10 Features that made the VENATOR CLASS the BEST STAR DESTROYER in Star Wars 

Indeed it is

Jonathan Swavely absolutely agree

Definitely.

Yes, this is very true

Hell yes. The opening battle on revenge of the sith is epic

Ahh yes the negotiator

General kenobi we been waiting for you

Used for agressiv negotiation....

@@homesteadlegion4419 I understood that reference.

the negotiations were short.

Hell yeah

No doubt about it

i kinda like the molevolence more becuse of its over wellming fire power

Of course it is I'd rather a dagger then a Blunt and heavy knife. Antomy a Venator looks like a smooth well flushed out dagger.

The ISD looked way more badass tho

The Tarkin doctrine was so garbage.

Tarkin: make things big and blow stuff up

Farther than Kylo Ren did when Palpatine yeeted him off a Ledge into an Abyss

actually it had two hangers one on the bottom and one on the back of the bridge

Krennic: B A L L

@Aditya Shivam Parashar Droid cleaner: This is the WORST JOB in the Droid Army. And it just went into overtime

@@salmanmahyuddin8384 nice reference

@Michael McGrath If you hate the prequels why on earth are you here? You must lead a sad and pathetic life if you have nothing better to do than copy and paste your vitriol on every single Star Wars video.

Michael McGrath Well I grew up with the original trilogy and even I think the prequels designs are both more functional and aesthetically pleasing. It's a matter of taste though, but you can't say someone isn't a true fan just because they prefer one design over another. My name isn't for nothing, it also makes me more of an expert than you because I have actually designed ships myself so...

@@DeathBYDesign666 Agreed everybody has their own opinions, I design cars and products, but some designs are better than others regardless of opinions.

Moritz Pollich And the secondary ones on the main hanger on top.

I know that the bottom hanger can carry an entire Charger C70, but how many starfighter's can those side hanger's carry

@Leon fierce they connected to the main hangar which is seen in anikins relief in season one of the other jedi

There's a fifth one right in the front on some modes.

I don't think the bottom has a door though.

Devan Devan no it’s not everyone agrees it’s the best

gamerchu sadly that’s not true

Devan Devan underrated soundtrack as well

What about the Clone Wars intro?

Francisco Lallana That and it has a Class 1.0 hyperdrive. Making it faster in light speed then the Imperial-1 or 2.

Battlecarriers are a genuine concept. The Graf Zeppelin is the only real word example, and she was never finished. However, the USA came up with a few aircraft carrier-cruiser concepts which could've theoretically been made into full on Battlecarriers.

Me too

Same

Its like the Galaxy Class from Star Trek. Sleek, Sexy, Powerful and everyone wants to command one.

Definitely the go to capital ship if I had to choose one

Same here and everything stated in this video is exactly why I love it.

Completely agree. 👍

I see you're a man of culture as well

Basicly any clone wars eara stuff are better than imperial shit they shoulda stayed with clone wars eara stuff

Agree

Yeah but I think a lot of that was just budget, I am sure George would have gone overboard if he could have back in the day. The Prequels were really where he could go all out with his ideas.

Well, it can devastate other ships if it gets close due to how powerful their turrets are.

If you want to use the tarkin doctrine, at least try to not have design liability; if anyone know how to easily exploit ship weaknesses, it would probably lead to over-confident instead of the fear its meant to install

Well did it work?

@pro Aaron well the reason for the fall of the empire was the death of the emperor and the following collapse of the comand chain, not the failure of the tarkin doctrine. In fact the doctrine was so efficient that the ships the rebels used on their assault are the very last they had, so i would say yes it worked

@Gabriel Ho keep in mind that the close range flaw didnt matter in the minds of the empire because they basically would have the number advantage in any space battle and blast any ship into pieces in a matter of minutes

Bad writing.

Cut costs, invest in cheap material relying on overwhelming numbers instead of quality troops and starships

because the prequels were made after the original trilogd and noone really put any thought into it, If these ships are actually militarical pheasable.

Cruisers weren’t necessary when peace was the normal through most of Imprrial history, Destroyers were a good fit for enforcement

Because Tarkin was a moron. He believed that bigger was not just better, but bigger caused more fear, and fear would keep the systems of the Empire from revolting.

They werent really needed though. Rebel ships had hyperdrives, so large carriers werent necessary

But they were i would hate to sit in a cockpit for 12+ hours when a venator can get me to the nearest system and I only have to sit in one for 4 hours

Sometimes several

Empire had many realistic designs too. Both factions were - maybe the FO too. But I don't consider them an official superpower, rather an uprising against the New Republic galactic government (which was very weak itself)

I'm an OT guy but those Prequel ships are Great

No? None of them are realistic and the idea of carrier superiority in space makes no sense.

He forgot to mention that the Venator's front side was sloped in a way so that it's stronger, especially against Vulture droids. Don't know what I mean? You should probably flip back into your trigonometry notebook.

"Realistic"? Those are fucking space ships!

Hms king george V and rodney made an appearance in star wars?

You're right, it is.

@@rayhan_2k841 haha, i get that its not the most convincing but look at it this way: the malevolence (bismark) appears, threatening to take out the republic (britans) medical stations (supply lines). The republic (britan) sends three venators (HMS Hood and HMS prince of wales) but all are swiftly destroyed (i guess the PoW escaped but meh) leaving only 4 surivors (in the HMS Hoods case there were only 3) in a panic The republic sends a massive 6 venator task force (HMS glorious, HMS sheffield, HMS george VI, HMS norfolk, HMS rodney and HMS Lion) to intercept it and destroy it. the venator class "resolute" (HMS glorious) sends in a flight of Y wings (swordfish torpedo bombers) which cripple the ship and send it off course to salucemi (the denmark straight) before it is finally brought down by a volley from the "Garlara" (HMS Norflok)

wasn`t the bismarck taken out by bombers?

@@Enrico_Palazzo_opera_singerIts rudder was damaged meaning it couldn't really maneuver well. So it became a sitting duck to a task force of British battleships.

Same with concession missile launchers

Self-defense cannons

What about the scene in Revenge of the Sith where a Venator takes down a Separatist ship in a broadside

You also port and starboard hangar bays where I'm pretty sure they showed AV 7 canons in Revenge of the Sith.

The problem is that carriers are only as strong as the fighters They carry

@@ufukcangencoglu2279 well 400ish TIE Fighters is better than the amount carried by the Star Destroyer

Yeah, 400-500 TIEs might actually be somewhat effective at something other than dieing.

Weird flex but ok

What would have worked and have been compatible with the Tarken doctrine [*pause to spit on the ground] is to keep the Venators as support ships for the ISD's. They could keep up, take a beating, and launch hundreds of Ties to cover the ISD's, as well as larger ships like heavy bombers. And provide small corvettes/gunships with facilities for repair ect.

That would be a potent combination.

Better still, would be 1 ISD leading 2 Venators and 1 Victory-2. 1000 fighters, bombers, and interceptors can accomplish most tasks, while the Venator/Victory complement each other's strengths. ISD in reserve should be enough for a major operation.

@@Euripides_Panz This this this

My sentiments exactly. The heavy hitter complimented by 2 carrier/battleships (along with a full complement of fighters) protecting it. Bring in a decent amount of support craft and frigates and your fleet is more effective than a certain ball-shaped planet-killing moon-sized space station.

thats assuming you have ships to fill the venators with

It's one of the stark contrast between the Republic Navy, CIS Navy and the Imperial Navy. The Venator, Acclamtor and other ship designs of the Republic Navy favored designs that put as much versatility in as few designs as possible, while the other 2 navies focused more on specialized ships.

Believe it or not, but the venator is well armed. While there's only a few large turbolasers on the top, they are much more powerful and have much better range than the ISD's largest guns. Additionally, there are many deck guns along the length of the ship to allow full broadsides

Indeed, that video should be made.

I thought he already made that video? Either that or I'm probably getting it getting it mixed up with eckheart's latter's video.

i have 3 reasons 1. they can hit there target 2. there armor was lighter 3. they can actully kill jedi unlike storm troopers

Can they see out the helmets?

Reason 1~10: they are badass and awesome 😎.

Exactly

And im pretty sure that 2 venators and support ships would have desteoyed 1 isd, heck maybe even 1 venator would be enough due to its ability to strike in multiple place at the same time due to its fighters

@Michael McGrath Don't hate the prequels because it wasn't what u wanted but appreciate it's not the sequel trilogy

CT-1022 imagine using battlefront 2 as reliable source material.

@@longpause2701 Last I checked Battlefront II is technically cannon no matter your opinion is on the game.

Wasn't that cannon an artillery piece (The SPHA I believe) that was attached to the lower hangar of the Venator?

@@AnakinSkywakka I don't believe that was ever actually confirmed even in Legends but it isn't canon. Besides the hanger on the underside of the Venator is more of a docking bay for small frigates and corvettes. The artillery would have to be attached some how upside down on the hanger.

@@silentstorm509th9 From Wookiepedia "At the suggestion of Anakin Skywalker, a heavy SPHA turbolaser cannon was installed within the ventral hangar bay of some Venator-class ships of the Open Circle Fleet. These weapons were meant to protect the Star Destroyers while they opened their long ventral doors to the army complement bays"

And got beat by a local blue milk drinking moisture farmer, his sister, Indiana Jones, a walking carpet and a couple of robots. Take that palpatine you scrotum face!🤣

Agreed.

Yep. They did make a smart change when later Venators had a smaller hangar access door. But another issue is the gun PLACEMENT. Those turbolasers are all focused on the dorsal side of the hull. Meaning that if an enemy cruiser got beneath it, the Venator's screwed. In space, tho, they could just roll and fire "upside down," something they kinda forgot about space it seems.

I'm pretty sure Venetors could be outfitted as more specialized carriers, troop carriers, battleships or command ships. Specialized for defending the core or patroling the outer rim etc...

Hey, atleast the ship looks sexy. So if it goes down, it'll go down with style.

you’re right, but don’t forget about fire power. i love the Venator but i think its space opera things ... Isd are so big because they have armor and space inside. the movies show them wrong. the venator would fire a long time, to actually destroy a Isd. plus, nobody takes burst fire and constant dps into calculation. i just mean the numbers are odd ... venator has x fighters, x troops and shit on board. i mean they have to eat, shit and sleep. that takes up space. space that is required for shield batteries, power supplies and things i can’t imagine. when you would simulate them in an actual battle, the venator would blow up after a few barrages of fire. i mean its hypothetic, but the venator couldn’t keep up the fire fight. when they both encounter each other in let’s say a head on. when could they fire at each other, 100 kilometers away? in the films the stand side by side ... but in a real, this distance is nothing for turbo lazzor batteries ... i mean they shoot with light, so ... the projectiles travel with light speed ... a venator couldn’t outmaneuver that, so it’s practically dead at 100 kilometers away (62 Miles). Oki, that’s why hit´n run tactics. so, deploy all fighters far away and jump in with all you have. but like tba113 said you would lose a lot of clones. actually, ... all i say ... why you ask? oki some things to consider: so let’s sum up what the venators place management is all about: clones -sleeping, -eating, -shitting, -showering and every day stuff. so, you need food, water and a place for waste. oki waste is blown out into space. oki, we synth water from space, but that’s another machine which uses space inside the ship. clone warrior equipment, shield stuff, engines, power core, batteries -for sustained firing ... FUEL, hyperdrive, fighters, bombers- at st´s, other shit and maintenance stuff. i think this is a odd number problem what never gets addressed by anyone. what is an Isd filled with? air, rocks? i think a bunch of shield things, tactical anti hack shit, batteries ... and a much better armor, which wouldn’t be that easily fucked by those over powered Rebel rockets. I know, no Rebels here at this point, but i think they’re rockets a to powerful, why don’t the Imperium have such things. maybe they have, but i don’t know it. Also, everybody forgets about maintenance stuff ... you think, what the shit is that? spare parts for the fighters for example. i mean in realistic condition an y-fighter was sure hit by a tie fighter in battle. not destroyed, but hit. now you say, these fighters aren’t on the venator and you’re right ... but that’s just because i don’t know the names for this kind of fighters and bombers. but i think they are somehow the same. more expansive but well armored, have hyperdrives. it’s like the Rebels kept the fighter concept against the imperium. good fighters, bombers and a carry against an Isd. oki, in the films x-wings are in bad condition but, lets say everything is new and fresh ... ... here is another thing with our custom battle. the video and some (all) comments said ... hey, let’s go one on one, Isd against Venator ... nobody said which fraction and which fighters would be used in this battle. so oki, lets say Isd against Venator, the standard fighters and bombers on both ships. no fractions included. Venator with all fighters deployed, jumps to star destroyer, hit and run style. Venator loses, you ask why was my point on the start. when the Venator arrives, close to the star destroyer for max accuracy to disable the lazzor batteries of the Isd, how fast would it be? i think not fast enough to disable all of the Isd weapon systems in time. how fast can a Venator fire? like three salvos before the Isd can fire back? Shields of the Isd should handle that easy. after the Venator is destroyed the fighters have to go somewhere. they could jump somewhere and restock, repair and plan the next hit´n run. but the Venator would be destroyed. oki, Venator fighters and bombers you say. they have rockets and stuff. but i say, shields of the Isd are still on. so the rockets and bombs don’t do, or do a lot less damage. yeah, but Venator fighters disable shield points on Isd! oki you’re right but how fast. doesn’t that mean this would be a tie? why a tie? because the Isd is deploying fighters too. so the Venator fighters have to retreat after a while? i mean the Venator is lost. "oki lets do it on a timeline here, i think its more understandable:" - i thought about a way the Venator could win this, i wanted to present you the way, the Isd would destroy the Venator. but i think it is easier to present a way, how the Venator could win and how tactical it has to be. i am rethinking the whole text i wrote, but its late and i am tired and i was thinking like 3 hours how this fight would end. so, you get a time line how i would destroy an Isd with a venator, where i assume how some things would work out: fight starts: Venator and deployed fighters jump close to Isd. (why close? dont know. the film is like that. it would be the best if the Venator jumps far away but still in weapon reach and the fighter very close to the Isd to get fast to the shield weak spots. oki, maybe the Venator jumps close because the Isd outranges the Venator anyway and the weapon systems are closer more powerful (weapons of Venator more powerful close? why would that be you ask? consider here odd number problem of the Venator, too much stuff in it, for less money and same weapon capacity? no way^^)) Venator open fire at ... at what ... i even don’t know how shields work proper in this case. if the shields hold back all damage, the Venator have to shoot first the weak spots. that means it have to think about where it jumps, in other words ... in which position it jumps. from above, face to face, from below, from the back? Could the Venator even detect in which position the Isd is parked? i mean oki ... it is doing some planetary blockade or other Imperial things. i say oki, Venator knows the exact position and direction Isd is facing. so, it jumps under it. Venator direction is to deal max burst dps in a short amount of time. i don’t know how the Venator does the most damage in the fewest time, how it burst damages the most. i assume the Venator is under the Isd and has all 8 main turrets aimed up to shoot the under shield generator and after that, straight the hangar for preventing fighters to deploy. maybe this is even a weak spot of the Isd which isn’t armored and the Venator could do a lot of damage. i hope this is a weak spot^^ ... at the same time Venator fighters and bombers jump above the Isd and target first the two upper shield generators. after that the main weapons systems and after that the maneuver thrusters and main thrust. oki, that’s no time line, but you get what i mean. if just something is going wrong and the Isd could shoot at the Venator, it would go down to fast. this is a hard and risky maneuver to do. why? you have to synchronize two fleets. first you have to split your army, so the deff of your carrier, the Venator Fighters and bombers are jumping to coordinates above the Isd but outside of the Isd detection range. after that, they aim for the Isd and jump the second time. while the Venator itself has to to the same. so, jumping somewhere far away, under the Isd, maneuver around and jump to get under it. the have to arrive quite simultaneously because the Isd could move/maneuver. don’t forget, you have to know the exact position and facing of the Isd. I think this could work, but you have so much to lose and you have to do a first strike with the Venator, so ... i am quite sure, face to face, the Isd would shred it. by the way: - why do Isd have they’re shield generators outside and the Venator doesn’t have this kind of problems? not so strong shields, don’t require that much cooling? - Isd turbo Lazzor batteries could hit the millennium falcon. in some film they’re escaping from somewhere and the Isd are blocking the way. han say something like, we have to get here away quick. when they hit us, we are dead. so i think that’s another space opera thing. you could argue that the millennium falcon is a bigger ship, but ... hey it’s not like main chars are never hit in the films by storm troopers. in a realistic fight, they would hit close targets i think. so i think they would hit other fighters as well. - hyperdrives are expansive, or at least not at all places available. the silver ship of padme needs one in the film on tatooine. so i think that’s why the tie-fighter got invented and why expansive little ships where abandoned. i mean look at the Venetor. i don’t know how much spare parts for fighters they have on board, but when they run out, they have to get ships from the better star systems than the outer rim for fighters ... and i mean how much fuel does such restock runs cost? i think you’re cheaper with an Isd. so i say, keep Venetor and Isd in same fleet, replace expansive fighters with cheap ones and you’re good to go against everything

@@troo_6656 agreed. I mean, we don't know how long he was a captain, but he'd been an admiral for what, two years, and suddenly he's in charge of the most critical fleet in the empire? Seems questionable. "Hey, you survived in Vader's fleet for two years hunting scattered rebels, that must mean you can run this operation!" Rather than looking at what admirals had more experience designing and running the defense of a large space station against a full fleet of determined attackers. The skillset for hunting down rebels does not equal the skillset for a static defense.

I agree the Venator is the best class of star destroyer in the star wars galaxy. In the star wars empire at war game, I always play with mods that let me build Venators.

That's highly debatable. I'd say the Imperial Army is overall and generally-speaking better. Troopers still have standardized and effective equipment and receive some decent military training. Ultimately though, the Imperial Army is superior to the Republic one for one thing: it's that the Imperial Army has more numbers than the GAR. Without a doubt, on average the individual clone is superior to an Imperial Army trooper (and stormtrooper as well) - however, there are significantly less numbers in the GAR. Clones are extremely expensive to produce and take a longer time to train and prepare than normal recruits and conscripts of the Imperial Army - trading quantity for quality. Ultimately, the Imperial Army has superior numbers than the GAR by a significant amount - and argueably still decent equipment, which is why the Imperial Army is No. 1. However, I will say the Republic Army/CIS takes the No. 2 spot - all three of them are the most powerful superpowers in militaries.

Definitely. And after all, it did win a straight up war-more than you can say for anyone else.

@@Edward-oh2yn Well remove the jedi and I would definitely pick the GAR. Their tactics and vehicles were better overall than the Imperial ones. The only advantage of the Empire is the number, it lack in every other domains. Well an ISD is powerful in fleet battles, but put some bombers and the ISD is no more

+@@Edward-oh2yn They couldn't even beat a few squadrons of space jihadists trying to attack a meal blob which they themselves made.

@@Edward-oh2yn Imperials with Clone Wars era gear would have done much better, The Rebels snub-fighter heavy tactics would have been nowhere near as effective. But yes I agree, the Imp's had their strong points but were significantly handicapped by the many of the REMF in charge of the military and the gear they were provided.

Should have been deathsticks.

Q q, explain....

Excuse me what the fuck?

The Venator-Class star destroyer has numerous defenses against dolphins one of them being the moonpool used to dispose of any unwanted aquatic life that happens to sneak onto the ship another being that the dolphins do not have necessary access to get to the shield generators or engine room as the clones would shoot them on sight.

@@britbrittingson3129 KEKW what

@@ricepatty5258 in the beginning if you pause at around 0:06 on the bottom it says no anti dolphin measures

Hapan and Bakuran stuff is better, and the DP-20 and liberator cruiser/carriers are just ridiculous for their size but I agree that in Disney canon it is the best designed ship(unless the DP20 is canon)

I disagree the providence class carrier/destroy is better then the venator but that's my opinion

@@deeos2238 The providence had less fighters (240 compared to a venators 420) less turbolasers (14 to a Venators 16, and the Venators were better) worse weapon placement due to shape worse point defenses (46 to a Venators 52) a slower hyperdrive (class 1.5 compared to a class 1) The Venator could also land. The providence was a little better armored and shielded and was slightly faster as well, which let the Providence hold it's own if you didn't involve the fighters

@@adrastos8401 in terms of firepower the providence has more because its has 14 quad turbolaster cannons which are more powerful then the 8 dual heavy turbolase the venator has plus you forgot to mention the provinces 102 proton torpedo tubes it has while true the venator has more fighter it lacks the firepower of a provendece

I also forgot about the providence 34 dual laser cannons and 2 heavy ion cannons

I don't know if political figures do well as complements to Space cruisers and destroyers, but it will be still interesting.

@@NightRaven-lh1bf Oh yay, I'm not the only one!

@@NightRaven-lh1bf Oh Jesus yea that number is utterly obscene. But at the same time, I feel the look on the other guy's face when the Venator just starts disgorging an endless swarm of Defenders...

I’d still think a venator would beat an isd if it used all its resources and capabilities. A venator might not be able to beat an isd with its weapons alone, but it’s got 6 times the number of fighter ships than an isd does and can deploy them much more quickly and efficiently. Not only that, the fighters are solid and strong, not flimsy and weak like tie fighters, and have a whole range of bombers and interceptors. And we all know that most ship battles in Star Wars end with the fighters taking out the capital ships. So I think, on a 1 on 1 situation, a venator will be able to beat an isd if it used all its resources and played it smart, using its fighters to weaken and disable it and then bringing in the venator to finish it off. After all, the isd doesn’t even have a point defence system so it cant fend off the fighters on its own. It has to rely on the tie fighters, and we already that the venator has 6 times the number of isd fighters And it still adds up to be cheaper than the isd

@@FulcrumHQ99 bassically jumping out of hyper space y wings ready, rebel alliance style, only with 5 times more bombers and enought ark's 170 to make the tie numerical advantage look like joke

tataveve_angel 大火 yeah exactly. Venator Star destroyers for the win

So an average day in the original Battlefront II

It can go either way. ISD though, wins in areas like superior armor and weapons.

A company of galactic marines would do the trick

But then the ISD would have to be in the atmosphere of a planet bc LAAT gunships are Low Altitude Assault Transports, meaning that it could only be used in atmospheres. The ISD could just maneuver out of the atmosphere to avoid being boarded by LAATs.

@@mkronos02 Actually the LAAT can be used in space.

An excellent point.

unfortunately Pellaeon was made briefly canon by Rebels and then mostly killed by a giant space whale before he had a chance to do anything greart

Generation Tech I know that, I’m talking about the star destroyer class named after him in legends

@@GenerationTech Space squid/Sperm Whale

@@GenerationTech Not true! Dave Filoni actually made a comment on that saying that they simply wanted to have Pellaeon put into play. He *is* most likely still alive though according to Dave. And thank god for that, since he was one of my favorite old EU characters.

+@@GenerationTech At least he wasn't kidnapped by space octopi.

Z J true however the ISD seemed to be more often sent alone to deal with problems or without support ships like at Scarfi, Jedha . Sending one ship that can handle anything makes sense when policing civilians as the empires resources where stretched thin due to all planets they ruled

@@reecewestmoreland6137 Because Disney has generally refrained from expanding the Imperial navy much. The Empire in Legends had dozens of different ships with different intended mission profiles, including multiple proper anti-fighter corvettes and patrol frigates such as the Lancer Frigate, Tartan Patrol Cruiser, IPV-1, and Raider corvette. There's other factors for why they were struggling with the rebels, like the quality-versus-cost of the rebel starfighters (In particular the X, A, and B-wings), the pool of Imperial recruits (Normal humans filling the enlisted ranks, and too many entitled rich kids making it into command positions), and the age of TIE L/n Fighter on top of all of that. Also, the criticism of the Empire's lack of hyperdrive has a simple explanation; They didn't need hyperdrives. When Imperial capital ships entered the system, they were pretty much the dominant force and anti-imperial forces had to GTFO or be crushed. They weren't operating with "slash&run" guerrilla warfare tactics, they simply sent one of their obscenely well armed Star Destroyers into a system and took control. A lot of the Rebels' major victories were due to ace heroes like Luke, Leia, Han, Wedge, and Lando pulling off crazy stunts that only work thanks to dumb luck that has no counter.

@@SoftisNelaris Not really even in legends the ISD was the mainline of the empire and had the same flaws and was all we saw on screen in most battles. This isn't a cannon verse legends. debate as it's always been the same. The ISD was always meant to be a lone operation ship

Reece Westmoreland those examples are poor as they are not actual battles required a large war effort, just a minor skirmish in the grand scheme of things. Movies are heavily influenced by plot armour making the bad guys redundant in on screen lore.

Well, we see both in legends material (like the Thrawn-trilogy) or in canon material (the book Thrawn) that imperial Star destroyers while on many occasions accted alone also were often supported by other ships - scurisers and smaller types. In Thrawn, the ISD is the core of a small fleet of ships which support each other, which made a lot of sense. Of course we see that little in the films since it is much easier to show the "bad guys" with just one easy to identify ship, instead of creating a mix of different ships. Imagine a fight in which the Empire use Nebulon-B (a imperial design) together with less known corvettes etc. against a swarm of rebel ships. The viewer would very easy have problems to see who is fighting on which side, for example if two Nebulon B are exchaning fire. That many imperial ships have the typical star-destroyer design make things a little bit better, but still it is much more easy to reduce one side just to a single typ of ship.

hmm you must be in the pacific somewhere

@@GenerationTech Holy Crap, i cant believe you responded, love your channel... and yeah, Australia

I think so too, but the armor should be upgraded to a modern composite material. This would make it lighter, thinner and stronger.

Honestly I rather deal with the flaws in the Venator class destroyer then the star destroyers mostly the fact that the only bridge on the ship is the most exposed part with little defense against enemy aircraft

@@viperbuzzard01h84 That and at least with the Venator, you get good quality starships to assist, while the ISD has the junky TIEs.

Number 12. VENATOR MEANS HUNTER IN LATIN

Markaplience the rebel alliance used hit and run tactics a vendor would just slow them down

here have the katana fleet, costs a tenth of a venator (per ship) and has the same amount of weapons (also per ship)

A scaled down ISD? Hmm could be the Victory or Vindicator.

The central red stripe that ran along the dorsal side of the venator was a door to give all the hanger bays access, the scene that was shown in ep III was just a small part at the back of the door (and imo was put in so you don't have to open the entire dorsal hanger and leave the ship exposed)

@@maxzinusnightfury1208 Multiple dorsal doors? Makes sense.

Actually early Clone Wars Venators had the really long hangar door. Later on they redesigned them with smaller doors to protect the hangar. And the side doors weren't directly connected to the main hangar, but could be accessed by a corridor. Also, with the smaller door, a hatch of sorts was added to the prow of the ship for extra fighter exits.

The clone turbo tank?
