Also, because the Lambda-class shuttles were based off of the Rho-class's predecessor, the Nu-class, finding or adapting parts should be very easy.

The AIAT at the end reminds me a lot of the Bebop. I guess a starship designed for aerodynamic water landings and full of bounty hunters would do that. For me, I'd want a small crew of trusty lads and lasses (having someone to watch your back when tracking down bounties is a huge help), and look for a Gozanti. It's kind of ho-hum to look at, but with the right mods and upgrades... Well, there's a reason why they're still flying despite being older than most of the crew's grandparents. Being able to dock and carry smaller ships is something most of the ships on this list can't do, and gives our outfit a lot of flexibility. Going with a ship that can function as a carrier or mothership means I don't have to choose between either a Y-Wing _or_ a U-Wing. We could grab one of each. It also gives us plenty of space, and that's important for a bounty hunter. Not just for the needs of basic living facilities, specialty gear storage, and holding spaces for bounties, but you'll be spending a lot of time on board. Having room to do maintenance, research dirt on targets (and clients!), plan operations, patch up cuts and burns, or even just stretch out and maybe exercise a bit between ground ops is important.

It's why the Empire used them for system patrols against pirates and whatnot. In the hands of a compitent team of BHs, it could really put a dent in low to mid level gangs. I ALSO vote Gozanti for a BH platform that missed the cut.

They're cheap as used items, and likely have parts scattered everywhere. I can even see one of the "panel wings" being replaced by an entirely different configuration due to some sort of "part unavailability at the time". Ex-Trooper-turned-hunter sorta thing.

One that'd make for a really good bounty hunter ship right out of the box is the Sentinel-class landing craft. It's like a Lambda-class but but bigger and more shielded. The downside is it lacks the Lamda's rear-facing laser cannon. The upside is that its forward firepower is quite good, with 8 laser cannons, 2 concussion missile launchers, and a retractable ion cannon turret. An ion cannon is always really nice for bounty hunting, because if your mark is fleeing in a ship you can disable it with no risk of vaporizing them in the process. And that big troop compartment gives you plenty of room to convert into both sleeping quarters for yourself and holding cells for your prisoners. The only downside is that to use it at full efficiency, you'll need at least one gunner for that ion cannon turret. So unless you've got a partner you can actually trust (a bit of a rarity in the bounty hunting business), you probably need to buy a droid for that role. (Or a pilot droid to fly the ship while you're operating the turret.)

I think there is an excellent parallel between SW bounty hunting ship choices and the vehicles used during Prohibition by moonshiners and rum runners. Moonshiners used regular cars modified to carry cargo without attracting attention unless you opened the hood. Rum runners off the east coast were similar, using surplus Liberty aircraft engines from WW1 easily outrunning US Coast Guard vessels. There was a shipbuilder in Rhode Island that built the rum runner ships after hours that eventually was approached by the USCG to build ships to chase down the rum runners. Great video fleshing out the world of galactic Bounty Hunters.

A venator class could be used as a bounty drop point for a hunting organization Example: the side hangers are for the individual hunters and put cells in the central hangar and let the prisoners know if they get to rowdy you can open the armored dorsal door

I think any of the smaller YT series like the YT-1000, YT-1200, YT-1210(company Mod 1200), YT-1250, YT-1760, YT-1730, & YT-2500. All are very fast and maneuverable, with multiple hard points for more weapons. Stock models often comes with one defense turrent, but mainly their are ordered and sold customized by the customer. The crew ranging anywhere from 1 to 3 they can still be operated by one. The 2 or more cargo Bays can easily be converted to small holding cells, are Carbonite slab holders. Note: the YT-1760 speed and maneuverability is one of the best of the series yet the shields are weak, sacrificing small bit of cargo space for stronger Shields is best. Dropping from 10 Metric tons to 9.5 Metric tons.

There's two sizes of that HWK290 now. The bigger one probably better for Bounty Hunting. U-Wing is a great choice for balancing fighter like action with a modicum of comfort (though you'd need to keep your captive unconscious for any kind of peace!). Also, you Wouldn't catch me flying around in some star fighter for days crapping into a bag so that U Wing better have a pull out refresher! A lot of people are saying the Sith Infiltrator but apart from there only being one of those around and it belonging to Palpy it would be a nightmare once it started breaking down due to all the bespoke bits. Think my ideal bounty Hunter ship would be a YT2400, smaller than a YT1300 or a VCX100 with a good gunship profile and great speed.

@@robertdrexel2043 just looked it up, quite right, it would take quite a bit of effort to get it near to the scimitars specs, it's a rich persons ship so it would probably be expensive to repair and can't imagine a bounty hunter would be able to replicate that cloaking device but apart from that, absolutely that's an excellent bounty hunter ship.

the police transport would make an incredible bounty hunting ship for a 2 man crew with the troop bay being converted into a tiny sleeping quarters with a small 1 or 2 person holding cell, the crews primary bounty focus would be either bail jumpers or court dodgers (basically petty criminals that nobody else wants to deal with) it would be a semi safe bounty that would work for the small 2 man crew to gain experience, honestly thinking about all this now, i kinda wanna make a mock up, repaint the ship in a light white with either red or orange accents (orange being one of my favorite colors for accents)

The Gamma class ATR-6 and the Delta class DX-9 would make excellent bounty hunter vessels, and while both are military in nature, with the crumbling of the Empire and the Republic not going to go as heavy on weaponry any longer, they are bound to be out there in great numbers. Especially the DX-9, as it was already heavily used by pirates and mercenary groups.

The ARC-170 was a precursor to the X-Wing, and I feel like it could make a great bounty hunting ship. Much like the Y-Wing, most ARC-170s we’re sent to junk yards after the Empire emerged. The ship had room for a pilot, co-pilot, gunner, and an astro-mech. The co-pilot and/or gunner space could be converted into a prison cell for bounties.

My ship of choice would have to be the "Flying Brick" YV-929 Armed Freighter. I'd have a bounty hunter crew instead of running solo so I'd need something good, something that can take a beating and still have more than enough firepower to come out on top every time. Ample enough storage space for weapons, gear, food and medical supplies, with comfortable crew quarters and more than enough room for multiple bounties. And if bounties are slim picking the ship could still haul freight or valuable/expensive cargo on the side.

From years of playing the various games (pen and paper, pc, etc) the ships I tended to think of for bounty hunters were actually the basic light freighters modified just enough to get the job done for most tasks. It wasn't till long into the careers you need something like Slave I or the like with tons of features and armaments. You'd basically work like a smugger, blend in so they don't notice you.

The Y-wing approach is perfect for anyone not looking for a space RV, especially with the suggested prisoner pod modification. The small size makes operating costs more economical and is easier to find proper landing sites away from civilization. You know, where a bounty might hide. Some aftermarket mods can likely increase sub-light speed, if that's a concern.

Honestly just about anything from CEC's light freighter catalogue would work with proper modifications. And the same ease of modification that makes CEC ships great for being turned into smuggling ships would make them great for being converted for bounty hunting too. Maybe more so since you don't need to worry about keeping a lot of cargo space on hand, giving you more space to put in bigger hardware for shields, weapons, etc. Exhibit A would be Bossk's Hound's Tooth, a modded CEC YV-666.

St-70(yes same type as the razor crest) probably substantially refitted and extensively upgraded 3. Aurore class freighter, also with a substatial refit and upgrade so it can keep up with everything, possibly even an extra floor as a complete living compartment with a full bathroom with a shower and toilet
