FINALLY someone giving the ARC-170 some well deserved credit as a potential bounty hunting ship, that thing is MASSIVE, and has all the features that youd want out of a good bounty hunting ship

What would you do for a toilet?

Bounty huntin’s a good job mate. It’s challenging work, out in space, and I guarantee you’ll not go hungry. Cause at the end of the day, as long as there two people left alive in the galaxy, someone’s gonna want someone captured. xD

Ain’t that the truth!

I'm more interested in smuggling, so I was thinking of the light freighters, particularly a member of the CEC YT series. The Nu class shuttle is an interesting design. My biggest concern is that it might raise a few too many eyebrows. For smugglers and bounty hunters, it is best to keep a low profile.

I think it depends on where in the timeline you are for the Nu. During the Clone Wars or early years of the Empire it would certainly be suspicious to rock up in a clearly stolen military shuttle, but by the time of the Civil War it probably wouldn’t turn any heads. IRL, there were farmers in Europe using Sherman tanks with the turrets removed as tractors and bulldozers, so I would think retired military equipment would be sought after for legitimate business purposes in Star Wars, too!

ZH-40 for me, with upgraded engines and shields... Oh yeah😊

I like most of these. Not the ARC170 or the Y-Wing though. And I am way too Anti-Seperatist to touch one of their ships. But I find myself strangely obsessed with Gozanti’s. The CROC class only needs one pilot apparently but there is something about the Imperial model’s wings… I’d need a ship with a bathroom naturally. So many fans forget about that kind of thing.

I just assume any ship with space to walk around in it and a hyperdrive probably has a vac-tube tucked away behind some wall panel in the back somewhere!

My choices would be either the Lancer class pursuit craft, Theta class shuttle or a U-wing. The Lancer because its basically ready made for bounty hunting. Heavily armed, well protected, fast and nimble, spaces interior, comfortable living space. Downside is it would require additional crew to operate the guns effectively - this could be an apprentice and/or a droid. The Theta because of its speed, size and interior + i thinks its one of the prettiest ships in star wars. The U-wing for the same reasons you mention the ARC-170 and the Y-wing, i just thinks this craft fits the role better with its interior space.

My vote is for the Lancer. It one of my favorite Star Wars ships. It's just too bad we've never seen a live action version of one as a hero ship in a Star Wars movie or TV show. The brief glimpse of one you see parked in the shipyard on Ferrix doesn't count.

I discovered your channel a couple days ago and your content is freaking cool! Subbed and liked. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I’m glad you like it!

Would personally splurge for the C-ROC gozanti with the Corsair retrofit and the many extras that come with it. You get the reliability and toughness of the class plus you can find the parts anywhere in the galaxy. More than enough room to mod and expand as needed for crew ( organic or droid ) and prisoner alike. And like the vid said, if bounty hunting becomes unexciting, it would make for a great merc unit ship.

I think that the Skipway Blast Boat with its strong armament, ion cannons and sensor jamming configuration would be the perfect bounty hinter ship.

I have always thought the LAAT gunship would make a great bounty hunter/smuggler ship. It's later models were space worthy, and could easily fit a hyper drive like the stealth variation had, and more than enough room for bunks, large cargo space, and holding a pair of speeder bikes. It has a good weapons platform too.

i like that the first recommendation is freighters, light or otherwise, because if at some point one decides that bounty hunting is actually not their speed, they can turn around and try their hand at cargo hauling, and see how that pays. (or if nothing else, you could split the difference, and do one or the other as the opportunities arise ?)

@RadioFreeCoruscant

Yeah, or you can also do cargo hauling in between bounties and as a cover for your more illegal business!

TIE REAPER!! Nuf said

How about a "liberated" Lambda or even a re-conditioned and modified Hutt Caravel (Hyperdrive, loose "sail")?

@RadioFreeCoruscant

Those would be excellent choices as well!

When I was working as an enforcer I found that my trusty ol' CR-90 is excellent for capturing and bringing in bounties by the dozens for the boss. If you keep it maintained and looking pretty most Port Authority idiots will think your some upper crust aristocrat and leave you alone. Great for many criminal enterprises.

Honestly the yv-929 is also a very interesting option Honestly because it's heavily armed and needing only 1 pilot and 2 gunners and with the weapons it still is able to carry 150 metric tons of cargo. A possibility is to make the guns with with the pilot and (astromech)droids for cheaper workforce and then still have space to still work and even live without constandly seeing your bounty since it has 3 levels one being living quarters

I will definitely choose the sheithepede or a light freighter

If it has to be any light freighter, i would go with the YT 2000 or any of the centrally adjusted cockpit so your aiming is easier. Your never going to use the cargo much unless your doing a side gig hauling freight or planning on being out there for long stints.

HWK-290 light freighter would be a good fit for that list. Aside from question of accessibility of the acquiring one on the market - the wiki sets it within Nu-Class price territory. It has flight characteristic of a starfighter [aside from weaponry] and as a courier ship can be used for long range travels and even housing a very small cell or two [or just rack for a carbonite-infused storage]. If its good enough for star wars`s Chuck Norris, its good enough for me.

That would be good- perhaps a bit small, but better than a starfighter by any means.

Well there is more then one Slave 1 type and more then one razor crest design ship in the galaxy so if they are the best then yeah thats is what you want....

I think if you modded an LAAT with a hyperdrive and holding cells it could make for a good ship. It’d definitely need a few weapons upgrades though

@AlphaRaptor2k6

By the time you're through(with 'upgrades'), you've basically got a jankier Razercrest(which may have been the in universe reason for its creation), so why not save some time(and credits) and just buy one of those and upgrade it. The LAAT is meant to go from a mothership(in orbit) thru the atmosphere to land(while doing a bit light AA(anti air) and CAS(close air support) along the way).

@@AlphaRaptor2k6 I wanted to use something else besides the Razor Crest since Din already used it. I was also going in with the mindset of using cheap military surplus and upgrading it over time. I know the original plan for the LAAT was a transport, but the genius of the design by Rothana is that it has a lot of potential for modification/customization. It’s not my most ideal ship granted, but I thought following the first starting out and using a cheap ship would be a fun idea to try

@RadioFreeCoruscant

7 ай бұрын

That would be interesting! The stealth LAAT has a hyperdrive, so it probably isn’t too difficult to outfit them with one.

The Clone Wars Consular cruiser would’ve been better than the Gozanti

Too hard to pick a favorite, they all have their specialities.

Frankly, I prefer my converted 72' Ford Pinto, is small, light, and will fly through any stormtrooper checkpoint - mainly because no one wants to look at it

Slave 1 looks good until it starts flying.
