My problem in general with Star Wars ships is that they don`t seem to make technological jumps at all. We can go back 10.000 or 50.000 years and the ships look the same. For the early sith era comics they made new designs in the comics, but afterwards they all look like they look in the modern star wars movies somehow. I don`t know if a sith ship from knights of the old republic would be any better or worse than "modern" ones.

@@thomask5434 They look the same, but the technology isn’t. It’s basically the principle that once a design that works has been found it won’t be altered much. Take for example firearms: guns from 100 years ago basically have the same general parts as our modern guns. There is a chamber, there is a trigger assembly, there is a magazine, a barrel and a muzzle. Many have tried to bring forth new concepts, but it all eventually fails and what’s left will be these components.

The remaining acclamators were used as cargo or prison vessels I think. But at the point of the empire there was not real reason to transport this many troops all at once. Also palpatine wanted to quickly replace all Republic vehicles,ships, equipment etc. To signify that a new era has become and that the Galaxy is stronger than ever.

11:30 I just want to point out that those numbers for the acclamator 2 came from the "Starships of the Galaxy" rulebook for the "Star wars RPG" game. In that the crew size for both are the same. The difference between them are the "1" can carry more vehicle and the "2" is more heavily armed. Years later, the stats for the "1" was updated but the "2" stayed the same. That why you see the numbers are off

if I were to redesign this, I would have it have top and bottom turbo laser's to better defend itself, along with point-blank quad ball laser cannons on the top and bottom of the ventral section of the ship since it doesn't have a ventral hangar bay and also have many Ion cannon's and missiles as well to disable ship's to get past them instead of destroying them and it would also have some starfighter's for its space battles as well as lower that bridge, and even have duel bridges like the Venator since that help's with survivability and have its engine's covered in armor like a Cal Calamari ship is, and while we're at it, we can also add the same shield's as well it keeps its role as a transport ship, but this help's in its survivability, and its combat potential, I would hardly use this ship in combat directly, but this is in case it's forced to and need's to make a recovery, as well as make sure the ship has a much needed upgrade

I haven't had a chance to actually follow through on this but I had an idea for a roleplay campaign in Edge of the Empire by fantasy flight. An Acclamator is the perfect colonization vessel. For a brief period in the early empire there was an idea to seed the mid to outer rim with loyal imperial colonies. Using Acclamators was an easy way to get rid of some of the stock. Thus you are part of an initial colony in the post clone wars era.

@@tbotalpha8133 they actually had competitors, in the form of the rebel alliance. They had a need to land massive amounts of troops several times, like on Hoth. Only bringing down a few troops are not the way you do it in combat. You need all your available troops in a massive ship, which can handle several smaller ships, and still be able to land. You need a big ship you can land on the ground, that's bigger that the biggest of shuttles and walker transports, and still be small enough to land on the ground. This ship is actually perfect for the empire, when you think about it. The Empire has too few big transports, and only relying on shuttles and AT-AT transports are not a reliable way ro transport in the long run. You need transports that are big enough to defend themselves and carry enormous loads of cargo and troops. The battle of Hoth and later Jakku, plus a ton of other battles/invasions proce that. The Acclamator is the only ship that csn do everything at once, and at the same time. Had the Empire kept the Acclamator, they would've had an easier time to actually fight the rebellion, and not send small ships that's blown up as fast as it enter a system. A shuttle and other small transports might be cheap, but they don't last for very long. The Empire is not the Rebellion. The Rebel Allianxe uses smaller transports, not the Empire, and the Rebel Alliance won mostly because they actually used ships like stolen or forgotten Acclamators and other transports in the same size, or other ships in a similar size, like the GR-75. The Rebels won, because they were able to bring everything they had and needed with them for a battle or invasion, and because they used the right tactic, and using transports like stolen Acclamators and other, similar transports, is a logistical tactic that makes sure you win wars. It's thanks to ships like the Acclamator and other transports that the Rebel Alliance won the entire war. I can go on about this, but i'll let you catch up

@@Chisszaru I went looking at Wookiepedia for information to form a counter-argument, and I found out that the Empire apparently DID keep using Acclamators after the Clone Wars (in the Expanded Universe). So this entire exchange is based on a misconception. But I'm going to ignore that, because I wrote a great big argument in defence of the Imperial-I Star Destroyer, on the assumption that the Acclamator had fallen out of use, and it would be a shame to let all that writing go to waste. And besides: it's still basically true in the Original Trilogy movies, which is what we were arguing about, so I think it's fine. So, regarding Echo Base, according to Wookiepedia: "At its height, the base housed 7,500 combat and command personnel, 350 medical personnel and 120 droids. The hangar was large enough to simultaneously house at least thirty GR-75 medium transports, sixty Rebel starfighters, twelve snowspeeders, the Millennium Falcon and the Outrider." 7500 combat personnel and 350 medical personnel, for a total of 7850 people. That's how many ground troops the Empire would need to land on Hoth, to match the Rebels man-for-man. An Acclamator could carry 16,000 Clone Troopers (Wookiepedia). An Imperial I-class Star Destroyer could carry 9,700 Stormtroopers (Wookiepedia). Both could land troops on a planet, and in high enough numbers to outnumber the Rebels at Echo Base. But the Imperial I could also carry a full fighter wing, allowing it to provide air support and cover to its own infantry. While the Acclamator only carried armed dropships, leaving it dependent on supporting vessels like Venators for fighter coverage. Furthermore, think about how many Rebel installations the Empire had dealt with, on the scale of Echo Base, BEFORE the battle in ESB. Not many! The Empire had mostly dealt with putting down local revolts and quashing unrest. Something which the Imperial I was much better suited for, since a single one could deliver a legion of Stormtroopers and a full TIE wing to anywhere in the galaxy. If you needed more than that, send another Imperial I! Hell, send 2 of them! They're all identical in crew and craft, so you always know what you're getting. The Empire built its navy to deal with the security problems it was facing at that moment, and problems it foresaw in the future. It was dealing with lots of dispersed, low-intensity fighting, and the Empire expected that to remain the norm going forwards. Or even for the fighting to die down over time, as the Empire's control tightened. The Imperial I was well-suited for dispersed peacekeeping; the Acclamator wasn't. The Empire did not expect a force like the Rebel Alliance to arise, or for them to become powerful enough to face the Empire as peers. And when that started happening, the Empire did not have time to build new Acclamators. They went to war with the ships they had: lots and lots of Imperial Is. And by the time the Empire realised they needed a ship like the Acclamator, the Second Death Star was already confetti, and the Empire had ceased to exist as a unified polity. Which made it *somewhat difficult* for any Imperial commander to get more ships made.

@@tbotalpha8133 the Acclamator was actually able to give air support. It was after all armed with cannons and anti air guns, even if it weren't many turrets it had. It could actually even do the base delta zero, or orbital bombardment, maybe not the a large scale, but still. That wouldn't be too bad against a smaller shield generator, and the one one Hoth could only be handled by a larger ship, like a Venator or even a bigger star destroyer. What i know, the Imperial I wasn't built to actually land on planets, not witout a system like they used for the Venator, which we saw in revenge of the sith on Coruscaunt. Thwy didn't actually land the Venator on Kashyyk, as it was basically hovering in the air, and they used a special built ramp to unload it. It's logistically harder to unload any of the Empire's star destroyers than the Republican star destroyers, and of all star destroyers, the Acclamator is actually the easiest to unload. You don't even need to bring and transports for the troops or vehicles inside. You don't even need to bring fighters or bombers, just ground vehicles. If you want to really be sure the Acclamator can land safeöy and protect it, drspite it being able to protect itself, just do what the Empire did in EP 5, and have a fleet, with several Acclamators, corvettes, frigates, carriers, battleships, other ships bigger than the Acclamators and thousands of fighters, bombers, interceptors, a few shuttles, other smaller transports, other big transports and a command ship. Ships aren't really meant to go somewhere by themselves, unless it's a civillian ship or belongs to a smuggler or any other criminal. The Empire did the right decision in sending an entire fleet, because a well oiled war machine with ships sends a fleet of a few hundred ships, and at a bare minimum 10 ships, depending on mission and what type of mission it is. Considering the size of Death Squadron, the fleet led by Darth Vader, it was the fleet we also see in return of the jedi, protecting the second Deathstar, which is around 30 ships, they could easily have at least one or two Acclamators. Like you said, the Empire wasn't smart enough to use the ships they actually needed, until the end of the war, until at least the battle of Kuat and the battles after that. It wasn't really until the battle of Kuat, both the planet and the space ring around Kuat that the Empire realized that they needed all the ships they could find and get. The Empire did use a lot of AT-TEs, AT-ATs and some other walkers to defend the ring around Kuat. An Imperial I might be enough, but a Acclamator is always better, because you never know how a battle will turn out to be. And the Empire did capture some rebels, which by themselves need transports for intergogation on a different ship. An Acclamator can do a bit of everything really, and it is a ship worth having in any fleet, big or small, and if it isn't for transport, it can be to take out other lightly armed ships the same size or smaller, and while the Acclamator isn't known to be a ship for fighting other ships, it still is armed with a few cannons and point defence turrets, for dighting other ships and starfighters, bombers and interceptors, plus shuttles and other smaller ships. The main useage is still troop transport and transportation in general, so if not troops, then definitly walkers other ground vehicles, pre-built fortifications, ready to be assembled on a planet, smaller ships or even cargo like ammunition and food for the troops. The Acclamator does have a ramp after all, making it easier to load and unload. While it was never meant to slag it out in ship to ship combat, like an ISD, or even be a carrier, like the Venator, it can defend itself. It's meant to be a transport, and many transports here on Earth has defences built in, unless it's a civillian transport. Like many transports here on Earth, transports works best in a convoy, if it's on land, and it can still defend itself, and in a fleet if it's in space, despite being able to defend itself. After all, you don't send a carrier on it's own, you have an entire fleet with it on missions. That's the part the Empire did right on Hoth, even if they had the wrong transport ships

The Acclamator is easily among my top 5 favorite ships, sitting comfortably at number 4. It gets beaten out by the Venator, Viscount Star Defender, and the executor Class Dreadnought, but beats the victory class by a landslide.

Excellent video. Great job pulling together tons of different star war sources. The only counter point I would make is the end about the "crew" needs growing so much later... I think a lot of times the strange stats on many of the ships just comes from who ever wrote them at the time - did not have a lot of experience with other materials, or any real world naval or military experience. This is pretty common - where some people translate differencing classes of equipment (battleships are not video cards) and often make invalid assumptions (for example - star wars tech - which is over 10,000 years old - does not have huge leaps in performance every 18 months). I think the later people just put down numbers they thought were cool. Kind of like how lucas just used parsec because it sounded neat. anyway, thanks for the video.

First, I love the Acclamators and Venators of the Clone Wars. 2nd, Quick edit to the crew requirements for the Acc 2. The details for it requiring 20,141 crew comes from the D20 Star Wars Saga Roleplaying game. The Game states that the Acc 1 also requires a crew of 20,141. This suggests that both ships have the same crew requirements no matter what. Thus, if we go by the Complete Cross-section that the Acc 1 requires 700 crew, then the Acc 2 should also have a crew of 700 + any extra gunners to man the additional weapon systems. The Acc 2 is also a modded version of the Acc 1, so the weapons that the Acc 2 have should include all those the Acc 1 has + the additional 12 turbo lasers and 2 heavy torpedo launchers. For the increased crew, maybe like 50 more, assuming 1 gunner per additional weapon times 3 to cover 3 shifts in the day + about 10 more for maintenance.
