They needed more carriers as their drone fighters could be launched in thousands from a small vessel compared to biggest republic and imperial carriers launching 7-8 dozens at max.

    As a maritime history buff, whenever I hear about sci fi battlecruisers being slow or plodding or anywhere near the archetypical "mighty glacier" I shudder. What defined them in real life was comparatively higher speed over their contemporary battleship cousins. Often achieved by thinning armor protection and upping engine power.

      Not to mention cruisers, destroyers, sometimes frigates... I get that these people didn't study naval hierarchy, but just quickly looking into common ship capabilities and roles could've given a much more interesting depth of ships to many sci fi franchises. Star Wars does seem to sometimes try to fix this, but overall it's a "problem" across much of sci fi

      @@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser You're playing damage control Resurgent. You know that freighter was hit countless times, but somehow resisted the firepower of a ship that wrecked a corellian corvette in no time. That freighter is protected by an armor from Elsewhere, a ship that you were unable to prevent from reaching orbit and leave the system, might I had, despite the fact two of your TIEs were in close air support mission on site, and the freighter was hijacked by a slow ass heavy cargo ship that stayed in orbit for something like 15 minutes straight, while it was getting boarded by pirates.
      Oh, and that TIE you shut down? It was piloted by _your_ prisoner, who escaped thanks to _your_ traitor, and who was able to easily destroy almost all of one section of your broadside battery: someone forgot to design hull-tight shields for you. What a shame. I have no trouble believing you actually _couldn't_ catch that Mon Cal, since you didn't even bother to try when you met her first, despite the fact you outnumbered her already, and she was standing there, stationary above her base. You didn't even fire one turbolaser in her direction. What kind of Destroyer are you? A Shy Destroyer? You've got some nice weaponry on paper but all we've seen so far is a TIE that you needed two missiles to wreck, and who destroyer about a dozen of your batteries in one row. Pretty underwhelming that's for sure.
      Momma Imperial isn't impressed: she can bombard planets on her own, she's as fast as the Millenium Falcon, tracking that thing down for days without sweating. It takes a freaking asteroid field for days to kill her. She tears through corvettes and frigates in seconds when they don't have plot armour. She never had any of her crew deserting in mission. No fighter was ever able to destroy any or her batteries without taking out the shields first. She flown dozens of TIEs hurling towards her enemies, while you seem to have to respect a rule that forces you to launch only 4 TIEs in a row, no more. What a joke for a battlecruiser with so many hangar bays. It really looks like you are better at posing than acting.

      The only reason everyone calls Mon Calamari ships the best in Star Wars is that the Givins’ ships are so sidelined, I don’t think we have the name of a single Givin ship model. For those who don’t know, the Givin are a species from Legends who come from a planet where tidal forces cause the atmosphere to pool up in certain places, creating a vacuum on much of the planet’s surface. The Givin can survive in a vacuum for a short time, but they also have to use math to predict when they will have air, making them a very math-savvy species. They eventually started applying their mastery of math to shipbuilding, creating starships that at least rivaled Mon Calamari engineering.

    In my Star Wars Fanon universe, I created a modified ISD-1 Star Destroyer that could take on a good sized fleet and still come out on top. The ship’s name was the Thunderbolt, and while a large part of its success came from the tactical genius of its commander, Commodore Lorth Vize, it was still armored and armed at a level far enough past the typical Star Destroyer to give it the title of battlecruiser, in my opinion.

      Upon his promotion to Admiral, Vize received a new ship, the Emperor’s Fury, but this ship, an Ultima-class flagship, the only ship in its class in my Fanon universe, would be categorized as a dreadnought in the Imperial Navy, as it was slightly larger than an Executor-class, with a massive, mile-long minigun that could be deployed from the underside, a weapon Vize affectionately refers to as “the Peacekeeper.”

    The Resurgent-class Star Destroyer is a fast and agile ship. It could travel even faster than a First Order TIE Fighter if need be, however, such speed came at the cost of maneuverability. At top speeds, the ship needed a lot of counter-thrust, for even the smallest maneuver, thus in the hands of a reckless commander, the Resurgent could find itself out of control and even destroyed. The ship required the most experienced commanders in order to be piloted appropriately.

    Everyone rips on the First Order just because the new movies aren't popular, but really their technology outpaces pretty much all competition. Their ships and vehicles are excellent and their training program seems like it's nearly on par with what the Kaminoans used. Not to mention that they have intelligently redesigned Imperial assets to maintain a level of psychological warfare. Really I think their only flaw is that they train their officers with a little too much zeal, which makes them very overconfident

    How would a confrontation/fight between the Nebula Star Destroyer and Starhawk Battleship turn out? And which is more well designed?

    • @nicholaswong6737
      @nicholaswong6737 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Justin Trujillo the Nebula is better designed/more powerful. The Nebula was created way later in the Legends NR era, and had better firing arcs, better shielding, and better fighters. Assuming The Starhawk had the same shield generators as the ISD (because the starhawk was literally thrown together with ISD parts) then the shielding on the Nebula would be vastly better. The starhawk also was active during 6-7 ABY, which meant it still carried rebel fighters, (A wing, Xwing Ywing probably no Bwings) if it even had a hangar, while the Nebula carried the next generation fighters (Ewing, Defender, Kwing T75 Xwing, J-Stealth Xwing). The 80 turbos, 20 Ion cannons and 10 concussion missile launchers are easily more firepower than the Starhawk could feasibly have. The only advantage the Starhawk could have is the stronger tractor beam, but that would probably be no effect in this fight. (The only reason a starhawk was able to pull down a SSD was because an entire fleet destroyed the engines, secondary engines, and it had a huge gravity assist from the planet of Jakku) I doubt it can normally pull a capital ship the size of a Nebula down normally without all those factors.

    Battle cruisers in classic navy doctrine were ships armored like a heavy cruiser with cruiser speed but the guns of a battleship (a star destroyer). The idea was they would engage cruisers and hunt them down but run if faced with a battleship. The only time they would engage a battleship was in support of other friendly battleships. When they would go it alone you would have massive losses like the HMS Hood to the Bismarck. The idea in the Star Wars universe (as well as many others) that a battlecruiser was the biggest thing out there is just insane.

    For those wondering, in real life a battlecruiser was sort of a middle ground between the battleship and heavy cruiser. A battlecruiser was well-armed and armored, but not quite as well as a proper battleship. However, it made up for this by being much faster than a battleship. It could wreck anything on the sea except a battleship, which it could easily outrun.
    ...Then aircraft carriers became a thing and ruined all of the cool ship types.

These treaties in turn limit british naval capacity for ww2 making it harder to eliminate german ships which were secretly built that broke treaty rules.

  • @thearisen7301
    @thearisen7301 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would argue a battlecruiser in the RL sense would make tons of sense for the Empire. IRL battlecruisers were generally meant as anti-cruiser ships or to have a capital ship present when a battleship isn't available or able to do the job. Basically you make a ship that has the speed of a cruiser and has either the armor of a BB or the weaponry of a BB, or in this case a dreadnought.
    A ship that is able to keep up with or chase down smaller ships (like the Rebellion favored) but still outgun or be too tough for them would be the bane of the republic. Just imagine a ship able to chase down and destroy anything, including Mon Cal cruisers 1v1 but able to run away from anything that outguns it which is only the rare dreadnought.
    They need less crew and are cheaper to make so Dreadnoughts like the SSD can be used for defending key installations/planets or assaulting the most heavily defended planets while battlecruisers could be used to patrol hot zones, lead groups of SDs, escort interdictor cruisers and destroy what they catch, due to their speed they can be an emergency response force or lead one, etc.
    Imagine if the Interdictor was actually a battlecruiser? Instead of being a relatively weak ship that needs defending it would be more powerful than most ships except for the larger Mon Cal cruisers. I'd argue such a ship would be about as perfect an anti-rebellion ship as one could get. Especially with a good complement of fighters and anti fighter turrets.

    The battlecruiser concept in naval architecture has always been a hybrid one: Outrun dreadnaughts and outgun cruisers and other similar caputal ships. BCs in the British and US Navies were intended to operate in semi independant squadrons as part of a Grand Fleet or independantly cruising the oceans chasing down commerce raiders. In Star Trek you see this concept in the Klingon D6, The Kzinti BCs ans CCs, the Romulan Birds of Prey and the Federation Heavy Cruisers such as the Hood and Excelsiors. The battlecruiser role is partly served in SW by the ISDs and ISD2s.

    My headcanon is: The Praetor actually was set up with the ability to be REMODELED to have more weapons. Just in case the reformation was ever determined obsolete. So they made a ship with the necessary power generation and shields for a ship that size (at least at the time), and left it under-armed to avoid breaking the treaty. While perhaps at least leaving a reasonable number of redundant power conduits lying around at certain points to where you COULD potentially add the "rest" of the guns if it became necessary.
    Obviously, it would not be suited to adding on turreted weaponry larger or more draining than the heaviest weapons available at the time it was designed and the demonstration model built (and obviously being no better suited to slapping on fixed weaponry than any other capital ship). And thus the Praetor 2 was essentially just the Praetor updated to be able to support more modern weapons, and coming standard with more weapons, but which was still left with "empty slots" on its hull that could be further augmented because, perhaps at the time it first started going into production, there was still debate on just how much the Reformation should be flouted and/or how going too far past it may result a bad image for the Republic.
    And thus, the Praetor 2 came, in "base form" still under-armed, but still able to have more guns added to bring it to what you would expect from a ship that size if that were done. Who knows, with all the fleets engaging each other and mildly damaged vessels that needed repair, a number of Praetor 2s that got light damage may have been sent in for quick repairs that also silently added the "remaining" guns.
    Edit: Oh, don't get me wrong. The more modern vessels likely are better battlecruisers usually, since they in their stock form don't require "sending in for repairs" to actually bring them up to their intended spec. But at the same time, I'm not sure I really consider the First Order "Star Destroyer" to really be a "Battlecruiser," as well, they don't seem to really treat it as such. Instead, its more like the First Order just wants to say that every ship class is bigger now, because TARKIIIIIIIIN and all that (hey, they made a PLANET into a superweapon just to show up those "puny" Death Stars, and then made the Mega Star Destroyer to show up those old executors, so yeah, this is a thing they do).
