>moving cargo across the galaxy
>pirates attack you
>get to the destination with more cargo than you started with
Suddenly encounter pirate cruiser.......a cargo ship that modified with many turret and a lot I mean a lot of small pirate converter escort........ok time to hit the hyperspace........
Damn lol
Beast 😆
This reminds me of the game Freelancer... I had a heavily armed hauler... And some bad reputation.. Good money with the cargo, great money with the obtained weapons..
Troop transport capability, check.
Vehicle transport capability check.
Close air support capability, check.
Conversion to a support base... Check.
This thing was designed to be a warship from the beginning.
Best suited for landing operations and forging a beach head.

@Marley Elian Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Marley Elian It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
who thinks this would be a great replacement for the Razercrest in the Mandolorian?
yeah it would fit him perfectly
Definitely an major upgrade for Mando himself. R.I.P Razercrest you beautiful ship
Yes
It'd be huge though, like way more space than he needs
I actually chose this to be my Mandalorian's ship.
I actually like this Ship more than the falcon.
-Get a droid crew(3)
-Convert one of the four quarters into a recharge/repair station for them. Leaving the three other rooms open to redesign.
-Possibly leave two alone for Captain quarters and guest quarters.
-And lastly modify the last room to be a *BATHROOM!!!*
If you look at the sides of the quarters there seem to be bathrooms xD
KarolusTemplareV True but it looks like just a toilet, I mean a full bathroom.
-Shower
-Toilet
-Sink/wash area
From the semantic the bathrooms resemble Airline bathrooms.
If I was living/working on that I’d want something abit nicer.
Just saying
@@Kamen_Hammer It is possible those are simply the symbol ? meaning it's an WC with other things.
KarolusTemplareV true
@@Kamen_Hammer/videos its probably a setup like on the serenity in firefly, toilet sink and shower all in one
This seems too practical for Star Wars xD
I like it and so far i have hated a lot of things so far that disney has done
Yeah, I think it's really cool.
Well it does have that weirdly split cargo bay. Even the YT-1300 has a better layout as far as that is concerned.
Yeah, they need to move the cockpit to the side of the ship and maybe add a hyperdrive that breaks down randomly.
Endless Waffles Crom laughs at you
Getting robed by the Rebels?
With this thing you could rob the Rebels themselves.
You could even rob lightly guarded imperial shipments with just one of these. I can't even imagine the damage a whole fleet of these things could do.
shadowslayer205 I can... That thing alone could do as much damage as a couple of corvettes.
@@AAhmou It has turbolasers! Anything smaller than the Tantive IV will be pasted in a single shot!
@@MachineMan-mj4gj Are there such thing as light turbolasers? I find it very hard to believe a ship this small could have the firepower of a star destroyer.
@@jackrutledgegoembel5896 The Essential Guides and visual dictionaries have it as a pretty well established feature of technology that turbolasers are too big, too energy hungry, and run too hot to mount on anything that does not qualify as capital ship. I think this was a writer not knowing the difference between a laser cannon and a turbolaser, and thinking "turbolaser" just meant, "bigger than normal laser cannon."
Tie Fighters will still somehow miss a ship that is nicknamed “The Flying Brick”
Well a seven foot tall super-soldier in green power armor with no maneuvering thrusters is a hard target to hit... Oh wait you were talking about that ship my bad.
@@26th_Primarch heyyyyy
@@hermeister3870 rofl...
Christian Blanchard I got it
This ship is extra thicc
I would pick this over the YT-1300
same
Smaller ground footprint, stronger hull, more cargo capacity and better able to deal with pirates, hell yes. You could park 2 of these in a hangar that would barely fit a YT-1300. :)
not much cargo so not much use for smuggler.
@@JeanLucCaptain I think you missed the part when they tell us it carries 50 more tons than the Falcon, the Iconic Star Wars YT-1300 smuggler's ship. And for a Smuggler even a Z-95 would work if the cargo was valuable enough...
And it's fast in normal space/atmosphere, you could outrun most ships, including official ones. What would be interesting is what upgrades could be done, the obvious is better hyperdrive. But could it be made faster and given a Millennium Falcon style handling pack and real space speed boost ?
The one modification I would definitely make though is to move (or add) the main guns to turrets mounted on the side or top and bottom, for better coverage.
This is not that crazy. Early US merchants would arm their ships with cannons to fight pirates. Same concept.
A modern day example (as there is better variety of weapon levels) of this ship would be arming a small cargo ship with 120mm / 76mm guns like modern destroyers, and Cruise Missiles. When cannons are the only thing, yeah, everyone had cannons. When cruise missiles are also a thing, that's not just put on anything. Remember, this thing has the starwars equivalent of cruise missiles / torpedoes (depending on how you look at it).
But I do see your point.
@@epion660 concussion missiles are not cruise missiles / torpedoes, they are small anti starfighter missiles, its equivalent would be something like the RIM-166 or AIM-120 depending on which vessel is using it.
@@UzayOzel Oh fair enough, sorry my bad.
@@UzayOzel 120s are for planes not ships
_" When cannons are the only thing, yeah, everyone had cannons. When cruise missiles are also a thing, that's not just put on anything."_
The thing is, cannons are relatively cheap when it comes to the weapon itself and to the ammo it uses. Also, they are usually quite easy to maintain. Cruise missiles are not. They are insanely expensive, high maintenance and they require a high number of skilled crew members in order to maintain and operate them. Also, they are not exactly easy to come by.
But then again, why would you use something like a cruise missile when cheap guns that are easy to operate and to maintain will do the job just fine? Remember, that thing already has turbo lasers, which means it packs a _massive_ punch, missiles or not.
And the US Air Force is starting to use small propeller-driven planes for certain tasks again. Why sending an extremely complicated and expensive jet fighter when a small propeller plane can do the same job for only a fraction of the money and with only a fraction of the crew that is required and maybe can even do it better?
I vote this as the NEW SHIP FOR MANDALORIAN.
Which mandalorian?
@@TheFagerlund mandalorian
"Freighter" ... yeah, okay, funny way of saying PT Boat.

Take out those fucking PT Boats!

@stev
Halo reverences
I fell in love with this ship when I first saw it in the Age of Rebellion book, way back when.
Saw the writing on the wall, took out a considerable loan from the Hutts, and bought one before they were banned. Even got all the right paperwork, so stops were less painful. 'Course, it helped that I usually had a few Rebel scum in the 'ol prison bay to get across exactly whose side I was on. Guess I bet on the wrong gundark, though. Not many that look too favourably on Imperial Loyalists after the revolution.
Well, with that armament it isnt a freighter; its a light warship. And with that price? With an active galactic wide civil war going on? Yeah it will be banned from being sold.
When i heard about the twin double turbo laser turrets, on its tiny 22 meter frame, I was thinking the same, and THEN came all the other stuff…
Yeah, why the fuck it's called a freighter? It's a fucking assault gunboat. Even the nonsense 'defense' argument is dumb, it's optimized to do hit and fade runs against someone running from you, so a perfect pirate craft, while being completely defenseless everywhere but the front. The question is not why it was banned, but why it wasn't confiscated on sight...
@@KuK137 It still has a lot of cargo room. And I suspect CEC managed to hide its existence as a gunboat by calling it a freighter until it was released to the public.
@@thomasscroggs3080 idk looks like half the ships space at max is cargo and that is tiny compared to any real world cargo capacity I can imagine, it's like calling a passenger plane a freighter.
@@NoOnesBCE Alright, for a Star Wars Light Freighter that is a pretty decent amount of cargo room. Light Freighters, aka Tramp Freighters, are basically the Utility Van of the Star Wars world. Cheap enough for an individual to afford them, and modestly capable, but only as long as you don't compare it to anything bigger. Medium Freighters could carry multiples of this ship in their cargo bay and have room to spare.
I actually like the look and capabilities of this.
What EXACTLY would a group of rebels actually need with my cargo containing only 150 tons of copies of the movie “Click”?
When I think of this ship. I think the rebels would use it as a light dropship. It is able to get in, land, drop off troops and equipment, and leave in a short amount of time. It could also provide close air support in certain situations.
I would love to fly this.
Pirates "hand over your cargo, or DIE!"
Me "LoL! Hold my beer!"
*turbolazer turning pirate vessel into a abstract painting of the death star 2 present day*
For a brick it flew pretty good, also this is my favorite ship in Star Wars
I love how compact but deadly this thing is, I want to see more of it
Another ship with bathroom.
Come here straight from Space Dock?
Well you see, in the Star Wars new new canon, you don’t need bathrooms, because the mediclorians feed of your waste.
So the more powerful a Jedi or Sith you are, the more full of “it” you are ;)
That also happens to be why only living things have mediclorians... ;)
@@jesperohlrich Wait, did this become cannon? I remember that joke from years ago.
USS Prinz Eugen hehe I hope not, I was referring to the joke that was going around a few years ago :)
The front reminds me of that frigate from the episode 1 opening
Same
You mean the Consular-class cruiser, right ?
@@CaptainM792 I'm pretty sure he does.
Not surprising, same manufacturing company.
Theres a lot of frigates with similar looking fronts
I like this ship although I would delete the ion cannons on the front for two gun blisters on the top and bottom. It would literally provide a 360 degree field of fire with all weapons. I like to judge Star Wars ships based on how well they can attack and/or defend themselves from multiple threats.
Both, both
I wish there were more information out there about the Wayfarer-Class Medium Transport/Freighter.
It seems like a really cool from both a concept and design standpoint, but measurements like height are completely absent, and (in the original floor-plan) the scale of objects within the ship are... troublesome, while the engines apparently take up no space at all.
Would've made a good boarding craft for the rebels, a trio could disable light imperial ships and teams could move in to engage
Or going planet side to drop troops and armor for forging a beach head.
Actually if you just add another cargo compartment between the engines in the cockpit now you've got all the room in the world for dual Shields extra lasers extra torpedoes and extra bunks you could probably make a larger medbay as well.
According to Specs it's a little shorter than the Millennium Falcon so if you added extra cargo bay it would be right about the same length as the falcon put some better engines on it put a better hyperdrive with the aforementioned weapons and Shields and now you have a very very serious gunboat.
The best freighter for me even better than the yt 1300
As always quality content :) still waiting for that mandalore vid ^^ xD
got pulled over by the imperial navy in one of these, quoted the 2nd amendment LOL.
I really like how you show where to get source material, very helpful for all of us MetaNerdz.
This would be my ship 🙂
You should cover transfer essence, bro
I like Corellian ship design, ugly but functional
I like this ship it's can be cozy (Something's wrong with me )
@@jayvhoncalma3458 I would take one in a heartbeat
Are you calling the outrider,Hunk of junk and Ghost ugly?Is that a joke?Are you braindead?Have you been living in wild space?those designs are beautiful!!
@@randominternetguy88 the uglier the ship the more beautiful it is.
@@randominternetguy88 outrider is ugly asf, my ships have to be symmetrical
they took inspiration from the chief. for a brick he flew pretty good
Makes me want to buy the ship
It looks similar to a Consular Class Cruiser
M Lau are you the Justin Y. of SW videos? I see your comments on every SW video I watch 😂
Knowing CEC, it probably shared a number a parts with a consular.
Imperial Security Bureau Who is Justin Y ?
Lol Justin Y. is this legendary commenter who always has top-rated comments on seemingly 50% of videos you'll watch. He's made a bit of a following from it. Look him up for more info.
It's been a month, you should know him by now M Lau. So you found out who Justin Y is?
This is perfect for rebels. Fast and hits REALLY hard. 3 of these could bully an Arquitens. Only modification I'd make is move the ion cannon to a turret on the ventral or dorsal side
since I first saw the art for this thing a while back it has been one of my favorite freighters. Another great video as always. Keep up the great work and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
Yeah it has a lot of firepower for its size, but almost all of it is in the form of fixed, forward facing, cannons. Where are the moving turrets? Freighters don't get attacked from the front. If it gets attacked from behind all it has are a few missiles, and if it's attacked from the side... SOL.
This thing isn't built to defend, but to attack. Its like it was custom built for pirates and rebels. Its fast and can deliver a lot of firepower to something ahead of it, preferably small capital ships... its a hit-n-run attack freighter.
I really wonder what the designers for Star Wars were thinking sometimes, all the ships have such glaring issues. Like exposed bridges, huge blind spots, no weapons on the bottom, no weapons on the back, no point-defense on capital ships, etc. Its like they didn't realize that they are operating in a 3 dimensional battlefield.
I like to think that exposed bridges and no weapons on the bottom is a kind of thing that everyone just can't figure out too well in universe. The real life reason is because space combat was supposed to invoke the feeling of ww2 and earlier naval combat. Guns and bridge on top of ship, torpedoes launched from planes (starfighters).
Ah, so that's why we never got a combat-modified version of the Type-7 Transporter in Elite: Dangerous!
It went to Star Wars instead!
Cheaper too lol
The front looks a bit like the consular class...
Built by the same corporation that designed and built the Consular.
Thieving rebels question: yes, if I knew they were using whatever they stole for the rebellion
I've been hoping to find something like this on the channel, THIS is the kind of ship I would want!!! I want this as much as the Slave 1
I’m new to the channel, and I just love the different kinds of measurementss.
Hey that's awesome welcome to the channel. That is one of the things people like most, almost every ship and vehicle vid will have stuff like that
I love the freighter videos so please keep them coming
Thanks for the video, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Great video this ship is cool and awesome.
Honestly the best TH-cam channel out there
After careful consideration, this may be my new favorite SW ship. The old was probably the N-1. If I could take 5 sw vehicles home, they would be this ship; all weapons would be for defense. Next is the N-1, preferably with astromech. It would be for if I want to show off. Third is a more human friendly version of the STAP. 4th definitely the LA-AT. It would be nice to have removable chairs and racks with tie downs. Both could have an interchangeable lock in system; chairs for more passengers, racks for transporting small things and empty for large items like furniture (it might need a way to deal with the aforementioned system). Ok, the 5th vehicle would be the AT-TE. Obviously for most of these I would want a crew of some kind, but non-vehicles to bring back is a different story.
great video... nice work!
So cool. Thanks MetaNerdz. I thought that ship was familiar. I'm glad it was brought back into mainstream Canon.
Thanks to you people find many interesting things in SW
Realy like your content and just subbed.
Awesome!! Happy Thanksgiving 👍☯️👍
The YV-560 looks dope!
My favorite ship!!! What in RPG this ship saved me and the crew uncountable times!!
Dam, this ship is thicc and is very well armed. I liked it cause it looks like a freighter version of the Consular-Class Cruiser. Great video fam!
Wow, I didn’t know this ship existed, but now I really like it!
Always looking for the next prop for some fanfiction or RPG. Thanks.
Seems like a good pirate ship. Enough weapons to arm a small fleet, enough cargo space to steal valuables and fast engines and hyperdrive to get away quickly.
Woah that looks cool.
Another fine addition to my fictional fleet
For a brick, she flew really good!
Love it, got to write up some stats.
Great content
Smart simple and straight to the point the 3 axiom S's any military personnel emphasize and love.
A lot of star fighters and ships used ion cannons as well as tabana gas laser weapons. But what if you shoot an actual person or being with an ion cannon or weapon?
They'd likely suffer horrific burns and have their nervous system fried from the electrical discharge.
Well, if you shoot them with an ion cannon, it has the same effect as shooting someone with anything big enough to be called a cannon, namely that person scattering in all directions.
For a handheld ion weapon, I would assume its the equivalent of a taser that also burns your skin
Y'know that movie district nine it would be like that
They’d probably get vaporised just from the raw energy
That's a badass looking freighter
This is what a practical freighter looks like.
few modifications on the internallayout and relocation of turbolasers (duel bubble on dorsal and ventral sides) youd have 1 hell of a gunship/armed troop transport
Honestly if I would come across rebels while flying this freighter I would open fire immediately, considering that their not much better than criminals in regards to pirating. Furthermore, they're one of the main reasons for imperial crackdowns and heightened security and difficulty navigating the trade lanes
Tough little ship.
Little?
@@Boxfortress someone got the reference.
little? -Worf Star Trek first contact.
:D
?
This is the type of freighter where whenever pirates tries to rob it, the pirates ends up being the ones getting robbed and killed
It's so beautiful I love it
Nice I definitely want one.
The best part about your videos are the comparisons with price/lengths. Bonus points when you use ewoks and wookies😂😂
Perfect 👍
My Favorit 😀
Still one of my fav ships to this day
I want one. It gives me so many ideas.
I love this ship! I'd definitely have one of these 🤩
Favorite ship. I used this for my ship in a star wars rpg.
When Corellia gives me the option to pick modules to get this thing like I want it I'll be sold
This would be the ship I would want to have. Good storage, good survivability, and good damage output
Always wondering how the SW "freighters" are supposed to fit any cargo in. These have about as much cargo space as a modern truck. Even the smallest coastal freighters will carry 20x as much. Not good for much else than smuggling.
Yeah it's always odd
Seems like the perfect kind of runner. Armored, armed, and decently fast.
Wow, this has to be the most practical star wars ship I have ever seen, lol
I used this thing as a dropship for a mando group in a game I was in once. Fun times.
Seems like you could use the ship as a heavy assault landing craft, utilizing the cargo bay and rear ramp for troops, vehicles, and equipment. This also would provide cover for disembarking troops, due to the shields and forward weapons.
The design of this makes sense.
That ships is very nice looking, in my opinion!
Your units of measurements amuses me.
Ugly you say? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and it is a very practical design, discarding sweeping frills and soaring lines in favor of a compact minimalist hull design that makes full use of the interrior space.
I'd love a similar story on the XS-800, the mini Blockaderunner.
Love the ship its so cool! =D
I actually like how this one looks, honestly looks better than all the other ones.
It might be a "Flying brick" but hell does that look like it would be a fun ship to own
brick shaped ships are a meta in space sandbox games, easier to build and maintain.
OMG this is my new fav frighter
Sounds like a bounty hunters dream ship
fast enough to match anything but a racing ship, enough firepower to arm a small fleet and space for dozens of holding cells.
Yup, id take that.
I love this ship, especially it's look
