It kind of looks like weird looking brief case. Especially with the handle looking component.

Looks the "Wild Karrde" truly is wild.

Dewbacks are an important unit of measurement

Extended Universe star ships and lore is the best in Star Wars

Hold up was there not a military version of this ship? I believe I have used one like it in the empire at war forces of corruption game.

What about the Pirate Frigate variants found in “Empire at War”?

I keep seeing cargo capacities measured in tons in Star Wars, but wouldn’t volume make more sense when you’re flying through space? Even if you have to take the ability to haul cargo in and out of gravity wells (planets) into account, we see massive ships do that no problem with their magical repulsor lift tech. Massive cargo tonnage capacities seem less useful if you don’t have the volume.

Those Droids are from the 1971 Movie Silent Running.

I like it. Add some point defense weaponry, and you pretty much have a great smuggler ship.

Many months ago i had recommended this video to be made . Really happy that it was finally produced

I love those secret ships!

This kinda looks like those small vacuum cleaners xD

Thanks a whole bunch for this entertaning video!

Yes!!! I was just looking for metanerdz lore on the actionIV yesterday. You must have read my mind

Didn't the Zann Consortium use modified variants of those as combatships?

I've seen this ship, but haven't heard of it. Thanks for this, and keep up the awesome vids.

Amazing quality as usual mate keep it up!

Amazing video keep up good work

Loved these in "Rebellion" great ships for colonizing the outer rim.

Talk about all the species that can have children with each other and what the kids look like.

You know, after watching this I was suddenly reminded about the Mirax Terrik's Pulsar Skate of all ships, didn't find anything on a search through KZfaq either. There is some visual info in the X-Wing Rogue Squadron: The Phantom Affair Comic(Collection I believe)

It would be interesting to see just how much of a certain cargo you would need to be able to carry to make your fuel worth it. Obviously, less tons of spice than of bantha chops or whatever, but would be a fun analysis.

The Wild Kaarde is officialy my new favorite ship in Star Wars. I have spoken.

Ready for Action!

With how much some of those upgrades would cost, I'm surprised the Wild Karrde didn't cost more.

Of course this ship is tough. It's Corellian.

I really couldn't picture it until you broke out the Dewbacks, thanks

These things got turned into Interceptor Frigates I remember blowing them to pieces in Empire at War

Considering all the upgrades I think 3 million is a fair appraisal for the Wild Karrde's upgrades, a decent medical bay with droid has got to be half a million in that size. Also, seeing as he's a pirate, it probably didn't COST Talon 3 million, just the people he acquired the parts from ;p

Awesome!!!!

no joke as this video was playing talking about the Wild Karrde I had just stumbled on the sketchfab page of Kharak who has a lot of star wars models. I clicked on one of the ships at random without reading the name and then I realized it was the Wilde Karrde. There is no coincidence, there is only the force.

One of the best transports

Star Wars: Rebellion. I managed to conquer the Galaxy in that game - once for the Alliance, twice for the Empire (had to redo it because I didn't find mobile Alliance HQ): this was my go-to transport EVERY TIME.

I always liked ships that have a unique color scheme. We see way to many white/silver/grey ships that have some faction paint and some fancy blue lights on them. Something more rugged, beat up, and seemingly low tech is a nice refresher.

The ship could be made into a frigate had enough space to house a skipray in its hold and carry two fighters on external clamps.

please do a video about the Animorphs, MetaNerdz Lore. YOu could do several videos about the species and starships alone. It would be sweet to see a video talking about Andalites, hork bajir and yeerks

Hey, good idea using the semi trucks with trailer to communicate size using actual everyday things.

It's a really neat ship, it reminds me of Goto's yatch, just throw a big pool and you're set for life

Something that strikes me as odd with this is that the Baleen class ships, while 4 times the length, carry roughly the same amount of dewbacks in their cargo boxes as the GR-75. Unless the mouth of the ship was crazy, and it might be, this relatively small ship carries several times the Baleen does.

Wow that's so crazy Karrde is canon is some sense. I never imagined the Wild Karrde looking like that though haha.

Kinda weird that cargo capacity stats are in mass and not volume. I'd assume that the amount of space is more important than the tonnage.

Thing could probably be used as a mobile factory for some outer rim colonies

Very rich history.

The wild card nice 👍

Well nearly 3,000,000 Cr Upgrades cost makes sense, i mean, from class 3 to class 1 Hyperdrive, ca.45% speed increase in atmosphere, shield generator, Hangar bay (+ Fighters?), the "droid worker army"... then all the smaller upgrade.

Reminds me of the pirate frigate from empire at war.

"Wild Karrde" is too OP. Nerf! Nerf! *The Nerf fleet was destroyed by the Wild Karrde* Oh....no.

Do in depth on resistance troop transport

A fleet of gonks? This guy knew what’s up

Never noticed that ship before

I can definitely see how his ship would be worth such a ridiculous price. Cloaking tech, the ability to extend life support, plus warship tech over black market?

I'd be interested in seeing where in Canon you found that the Wild Karrde has a cloaking device? The only thing Tim Zahn ever mentioned about the Wild Karrde was that it had an advanced sensor stealth mode, which is significantly different than a cloaking device...

Cool video - love this ship. One thing however - we have to take ANY stats of any star wars ship with a grain of salt - especially based upon the various sources - many authors and creators did not have decent understandings of engineering, much less logistics or construction or - even references to other ships in the star wars universe (this has led to much angst by many gamers of various game systems trying to make sense of all the various sources (a supermax bulk carrier at over 3 times the size is only about 60k to 70k tons of cargo).

I always wondered what ship that was. I always paused and thought it was a shadow or something.

If you can't get any good hauling contracts, you can always make some cash by dust-busting all those dirty spaceports.

And there are the interceptor class ships. Armed with turbolasers, proton torpedos or missiles. The have an similar approach. Aren't they?

It was with the rebel fleet in force unleashed

I originally found this ship in a star trek game

TL:DR A better hyperdrive and enough guns to deter pirates and it would make a good general hauler for not too much more cost. While there's a lot of comments about modifying it into a *combat ship…* and it would make a great *Q ship* if upgraded with a lot of pop up turrets and hidden launchers. I think it would work best as a base design for a *protected freighter* for a medium sized company, maybe as a small fleet of ships (who can't afford massive haulers with escorts for major markets), it's always better to have combat ships built as such from the ground up (except for hotted up YT-1300's). Upgrade it with some weapons - whatever is legally allowed. Mostly laser cannons (a lot of pirates use snubfighters to disable their prey) and a couple of turbolasers. Although ions are the best just for stopping ships from getting close and can be fired when you're not absolutely sure it's a bad guy, but they're just behaving suspiciously. But the idea is deterrent, not being impounded as a illegal battleship, and still being able to haul a load. A rear mounted launcher or two just to suprise determined attackers is a good idea as well, but torpedoes are expensive and saved as a last resort The other upgrade is the hyperdrive, perhaps to a 1.5 to cut transit time and thus maximise profits. Going for something faster could risk reliability and also get very expensive, not worth it considering the reduced transit time pay off. Atmospheric speed isn't needed, it's not going to outrun a specialised raider no matter how modified (assuming financial restraint). The standard upgrades to sensors and communications so it has good situational awareness and that shouldn't be too expensive. Considering the investment of just the basic ship itself, these additional expenses make financial sense and greatly increase its usability. The biggest cost is the *better hyperdrive,* but that will pay for itself in a shorter trips. Sublight speed is not really a issue as flight time to and from orbit is a small part of the total journey. Weapons are the next biggest expense, and don't make any money, but are a one off insurance cost (excluding ammo), but say 4 quad laser cannon turrets (or 2 nine laser cannon turrets to save crew requirements…much quicker shoot downs), a pair of turrets with double turbolasers mixed in with a pair of ion cannons on the same mount, and two launchers mounted to the rear with say a dozen proton or ion torpedoes (to stop a bigger ship) shouldn't be a big jump on the base cost of the ship or increase crew requirements that much (only needed in combat, so can double up as general crew). Just spread the turrets around so they have good coverage, and maybe not go for such fancy mounts if off the shelf turrets can be bought and fitted out cheaply (a couple of extra crew positions for the extra turrets). Sensors (and communications) are independent of the ships size so just spend whatever is necessary on a bang for buck scale to allow it to see and hear trouble before it gets close (communications also helps with trade information). I assume the standard shields are good enough, if not they can be upgraded, but only if it would make a big difference. Anything else is a waste unless it's cargo related. No fighters carried as they … … … _fuck I ramble on_ I'll do a tl:dr at the top, which you've already read before you got here, so really you can go now. Although I would also get pop out spikes on the carry handle at the top in case a giant space alien tries to grab the freighter, you never know.

A shootable beam of air how come we never saw that before

It's single greatest innovation was a handhold, as it doubled as an _Action_ figure.

Cargo haul weight =/= capacity in volume. Also, 80,000 fucking tons? That's a goddamn modern Earth CRUISELINER. So the Action VI can lift the Princess of the Seas? (and a bit more)

Speaking of Dewbacks, have you ever thought about covering foods and drinks in the star wars universe? Ships are cool and all but mmm i wonder how those Dewbacks taste like.

Talon Kard in the wildKard do show up, I do believe in the Timothy‘s Zahn’s trilogy of Star Wars books maybe later but they are mentioned in the expanded universe.

These were in the Star Wars: Rebellion pc game, that may have even been their first appearance.

talon karrde had 3 of these, his main ship was the wild karrde.

Have you done one about the imperial prison trains like the one you have to stop in the first Rogue Squadron on the N64?

looks kind of like a bionicle foot

Would anyone else here totally play a Star Wars version of Elite: Dangerous? I mean, even if we stay with the size constraints of "nothing larger than a Corvette", SW has dozens of different ships at or below that size (Gimme a Rebel Blockade Runner) and the prevalence of modular Freighters could make for an excellent platform for that gameplay.

could you do a video on the Prison ship and it prisoners from the book (( Life Debt )) ?

Can you do other special forces groups? Like the rebels spec-ops marines, Nimbus commando or mistryl shadow guard

What no mention of the Zann Consortium converting Action IV transports into Interceptor IV frigates?

Interesting use of Drewbacks as a unit of comparison.........of course you also need compare the volume of a ship as a measure of amount of cargo that can be uplifted. For a comparison on earth ships, a ship (oil product tanker) that can lift 19,000 mts of cargo would have a length of about 125m, beam of 25m and height of around 12m. For an earth ship (crude oil tanker) that can carry 80,000mts of cargo the length would be about 225m, 35m beam and height of 16m.

They should make a real nerdy show on a life of a corellian aspiring to work in corellian engineering corporation

Nice video thank you So what was jabba the huts space ship ??

i dont recall talon being a pirate i thought he was the leader of a smuggling organization that basically took over or filled in the void left behind when jabba the hut was killed by luke from the timothy zahn series

Can you please make a video about the bulk cruiser?

Looks a little bit like the super tank from the front

The Oxygen cyulinder isn't that exotic, it's the same sort of Magcon field used for hangars or to maintain pressure (But not quite safely breathable O2mix) around the Falcon in the "Asteroid Cave" (Funnily enough there was an entire bit in a marvel comic that came out a good bit before ESB that had the falcon touch mag-con fields to a stolen imperial frigate's to make an exchange with only masks and maneuvering packs instead of bulky suits meant to resist decompression and temperature/radiation threats. (Which could also pack heavy armament hence neither side doing the handoff wanting the others to come out in discount spacetrooper armor)

I don't think the name "Action" would be a selling point for a simple everyday hauler...

Looks similar to the Dann Consortium Interceptor IV frigate.

Fleet of droids? Army of droids, maybe.

Swiss Army Knife My Gamer Tag has been WildKarrde for 23 years

0:57 The Ship's name is the Wild Karrde, not the Wild Card other than that great video Meta.

I kind of miss the Hutt carrying capacity comparison BTW what is the weight comparison between a hutt and a dewback and how much do they each weigh in pounds and kilograms?

You know, I just read through the Thrawn Trilogy recently and I feel like an idiot for not realizing the pun in “Wild Karrde” until it was spoken aloud here.

are you going to make a vid on the dp20 in the near future?

It kinda looks like a foot from a bionicle or hero factory lego set

Does this thing have landing gear? It's probably a stupid question, but it just keeps bugging me. Something that size, I'm just imagining a dozen AT-AT legs popping out the bottom.

"Know I know everything"

A flying shoe.

You should a video on the legends x-wing post Endor the T-65XJ3 X-wing starfighter

Another x wing series classic. Awesome, verty appreciated. Which came first though? I can't remember, Star wars eps II or x wing alliance?.

What is your theme music you use in your videos

What about the Jade fire?

Didn't the Trade Federation use them for landing during the Naboo Invasion?

It in empire at war forces of corruption

It's called action yet it looks like it would have a hard time racing against a GR75, I like it

Tech is very expensive you can easily spend millions of shield generators etc
