The sad part is, the Tector Star Destroyer makes perfect sense for a republic fleet, which would have Venators and it’s large Starfighter capacity. The Republic fleets were covered, when it comes to Starfighters, what they needed was flat out battleships designed to obliterate enemy vessels as rapidly as possible. The Empire needed each SD to carry Starfighters, mainly because they got rid of the Venators, so for them this ship made less sense, but it would have been great for the Republic
Hanger bays take up alot of Space as well so having a star destroyer to ditch the hanger in favor of more shields and point defense is logical in a fleet composition. The number one rule of war is: your going to get hit and you have to deal with it. That vessel is literally designed to take point and take hits for their more valuable and vulnerable vessels like the is which has no point defense that I'm aware and ties are the only "reliable" line of defense.
I can see it being used in a Carrier Strike Group role, where the Venator is the carrier, and the Tector and smaller, more durable ships were responsible for keeping the enemy away from the Venator, which would be vulnerable during starfighter launch and recovery. Additionally the Acclamators would be in some forces as the LST to get the army/marines onto a planet
@@rossponding exactly, the Venators had the starfighters covered, but really weren’t made to exchange broadsides with separatist forces, and should be in the back of the fleet mixed in with the Acclamators (and one the true sluggers showed up new Venators should have some of the heavy turbo lasers removed and that power used to add a bunch of anti Starfighter lasers.) That was the Tector and cruisers could engage the Separatist fleet, with the Venators starfighters and bombers, while the Acclamators are safe and protected by the Venators anti Starfighter defenses.
The Tector works great as a ship of the line, accompanied by carriers, like the Venator. But without a peer state competitor to trade blows with, it is just a big target for smaller craft. Which is why the design was modified into the Imperial class, with a sizable hanger bay in house.
I love the GX-1 Lantillian Shuttle It's the ship my protagonists in my novel fly - one of the early versions. Note that the diplomatic versions had that lower pod - which was a hyperdrive capable escape pod (unique even among diplomatic ship models) The ship is also has more space on the inside than you would think (Rebels got the interior wrong which is stupid because the ship was already established in canon via Clone Wars and had the proper size)
@@InventorZahran Unpublished so far. What I can say about it is that it is a realistic slice of life set (in other words, the protagonists are not protected by plot armour and their effect on the universe as a whole is limited so it does not contradict established lore) in the period from the foundation of the Galactic Empire to the end of it, and it will feature a pro-Empire perspective for the most part. I usually talk about it in the Falling Frontier discord (you can join the Writers Club there)
@@James_Molander HMU I’m writing a novel about a Grey Jedi Basically a youngling was being transported to Coruscant by Jedi to be admitted to the temple for training but Order 66 happened on route. He survives the ship’s destruction and is picked up by small group of Mandalorian smugglers. He is raised as a Mandalorian foundling until he starts to realise he is _different_ , his adopted Mandalorian father finally spills the beans on exactly how he was found. We now have a force sensitive Mandalorian teaching himself how to use the force but his Mandalorian creed keeps him from following the light and falling to the dark. Thus exists a true _Grey_ knight.
Nuclear weapons Balistic missiles Tanks with heat rounds Strike aircraft with agms and bombs Cruise missles Battle ships So many options to make it easy
When you overhaul the GX1 landing gear don't use a S. Florida based component overhaul company. They use old parts with new paint and unskilled Dolphin labor. With mine I just pay the extra credits and go with the OEM(Lantillian) or Corellia. Excellent warranty and high cycle usage. Gives me a peace of mind that I'll never have a jam or component failure again...
Alan you're misguided, but I can HELP. DOLPHINS are wonderful beings; majestic and awe inspiring. They HAVE nothing but the best of intensions toward humans. MY life has personally benefited from the benevolence of dolphins. Did you know that dolphins even support FAMILY values. PLEASE stop your dolphin slander. Alan let me, HELP you.
Allen, i really like this series on all these obscure ships, which some look interesting which i wish we saw on screen while others are and should be considered forgotten! LOL
Can you do a video on “Did Obi-Wan refuse to rat on Anakin’s relationship with Padme cuz of his own relationship with Duchess Satine?” ; it makes sense if you think about it, cuz on Obi-Wan’s part, it would’ve been hypocrisy if he did rat on Anakin. But at the same even tho not all the Jedi on the council suspected Anakin‘s relationship with Padme, Mace Windu and Yoda were suspicious, especially Yoda.
The Tector was a truly invaluable ship. Venators were horribly outgunned by even munificent wolf packs, while the Victory 1s and 2s struggled to engage the Providence and recusant dreadnought variants. Even the Imperators couldn’t just shrug off massed munificent either, though they could take a lot of them. The Tector was actually a very useful ship that solved a very serious issue for Republic forces.
Concussion missile. The best defense is blowing your attacker into little pieces. Short of that, putting big holes in their hull is a good second choice.
Yes, yes thats wonderful, ill be sure to check them out but I wonder...have you seen the latest Lower Decks episode? It has a pair that might be of.....interest......to you and your pro-humanity cause....
The tector class yes sense in a fleet full of multiple very specialized ships. It would take point with a few more of the same while venerators serve as carriers for fighters
Allen…Concussion Missile Launchers because… -The Citadel Class Civilian Cruiser…for the, “The best defense is a good offense”discerning starship owner- You must have missed this bullet point in the brochure. lol
Can we get a montage of all the best Humanity First moments???? Please this would be a advertisement for yourselfs but also I'm just lazy and don't want to hunt through the massive catalog of great content yall put out.
Should probably correct your spelling of the “maelstrom” class..... I’m sure wookiepedia spelled it correctly for you lol. And probably eckhartsladder too cuz you’re biting off him lol 😂
Wait was I stupid for just assuming the Star Destroyer just had hanger doors closed when the Falcon flew past? Open/closing Hanger doors makes way more sense then just 1 giant gaping hole. Like even real world hangers have sliding doors that close...... I know star wars fans are stupid but did yall really yell at the devs until they made a new ship?
Tector is a specialized ship, something that SW universe is often lacking. There are some carriers so it's natural to have specialized star destroyers that sacrifice fighter bay for more armor and firepower. Allegiance is basically a battleship/battlecruiser sized Tector and with a proper support it can tear battlegroups apart. In a combat scenario with fleet vs fleet you want something like Tector to lead into the battle behind a few Lancer frigates to both dish out and absorb damage, perhaps even lure enemy bombers just to have a few smaller carriers behind to surprise them. Rebels had a similar ship, Wingless MC80 Liberty. We don't know much about this ship but I think it has no hangar at all.
With all the information I have found the Mandator Class Super Dreadnought is 8km and Maelstrom Super Dreadnought is 1.2km so I don't think it's the biggest ship not sure about if the sizes are cannon.
The GX-1 (not sure why they're all classified as the GX-1, it's pretty clear there are at least 2 versions) is probably my favorite Star Wars ship (with the Ghtroc Freighter as a close second). Sad that you only seemed to throw it on at the last second.
I. Been pitching this idea at eckheartladerr. For a while but I think he hates StarCraft. But think you could do a universal crossover or vs between the StarCraft Terran battle cruisers. Vs Battlestar Galactica, battlestarss
Watched the latest Lower Decks episode. The sex crazed dolphins were funny. On this range though, it strikes me that we don't see the Dreadnaught on screen enough. They were supposed to be the backbone of the Old Republic but there never seems to be enough of them around.
