_" When cannons are the only thing, yeah, everyone had cannons. When cruise missiles are also a thing, that's not just put on anything."_ The thing is, cannons are relatively cheap when it comes to the weapon itself and to the ammo it uses. Also, they are usually quite easy to maintain. Cruise missiles are not. They are insanely expensive, high maintenance and they require a high number of skilled crew members in order to maintain and operate them. Also, they are not exactly easy to come by. But then again, why would you use something like a cruise missile when cheap guns that are easy to operate and to maintain will do the job just fine? Remember, that thing already has turbo lasers, which means it packs a _massive_ punch, missiles or not. And the US Air Force is starting to use small propeller-driven planes for certain tasks again. Why sending an extremely complicated and expensive jet fighter when a small propeller plane can do the same job for only a fraction of the money and with only a fraction of the crew that is required and maybe can even do it better?

'Course, it helped that I usually had a few Rebel scum in the 'ol prison bay to get across exactly whose side I was on. Guess I bet on the wrong gundark, though. Not many that look too favourably on Imperial Loyalists after the revolution.

According to Specs it's a little shorter than the Millennium Falcon so if you added extra cargo bay it would be right about the same length as the falcon put some better engines on it put a better hyperdrive with the aforementioned weapons and Shields and now you have a very very serious gunboat.

Yeah it has a lot of firepower for its size, but almost all of it is in the form of fixed, forward facing, cannons. Where are the moving turrets? Freighters don't get attacked from the front. If it gets attacked from behind all it has are a few missiles, and if it's attacked from the side... SOL. This thing isn't built to defend, but to attack. Its like it was custom built for pirates and rebels. Its fast and can deliver a lot of firepower to something ahead of it, preferably small capital ships... its a hit-n-run attack freighter. I really wonder what the designers for Star Wars were thinking sometimes, all the ships have such glaring issues. Like exposed bridges, huge blind spots, no weapons on the bottom, no weapons on the back, no point-defense on capital ships, etc. Its like they didn't realize that they are operating in a 3 dimensional battlefield.

Next is the N-1, preferably with astromech. It would be for if I want to show off. Third is a more human friendly version of the STAP. 4th definitely the LA-AT. It would be nice to have removable chairs and racks with tie downs. Both could have an interchangeable lock in system; chairs for more passengers, racks for transporting small things and empty for large items like furniture (it might need a way to deal with the aforementioned system). Ok, the 5th vehicle would be the AT-TE. Obviously for most of these I would want a crew of some kind, but non-vehicles to bring back is a different story.

The Empire did have a point, it's a heavy hitter head on, with no point defense at all… It's not an armed freighter, it's an attack freighter ! Let me explain… Those guns (except for the ion cannon) are in fixed forward mounts. So this is just a big unwieldy turbo laser and blaster equipped fighter that has to be pointed at the target. It would be a sitting duck for snub fighters except for the concussion missiles, and once those are gone (or if the fighters hang above, below or on the side, basically anywhere but front or back) it's toast. The weapon layout is more suited for attacking medium shipping in front of it, basically it's optimised for raiding, not protecting against raiders. It's a fresh out of the box pirate ship. See freighter, catch up to it with superior speed, fire powerful main guns at shields, weapons and engines and use ion cannon for final disable. Threaten destruction or just board, the only issue is access via cargo ramp. It's main defense against attackers is to turn and fight head on, and hope that it's more maneuverable, or just stop and spin to aim, which sacrifices it's speed advantage. Otherwise expend limited expensive missiles on a ship that's supposed to turn a profit. A far better design would be to move the turbo lasers to turrets and add laser cannon (from the wing mounted blasters ?) turrets as well, either have mixed mounts of both types in two turrets on opposite sides (either top and bottom, or side by side). Or have four turrets, two turbo laser, two laser cannon, one on each side/top/bottom, but that increases gunner requirements. And why did it need three gunners in standard format ? The turbo lasers and blasters could be fired by the pilot by aiming the ship, that left the ion cannon in a front chin turrent for those considerate enough to attack a armed freighter head on, and the missile launchers…Hang on, did each launcher have it's own dedicated gunner ? The Millennium Falcon or similar ship could tear it apart by hanging to the side and wearing it down with turrent guns while avoiding the killzones with superior maneuverability. It has obvious, well known clearly defined weapons coverage dead spots, basically anywhere but the front (and the rear if you don't have missile countermeasures or can't shoot them down !). Any nimble ship with a turrent could niggle it to death as long as the missiles can't turn back and hit a target hanging next to the ship. Now a freighter is supposed to deter attackers by firing at them with (cheap plentiful gas ammo) guns while running, so they realise that if they pursue they will cope a lot of damage and may be disabled. Not launch part of its limited missile inventory at anyone that gets to close, which is hard to do as a warning shot and expensive. Now what would be interesting is what could be done to it with modification. Adding lots of extra point defense guns (and the power to run them) and converting the cargo space to missile magazines. It's then a powerful gunboat before you even start with performance upgrades and milspec sensors ect. But as a freighter that's supposed to deter pursuers it has obvious weak spots. As the one doing the pursuing it's already optimised.

You act like a lot of pilots wouldn't immediately see these shortcommings and start modifyingit, and the design itself probably lends itself to modding even though it comes out of the box with a really heavy punchy set of fixed weapons.

It's faster then the Falcon so it would be hard to use as you describe when it could out manuever the falcon or out run it while firing missiles at it then come about and unload on it. In order for the falcon to win it needs to be faster.

I really like this ship, lol, we were playing SW RPG 3.5 version, lol, and my smuggler saw one sitting in a imperial impound lot. bought it for like a quarter the price cause it was stripped of all weapons. lol, thankfully its a CEC and modiular like the yt-1300s to a degree. lol, cranked the engines up a bit to 1100 kph. lol, some shields, and hidden banks of quad cannons (4 on each side, 180 degree turret) and some various other crap. lol, it was a fun ship

I like this ship, although I think it would need a couple anti-starfighter laser cannon turrets, similar to those on the falcon, since sure this is powerful, but only directly in front of the ship, which makes it more for offense as defense.

If I was to get my hands on this ship I would most likely use it in a pirating role, I would also give it a new paint job of black and red and also paint a massive scary face on the front, and finally I would paint my insignia on either side of it which would consist of a skull with an eye patch over it’s right eye, a pair of cutlasses crossed over behind this skull and just for good measure all of this would be located within an upside down love heart to symbolise the opposite of love. I would also name it the Kraken

I honestly think a YV-929 a bigger size so it could have a docking bay, and with a hammer head and armor like the gozanti class cruiser after upgrades but with better armaments, something I never figured out is why more larger ships in star wars did not have a massive barrel running down the length of them armored and hidden or other such in customized designs. a YV-929 if they made it twice or three times or four times the size of the YT-1300 or such would have been interesting maybe.

When the flying brick is tougher, well armed and harder to take down than your Imperial Class star destroyer even though it's smaller than most ships. So you've decided to ban it because out of jealously, your Star Destroyers gets blown up by a small fighter while the flying brick manages to get away without a sweat despite you ordered all turrets on your destroyer to focus fire on it and using the term "fear of Rebel usage", as an excuse to cover up the embarrassment.
