And what is your top 1?

@@angantyrarmageddon2559 I'd pick this and the Ghost/Phantom Combo.

@@steelresilience I am taking a Gozanti Frieght ship! Those things are awesome and a U-wing as my backup ship.

CR90

Acclumator for me

I would think the Rho class would be best for him. He could even bring the N1 with one of those by building a tail docking port for the N1 into the container, which would also make a more spacious home he could build inside of.

I think it would be a great bounty hunter ship

@@brandtsnakenberg7327 it would! But they clearly seem to want Din to have a fighter hero ship because reasons, even if that doesn't make a ton of sense. The Nu would be better than the N1, absolutely. But the Rho, while not as good as the Nu, could more easily be adapted to lug the N1 around as a parasite fighter, has (potentially) more interior space to use with the spinal compartments and the container being subdivided into a tiny home in space, and would also allow them to sell an additional toy because then they could have an N1 toy that docks with a larger modified Rho toy.

I have said the same thing previously but yes it would be a great ship for din.

@@brandtsnakenberg7327 The Nu and Rho shuttles would be excellent ships for those in the bounty hunting profession.

Thats just 25k more than a standard tie.

​@@nefanyo5788and 5k more Expensive than LAAT Gunship

Not only do they not understand vehicle speeds they don't understand money either.

What made the Attack Shuttle so expensive?

@@fernandozavaletabustos205it’s a Military grade gunship made to work literally everywhere

Yeees

Yes

Same

I think it can just do that regardless so it can fit in cramped hangars. It must just be a standard feature

Could be that the ones that don´t /do fold all the way are a V2, because they were given the order to build the shuttle to furfill the wing folding or not.

So make them all into LAAT/c’s?

Agreed, the LAATi is a very short range space to ground vehicle, its probably way cheaper to run and buy and very handy for delivering walkers.

Since the LAAT was largely inspired by the Mi-24 hind, you could liken it's relation to the Nu with the relation between the Hind and something like the Mi-6 Hook. That or the Super Huey and the Osprey.

That’d be cool to see one just speed out the ramp

@@jacktheflash8478 exactly!

there's a reason why in our own history really only the Russian Hind is both a gunship and trooptransport (the LAAT took its inspiration directly from the Mi-24), essentially what makes a good troop transport (being able to qickly and efficiently deliver a useful amount of soldiers to a given target) and what makes a good gunship (heavy firepower, aggressive application to deal with major hostile threats, ability to maneuver freely around the battlespace as needed etc.) are polar opposites. Gunships are pretty much designed to get stuck into heavy fights and probably draw lots of fire, which is just not what a troop transport is supposed to do. Loosing a gunship sucks, but loosing an entire troop load of infantry plus a gunship REALLY sucks. Hind crews in Afghanistan reported to actively dislike carrying troops because it hindered them from being able to do what they considered their primary job, not only did they have to worry about the safety of the infantry in the back but it also meant the Hind couldn't use that space either for more ammunition or keep the troop bay empty and make the helicopter much lighter and more agile/faster. Combining the two roles sounds great on paper but in reality it doesn't work

Every faction needs a shuttle

The problem with making those changes to the LAAT is that, to keep the ship as well armed and to be capable of anything more than very short range space to ground travel you'd need to fit in a whole engine block and fuel cells (the LAAT is a thrusters only craft) and space for life support, the hyperdrive, water storage, consumable storage, etc. You'd either have to massively increase its size, thus making it a totally different class of ship, or remove a lot of its weapons, making it basically a Nu shuttle anyway.

@@VitaminsB1212 the way I see it is that your only using our history, our history has stingers. The LAAT itself has three point defence, four laser turrets(what's the chance of missing with that) and 4 specific air to air. This thing in the star wars universe can fight entire squadrons of Starfighters and as it so did the only thing it feared was direct fire(because star wars). Again, clones follow orders and aren't Russian egos and obviously be it transport or gunship, both will be targeted. The droids always had extra of everything, so the troops coming with its fire support was the best option for landing anywhere.

I think the only things you could add easily would be the Mass Driver Launchers Missiles on the wings could cause other issues as a good thing to hit given they would most likely be exposed, prime targets for a sniper

@@omega13whitelucario95 I was think more along the lines of putting the missile launchers in where the wings fold, replacing those cannons with missile launcher, and using the gunship wings to create lift in the same position they would on the gunship. So around the shield generator

@dragonblaster-vu8wz oh I see The "you see that? I don't want to anymore" solution XD Tbh that could work but would need some modifications for sure Definitely make a very nice boom though

I think with Mon Calimari ships there was no standard design as each was seen as a work of art and you don’t copy art so it might be a bit hard if each one is different

the missiles and crew aimed lasers on the model that had them proved to be too big a factor for close air support to get rid of i guess. a 50/50 mix woulda been great, nus in front to soak aa fire for laats to launch missiles from behind. not that it would work against flak fields but atlesat against fighter interceptors

Doesn’t the nu also get taken down with one hit as well? Or am I wrong?

@@jacktheflash8478 Nu has shielding, laat/i doesnt. which is fucking stupid considering its a heavy gunship / troop transport meant to fly through fighter walls and flak screens, while dropping off troops and hitting targets of opportunity / importance with MASSIVE POWERFUL EXPOSED missile launchers that DOUBLE AS THE ENGINE BLOCKS.

​@@EternalDawnThe LAAT doesn't have proper engines, it's a repulsor craft with thrusters. The vent between the missile launchers is the propulsion.

@@thepurpleapple ok, so instead of the method of not falling being next to the missile LAUNCHERs its nexxt to the missile AMMO RACKS. perfect, amazingly fantastic, 10/10 design choice.

Thanks! I actually am thinking about making super long combo videos on species or ships, character stories, that could be like 10h long to fall asleep too. Idk if this is crazy but I could add like rain rounds too

@@MetaNerdzLore lol no rain sounds please!! But combo videos arranged by time frames like Clone Wars era, Early Imperial etc would be awesome. I am a huge 3 3/4 quarter toyline collector and just purchesed the space version of the Republic Gunship. I think I picked up on one of your videos about how they can travel from a flagship to a planet surface, but not vise versa due to it's limited propulsion power-these details make the toys really come to life!!

They’re technically the same shuttle though. Since the Rho is part of the Nu Class Shuttle line.

@@FireheartSamurai it's related, but is shown to be a separate class.

Yeah true but the thing is there’s not many major differences between the Nu & Rho that would warrant a separate video though.

I’ve noticed the empire likes that design. The Lamda has it and they replaced the LAAT with the Nu which has it. I was gonna comment this exact same thing which is why I think it’s better as a behind allied lines transport or for diplomatic missions and or covert missions.

The LAAT also has a back ramp as well

⁠@@adamallen7070when was the LAAT replaced with the nu? Was it in a comic or book or the bad batch?

mmmhmm. nu cost more, and had no missiles, but it had the escape pod function so atleast pilots could survive, as well as a hyperdrive. like a blackhawk vs a hind.

I’ll do you one better try a R/D-77 Assault Shield from the 2020 Star Wars: Squadrons video game (turret style) on the Nu-class attack shuttle and 💥 shielding for two to four LAAT gunships and on the ground hook up three of their deflector shields in the gunship to walker formation Cody did during the second battle of geonosis (point rain) and double 💥 a instant front line operation base better protected from air assaults to boost😏. What do you think
