Capsule: The YT-1900 is a later model from CEC, and is heavily based on the hugely successful YT-1300, with an off-center cockpit, cargo loading arms, and many other features familiar to those who have flown the YT-1300. Slightly bulkier, but with more powerful engines, the YT-1900 can carry larger cargoes, which are loaded through a forward mounted cargo hatch, leaving the lower ramps free for use by crew and passengers. However should the front hatch not be available, or useable, then the lower ramps can still be used as in other older designs. While opinions have been mainly positive about the YT-1900, the only major complaint has been about the turrets placement, since its field of fire is somewhat blocked by the large engine housings that run along the top of the vessel, but as with all turret placements the fire of fire always depends on good interaction between the pilot and gunner. As with previous YT series ships, the turret can be locked into a forwards firing position, and fired by the pilot if he is flying the ship solo. The YT-1900 has sold in good numbers and looks to be as big a success as the other YT freighters. [/b]

I like that a lot! A brilliant design as well!

Nice. Someone did a really good job on the image. Can I ask where you found it?

This is a very eye-catching ship. However...

If the cockpit is the same size as that on the Millennium Falcon, then this ship's hull is noticeably smaller than that of the YT-1300. As such, I don't see how it could have a cargo capacity of 120 metric tons and still be able to carry 8 passengers.

On top of that, this ship greatly outperforms the YT-1300 with a minimal increase in price. To compare:

In summary, this vessel shows a major increase in a whole swath of performance factors with a minimal increase in price. Something has to give...

Off-hand I'd view this ship as more of a blockade runner style of transport than the 1300 general workhorse. That being said, I'd say drop the cargo to 40-60 tons, passengers to 2 plus crew of 2 and shave off the shields in favor of keeping the maneuverability. You could keep the space speed the same as well, figuring that oversized engines account for the maneuverability and speed as well as the lack of cargo.

if the text is to be taken as the design account for the ship - then the pic is wrong and the cockpit is probably WAY too large.

or the pics wrong and that description is laughable if its to be given to that actual pic. Or if the description is just a description not based on the ship's pic then it could be assumed that the ships stats are right and its a bigger ship than a 1300.
