Why Rebel Spec Ops LOVED the MC40a Light Cruiser

I just realised the mon cal shipyard logo is similar to Star trek’s federation symbol...

[@redshirt0479]

Starfleet, not UFP. Common point of confusion though it is like mixing up the US Navy with the US Government. I think it might be intentional given how, at least in Legends where the symbol came from, the Mon Calamari are described as "Soft spoken and gentle with a passion to explore and seek out new civilizations" and are very famous for their engineering/scientific prowess in both canon and legends. Sort of a fun nod like how Alderaan and Dagobah show up in itineraries and maps in Trek.

[@jonahstirbis3408]

[@paulsteinhauser434]

Those are the SpecForce Marines they were trained and composed of Clone Wars Veterans and Clone Troopers. Rex is considered the founder of the Marines.

Paul Steinhauser is Rex the old Rebel on the forest moon of Endor in legends as well then or is that exclusive to canon?

[@northwoodsrailproductions4538]

I like the diagram showing the layout of turbolasers/ion cannons/tractor beams, here’s hoping that this style of diagram continues to show up!

[@SamwiseOutdoors]

One of my favorite Rebel missions in X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter was one where you had to cover an MC40A from an ISD until it could jump into hyperspace. It's a tough mission, but that light cruiser was just tough as nails and holds up pretty well. I've loved the MC40A ever since.

[@aronsmith3417]

This is the perfect case of quality over quantity

[@alejandroelluxray5298]

This will be an amazing support and escort ship for my fleet, one of the best underrated cruisers out there

Oh yeah I’d like to see more canon sources of the Rebel Alliance SpecForce to along with their Legends history as well.

Can you do the complete history of luke skywalker, my birthday is coming up and I share the same birthday as mark hamill

[@alem1655]

Happy Birthday for when it happens. May the force be with you.

[@maxheard6459]

I have never heard of the MC40A before now but this video has convinced me that it is one of the most underrated ships in the galaxy. I can easily imagine a group of these light cruisers absolutely dominating in combat. All ships should be this well balanced. The Mon Cala really know what they’re doing.

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

"You can always count on the fish folk engineers." Well unless you're a Mandalorian meeting them on a small remote waterplanet

[@MonkeyJedi99]

He got a lot of work done for a measly 1,000 credits. And that probably included the hoist out of the water and the parking/refueling.

[@samsarex4318]

Here we go another review another ship to the mon calamari arsenal also what do you think of Darth revan becoming canon

[@MetaNerdzLore]

I think it good

[@lance4208]

[@ViviconMinecraft]

Here's hoping. Always love having another fish ship in my fleet ^_^

[@miguelcorreia6777]

Nice vid, as always

[@Arashmickey]

I don't know about Calamari Flan, but local exchange rate for 15,500,000 credits is about 31,000,000 bad fish, 7,750,000 good fish, 15,500,000 small fish, or 15,500,000 big fish.

[@NightIntruderPL]

In the free Star Wars mod for X4 Foundation game by Egosoft, called "Interworlds", MC-40A light cruiser is represented in two different configurations: standard (called "carrier" for some reason) and torpedo one. Beautiful external model and great fun to fly this spaceship. It can bear a lot of beating, indeed

[@macrebel8068]

Love your channel dude I don't have the knowledge to even think about tackling the Star Wars Universe you do so well breaking everything down to digest :)

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I did like those designs that I first saw in X Wing vs Tie Fighter. I also liked the MC80 from that game, too.

[@thestarwarsmusiccomposer3491]

The model of thrawns revenge for this ship looks much better Great vid btw 2:32 this looks better than the canon model

[@BoisegangGaming]

I kind of like the idea of using an MC40 with several U-wings to disable and board enemy vessels, perhaps with around 4 X-Wings or other snubfighters to cripple other systems and provide cover.

[@jaegergames7042]

Hey mate, keep up the good work! In regards to the little diagram for the weapons layout: in the future, you could run a different symbol for "batteries" of weapons or if they are singular weapon system.

[@rashiqspencer6925]

Another great upload from emperor Metanerdz

[@z4ch397]

How many of these ships, would you need to take down a executor class star dreadnought???

[@smaug-boi8587]

20 probably

[@drew2626]

I mean I think it depends on fighter complement, who is Commanding the vessel’s and would have to see the specs for the star dreadnought

[@wolfsigma]

1... plus an A-wing and a Death Star.

[@LoneWolf20213]

I like a ship able to take on multiple roles

[@Marcus51090]

Something I theorised......... akbar is mon-calla a fish like androgynous being (breath in and out of water) we have also seen them go down VERY deep into the ocean meaning there bone structure is very dence and strong. And there skin can handle rapid temperature and pressure fluctuations..... so when he was blown into space in the last jedi. he WOULD logically survive longer in space than humans. And potentially been able to be saved with little injury Just a thought...... bring him back lol

HOW do they feed and supply these huge crews for so long? they would literally have to fill huge chunks of the ship completely with food, water etc...

[@Honor_and_Steel]

She's a gun boat that can take a Hell of a beating in small scale engagements and punch well above her weight class. Honestly, if I was to set up a space navy, I'd want my ship captains for these drawn from submarines and amphib guys. These would make excellent boarding party platforms. That way you can disgorge troops well away from your own capital ships.

You'd think ships that are twice the length of a Nimitz would be able to carry more starfighters since it has a smaller crew and no need for recovery and launch systems.

[@blarginsnitchal]

almost like hard light shields from halo... during that over charge in empire at war.

[@igncom1]

So Mon Calamari/Quarren Star Cruisers. What are they? Because in some instances they are literally skyscrapers with engines bolted on. In others they are civilian ships/cruise ships/star trek style exploration science ships. And others they are purpose built warships. But they all look the same?! Do they build sky scrapers to look like spaceships, that also look like warships? It's so confusing.
