7 Most Affordable Star Ships in Star Wars 

Please cover the Exosquad

And maybe tyber zann

Can you please continue the sepratist alliance vs earth please

If it was a contest to win a Proffieboard or Xenopixel lightsaber, I would have jumped on. Looks like a far out product tho, Dig the videos man

this one was cool!

Obi wan was not rich lmao. He made Luke sell his landspeeder so they could afford to live, and obi wan lived in an actual cave before upgrading to a small shack

Obi-Wan wasn't rich, he was, however, bringing them to his alderaan royal relations (and other rebel leaders) who definitely have the funding to pay a 10k for them

​@@slimetank394 broke with rich, generous allies is probably pretty nice for a situation like his

You’re right. Han was 100% trying to get the full payment of what he owed Jabba out of the deal. Obi-wan instantly knew what he was doing so he offered a deal that would satisfy someone like Han while allowing him to pay the majority of it after he reaches his allies. Not sure what Luke means by we can almost buy our own ship for that, when at best they’d get some junky class 4 hyperdrive fighter with two seats to fit 3 passengers (assuming there’s an astromech socket).

I think warp without shield may be suicidal. A piece of rock can kill you. But I'm no expert.

@@boeingnz not necessarily, i don’t remember but I’m pretty sure the TIE’s in the sequels didn’t have shields but they went into hyperdrive. Although, TIE’s and this dudes choice are very very very weak, so you’d have to be a pacifist and never have anyone wanna kill you lol

@@boeingnz Then just spend some of the money you saved on some shields, and whatever other upgrades you can find for cheap. (If you're buying it used, it'll still be the cheapest ride you can get.)

@@jaron788 The first Order tie fighter do have "basic deflector shields". I have Star Wars The Visual Encyclopedia.

@@boeingnz in star was lightspeed is done though a higher dimension. in this dimension there are no objects although you do get gravity shadows. So no collisions but you do get pulled out of hyperspace if you get to close to a planet, star or black hole.

We have the technology to build these things in space.

@@rc59191 oh nah, not the space engine

What’s hilarious is that we have more advanced ships already in production (for almost 100 years in modern history). The 3 biggest examples are Teledyne-Ryan, Boeing, & Lockheed Martin: Skunkworks.

I’m a big fan of the 2000 myself

@@caesarspeaks I always thought the 2000 looked weird I always was a fan of the 2400 though

Corellian XS-800. Contender for ugliest ship in the galaxy, but it does what it says on the box. And it's CHEAP! (Probably because nobody wants them).

I also really like the idea that the YT-1000 is seen in the same way we see a classic car. You can find some really beat up nasty ones for really cheap that work but run like crap. On the other hand you can find some restored ones that are shown off in contests and driven around for leisure which are worth far more than they initially sold for.

"Well built" HAHAHAHA

And often breaks down. But at least parts are cheap and readily available.

That’s why I wrote “old-school Ford” and not just “Ford”

So more like a 70 series Land Cruisers?

I was thinking Toyota Hilux

Great combo, but I'd also add a small fighter or something, so you don't have to land a giant cruiser for stuff like shopping runs.

I love goxonti's

@@pirateraider1708 I had the same thought, even if I was just captaining a CR-90 Corvette (Blockade Runner). Probably more fuel efficient to just orbit and send a small craft to land.

@@konstellashon1364 Fuel, landing fees, stowaways, getting falsely accused of illegal smuggling, and countless other things, all get solved by simply adding a convenient small craft.

Oh! A couple second hand vultures walking around the hull would be an amazing visual. Intimidating too.

What's FFG?

What's ffg?

@@buddermonger2000 Fantasy Flight Games, the game company behind those specific TTRPG rules

@@DetectiveLance got it

Not to mention it could have the bomb bays freed up for decent small cargo shipping. Good for your low costs, secure for private courier purposes meaning premium prices, and a comfy sized cockpit for napping during FTL flight

@@DetectiveLance You could strip out the gun turret to clear up more room from the pilot spot, so you could maybe fit a small area to sleep as well

@@BrendanWebbFtB yeah, I could, but I kinda like having the option to comfortably have a passenger, keep the option for manual controls on the guns that I can lockout from the cockpit.

It would be ideal if you were from a _small_ alien species, and could actually walk around in the cockpit. Then the bomb bay could be converted into a actual living area. But a Wookie would have to rip out the seats and steer it from the gunners position.

@@casbot71 and now I'm imagining having a few of Babu Frik's species as maintenance crew. They look like they could use shoeboxes for bunks. 😆😆

I mean, it was in Hutt space, second hand ships might run close to quarter price if sketchy & likely stolen

Luke's thinking might have been more along the lines that having the cash for a downpayment would be enough to "afford" a ship. There's a fair amount of IRL precedent for that, such as the predatory car dealerships near military bases. A lot of young, high-energy guys, with thousands in pay banked up over their training or deployment, who've just spent the last several months cooped up under strict supervision - taken together, these factors mean the dealerships are more than willing to offer Corporal J. Q. Public a hot deal on a shiny late-model Camaro, practically a steal at only 20% interest. Someone like Luke, willing to jump at any chance of getting offworld, would absolutely take that sort of deal if it meant he had keys in hand after forking over a downpayment.

@@tba113 if you just need 2 seats and a trunk for the droids you can probably buy some bester with a hyperspace drive for 12 to 15 grand.

@@DrewLSsix Exactly. To the sort of dealer who would be under Jabba's influence, the fact that Luke had no idea how to manage a hyperspace calculation would be a distant second-place concern to the fact that he had cash in hand.

Obi-Wan could have just gotten a Y-Wing (pilot, gunner and astromech). He could pilot that and make jumps with ease. And with a bit of Jedi mind trick on a dealer who _wasn't_ from a species that was immune, he could get a very good price.

like the fact it's bigger on the inside! Seriously, compare exterior shots of the Falcon to all the interior...it's way bigger on the inside

YT-1300 is very efficient as it only need 2 crew and can carry 25 tons of in the passenger version (or 100 tons of cargo in the freight version). Compare this to the Gozanti being twice as long, needing 12 crew and only carrying 75 tons of cargo (from wookiepedia). Of course the Gozanti is a cruiser (aka lots of guns), so I wonder what its price and cargo capacity would be if you removed the guns in exchange for greater cargo capacity.

It depends on what era your in too. Some ships probably go up in value too.

I mean, TIEs weren't exactly high quality even new. Heck, i'm surprised you can *find* used TIEs since those things break all the damn time.

Well the ships chain code could be pretty dodgy

You put new instead of used

*Reliability has left chat*

sounds expensive

@@Marcusjnmc Maybe when new, but at the time of the clone wars most were old rust buckets

@@Marcusjnmc 85K new, 40-45K used according to the wiki. It's a real diamond in the rough.

He found his extremely cheap. Abandoned with a 5-finger discount.

if only...

Closest attempt is Star Citizen.... and that ain't looking so hot these days.

Some of Star Citizen’s ships do look like they could fit in Star Wars, like the Drake Cutlass. But as for actually playing it…

Just have to wait for more people to adopt vr

Weirdly, I'd probably take up a quiet job as a freelancer, running escort and supply jobs to help people out.

Original armor plating?

@@DetectiveLance Yup, only 1 owner. Local defense force, never damaged in combat. Only minor comestic damage from space debris.

Never preorder man supply chains are a mess

Meanwhile me buying a Kuat drive yards Dynamic class freighter. As good as a YT-1300 but has better guns as standard and easily modifiable as the yt series.

Man you gotta out that things first flight on the holonet, assuming they get it going.

Eloquent use of the word "festooned"

Nice choice. My ship is from the D6 roleplay game. The 3-Z Light Freighter from Nova Drive which is like the redheaded stepchild of the YT series. Slightly redesigned to more of an oval shape than the yt-1200/1210/1250 it was based on, it sells for cheaper than the Yt-1300, has a less complicated layout. Maybe it's not onscreen canon but she still does it for me. Where everyone and his sister might want the YT-1300, I prefer the offbrand but still competitive 3-Z, which being based on YT designs, can use a lot of the fun aftermarket parts the CEC ships can (depending on how kind your GM is feeling at the time of course) We picked up ours secondhand, and although she had a few maintainence issues leftover from a negligent previous owner, with enough time and a lot of lubrication fluid, we managed to stop the grinding noise the ramp/cargo elevator made when in use and the way one of the landing legs hydraulics would stick when landing or taking off. Also the previous owner was either colorblind or eyes operated on a different spectrum because she was painted dark olive green with Gold/Bronze highlights. Our Captain though, insisted we keep the sickly livery. Good times were had aboard her though.

Not to mention it still has shields and an astromech

The problem with it was high cost, maintenance, and high crew needs. Plus it was slower than other starfighters in a. Dogfight.

Ah, a man of culture, I see

One thing about the original TIE fighters is that they could be issued to personnel that have non-human atmosphere requirements. Since all of the life support is contained in the suit, the TIE itself doesn't need any changes. Makes the production runs and maintenance much easier since only one design is needed, instead of needing to take into account different atmosphere compositions and the effect on the cockpit circuitry.

I've been fixated on looking up YT-1300 floor plans for the past month for some reason. Even the fan art. Love the creative ideas for both combat and civilian use. I'm thinking I would buy the Stock Passenger version, but still be a cargo hauler thanks to the mandibles. Then my crew of 3 or 4 get their own rooms.

To be fair there was an entire Jawa clan that turned their Sandcrawler into a starship...

Actually pretty affordable yay priced

Solid choice. I grew up with minivans and the U-Wing gives off some major minivan vibes.

How do you find the lore prices of used Star Wars ships? Whenever I try to search, all I get is LEGO sh*t.

Engine corp would like to speak to you about your extended warranty on your star ship.

Also it was well armored for its size and durable

@@xSoulhunterDKx and the soft serve ice cream machine in the galley doesn't hurt either!

Razorcrest is actually very expensive

the ST-70 wasnt cheap, cause spare parts were rare. YT variants are better for most part. also depends on the job. Hauling stuff seems to be very lucrative in SW

A Ferrari also costs more than a van.

You'll find that's because the T-85 is a frontline Starfighter designed purpose built for combat, the Kom'rk while yes being a Mandalorian ship, is still just a transport it's akin to comparing a C-130 to a F-14. Difference in purpose and technology differs the price.

The Wild Karrde was a heavily modified Corellian Engineering Corp "Action VI" bulk freighter. A stock one runs about 200,000 cred new.

It's definitely my favorite for a fighter role, it's extremely small, fast and packs a punch, easy to maintain too. Could easily fit a few of these in a light freighter as the wings fold in making them extremely narrow.

The ‘Ghost’ (a VCX-100) is much larger than the YT-1300

i think it was pretty expensive even in mass production, but i have no clue how much it costs post cw

Plenty of internal room too if you want to use it like truck with a pop up camper in the bed...

@@26th_Primarch Exactly, personally i think its perfect

But would save in the maintenance and repair areas, being astroMECHS

I remember reading somewhere that adding a shield generator and a hyperdrive were the two most common after-market mods for the Z95. I had the impression that they were such common mods that it was kind of rare to find a Headhunter that _hadn't_ gotten the upgrades.

Big fan of the 1930 myself.

@@drewrub7415 Same here. I already have a merc crew of Star Wars OCs I've gotten from all over. They use a heavily modified 1930 with a specially built docking "hanger" below the engines for a rare Delta-7 Aethersprite 4-seater variant. Literally had to replace the original drive assembly with one from a wreck 2400 attached that onto the top of the hull AND had to remove part of the bottom hull to fit the docking area. Damn I need some cash to actually get art of it made...
