Post-patent copes in Star Wars Stormtrooper 01/18/18 (Thu) 05:19:01 No.8050

>Starships of the Galaxy mentions there are cloned Z-95s

>Star Wars Millennium Falcon Owners Manual mentions "unauthorized replicas" of YT-1300 and that CEC had other makers make replacement parts

Are there any other mentions of this in Star Wars material? The idea fascinates me.

The design of the YT-2000 was leaked during development, so CEC rushed it out and abandoned it after the initial production run. I'm surprised that some Outer Rim engineer hasn't worked out the kinks and released an updated version.

Slightly offtopic, wasn't it established that the outrigger cockpit on the Millennium Falcon wasn't the norm for YT-1300s?

The Legends Wook page gives a brief line about how it can be mounted on either side or in the middle. Other models seem to stick with one or the other, such as the 1930 and 2000 always having central cockpits, while the 2400 has a structure specifically made to hold the cockpit out to the side, which might be useful if you're hauling something dangerous.

yeah, there were versions with cockpit in the middle and on the left. its just that space port docking sucks apparently and getting better field of view on landing bay made central configuration unpopular, so there was a competition between right and left side configuration, which was won by rght side simply because it was first on the list in the catalogue

and it was so popular later everyone thought that there is only right side configuration.

i dont know if that counts but tocsan was made specially for licensing out to small shipyards.

I'd expect Ghtroc ships to have third party copies, if only for spare parts, given the company went bust but their designs remain popular.
