middle finger to the Tarkin doctrine, the Gozanti has it all.
    Yes it spends half it's screen time getting shot at and overpowered, yes it's probably the most blatant flying brick in the galaxy but I still love it.

    I love the ship. And I was so glad to see it in the mandalorian. Although It seems that it was another variant with upgraded turrets. Much like the upgraded and upscaled arquitens class (which might be my favorite ship in the entire star wars universe).

    • @dylanwight5764
      @dylanwight5764 3 роки тому +21

      I still think "upscaled" is a stretch of logic for Gideon's ship. We've consistently seen that animated series vessels are apparently smaller than their live action counterparts. This is especially obvious on the bridge of ISDs in Rebels which are notably smaller than what we see in the films. It's simply a stylistic choice that has little bearing over the specified statistics of these vessels. As for hangar space, bear in mind that the relatively dimunitive Raider-II could embark a number of starfighters in internal hangars.
      That being said, the Arquitens is already a massive ship at 325m length and with a large amount of internal space and it's not unreasonable to imagine a modified type that can serve as a smaller planetary assault vessel. We already know this is at least possible given the existence of the Thunderwasp subtype, which in all likelihood was a single vessel serving as the eventual prototype for these post-Imperial era vessels.
      I think Gideon's ship is just a modernized and refitted Arquitens which may or may not have an enlarged bridge structure to better suit his needs of a relatively compact and powerful flagship that wouldn't draw unwanted attention.

  • @tba113
    @tba113 3 роки тому +63

    I know this was alluded to, but as starships go, the Gozanti was cheap as chips, while not actually being a built-on-the-cheap design. For the price of two TIE Defenders, you could buy _three_ Gozantis. Part of that is because Defenders are basically the F-22 Raptor of the Star Wars universe (fast, extremely capable, and eye-wateringly expensive), but still.
    It's also kind of amazing how the CEC came up with such a flexible design: the same spaceframe can be anything from a light cruiser, to a troop transport, to a civilian freighter, to a spy ship, to really anything else you feel like making it. There are probably luxury passenger liner versions out there. Those jobs all have _completely_ different requirements, but something about the Gozanti lends itself to being fitted out for any of them and serving effectively.

    • @grayscribe1342
      @grayscribe1342 3 роки тому +9

      The CEC is legendary for their ability to design easily modified and adaptable ships. The YT-2400 had everything ready to have it's engines switched to more powerful (and less legal) ones as well as mounts and access to a power grid that could supply heavy weapons.
      After the success of the YT2200 they designed it to be even more easily modified than it's successor.
      The only thing they didn't do was adding a guide to the ship where to get that illegal stuff.

      They actually allowed armed civillian ships. There were too many pirates around for the Republic to deal with and of course there was a lot of space outside the Republic. The Republic and the Empire didn't even make up a quarter of the galaxy. So ship builders could simply set up shop outside the Republic and they would loose all that revenue. Sure the production costs are higher because of the needed security and stuff, but hey better less profit than no profit at all. And others, like the Hutts would appreciate the extra income.
      In the legends Han Solo novels he visits a planet where the Millennium Falcon had more firepower than the local navy, which was one aging small cruiser which was waiting for parts to get even off the ground as the local government didn't hve the money for them. The only reason that region had no pirates was... simply put? There was nothning to steal that was worth the trouble. Even if you were into the slavery business, there were better sources.
      The planet was so far behind the times, that the printer Han delivered to the local university was financed by someone off-planet and could easily print forged local money.
      Yes, the planetary government had been scammed by those selling them the 'forgery-proof' money and by those that essentially off-loaded their old nearly broken down ship.

    I've always loved this ship. I don't know what it is about Corellia's boxy ships but I absolutely love them and would love to have one if they actually existed. This one in particular caught my attention the first time I saw it on screen (up close at least). I think it's the look of durability and reliability I like most.

    Seems these DID actually have a good military role... sounds like these would make great CAS atmosphere support/gunships for ground troops and also make good anti fighter support in fleet engagements or good shock or interceptor/assault craft depending on the configuration...
    Other than that this ACTUALLY sounds like a jack of all trades craft or one the craft with a version or possible configuration to meet just about any reasonable role for a craft of its size.

      As far as the military goes, it fills the same niche as the C-130. You want to move cargo? There’s a variant. You want something to head a system defense fleet? There’s a variant. You want some extra tie support alongside your fleet escorts? There’s a variant.
      You wanna do something stupid like cover it in signal dishes or attach rocket boosters to make a STOL? We’ll mod it.

    This video gave me some Elite: Dangerous vibes. I feel like the Lakon Type 6 (cargo hauler)/Keelback (smuggler/combat variant) & the larger Type 7 (cargo hauler) ships are very similar to the Gozanti. Same can go for quite a few other ships in E:D when compared to something in Star Wars. I think Alan or one of the Bens should take a look at their ship designs in a video. They're pretty awesome.
    In case anyone here has played, my favorites are Vulture, Asp Explorer, Python, Krait Mk2, Anaconda, Fed Corvette. Honorable mentions go to one of the Alliance Challenger/Crusader/Chieftain variants (forgot which one is the good one), I think the Krait Phantom is also good for exploration but lacks the fighter hangar, Fed Gunship is a good combat brick, Fer De Lance and Mamba own in pvp.
    Game is "fun" from the standpoint of realistic space flight mechanics and the nearly 1:1 representation of the milky way. Their algorithm even predicted the existence of planets and celestial bodies before we discovered them irl. It also looks gorgeous. It can get mind numbingly tedious though with the mechanics, so I haven't played in maybe 2.5 years after burning out.

    Back in the day there was a fun and interesting RPG set in the Star Wars Universe called Edge Of The Empire. The Gozanti was by far the most useful, versatile, and ubiquitous ship in that milieu. It was also the maximum challenge that the person running the game could use against the players while still giving them a fighting chance. Whereas using any of the other Imperial capital ships was just a way of saying to the players that the Empire was using overwhelming force.

    I like it. One of my favourite CEC ships. If I was in star wars I think a transport with loads of spares available and the ability to dock a protective fighter or two would be great. Although it does have a hard start it shares the pages of the CEC catalogue with the YT-1300, CR 90, CR 70, hammerhead, and other such cool and reliable ships.

    I can see Thrawn up-arming lots of the C-ROC versions and loading them with 4 Tie Avengers or Tie Defenders. His first command was on a Gozanti. Smugglers would load theirs with discord missile armed vulture droids or Scyk Interceptors. Cheap and plenty is how you want them in the Outer Rim. If they can revive or re-tell the Bad Batch story arc, the C-ROC would have been the perfect ship for them.
