A comment on the crew size... I happen to work on a passenger ship that is almost the same length (if possibly a bit taller) than the Consular-class. Our crew compliment, as mandated by the US Coast Guard, consists of 1 Captain, 1 First Mate, 1 Engineer, and 5 Deckhands. This for a ship that docks every night, if we were at "sea" for multiple days we would require twice the number (2 Captians, ect) for a minimum of 16 crew members. It also does not include our galley crew or the entertainers (about 50~60) nor our passenger areas (seats for 600), only the crew needed to pilot the vessel, maintain watches, and respond to emergencies. You mentioned the Consular having roughly 9 crew members. Aside from lacking the manpower to have billets filled around-the-clock, this seems reasonable for a non-combat-oriented passenger vessel... which is what it was (perhaps naively) designed to be.
I would also think that the likely use of highly advanced autopilot that most of these ships had at the time would also play a role in such a low number of crew
It showed an ideal, we approach unarmed and unable to harm, words are our armor and weapons used to change any situation. Throwing it into danger on the other hand was just stupid and the mission commanders that did so should have been court martialed taken out back and used as blaster practice.
Problem wasn't that it was unarmed. Problem was that it was used for combat at all. Republic should have dedicated escorts to protect them and generally improve it survivability (good engines, hyperdrive and shield needed for VIP protection).
0:08 "Dad, how are walkers built?" "Well, son, uhh... when two mobile weapon platforms love each other very much--well, see, there's a special kind of hug--err... that magic storks do on Ku...at. You know what, I'm not an engineer. Ask your mother."
Well in it's defense .... It's was the lightly armored diplomatic version, sitting in a docking bay with it's shields OFF .... Not really expecting to be attacked
To be fair, they weren't expecting to be attacked. They had been permitted to land, and the shields were down. Just before it was destroyed, the pilots frantically tried to raise shields, just not in time to prevent themselves from being blown up.
Love your channels's videos, they always are way more in depth and detailed than almost every other star wars channel and are presented in a much better way too
How about 10 flaws of the light saber? Think about it...flames, bullets, the physics of steam explosions. These things are as deadly to the user as the victim. Not that I will ever give you the odds....
Lightsaber was ceremonial weapon, what despite that was exceptionally good in specific uses. But no one beside specific type of crazy would use it in normal combat.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf just so you know Kylos lightsaber... those little red boys go all the way back into the main blade. In the new film you actually see the cross guard work funnily enough.
I think it depends mostly on period, but during regin of Palpatine class 2 hyperdrives were most prominent in larger vessels (both military and civilian) due to cost/effect ratio, especially on freighters, as additional maintenance could kill off profit margin - there were large ships with faster hyperdrives (Acclamator-class with recordbraking 0,6), but their drives required costly maintenance. But if we are talking about light freighters and other light vessels, then costs of acqiring and maintenance would be not as prohibitive, so couriers (both legal and illegal) could use to increase their profits, as they could take more delivery tasks. As for fighters, it wasn't common to use hyperdrives on them, as most of them were relatively light frames, where outfiting any hyperdrive was impossible due to lack of space/would require to make use of hyperdrive rings/would significantly increase cost of manufacturing. Another problem for fighters was size and cost of full-blown nav computer, which further increased costs or forced designers to include an astromech droid in their design. In the end, when starfighters began to have hyperdrive as deafult pack, they had class 1, because it was already developed and produced Wow, now that I read what I wrote, I see a lot of nerdiness in me
One can’t forget that the Republic was a bureaucratic government. They likely purchased things on a bid system. This ship was almost certainly CEC’s low bid design.
You forgot the Eleventh Flaw!!! if you shoot it with turbo lasers while its shields are down it blows up! :p your welcome :D thanks for all the fish and videos and all that great content by the way!!!
First it's arm signals (semaphor maybe?) and now we have morse code, someone with more time than I might start to decipher these clues to find out what our boy Allen's up to. 😁
You missed the single most important feature of *Ithorians,* how do they taste? Aliens are referred to as "ET" for a reason - phonetically _eat tee,_ the one being eaten.
Be careful with your C's and R's... The Consular-class was designated C-70 'Charger' in the Clone Wars. The CR-70 was a totally different ship, and the predecessor to the CR-90.
@@TheRezro yeah just a troop transport. In Republic Commando two of those destroyed a Lucrehulk. Besides the cannons are strong enough to cause a full on Base Delta Zero. A super orbital bombardment.
Let’s be real, the Galactic procurement department probably purchase a large fleet of these things right before a recession, and then every time someone wanted to replace them, they instead just put it through an upgrade programs, which over the airframes lifespan, likely cost 10x more than the craft fleet was originally purchased for.
Honestly for a Star Wars tabletop game giving players a rundown version of the Civilian/Diplomat Consular-class Cruiser could be actually fairly balanced and make some sense. It can be upgraded to the light armed package it had during the Clone Wars if they wanted and add in said drawbacks listed in the video along with the fact that you specify its rundown it will work but players would probably want to trade it in for something better armed, armored, shielded, faster, and easier for a crew to manage. You tease them that they are getting an Old Cruiser to start with and you have them gather parts and sorce items needed for this thing o escape or just acquire but its a Rundown Consular-class and most ships can still out run and out jump you and you have little to no armament or armor based on what they do with it. A nice mediocre at best starter craft for a player group of about 4-6 that can accommodate NPC companions if they get some. Even if they upgrade and retro-fit it to be more like the Clone Wars Combat model it is still weak and their are better options even in the Galactic Republic era for group that size let alone During-Post Empire.
You know I may have put off watching this video for a few days if not for the fact that I actually have an attachment to the consular class cruiser. A senator character I ran in a star wars rp, and the backbone of the fleet I ended up building because of limitations on what even a rich af senator could buy. I'm very curious as to your list of weaknesses
The biggest problem as you said it was made for civies not military so it can sure be strapped with turbo lasers and improved sheild but all is then is a glass cannon if they did this but told then to switch out the civilian part to a military version and more armour then it would be so bad
Let's just say this if a Dreadnought from 4000 years in the past can fit spaciously inside the hangar of a ship for Thousand Years in the future but then that ship has got some flaws
Is he held hostage or somthing cuz he used his flashlight to do morsecode and some time back he used something similar
I think he’s being held hostage by dolphins
He did S.O.S that's not good.
Ok good someone else saw this. Let's help overthrow his dolphin overlords.
I saw this too and yes think that is SOS, so why was he doing this? Has Palpatine come back again? Lol
People crack jokes but what if he really was being held prisoner and forced to keep this charade up for his captors.
I actually love the look of this ship personally.
I like most of the clone wars era ship designs
It's treason then....
It's probably one of my favorite Star War ships.
I like it

The Helghast Empire (Killzone) vs the Systems Alliance (Mass effect).
One of my all time favorite ships, I'm really glad you did this one.
Sit tight, Allen. A detachment of Imperial Stormtroopers have been dispatched and are en route to free you from your rebel captors as we speak.
You have mistaken he is in captivity of the Empire to demote and disgrace the Republic , send in Rebel special forces
Why does every single ship in star wars have a class 1 hyper drive? Shouldn't they be expensive as hell. Especially for starfighters?

What did the Morse code say in the begging?
i think it was a SOS
SOS SOS
The actual model works well with combat modifications, and has a very good acceleraton and speed.
This is my favorite ship from star wars
I love the Charger C70 refit tbh
Consider this: since the Consular class is designed as a civilian vessel, it doesn't have any military grade systems on it.
Theory: the CEC combined the best qualities of the Consular class with the Hammerhead corvette.
