Star Wars: Acclamator Class Assault Ship - Ship Breakdown 

It has a hyperdrive of 0.6...! It's almost as fast as the millennium falcon.

Useful for transport a good amount of cargo aka troops, and it has a powerful armament that can effectively fend off any pirates or rebel scum vessels like the CR90 Corvette...

@Anzu Wyliei Thats why they kept it.

TheBraveGallade it has a 0.6 hyperspace speed!?!? That’s crazy I can only imagine how a tactician like thrawn could abuse that. Especially since the acclamator could be considered a boarding craft. Imagine having interdictors set up and having an acclamator hyperspace right above a mon calamari cruiser and just drop thousands of stormtroopers in there and leave immediately before they even realize what happened.

The Venator was scrapped mainly because it did not fit well with the Empires naval doctrine. Relying on Capital Ship firepower instead of vast quantities of fighters. The Venators hanger configuration would have also been less than ideal for the new Tie Fighters being introduced into the fleet. Other ships like the Acclamator fulfilled a specific niche within the Imperial Military and thus was kept in service for far longer.

I just read dead that with a clone voice in my head.

We technically never see the full fate of the vessel. We see one of the engine units get blown to pieces and ship begin to list downward, but the scene cuts to the dropships before we can see if the ship was able to recover with emergency booster engines.

Angus Jameson true and we don’t know how long it has been barraged by cannon fire as well. It could’ve been multiple shells hitting the hull of that ship

I doubt the Venator would have fared Much better.

Agreed, its like a smaller Venator

How could anyone hate the acclamator ?! It’s absolutely adorable.

It's a great design, that's why the empire couldn't wait to desecrate it.

its the workhorse of the Republic and later Imperial fleet XD

It only seems like it was overlooked quickly, but as we see with the clone wars tv show they were used extensively to besiege planets.

Yep. That's an inconsistency on their part, the lore states no windows. I guess maybe they could be running lights or something, but it's clearly just a mistake.

Those were lighting panels. for target practice..... lol

@@Spacedock Decoys.

@@Spacedock clearly it's to trick the enemy into thinking they have windows so they waste time trying to target them.

I guess it's just the designer wanting the bridges to be like those from IRL warships

You ever played the Rise of the Rebellion mod? It's almost an entirely new game!

I'll look into that

Lol, see it was always the opposite with me. I'd rush Victory's and ISDs, the whole time defending against swarms of Nebulon B and Assault Frigate's. When you get Interdicter's there's nothing the rebels can do to break through! Except spam artillery, those rocket trucks are so OP.

accountnumber90 redundancy also really the only reason why to have an exposed bridge is if sensors go down and the pilots can still steer by sight

If the window has no need for bridges, why even put the window there in the first place?

I like the fact that despite the bridge being devoid of windows there is a huge window on the front of the bridge module clearly visable in all the front on shots.

It's a design flaw, they are so used to having windows over thousands of years they didn't take full advantage of the possibilities of the holotech. What is even more stupid is they went back to vulnerable windows on the Imperial Star Destroyers, that can be taken out by a out of control A-Wing. But yes, having an internal bridge is superior, not only from the perspective of protecting the command crew and removing the opportunity to decapitate the ship, but improving the aerodynamics and allowing more armour by streamlining the hull. Still they're not the only ones, while not as bad, Starfleet ships tend to have their bridge on top of the saucer section, even though they use viewers. The only exception is the Defiant.

Probably for the added BIG DICK ENERGY

The ending to that level was satisfying, if I remember. The guns come back online and you destroy some Separatist battleship.

@@galacticreggie yeap 1 crippled ship and a fully operational one destroy a battle ship

we have exposed bridges irl, but also bridges deeper into the ship for more dangerous engagements. good to have redundancy.

@@AdamantLightLP That does not explain why the external one is always used as the primary bridge, or why it has to be on top of a tower. In IRL having a bridge tower is advantageous because it gives the captain a better line of sight at sea, which is hardly relevant in space engagements. Whichever way you look at it, it's hopelessly impractical.

You're thinking of something like the Andromeda in terms of bridge placement?

@@karlthebarbarian9875 Not sure which one you're referring to, but think Battlestar or Expanse. In the Expanse, for example, the Donnager-class battleship has several CIC/bridge modules, each one in the form of a small airtight bunker, all in the middle of the ship so they're surrounded by as much plating and hull as possible.

@@PanzerYeena Well, either of those makes more sense compared to the Acclamator design, so I agree with you on that. The one I refered to was the Andromeda Ascendant from the series Andromeda, it has a similar concept in terms of bridge placement.

Eveey SW warship is armoured with neutronium, and it does jackshit to capital grade firepower. Once shilds are down, we never see ships hold together.

Well they did have battleships/battlecruisers like the maelstrom class, praetor, preator II, and capital ships like the victory class, among others.

I think it could probably hold quite a few star fighters, but i don't think it's built to open its bay doors in space. It didn't have that forcefield most hangars are shown to have

scifi writter have ne sense of scale for how big space is. 40k is about the mainstream scifi property that gives reasonable numbers for troops and they intended for it to be over the top and ridiculously huge. take coruscant just going off surface area the 1 trillion population would make have less people per square kilometer than new York now take into account the buildings are high enough they need life support on the upper floors and they shade out the surface completely and with the numbers given and you'd rarely see another living soul which doesn't line up at all with the movies portrayal. even Asimov and the foundation books really low balled the population of a city spanning planet. you can also look at star destroyers which have utterly tiny crews when scaled up from a real navel ship. modern carrier tends to hold 64 planes on average and can hold as many as 90 depending on the aircraft a star destroyer despite being over twice the size and having fighter meant to be disposable swarm craft has a comparable 72

That number written by Karen Travis is not true and factually in accurate. Donot give any credence to the republic commando books they are straight trash

@@vonfaustien3957 with the star destroyers the the crew numbers aren't that small, 37-38 thousand crew (not counting nearly 10 thousand stormtroopers acting as an embarked marine force) scales up from an aircraft carrier a bit on the high side. Also keep in mind the ISD is primarily a battleship with a small fighter carrying capacity for self defence rather than being a dedicated carrier designed to project a powerful fighter force to an area. A better comparison for modern carriers would be against the Venator class ships with a capacity of 416 fighters and has a quarter of the volume of the ISDs.

@@tachy1801 that too

The ridiculously low number for clones comes from a low canon tier book by a hack named Karen Traviss, and is not supported by any other source. Its not canon.

Concussion missiles were that anti-star-fighter weapons that you asked for. And it served as a light frigate in its secondary role, given lack of dedicated ships of the class (effect of having GAR built in secrecy). It really makes perfect sense, as it has all the weapons needed to clear-up the landing zone that have a dual-use in a space combat.

SkywalkerWroc The turbo lasers would be useless and the concussion missiles wouldn’t really be good starfighter defense while the Acclamator is grounded (fulfilling its primary function). I get the whole multiuse because of secrecy but that doesn’t mean you can’t reconfigure the same spaceframe to serve dedicated functions. It would be a better frigate if it wasn’t intended to land heavy equipment and that space was used for more weapons and shields. It would be a better lander if some of the heavy spacebased weapons were changed out for lighter support weapons and the extra interior space used for more troops and equipment. Like I said, I like the ship, the design is solid. But why make 10 mediocre frigate/lander hybrids when you can make basic modifications to the exact same design and get 3 excellent mobile fortresses and 7 spectacular frigates. As it is, it’s like putting a supercharged street racing engine in a four-dour Civic sedan. The Civic is great at being either a performance vehicle or a practical sedan but it wouldn’t do both very well at the same time but you can economically use the same frame to fill two different functions

What's cool is that Fractalsponge introduced the Proclamator Star Destroyer that is very close to the Acclamator but slightly bigger and more armed for ship combat, just recently.

When you have them jumping from battle to battle, they need to be able to drop troops or bombard at a moment's notice.

The Acclamator does have AA defense. In Legends it has 24 point defense laser cannons.

KingSkeletor yes yes it is

KingSkeletor Nah, the Arquitens is the real munchkin

Little babey star destroyer lol

I never got a battlecruiser impression from these. The closest analogue I can think of would be amphibious assault ships like an LSD but with a larger caliber deck gun...

Its a landing ship with a limited armament for self defwnce and orbital bombardmen. An LHD or CVL are better analouges.

I love the Sova and the Halcyon. Beautiful carriers.

And the Babylon 5 Station

It does pretty well in the base game

@@kingjonstarkgeryan8573 In the base game totally. It's got long range weapons and a bomber complement that make it exceptional as an escort for the more expensive destroyers

@@Galdenberry_Lamphuck Lmao RAW should be renamed "Venator at War" But to be fair it comes mainly from TCW where the only capable ships the Republic has are Venator.

@delta 4684 I typically edit in a large fighter complement, double its weapon hardpoints, while weakening its shields to make it a dedicated carrier that packs a mean punch. I do the same thing to the victory's weapons while weakening the venators complement. Thus the venator is a pricey but versatile in between ship that serves between the specialized early game ones. I also always get rid of all shields in the game because it makes battles way bloodier and more fun

First thing I did on my system was mod Acclamators to launch 3 large squadrons of V-19's equipped with lasers and missiles, and a small squadron of Delta-7s with rapid fire lasers and "Lure", both with reinforcements. At Tech 5, they get a medium squadron of ARC-170s to replace a V-19. Next, I set the warhead hard points to use Weapon Swap to fire either concussion missiles, or proton torpedoes. Then, set up point defense lasers and quad turbolasers to port and starboard. The extra hard points give it survivability to launch fighters and meet a frigate on equal terms Power to Shields. They get to be a pain when more than 3 show up with Dreadnought support. AI loves spamming them.

Best level in the game.

J C some mech videos would be really cool

@@codename1176 yeah!

The Acclamator was made of paper compared to dedicated warships.The Neutronium.was standard on all KDY capitals.

@@ineednochannelyoutube5384 maybe but I've only seen it mentioned as being a feature of the Acclamator. And that it's Durability was it's only strength. As it's Firepower was lacking.

@@richardched6085 The Acclamator wasnt a porpouse built ship of the line, so that really would not be suprising.

@Rob With One B I'm aware of the Nevoota Bee. It is a very good example of what the chassis is capable of with only comparatively slight modifications.

It makes me wish they had continued the idea of the Victory-class Star Destroyer which, in Legends, was the main cruiser of the Republic during the Clone Wars. The Venator is cool and all, but is better served as a carrier rather than a cruiser. The Victorys should have been the ships doing the heavy fighting while the Venators deployed squadrons and Acclamators landed troops and acted as surface bases. Later on the Victory and Venators would be combined into the Imperial-class to serve as both battleship and carrier.

@@VegetaLF7 You're absolutely right, in Legend the Republic fleet was fairly balanced between Victory's, Venator's, Acclamator's I and II and various frigates like dreadnoughts. The clone wars TV Show destroyed that by making the Venators capable of doing all and everything which never really made sense when you look at its weapons.
