I stand by my belief that the Venator is the best carrier in existence in the Rise of the Empire and Imperial eras, but the Venator is more of a fleet carrier. The Quasar Fire has my vote for the best escort carrier in the Imperial era.
the liberator is better, but that is legends only and is a carrier/cruiser hybrid (doesn't stop a ship almost the same size of the quasar fire from carrying 36 more fighters than the dedicated carrier, in addition to twice the firepower of a carrack, and extremely powerful shield for a ship it's size
Paul Apfelbaum sounds great, but I'm looking at sheer carriers only, the kinds of ships you don't want to have getting into a fight of its own. A Liberator can hold its own (granted, so can a Venator, but that's its own beast), whereas a Quasar Fire certainly cannot beyond completely disorganized rabble or pirates using Uglies
it is a better carrier than any in it's size range (it carries 72 fighters but is 392 meters long) you have to get to nearly twice its length to match it as a pure carrier (the Ton-Falk class at 550 meters) the armament and shields are just nice to haves
I agree with you the Quasar Fire-class is like an escort carrier. like fill it up with bombers and fighters to protect your fleet and launch light attacks and providing planetary assault support like those WW2-era escort carriers. The Venator though I always compare it to the WW2-era Essex class carriers, like they can hold their own in a fight and form the core part of the fleet and launch heavy attacks with its fighters and bombers.
The Canon hanger bays seem better than a single large hanger, say an accident, explosion or enemy fire goes into the hanger and causes a large fire or detonation it can halt all flight operations along the entire deck due to the lack of separation, in the separated hangers you can see that you could isolate one in an emergency and stop a chain reaction from delaying or stopping flight operations
It also aids in its structural integrity to have a cell like structure rather than a single large open space. Ironic given the micro fracture sabotage though.
I'd argue that SoroSuub may have done exactly that. They were probably being underpaid for it, and the Sullustans were very much Rebel Sympathisers. Or at least, in Canon. In Legends, I'm not sure.
Or perhaps it's just structural flaw due to the design was not originally meant for military operations, similar to how some WW2 escort carrier that were based on cargo ship were more prone to hull fatigue than normal warships.
I always have my handy book on WW2 weapons nearby when watching videos on Star Wars tech. It is where you are likely to see the inspiration for certain ships. Although in this case I am worried because it seems that the WW2 comes out on top. There were bi-planes faster than this ship. Then again one should not under estimate the humble bi plane, it was the humber Fairey Swordfish (top spead around 220km/h for comparison) that crippled the mighty bismarck. Now we need a versus episode with a Fairey Swordfish squadron vs the Quasar.
It’s possible are comparing incorrectly. You are comparing the craft launched from a carrier to a carrier. For example HMS Ark Royal in WW2 had a top speed of 36 miles per hour (31 knots). So even if the Swordfish could got 220 km/h or 123 miles per hour it was still significantly faster then it’s host ship, the same for this vessel and it’s smaller craft.
You actually made a serious comment. I am somewhat dissapointed. Why can't we all appreciate the true OP masterpiece the Fairey Swordfish? Also for the record I stand by comparing the Quasar to aircraft, I had a look at naval vessels but it doesn't match well. Remember what we would be comparing: A vehicle that is able to operate in three dimensions for the pruposes of interstellar combat vs one limited to surface naval actions. I think it is just as fair to compare it to actual aircraft of the time even if they have a different role. If only to highlight some of the strange statistics in Star Wars. But if you really want to compare this to a WW2 vehicle then the best fit would be the TB-3 (Max speed around 210km/h). The reason for this is because of it's use in the Zveno Project where it was used as a mothership for smaller fighters.
Gowan James Ditchburn also btw the speed of Star Wars ships that are listed are all atmospheric speed as it says on the wiki so they can go faster in space because dear god there acceleration is fucking ridiculous
With TIEs, the _Quasar_ wins 10 times out of 10. Alone, the _Quasar_ still has Turbolasers, which could most likely hit those bi-planes easily. Given that, I think that it's still a pretty easy win for the _Quasar._
I don't think that would be very practical for anything but the richest of factions, at which point you should just build a bunch of mobile Superlasers
Wow, "Star Wars: Rebellion" reference. Holy shit I had forgotten about how much I played that game. Wonder if I can find a version that's compatible with Windows 10.
Nota Truename I hadn't even thought of checking on Steam, didn't think they'd have a game that old. Sure you're not thinking of "Star Wars: Empire at War?
This was the best rebel ship in the game. All the rebels ever needed to do was transport fighters into battle, so if you spammed these you could beat anything the empire had.
Was playing Empire at War with the Absolute Corruption mod a few minutes ago as the Empire and kept getting swarmed by stacks of 30 quasars and 40 K-wings at one point. Only kept my stations alive by using the Torpedo jamming on the Immobilizer Interdictors that came with the level 5 stations.
I’m guessing that the Quasar is actually referencing the launching of the Star Fighters, not the ship itself. AND It’ll be quite confusing IF the ship was referred to as a Black Hole. There is a ship that I’m curious about. Its called the Relentless & its from a TH-cam channel called “IMPStheRELENTLESS”.
I hope this doesn’t get lost but have a look at the Revenge class heavy carrier. It’s an interesting vessel and even showed up in a fan series called “IMPS The Relentless” with the relentless being the carrier. It’s a cool looking ship.
This carrier's way to carry starfighters is smart making it have rack's to hold ship's while bigger ship's were at the bottem, i would only imagine how much more starfighters the venator could carry if it had this kind of starfighter carry system
That's one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard, like giving an entire army faulty rifles so that, on the off chance they're stolen, the enemy has a faulty rifle. Wouldn't it be much easier and sensible to just shoot the enemy first? Of course, that also makes it the exact kind of dumb idea that the Empire would go for.
Actually, it was first designed and shown by West End Games for the Truce at Bakura Sourcebook- and it was different in many ways in Legends- being larger, completely flat up top and much better armed. Dave Filoni is a fan of the WEG designs (because they designed literally everything new between RTOJ and TPM) like the Shieldship, Skipray Blastboat and all the Hapan stuff.
This was my favorite ship to work a fighter focus it was cheap and I jumped it back into hyperspace after dumping off massive amounts of fighters and bombers especially if you have six of them.
the stats you mentioned seem a bit too small, as in the Rebels' episode where it is introduced, it looks more like twice the length of the Arquittens and just slightly over 2/3 the length of an imperial interdictor cruiser, as in the episode " Zero Hour" where we see this ship ram the interdictor, it looks to be about that size in proportion, in contrast, during the rebels' episode " Stealth Strike" the Arquittens is shown to be about 1/3 the Interdictor's length, just thought I'd mention that because the video stats seem way to small, btw keep making videos, they are awesome.
Considering this would be the equivalent role of a Carrier Escort, its an amazing ship. WWII CVEs would stand for Combustible, Vulnerable and Expendable and they did a whole lot in WWII (see Battle of Samar for more). But this ship is none of those except maybe expendable making it a superb class for its role. Quasar managed to take several proton bombs, cut a Interdictor in half by ramming and can carry a sizeable air wing. Its incredibly strong if you think about it.
The Legends version seems like a much larger vessel. The entire triangular hull is one big deck full of parts and repair shops for fighters, as well as the crew and fighter pilot quarters. I think they scaled everything does for Rebels" budget- particularly the crew!
MetaNerdz Lore Yea The art for the First Thrawn book brought a ton of ships in, as well as the Poe Damerpn comic which featured in the background an E-Wing! Never mentioned but still cool.
In the Thrawn Trilogy the PCL 27 had 600 meters long and at least 48 meters wide of empty space. With racks it could carry 72 Y-wings while having a crew of 60. It would’ve been more cost and crew effective and easier to upgrade.
I see a lot of people pulling for the Venator, but I have to remind them that the Lucrehulk holds thousands of fighters, and has enough turbolasers to support itself in big-ship battles.
This ship , think of it more as a freighter for starfighters en mass. You use one fuel efficient slow ship to freight a fleets worth of fighters. These fighters can be repaired , and serviced , while aboard by tech crews. This ship can act as a remote base in the emptiness of space.
This ship Is one of my favorite ships in the imperial navy if I was an admiral commanding a fleet I would definitely have at least 2 in my fleet one for fighters and interceptors and another for bombers
I love TIE Fighters, so a ship that carries a lot of them is pretty cool too. The hangar bay kinda reminds me of the one in The Force Unleashed at the Imperial TIE Fighter Factory...
My favorite ships are the imperial command cruiser, the munificent frigate, lucrehulk, cv90 corvette, Grevious's starfighter, millennium falcon & Slave 1. But this cruiser is cool too
Flurry from Truce of Bakura made it sound like the Quasar-Fire was converted from a cargo ship into a carrier, not purpose built, am sure it's classed as a Bulk Cruiser.
I think you did that more than once in this video, and I remember other people misspelling hangar often lately. Even tried correcting someone on the spelling a while back and they outright refused, keeping with their flawed ways. What's sad is I've known that difference since Empire at War first came out, I was about 5 back then.
Kal Skirata lol I saw one of them now with the dewbacks, but when I was 5 I used to get all upset about people pronouncing things wrong, but then I grew up and realized that is not something intelligent minds should waste their time on. Same with spelling, it's silly and superficial, you can't know anything about someone's intellect by their bad spelling, grammar, or pronunciation. I was a teacher for years, and as one who is well aware of the amount of dumb people like the conspiracy theorist I pinned, I think getting annoyed at such unimportant things is such a silly way to wire your brain. It's also a weird thing to be proud of, no offense, but seeing how so many people online care about grammar and spelling just shows that they are not as concerned with actual intelligence. People share great ideas on here that are not native English speakers, it could have been a brain fart, mistake, or they don't know the word - but who cares? We should worry about people being able to make well thought out points, have rational arguments, and enjoy life. I think examining our world with a clear head, enjoying life, and not harming people, are the three main things me need to care about, and because so many fail at that, I don't even pay attention to superficial errors.
yeah, and I very well see your reasoning for it, but sometimes it'd good to take a break from the bigger picture and step down to correcting the color of certain fibers or specific pixels. Part of me finds joy in that because I'm not worrying about any impending doom of anything major, and the rest kinda feels at peace with the tedium, can't quite explain that one. It's odd.
Kal Skirata lol don't worry I think I kinda get what you mean. It's actually cool to hear it from your point of view so thanks for explaining what you like about it.
In thrawn’s revenge mod (Star Wars: Empire at War) the quasar seems to be the wrong size if it really is larger than an arquitens which would make sense given its fighter complement. Interesting.
Correct me if im wrong but i think the Phoenix uses Spearheads not A-Wings (you can actually see it because the A-Wing have the ring thingy at the tails)
It would've kept the one huge hanger bay just to make more space. It would probably make it wide enough to store two or even eight more Y-Wings from the look of it or it could be retrofitted into a military ground transport that specializes in hot drops. That last one is iffy, but I can see it if it's loaded up with LAATs. It breaks the atmosphere, gets as close as it possibly can with shields up and it could unload it's cargo via air drop.
This would make sense as a ship that would turn the tide as each literally a mobile base . I had nine squadrons on one in a old 1998 game. That is a lot of fighters.
I like this running theme in canon of the very people being forced to design weapons for the Empire putting in subtle design flaws that would help take down the Empire. We see the same thing was done to the Death Star in Rogue One, leading to the waste of countless Imperial resources and personnel, and now the same thing is being done here. In a way, the whole Empire is like one of their own AT-ATs, gargantuan in scope, but held up by flimsy support.
I think the venator is better as an "Amphibious Assault Ship" carrying troops and atmospheric craft for a ground invasion. Using it's turbolasers as orbital gunfire support. These working alongside Acclamators as a landing craft for heavier artillery and vehicles. I like the imperial quasar as an actual starfighter carrier. I think multiple smaller carriers is better so they can be in more places. of course escorted by a small cruiser and a few frigates and corvettes. A quasar can carry 48-96 starfighters depending if you have ties on racks or just ships on the ground. With a venator having 420 starfighters, 5 quasars would give you the same amount of starfighters with 6,150 less crew and for 50,250,000 less credits overall. Those extra credits can be used for their escort ships.
I love that this is canon now, but I don't know how I feel about it being designed to be a carrier instead of a refit freighter jerryrigged by the rebels
I always thought this was a poorly designed ship from the get go. Big open hangers facing right at the enemy so they can shoot into it with ease? This ship was designed to fail.
I stand by my belief that the Venator is the best carrier in existence in the Rise of the Empire and Imperial eras, but the Venator is more of a fleet carrier. The Quasar Fire has my vote for the best escort carrier in the Imperial era.

The Venator though I always compare it to the WW2-era Essex class carriers, like they can hold their own in a fight and form the core part of the fleet and launch heavy attacks with its fighters and bombers.
I like how Dewbacks have become a standard unit of measurement on this channel lately
Hah yeah I hope some people are just confused and channel regulars laugh, I had to work it in somewhere
I think that Senates needs to become a more common unit of measurement.
Like RealLifeLores Toyota Corolla
How much does this bagofdew weigh? And how long or tall is it?

ah I like that point
Also allows for specialized use. If there aren’t enough fighters to fill the hangar bays you turn one or two into cargo storage.
It also aids in its structural integrity to have a cell like structure rather than a single large open space.
Ironic given the micro fracture sabotage though.
both should be cannon. It would be easy to change the internal lay out and different models might have different hanger configurations.
TheReal Lifehacks great point

I love the Design of this ship ! Pair it with a couple of Arquentis class crusiers and a Victory Star Destroyer and you have a perfect small fleet ^^.

Imaging flying into a quasar to find hundreds of dewbacks just wondering around the hanger
This is a good small star fighter carrier, wished there were more.
Weird. In Star Wars Armada the Quasar is faster than Home One, VSD, Pelta and Interdictor.
No way this ship top speed could be 250 km/h... Sometimes canon makes no sense
It carried 6 squadrons in rebellion if memory serves.
I love TIE Fighters, so a ship that carries a lot of them is pretty cool too. The hangar bay kinda reminds me of the one in The Force Unleashed at the Imperial TIE Fighter Factory...

Well, the Arquitens is too large ,and that is likely why.
I don't why exactly but I'm really partial to this ship . I really like it
It why is there so much space between the hangar and the bridge
lol cuz ster werz
lol Nebulon B and Quasar are like Laurel & Hardy
They were originally meant to be bulk cargo vessels instead of fighter carriers. the empty space had attachment points for cargo pods.
@@Scioneer That Might explain the microfractures it generated coming out of hyper. If the frame was meant to carry a more evenly distributed mass.
I think it's a really cool looking ship
Drinking game for this video:
Every time "hangar" is misspelled as "hanger", take a drink.
Can you do a video on the xygerrian fighter from the clone wars.
i was just about to comment for this ship
Don't you just jest?
oh thxs man
Correct me if im wrong but i think the Phoenix uses Spearheads not A-Wings (you can actually see it because the A-Wing have the ring thingy at the tails)
Yeah you're right, I always make that mistake
It would've kept the one huge hanger bay just to make more space. It would probably make it wide enough to store two or even eight more Y-Wings from the look of it or it could be retrofitted into a military ground transport that specializes in hot drops. That last one is iffy, but I can see it if it's loaded up with LAATs. It breaks the atmosphere, gets as close as it possibly can with shields up and it could unload it's cargo via air drop.
I liked it 👍
I love this ship, if i was in the empire, i would want this to be my flagship
Dewbacks are a quick bang for your buck when they're sold in bulk.
This would make sense as a ship that would turn the tide as each literally a mobile base . I had nine squadrons on one in a old 1998 game. That is a lot of fighters.
This could be an excellent ship with some mods and good tactics
I like this running theme in canon of the very people being forced to design weapons for the Empire putting in subtle design flaws that would help take down the Empire. We see the same thing was done to the Death Star in Rogue One, leading to the waste of countless Imperial resources and personnel, and now the same thing is being done here. In a way, the whole Empire is like one of their own AT-ATs, gargantuan in scope, but held up by flimsy support.
I think the venator is better as an "Amphibious Assault Ship" carrying troops and atmospheric craft for a ground invasion. Using it's turbolasers as orbital gunfire support. These working alongside Acclamators as a landing craft for heavier artillery and vehicles.
I like the imperial quasar as an actual starfighter carrier. I think multiple smaller carriers is better so they can be in more places. of course escorted by a small cruiser and a few frigates and corvettes.
A quasar can carry 48-96 starfighters depending if you have ties on racks or just ships on the ground. With a venator having 420 starfighters, 5 quasars would give you the same amount of starfighters with 6,150 less crew and for 50,250,000 less credits overall. Those extra credits can be used for their escort ships.
the SoroSuub Liberator cruiser/carrier is better in every way, despite being similarly sized, you should cover that ship
I feel like this ship is best utilized behind the battle, where it can support a crap load of fighters to the battle to support the stronger ships.
I love that this is canon now, but I don't know how I feel about it being designed to be a carrier instead of a refit freighter jerryrigged by the rebels
0:58 these are the legends stats i think. In Rebels we see 2 light turbolasers and 6 dual laser cannon turrets.
BUT IT LOOKS SO COOL
Tru dat
The Truce at Bakura representative being the Quasar Fire class New Republic carrier the Flurry.
This ship fills the same roll as an escort carrier during WW2, designed to provide light fighter escort to convoys
Hey Meta Love this types of videos Keep it the awesome work #MetaLordLyfe
I always thought this was a poorly designed ship from the get go. Big open hangers facing right at the enemy so they can shoot into it with ease? This ship was designed to fail.
It DID used to be a cargo ship though.
I find that hard to believe as it makes for a poor cargo ship as well. All of it's main cargo space would be the hangers.
And the gap in between.
150 mph. That made me laugh :)
You need to me moving at 17,500 mph to maintain Low Earth Orbit.
The Quasar Fire started as cargo ship that was converted to a carrier.
