I keep seeing cargo capacities measured in tons in Star Wars, but wouldn’t volume make more sense when you’re flying through space? Even if you have to take the ability to haul cargo in and out of gravity wells (planets) into account, we see massive ships do that no problem with their magical repulsor lift tech. Massive cargo tonnage capacities seem less useful if you don’t have the volume.
@HonestHappyHater5 жыл бұрын
Not mentioning that "a ton" would mean diffrent things on diffrent planets, depending on the gravity. Measuring the space the cargo it would take instead of it's weight would be much better imo. Well, I guess just means that it's "a ton" according to ship's artificial gravity

TL:DR A better hyperdrive and enough guns to deter pirates and it would make a good general hauler for not too much more cost. While there's a lot of comments about modifying it into a *combat ship…* and it would make a great *Q ship* if upgraded with a lot of pop up turrets and hidden launchers. I think it would work best as a base design for a *protected freighter* for a medium sized company, maybe as a small fleet of ships (who can't afford massive haulers with escorts for major markets), it's always better to have combat ships built as such from the ground up (except for hotted up YT-1300's). Upgrade it with some weapons - whatever is legally allowed. Mostly laser cannons (a lot of pirates use snubfighters to disable their prey) and a couple of turbolasers. Although ions are the best just for stopping ships from getting close and can be fired when you're not absolutely sure it's a bad guy, but they're just behaving suspiciously. But the idea is deterrent, not being impounded as a illegal battleship, and still being able to haul a load. A rear mounted launcher or two just to suprise determined attackers is a good idea as well, but torpedoes are expensive and saved as a last resort The other upgrade is the hyperdrive, perhaps to a 1.5 to cut transit time and thus maximise profits. Going for something faster could risk reliability and also get very expensive, not worth it considering the reduced transit time pay off. Atmospheric speed isn't needed, it's not going to outrun a specialised raider no matter how modified (assuming financial restraint). The standard upgrades to sensors and communications so it has good situational awareness and that shouldn't be too expensive. Considering the investment of just the basic ship itself, these additional expenses make financial sense and greatly increase its usability. The biggest cost is the *better hyperdrive,* but that will pay for itself in a shorter trips. Sublight speed is not really a issue as flight time to and from orbit is a small part of the total journey. Weapons are the next biggest expense, and don't make any money, but are a one off insurance cost (excluding ammo), but say 4 quad laser cannon turrets (or 2 nine laser cannon turrets to save crew requirements…much quicker shoot downs), a pair of turrets with double turbolasers mixed in with a pair of ion cannons on the same mount, and two launchers mounted to the rear with say a dozen proton or ion torpedoes (to stop a bigger ship) shouldn't be a big jump on the base cost of the ship or increase crew requirements that much (only needed in combat, so can double up as general crew). Just spread the turrets around so they have good coverage, and maybe not go for such fancy mounts if off the shelf turrets can be bought and fitted out cheaply (a couple of extra crew positions for the extra turrets). Sensors (and communications) are independent of the ships size so just spend whatever is necessary on a bang for buck scale to allow it to see and hear trouble before it gets close (communications also helps with trade information). I assume the standard shields are good enough, if not they can be upgraded, but only if it would make a big difference. Anything else is a waste unless it's cargo related. No fighters carried as they … … … _fuck I ramble on_ I'll do a tl:dr at the top, which you've already read before you got here, so really you can go now. Although I would also get pop out spikes on the carry handle at the top in case a giant space alien tries to grab the freighter, you never know.

Interesting use of Drewbacks as a unit of comparison.........of course you also need compare the volume of a ship as a measure of amount of cargo that can be uplifted. For a comparison on earth ships, a ship (oil product tanker) that can lift 19,000 mts of cargo would have a length of about 125m, beam of 25m and height of around 12m. For an earth ship (crude oil tanker) that can carry 80,000mts of cargo the length would be about 225m, 35m beam and height of 16m.
