cockpit wrong side it should be similar to shipping. Similar to the YT-1300/

[@RifterBlade]

@@StevenHaze CEC offers cockpits on either side or in the center for the old YT-1300, so if you want to have it on the other side in your table top game, do as you like.

[@StevenHaze]

@@RifterBlade I was thinking from original trilogy lore, you might be more correct than I. I am unaware of the CEC concept.

[@RifterBlade]

@@StevenHaze A lot of it was created for the original novels and WEG RPG. CEC stands for Corellian Engineering Company, or something close, and since Han was Corellian they decided his ship was too. This let them create a whole backlog of Early designs that were almost the Falcon, but not quite. Much of this lore has been added to canon, but I'm no expert on which bits! I probably think about it too much in any case, but hobbies are fun and this is part of mine! You were fine m8, I forget not everyone has several gigs of data from old SW sites! :) Happy Holidays.

[@abigredbear]

I love that you almost instinctually got at the heart of the in-universe lore for the Falcon. They were meant to be HEAVILY customizable trading ships which is why we see a couple of cannon variants that all have that core axis but wildly different module placement. The idea of a "Heavy Hauler" variant compared to the Falcon's stripped down speed focused build feels so natural. well done!

[@jakefoley9539]

Excellent design. You absolutely nailed the "star wars look" while creating something appealing, distinct and original. I didn't even need you to tell me it was the Millennium Falcon's big sister; I knew that the moment I looked at it.

@@jakefoley9539 Thx :)

[@ronbrumble6493]

Amazing You have truly captured the Star Wars universe with this design. Disney should be looking for people like yourself, who have a love of Star Wars, to create new ship designs.

[@viceroy7792]

Tech, I am nearly in tears as I watch this video. The time, care and attention you have paid to this art comes through in each frame of this video. The cinematic snippet at the beginning was especially satisfying. The studios no longer care for us fans; we simply want a great story with exciting scenes of ships flying in the sky and in space. They refuse to cater to our simple needs. But what you have done here rekindles that excitement we have been missing for so long. Again, great work my friend. Keep going!! V

[@technouveau_art]

@@viceroy7792 I can’t speak to what the studios care about, but I’m certainly glad you like the video :)

[@seanmalloy7249]

On the other hand, having something like this shown in what amounts to a throwaway background element -- as unlikely as I think it would be for Disney to be interested in devoting that amount of work to something that didn't integrate tightly into the storyline -- would greatly increase the feeling of the universe as being more than just a picture frame the main characters pose in front of. That was one of the things that made ANH stand out -- the background elements were given almost as much consideration as the foreground elements, and you can see a steady dribble away of the importance of the backgrounds with each succeeding movie, with re-used and re-dressed props from earlier movies stood in for what should more properly have been their own designs.

[@CliftonWood]

Your design makes me exited to be a Star Wars fan. The idea of it being a tug, or a cargo hauler also aludes to an in-universe explanation for why the cockpit is placed on the side! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@technouveau_art]

@@CliftonWood Thx :)

[@lurakin88]

19:43 I agree with awkwardness not necessarily being a bad thing - it can give designs a lot of charm and personally I find that gun with its limited firing arc much more interesting than if it was "more effective"

[@technouveau_art]

@@lurakin88 Ome of us, one of us!!! ;)

[@seanmalloy7249]

You could also look at that weapons pod as an earlier incarnation of the weapons pod that got used on the LAAT/i employed by the clone troopers -- it was an option for the ZT-800, and after field use showed that it had some issues with arc-of-fire limitations, the design with the pod hung completely off the side of the vehicle was adopted for the LAAT/i purely to maximize its arc of fire.

[@kamehamehapierwszy920]

i especially like how corellian ships cant have more than one floor to maximize FLAT surface ensuring enemies have it easier to hit them kudos, real sportsmanship

[@technouveau_art]

@@kamehamehapierwszy920 xD

[@woscanl]

My armchair take is "how does it fly?" "What's it's profile when maneuvering against an opponent?" "If it's a hauler, was it even actually designed for combat, or is most of it's combat capabilities coming from after market modding..." Flat, but maneuverable, the front profile is a thin rectangle...So if you're sitting face on or broadside to enemy fire you're presenting the smallest profiles this ship offers...**shrug**...even running away has the thinnest profile this ship offers.

[@emperorofscelnar8443]

Looks industrial and warn out, plus I do agree that the back of the YTs should be all engines and fuel tanks.

@@gabrielherron8023 Awesome

[@RifterBlade]

HOLY.... ok, bud, you have made my morning! I have been looking at a lot of Star Wars ship designs lately preparatory to playing a tabletop rpg online with my friends and family, so I guess the matrix decided I needed this video. It was right for once, how about that? You can see below how blown away fans are by this work. It's the time and attention you've put into it. I will be rewatching this and making myself sit on all my ideas (not only am I not an engineer, I'm not a good modeler so I have to get others to refine my work if I need it looking nice). However, as someone who often makes up lore for items, ships, species, etc., you did cover a couple of points yourself. For one thing, this is an older design without the sleek lines of newer models, because it is a work-craft. CEC, maker of the YT-1300 the MF was based on (in lore, actually real world worked backward since a LOT of players wanted something that looked like the falcon, so figuring out what it was built from let them mess about making their own technological terrors to annoy the empire with!), is known for modularity and ruggedness, and you could say that this design complies with that. The unusually large maneuvering thrusters could be a side-effect of age, but also the need to keep huge containers, ships, parts of ships, etc. moving in tight order to avoid accidents and damage. The engine setup was something more seen with the YT and later series, but that series goes back a ways too. Too, maybe someone wants the MK II to be a later reuse, with updated tech but the same reliability as the older ones. Everyone's TT rpg canon goes differently at times. As for me, since I don't use 3D models yet (and got hacked recently, still trying to get some of that money back) I won't be buying the model just yet, hopefully I can in the future just to support you and your work. If I do drop one into a personal role-playing game, I will be sure the players know where it came from and get a link to this video (Note, I am talking about a personal table-top game where we all make stuff up, nothing is published or charged for, and we do not own the rights to systems we use in any case. No images or animations involved, unless they want to stop the game to watch the beginning of your video.). Ok, I think I've been verbose enough, but do let me say this: THANK YOU. For running with this inspiration, all the work you've put into it, and, especially, sharing it with all the other Star Wars fans. It is much appreciated. My .02 credits on the subject. 👍

[@kevin29121993]

First of all really nice model. Secondly, I'm Italian and the language isn't perfectly clear to me so I apologize for any errors. Looking at the design of the ship I saw that you mentioned the fact that for some people the secondary weapon under the pilot area seemed strange. (around minute 19.45) Honestly, I don't think it's strange, in fact in a real situation it solves a very serious problem that otherwise would exist: The cannons on the right side cannot fire effectively towards the left because they have the entire ship in the middle which projects a "cone of shadow". " and having a weapon in that position and in that way should be able to cover precisely those situations of an approach from the left. For firing in front there are already main batteries.

[@manostroulinos1726]

Amazing work, thanks so much for sharing your design thinking and the various decisions affecting the shape, balance, function etc. This kind of description is missing in similar channels as yours and it can be so valuable and educational. I love the 'greebling" and the texturing in Blender, following specific design and/or engineering ideas, it looks so "realistic" for the Star Wars universe. Totally agree about the engine compartment being 'full of engine parts' rather than storage rooms etc, it makes much more sense. I also loved the double cockpit module with the options for an escape pod or additional armament, very smart. My favourite design feature though must be the angled offset manoeuvring thrusters - this is brilliant! I always thought that manoeuvring thrusters (even tiny ones like in real spaceships) are sorely missing in Star Wars ships designs. Maybe this is because of he original ILM and George Lucas approach of making SW ships fly like WW2 aircraft, with only backwards facing thrusters - which over the years we came to accept as 'normal', even in space. So I think SW ships with side-thrusters and even forward-facing thrusters (for decelerating after a long run or when exiting hyper-space) are a major design improvement and would make sci-fi ships so much more 'realistic' and believable. I would even prefer it, if you had included another set of forward-facing angled thrusters (so 8 in total), for even more manoeuvrability. Design-wise it would look a bit clumsy and maybe not so pretty, but from an engineering point of view it could be even more 'realistic' 🙂🙂. Thanks again, please have more videos like this one if possible.

[@adtrlthegamer7449]

I couldn't help think of some sort of exoring/frame that goes around the ship, like a U so it leaves the front open, where it'll attach to the docking ports. You can then make the exo-U frame have legs, wheels, treads, so the ship can become a impromptu land craft, the legs could make it look like a spider after seeing a comment of how it could named a "Tarantula". Of course if needed can just detach and fly off.

[@amenofuri1154]

This is a wonderful concept and I would love to see it incorporated into the Star Wars universe! I have a few questions after watching your video and explanations. My first question is about the offset housing for the main gun turrets. Do you consider them to be manned turrets? If so, why did you place them so far from the center, which takes some time to be able to defend. Assuming all crew members are on the bridge, if an emergency occurs, it takes too much time to recognize the emergency, jump up from one's seat or perhaps climb up from the lower area under the bridge, run to the main gun turrets, climb in and ready them. So I imagine that you have designed the turrets as remote-controlled guns that are operated from the bridge. The second question refers to the stated crew of 3. The YT-1300 already required a crew of 5 to operate efficiently. This includes a pilot, a co-pilot, 2 gunners and an engineer. Shouldn't the crew of the ZT-800 be at least 6 people? In other words, a pilot, a co-pilot, 2 or 3 gunners and at least 2 engineers?

[@technouveau_art]

@@amenofuri1154 Great questions. As for crew, yeah that sounds better. As for the guns, it’s simply because I like how it looks, having areas of visual importance weigh esch other out. Nothing to do with logic, really.

Brilliant, but flawed. Most glaring is that the stock YT-1300 freighter wouldn't fly like the Falcon, so a larger freighter would be even less manueverable. Other than that, this is amazing model work. Looks like a robust design big enough to tug a Star Destroyer

[@MrAcuta73]

An amazing model! Truly some great work. Definitely a spiritual counterpart to the YT-1300 and YT-2400. Critique (fwiw, which ain't much): Mandibles should slope inward and the thrusters ahead of the drive seem out of place. That's it and just personal preferences.

[@varto07]

[@SoloSpartan1906]

I have ALWAYS been bothered by the "Gunnery Stations" on the Falcon because of its port and starboard side blind-spots which are exacerbated in the "big sister" design. It seems that in the UP-SCALED version that there would be an additional two gunnery stations on same cross access to solve this issue they were raided by pirates. BUT that critique aside - This is GREAT WORK!!! Any chance of Y-Wing variant. Man the talent Lucas should go to for future projects - you sir are one of them.

have the wings shaped to collapse perfectly against the hull. or retreat into a channel/housing. they are only atmospherically necessary anyway. it makes sense they would retract as they arent used 95% of the time.

It would be such an easy fanservice to show regular old Millennium Falcon but hauling containers like "it is meant to". Just using this concept could be a great story hook for an entire movie. Han Solo repurposed Falcon to be as light and as fast as possible so it essentially lost the function to haul cargo. Imagine if he saw his ship after loosing it and being used "as it should" and reacting: "What have they done to you?". After reclaiming Falcon we could see how he tries to fix it and bring back it's former glory.

[@mr.j1381]

Little bit of fan service is not bad, ships being thousand years old makes me want to know more is this for rouge squadrons ? I'm not too into nostalgia but I do like un semetrical ships, they are more attractive from this universe, still kinda cargo looking...

[@axelhopfinger533]

Pretty nice. I like the heavy duty look. Only gripe i have with this design is the same with most other YT ships: for actual transports, they lack any sufficiently dimensioned interior cargo bays. Also as flat as they are, they're effectively just single level interior. Making them a little higher for a second deck would add so much more usable interior space which could be used for cargo or crew facilities. And long range haulers do need a bit more roomy interior facilities and perhaps passenger accomodations, since even hyperspace travel can take quite a while. Days or even weeks. Also, instead of a double cockpit, how about a cockpit on an articulated (rotating) boom which can be raised above the fuselage or below it (for better view while flying/landing)? Because having the right side of the cockpit canopy effectively blocked by the ship hull means a massive and unnecessary blind spot for the pilot. At least you mounted your cockpit high enough so there's a somewhat clear view over the front mandibles.

[@technouveau_art]

@@axelhopfinger533 I don’t think interior storage is particularly credible. I like the idea of these being tugs first and foremost

[@axelhopfinger533]

@@technouveau_art Fair enough. It's just that all those YT ships are always classified as freighters or light transports instead of tug boats. Makes me wonder why they never made actual freighters with some interior cargo capacity? I mean, all it takes for a usable light transport would be cargo bays the size of two or three standard shipping containers. Think you could fit those into your design somehow? Maybe add a smaller upper deck structure for crew quarters, leaving the lower section almost entirely for cargo bays. At least that's how i would do it. Of course, then you'd have to relocate the gun turrets or extend them, because the upper deck structure would block much of their effective firing arc.

[@dennisjensen2239]

New to the channel - Love the work you put into the piece - look forward to perusing your videos 😊 😅Suggestion from someone who is just able to do stick figures on paper: I love the thought of the mandible having a functional use. If you ever decide to explore this feature further, then perhaps consider switching from stacked cylinders in a push configuration, to perhaps having the mandibles locking into a V-shaped superstructure on top of a single container, or barge with multiple smaller containers - essentially in a pull configuration underneath under the ship (like a remora fish). The beefy landing gear could perhaps lock in clamps or magnetically - essentially landing on top to further secure the bond. (more tanky - perhaps the shields can protect the cargo) Inspiration for a barge could be drawn from miniturizing the ”class four container transport” seen in Star Wars rebels. The old school boxy cargo containers from the x-wing/tie fighter games of old, like ”Class-J cargo container” or ”Class-A cargo container” might be a nice nod to old legends stuff.

In fact, I'd love to see a "smuggler custom" version like this, with double gun emplacements on the port side, a centralized YT-2400 cockpit, 2 cargo grapplers (1 to either side of the cockpit), two more dorsal/ventral gun positions aft, and 2 heavy guns mounted in the tips of the mandibles (twin light turbolasers). The heavy cargo magnetic field projectors are replaced with power amplifiers for the heavy guns, upgraded shields, and upgraded sensors.

I forgive your being a not-so-good-speaker..(I can't see myself doing better ), because you're clearly an awesome designer-!! I myself, already imagined "THE MELENIUM PHOENIX" with basically the mostly the same everything..except the command station has a twin simetrically placed...operated by pirate lady and her wife.. telepathically linked in both sides. Love beast you have constructed. Keep up the good work.
