Spacedock how much does it cost? Just curious
Dangit, Spiff's influence gets everywhere...
I must say, I loved listening to the sales pitch more than the video itself! 😜... I still enjoyed the ship breakdown though.
I would give a great many things to hear that voice again
@@owenpeters1823 Incidental character in the Sojourn, perhaps?
*falls out of chair laughing* Good lord... that intro!
Tea receptable!!? Lol!
Thank the maker its Variable geometry, and Inverse tachyon. Hard to find any multi-spectral ceramic Tea re-sceptical that aren't the cheap linear geometry tachyon models these days
I thought i click on the wrong video
The outro is just as great. *adjusts monocle*
It just gets better with the Rank being called "Jägermeister", as space fighter in german are "Raumjäger", giving the rank a double meaning beyond its name for an alcoholic drink known even in english speaking nations XD
Just for using the theme of Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike, this is automatically the best video in the entire channel. Of all time
Agreed!!!
I was wondering why the background music sounded so familiar, thanks.
I wish all three games would be remastered and rereleased for the current gen systems.
I've never played rogue squadron :(
god what would i give for Rogue Squadron trilogy on the switch
To quote Wedge Antilles "a near perfect combination of speed, durability and firepower"
To Quote Carlist Riekaan: "An almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shielding make it the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron.""
That being said, the E wing will always be my favorite star wars fighter (atleast on the side of the the good guys)
The X-Wings may get the glory, but the Y-Wings will always be the workhorse of the Rebel fleet.
Absolutely. It's not quick or flashy, but it gets the job done.
Pretty much spitfire vs hurricanes
Damn I loved that game
@@px1_ Spitfire VS Thunderbolt. The Jug carried firepower by the barrel, and was tough, and could fight at low levels without worry about a vulnerable radiator getting hit and being put out of business. Besides, who would argue with EIGHT .50 cal machine guns?
@@Nighthawke70 the P-47 was great, but it’s worth noting that it was introduced in 1942, the spitfire did serve through the whole war in numerous fronts, proving itself over south England and in North Africa. Furthermore I’d argue 2x 20mils with ammo to spare could rival 8 .50s in the early war considering not many aircraft matched that amount of armament . Anyway the jug and spitfire are both iconic and great aircraft for their roles
Lock S foils in attack position!
If we go in than we going in at full throttle. That should keep the Tie off are backs.
@Michaelle Green it'll just be like beggars canyon back home!
Stay on target.... *Stay on Target...*
@HELLO THERE "You worry about those fighters! I'll worry about the tower!"
Stay on target!
Ejector Seat? Not much use in space when X-Wing pilots do not wear pressurized space suits.
The only reason they didn’t wear spacesuits is simply because the rebellion couldn’t afford them
They’re pressurised they just lack the enclosed helmet, everything else they wear is EVA capable
The helmet has a Retractable face plate.
In one of the comics (and books?), part of the ejection system puts a MagCon field around them.
Rebel flight suits carried an emergency air supply and protection for eyes and other sensitive body parts but they weren't completely sealed. If a pilot had to eject, they had about 10-15 minutes to get picked up and be ready to fly again after a few days' rest, or 20-40 minutes and require a long bacta bath before they were even able to walk again. Either way, they had significantly worse odds of survival than imperial TIE pilots, who wore fully sealed, pressurized suits and could await pickup for several hours. Of course, since TIEs were also far easier to shoot down in the first place than X-Wings, it kind of evened out in terms of pilot survival rates.
My nostalgia exploded from the Rogue Squadron 3 music
Same man
Too bad we'll never get a decent Rogue Squadron 4.
“Ceramic tea receptacle...” Yeah, that’s rich! 🤣
I feel so special, thank you Spacedock!
Thank YOU for your service! /Salute
You might have beaten my predecessors but now, the playing field is more even. The old star destroyers had either weak firepower or little point defence. I have both! I have over 700 turbolasers and 700 ion cannons. I also have 100 point defence lasers and most importantly I have missile launchers, 30 of them. I even have 140 shielded Tie fighters. Do you really think that you can beat me? *Frantically smashes keys to remove plot armor from gameplay*
Had a ejection seat you think the rebels would have utilized it by having pilots equiped with pressurized suits
the ejection seat is supposed to be the entire nose of the spacecraft- the entire cockpit portion would jettison, leaving the pilot in what would effectively be a lightly armored escape pod with limited life support functions
The T-65B is my favorite space superiority fighter if Fiction. Hands down.
And the T-70 a true successor the the already amazing starship line (despite the movies).
@@westforlols1425 While the T-70 is a fantastic ship, I prefer the Legends counterpart, the XJ-series X-Wing.
I got a build your own X wing add and now I'm scared of how smart TH-cam is getting
Oh, that use of the Rogue Squadron 2 theme and reference to the fighter’s description! You totally made my day with that!
@sean khan
It's from both, technically. Rogue Squadron 3's was a retake of the Rogue Squadron 2 theme. Don't think there's any particular point in insisting it's one or the other.
@@rookcapcoldblood2618 It's also from Rogue Squadron 1.
@@VegetaLF7
Huh. Alright. Let's just say it's from the whole series then.
@@VegetaLF7 RS1 had a different theme.
@@darwinxavier3516 Nope, same theme, just a slightly different version of it. th-cam.com/video/9kTNbfHMlv4/w-d-xo.html
I am about halfway through Alphabet Squadron right now, and its interesting seeing how ex-Imperial pilots who defect to the Republic almost find the X-Wing's shields, hyperdrive, droid, and wide view canopy strange after flying in the technically weaker but much more nimble TIE Fighter. An X-Wing in a great pilot's hands is a deadly weapon, but the TIE Fighter's deficiencies force the pilots to become great if they want to survive.
Still need the Buck Rodgers Thunderfighter and Draconian Hatchet Fighter. Sadly, I don't think there is a lot of solid information on those fighters.
If we're honest, the main thing we all remember from that series was Erin Grey in a series in increasingly tight fitting jumpsuits
@@weldonwin
To be honest I liked her when she was strictly Col. Dearing (sp?) and a soldier. She looked best in the white military outfit.
@@DocWolph Which was also really really tight and for a no nonsense military officer, she obviously spent a lot of time on her makeup
I'm huge fan of fighter crafts from real world P-51's and F-14's to fictional ones like X-wing. Luke Skywalker and his X-wing was what the New Republic and New Jedi Order were meant to be.
"Never doing that voice again. You can't make me."
Aw. Shame. I really liked that voice.
~Inb4 spacedock does an entire episode in that voice~
I want to see an armada of them from a surviving Republic fleet in Episode 9.
Nah they would probably have t-85 fighters
@@deadshot5007 Sadly not :(
Both of you are wrong. Jar jar abrams has other wishes.
The fact that you used the rogue squadron game music in the background made me so happy. Great video as always
"An X-Wing is an elegant ship for a more... Civilized age." 😉
I would love to see a Incomm *update of the ARC-170* using the lessons and technology of the X-Wing design.
Basically a heavy X-Wing, losing the third crewman/copilot, instead having a astromech.
Streamline the design, add front laser cannons so it's better against fighters and give the rear gunner more firepower and a better firing arc.
Make it a Y-Wing replacement that's a strike fighter/bomber with a lot more carried ordinance that isn't fighter bait.
The turbolasers can either be kept with two laser cannons added (or a split firing mode so the turbolasers can fire rapid weaker shots for fast fighters). Or they can be removed for even more payload and a stack of forward facing laser cannons with a couple of ions - six wing mounted laser cannons, one on each S-Foil, and two nose mounted ion cannons would take down any fighter or small ship and weaken shields for the torpedoes.
Whilst still being able to dogfight.
*_ARC-180B fan art time._*
The ARC-170 had an astromech droid already.
I was thinking Hex-Wing with 6 wings and 6 lasers (4 for anti star fighters, 2 heavy ion cannons for anti ship combats)
That may well have been the greatest self promotion I've ever heard in my entire life.
So happy you used the original Rogue Squadron theme! I shed a tear of nostalgia.
Wedge Antilles directly referred to the X-Wing as the perfect balance of sturdiness, firepower and maneuvrability.
It's basically the F/A-18 Hornet of star fighters if the Hornet was VTOL capable.
So if the X-Wing is the Spitfire of the Rebellion, what is their Hurricane?
spamviking probably the A wing 😊
The Z-95 I guess?
Not the A-Wing. A-Win would have been the Typhoon
B-wing probs
@@dunamoose3446 B-Wing would be a heavy fighter like a Mosquito to me
I say, spiffing, old chap! The fighter isn't too bad, either.
"The Incom T-65 X-Wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star..." Talk about a trip down memory lane to Saturday mornings playing Rogue Squadron on the N64 as a kid.
Rogue Squadron sparked my interest in Star Wars. I feel like turning on my gamecube again and seeing the original trilogy's cast dancing under a disco ball and walk around the hangar for a couple of hours.
Nobody:
Daniel from spacedock: *eyyy everybody it’s Daniel from spacedock*
A simple request, from myself to Daniel:
TELL ME ABOUT SPACESHIPS YOU GLORIOUS, WONDERFUL MAN!
Norm!
Andy B, This isn’t even funny.
Nice choice of music used in this video as it was the music score heard in the Star Wars:Rogue Squadron game of the Nintendo GameCube.
The fact that you used the Rebel Strike menu music gave me a shitload of nostalgia, thank you.
And even quoted the description of the X-Wing from the first game.
Yup
not bad, I love the video. I admit that the X-wing is my favorite star wars fighter.
I have watched all the movies, seen many episodes of the Clone Wars, read over 50 of the Expanded Universe novels and 2 of the new novels, yet each episode of Spacedock makes it all new and exciting again, leaving me with a thirst for more.
By Joe! Jolly good show with that tremendously topping intro, old chaps!
An iconic symbol of rebellion old chap! Though I would prefer the T-70 & T-85 over the T-65B
The T-70 is honestly a perfectly designed successor to the T-65. Say what you will about Disney’s Star Wars, but you can’t argue that the ship design is superb.
@@a.morphous66Agreed. Although do pref the 65 since its just that wonderful and i like old stuff
Alex Boehm they might be technically better, but nothing beats the classic T-65.
@@a.morphous66 : _I_ say that 95% of maintenance is probably in the fore section of the quad engines. Cut the rotor of your atmospheric fans in half!?! For a _non-bench_ vehicle!?! Are they insane!?!
Well, regardless of whether the engineers were insane, the maintenance techs surely went insane. That is _not_ the right choice of part to divide parallel to it's axis, it would have made more sense to switch to cyclo-rotors!
Bookhead714 their fighter design maybe but their larger ship
Designs are kinda hit or miss
The Death Star Trench Run being mirrored is like, the most cursed thing ever...
Great video Spacedock!!!! I love t-65 x-wing. It looks so aggressive.
The start and end are exactly why I adore this channel, good show old bean !
Please continue the voice :)
The X-wing's the original replacement for the similar T-95 model, but turned out to surpass the older model serving the Rebellion/ New Republic and even the Resistance. Which means the X-Wing's like BSG's Viper Mark II; both of which outlived their original service span.
Omg I love that you used music from the N64 Rogue Squadron game for this video.
Down with the rebellion! Long live the Empire!
*FOR THE EMPEROR!!!*

The cake may be a lie,
But tea & biscuits are definitely a trap!
Gravometric Space Gentleman is probably the greatest combination of words i have ever heard.
Wow. Just wow.your narrations are beyond reproach. I saw Star Wars when I was 8 and as I was scrolling for your videos I kept saying “he MUST have an Xwing, he must!”
I was not disappointed
Spacedock really has some of the best scripts on TH-cam
As soon as the music started it all suddenly came back. All those hours spent playing the game over and over. The nostalgia.
Truly that intro, though!!! 😂😂
One of my most favorite ships in Star Wars!!!
Really liked and enjoyed watching this video!!!!!!!!! 😎🙌😄👌😁👍
Amasing video, may the force be with you
The X-Wing is iconic/synonymous with Star Wars itself.
You should check out the indie title Final Theory. Simple game but it has just gorgeous ship designs. Would love to see a breakdown of that game's ship classes ☺
The nearest Terran cousin would be the F-15 Eagle. Also multi-role, carrying a variety of firepower, tough, fast, deadly. The Eagle's profile is quite nearly the same as the T-65 family, only the wings and engines being the major difference. But the power and appearance making the F-15 one of the most popular fighters of the late 20th. Some may argue the older F-14 Tomcat, but the versatility was not discovered until late in the interceptor's life.
Jolly Good Episode!
Most EXCELLENT episode‼️‼️
Please do that voice again. It was fantastic! Jolly good show!
That opening music at the begining... so many memories
An oppertunity that I have always believed Star Wars failed to take advantage of; the possibility of an X-Wing with sustained fire cannons.
Imagine one of those things running low over Imperial ground forces and just letting loose with a continous beam from all four laser cannons.
Scorched earth indeed.
Given that they already had to space them out to maximise heat dissipation, continuous fire probably isn't practical. And the individual cannons' combined firing rate is already impressive enough.
My take is that the X-Wing _is_ purpose-built as a DPS strafer.
Think about it: Each cannon is tied to its own engine, and the S-foils provide a wide area of heat dissipation radiators. The X-wing doesn't mess around with ion cannons or bombs-- it's primary weapons are a quadruple array of big honkin' guns.
The role would be to strafe and harass Imperial gun emplacements with the goal of punching open a hole in the defensive screen so the Y-Wings can roll in and drop heavy ordnance.
Alright, Jagermeister was hilarious. Well done.
you can do anything with an x-wing and plot armour
Pip pip one must have a spot of tea with this show starting
Chocks away lads
🇬🇧
CRIKEY SKIPPER! Bally Imp Rotters, 12 O'clock high!
top notch music choice
Glad to see Dan has shed his facade of being a pleb and has gone full naval officer with mutton chops to boot.
One thing I've always found odd, and well other channel operator's have outright called stupid is WHY does the X-wing have ejector seats for pilots not wearing atmospherically
sealed suits?
There is an emergency atmospheric shield that will deploy. It is described in the Truce at Bakurra novel.
that has since been classified non-canon but it was at least a break-fix attempt at covering this extreme lack.
Jägermeister Mug? You should make shot glasses instead ;D
It's a Yeagermeister mug. His profound and appalling love for the Yeager class starship which no one else in the world likes.
I kinda like it, plus it’s realistic to see them cobbling together new classes to use prexisisting parts. Reminds me of the Tim the British build a battleship so they could use up leftover battleship grade gun turrets
Okay so there's now 2 people in the world. 😂
Shot glasses ? You dont drink Jägermeister in shot glasses that would be pathetic
@@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547 ofc you do, how else would you do it?
-24C in a shot glass and down with it, that's the only proper way. Don't even mention mixing it with coke, that would be blasphemy
this video is perfect
honestly i like designs like this, where in universe it's used a lot for a long period of time because everyone realized "oh shit, this is like, really fucking good."
04:35 oh that's gotta be a pucker factor moment coming out of hyperspace
Best Patreon advert I’ve ever seen
You know. It's kind of amazing that a mere Resistance Movement still able to procure advance starfighter and warship to fight against the Galactic Empire.
Make me wonder who actually is the biggest Alliance's support. Some power beyond the Galaxy maybe? ;)
In Legends the Empire planned to nationalize Incom and they heard about it and defected to the Alliance
You had me at tea receptacle.
Rogue Squadron music! And this is why I love this channel.
Exactly! I've also heard Star Trek Legacy music on videos discussing various Trek ships. While no where near as famous as the Rogue Squadron games, Legacy was a fun game in it's own right.
Man, that music was nostalgic.
God damn man, these are just the best videos.
Best intro ever.
Liked just for that awesome Patreon ad!
This is the 69th ship breakdown... *N I C E*
I love the Rogue Squadron game references!
That was a great voice, you should do it all the time.
Thank you .
I barely know what Star Wars is but I love this ship
The X-Wing, the P-51 Mustang of the Star Wars universe
Classic I loved it!
That yaegermeister one would have been better if it is a shot glas.
In germany we have an alkoholik shot called Jägermeister
Jagermeister is actually a global brand.
That's the joke.
This made me want to sign up for the Rebellion.
Was I the only one that couldn't come to terms with the look of the laser cannons just being glued on at the tips of the wings?
So. Who would win. A suped up space battleship star destroyer. Or 4 X-wing bois who happened to have dropped out of hyperspace near it
Do they get the chance to do the Loran Spitball?
Murph's Models does it matter? They will torpedo the destroyer to oblivion before the shields are up
When the ISD cant raise it shields in time then the X Wings.
Maikeru Uchiha90 I mean. Even with shields it’s a fight that is totally binging on the x-wings skill. Since star destroyers have no point defence at all they have no way to fight back if the tie fighters are away. The Hagar is damaged or the x-wings show up unexpectedly and it has it launched its tie fighters. Launching tie fighters being an arduous process
How the Yeager class was really created
Dominions: you don't have enough starships against us Federation scum
Federation: hold my beer
Cardis: O.O
Love the Rogue Squadron theme!
My favorite Ship of all time
Yes! Rogue squadron III music for the beautiful star fighter
With that music I want to play a Rogue Squadron game lol
Ejector seat or escape pod module? Eject into space and you're dead. If the pilot section was an ejectable module then survival was possible, iffy but possible. The intro, good lord man, that looks like my drawing room in my TARDIS, the butler will have to be tossed out an airlock.
Oh you're playing the RS theme. Guess I'm replaying the game now
I think it should be speeds not previously attainable by snubfighters, not starfighters. The T65 is a snubfighter, as it carries a secondary load out of explosives primarily intended for non-dog fighting engagements, aka, ground targets and larger ships. Things like the TIE/LN fighter, commissioned much earlier than the T65B X-wing, have equal space speeds, and actually greater atmospheric speeds (though less maneuverability due to drag). The remarkable advances that the X-wing brought were versatility, durability, self-sufficiency, and balance, it's not a star, it's a workhorse, able to fill multiple roles effectively and thereby stretch alliance resources further.
Loving the Rogue squadron theme.
Favorite ship
If I weren’t almost completely broke right now, I would absolutely join the club just for that intro.
Disappointed it wasn't Rimmer's officer's club 😀
SpaceDock: this an amazing star fighter
Sacred Cow Shipyards: IT’S SHIT
Tea?! Hmmm... oh well, I suppose I could just put coffee in it instead
