[@abelhuszar9312]

There is no rescue misison for Ackbar. The devs pointed this out many times. If he dies he remains dead.

[@DimoB8]

Maybe Ackbar could still be alive but with another flagship. In legends he had command of an MC80b star cruiser (which you can build in this game) named Mon Ramonda after Home One. It can go like this: "Captain Aldens GR-75 transport was tasked in clearing the debris of Home One after the disastrous battle ,the recovery crew navigated the flagships vented hallways making their way into the relatively intact secondary command bridge with help of the teams mechanic they managed to recover the ships black box . Bringing it back to the ship they discovered that a short amount of time had passed between the ship getting disabled and the total reactor meltdown. Coordinatates were found of escape pod 48, the pod was thought as destroyed as no emergency transmissions were sent out. They hard burned to the location of the escape pod. Wasting no time a rescue team was sent inside opening the hatch discovering the Admiral still alive although in a comatose state! Ackbar, the man they had mourned for three days straight had survived the destruction of his ship. According to a consious bridge crew officer seeing that there was nothing else to do to save his ship and protect the ship, the injured admiral grabbed whoever was still alive and shoved them in the last ,but damaged, escape pod, unable to transmit any sighnal he waited inspiring the survivors even giving his rations to keep them alive. He appeared to have a high possibility of full recovery, but until then he gave full command of the fleet to recently promoted rear admiral Shack. Waiting for the time to get his hands on his new flagship. ______________________ I might be a little bit too clingy but it's would be really unfortunate for Ackbar to die .

They have a lot of fighters and a lot of powerful guns, they're amazing ships that he really should use a lot more often. The only major issue is its durability, it's a glass cannon, but such a powerful one that I've had it destroy an attacking unit before I could do much damage several times.

Captain Shack may have made such a touching public speech and may have opened the video with "so sad" but we all heard how little he cared while it was happening and the chuckle in his voice as he said it this time. Congrats on the battlefield promotion; you monster.

[@mrthetheooo]

legend has it that just before the final explosion of Home One, one of the crew members, reportedly asked Admiral Ackbar "Sir, was it a trap?" "No, it's not a trap... but one day, our brothers in arms will fall into a trap, during one of their most important battles, and that day, one of them will be able to say... It's a trap!!!!!" and so, even as he died long before the Battle of Endor, the Admiral's famous replica was still remembered.

I think you still need to upgrade your tech level if you want to become the new republic after you capture Coruscant. At this point you are so close to capturing Coruscant forget about Rogue Squadron, combine your ground forces at Aeten II and corellia and just siege them with artillery, AA turrets and the snow speeders. Guess you are now Rear Admiral of the Rebellion.

[@abelhuszar9312]

Also upgraded light tanks from the medium factory have AA missiles.

[@Canadian_Goose007]

Shack the Jedi that you said you are getting on Ilum is actually just the academy. You can build Jedi Knights as minor heroes when you get the academy built. It's like how the Empire can build Sith on Korriban, there can be a unlimited number of them and a single Jedi acts as a individual unit. Might I also suggest taking Sullest so the Empire cannot backdoor you and possibly take Hoth with their capital ship production facilities there ? For all you know the Empire could be building a crap ton of ISD's there and a huge support fleet like the Black Sun once had over Intersection 4.

[@athan5647]

Shack, I have to point out how effective the liberator is. It utilizes dual turbo laser cannons and has a good fighter compliment. Dual turbo lasers are twice the punch in half the package so I suggest you consider using the one you already own more often as well as building a couple. In numbers they can take on pretty hefty fleets with the right support

[@justindortch4982]

Probable things to consider if you hopefully see this comment Capt. Shack or is it Admiral Shack now...: -Take a look through the missions tab to find and liberate our captured heroes I.E: Han and Chewie, Rouge Squadron, Maybe even Admiral Ackbar if possible. -Move Princess Leia or another Production boosting hero to Corellia to up that production speed on those types of ships. Double down at Corellia so we don't lose it. *Corellian Battlecruisers are muy bueno* -Invest in more Mon Cal commandos for the Siege of Corusant since they will block the enemy fighter cover as well as the incoming fire from the TLTs. -Beware that HVC in the space battle over Corusant, since it seems that the A.I have a faster cooldown on the firing of the cannon. Shore up our credits to replenish what we will lose in that battle. -If possible mobilize the Rebel highway Rapid response Fleet to the south if they still exist to cover the patrol lanes of the Rebellion to help keep the black sun out from scurrying for territory. The lose of Home one and Rebel one were hard blows to handle. Be safe not to do that with the Liberation and we can bounce back harder than ever.

Shack use mon cal commanders and shield generators to shield your units. Build many speeders and infantry to strike the turbo laser towers in your shield. Artillery and heavy tanks to take the beating

[@sgtsmith501]

Just wait till the black sun AI starts spamming the rocket artillery vehicles which ignores shields...

[@Nero-pi4jw]

Black Sun is almost dead and on hard AI isn't spamming those.

[@kagezetsu]

He should wait till Jedi Academy finishes building and recruit some Jedi. Then they can just start Force Crushing Turbolasers to stop them from firing. The only issue are the TIEs.

[@banepo4]

It's pretty simple, you don't even need jedi. In fact, they will probably get rekt by Empire's land forces. First, he needs to gain air superiority by using a couple of officers and the Rogue squadron. Second, he will have to take down the generators (there are 3 shield generators located at one site on Coruscant, if I remember correctly) using bombardment, bombing runs, and his X-Wings. At the same time, he should shell the incoming enemy forces with artillery, using a sensor node to detect them in advance. When the Imperials reach his landing zone, they should be met with heavy tank fire. Of course, we have to consider the possibility of the Empire having an infinite supply of AT-ATs from their base. In this occassion, he will have to bring some snow speeders to take out the walkers. A useful to remember is that arty can punch through shields due to using proton torpedoes as ammunition, so it is theoretically possible to remove the shield generator by setting the arty up somewhere around the shield bubble. Another way to do this could be sending a saboteur team on a suicide mission. It would also allow Shack to find out what's in the Imperial garrison, so he can prepare accordingly. Once that is done, he only needs to take out the main base - then the planet is his. The mission would be much more difficult if the shield generators were hidden inside the shield's bubble tbh.

[@Nero-pi4jw]

@@banepo4 If he would have rebel officers which he doesn't and rouge squadron he could take coursant with just them.

[@jasongrana2900]

If only the movie gave ackbar half the respect shack did in that intro :(

[@gugabalog]

For Coruscant: Land with highest tier 'take cover' capable infantryx2 and send them to each of the turrets around the landing zone and build paired aa turrets. Use mon cal company and build shield gen with coverage on the turrets at the top of the steps. Rely on torpedo launcher artillery to hold the landing zone unless you plan on meatgrinding your way through enough troops to withstand the strikes with the dropship cover fire. Breaking through the base is an option but I honestly recommend pushing deep and swinging up to the generator and then letting the fleet eradicate the aristocracy on the surface. (As in bombard their base) If possible, general officers can provide dog fighting support to deal with the waves of ties until AA turrets are up. AT-ATs are a deathknell generally in such an engagement, but such is as the lore goes. That fight is going to be brutal really no matter how you do it.

[@RoyalFusilier]

26:00 Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is the only strategy game I've seen try to reconcile the visual range - sight range 'thing' about strategy game units. I really liked how, as enemies approached detection range, you got a radio report about 'something moving out there' or 'spotted something on the horizon', and you got a vague plot on the map, but it only updated to a proper report when they got close enough to get a positive ID on enemy forces. That makes sense. We can assume in strategy games the 'sight range' is the 'positive ID' range, hence for fighters it's literally what their pilots can see out the cockpits, etc.

[@operatorjuno5348]

Sir, You'll need to prepare for the long haul because intelligence on Courscant is not looking pretty. You'll need to consolidate your heavy guns and Capital Ships here into the tip of the spear. Anti Fighter support and if possible, replace the Quasars to bring yourself back up to full strength. Get as many fighters and bombers as you can because the space battle alone with that Hyper Velocity cannon is going to tear everything you have apart. That's just the battle in the skies, the ground battle is a whole different story. With that much in the way of ground defense, I'd recommend digging in with Anti-fighter turrets and slowly work your way into the Capital. Recall all of Twilight Company and start recruiting as many Jedi as you possibly can. Bring in some heavy artillery and if you can a Mon Cal Shield. It's going to be a difficult seige and casualties, well I don't even know where to start with the numbers. We're counting on you Admiral Shack, we'll follow you to the New Republic.

love the content and the playthrough, suggestions for next part: 1. replenish all support fleets for the Kuat group and former Home One fleet (add in A-wings, B-wings, N-1's, corvettes, nebulons, mc40s/60s) 2. Until you have a contingent of Jedi ready to go for the attack on Palpatine/coruscant, I say to do a campaign on the south of the galaxy (planets around the intersections, that one planet near Bespin that keeps corrupting the route, and even Sullust to remove Black Sun presence, deprive Black Sun of anything that is generating them income, and to be able to move your defenses and space stations closer to the Rebel/Empire border around Corellia. In the event the Empire sends a contingent of Star Destroyers you would be better prepared and not have to worry about the Black Sun in the south anymore. And the income that would have gone to the Black Sun to produce those heavy waves of fighters would go to you for your war effort. Find any planets where you can still build credit boosting structures and build them so that you can build the weekly income, send the sympathizers out to deprive empire and black suns of their income. Aside from that, best of luck shack in the coming battles!

*The time had come, Darren Shel had been inside of the caves of Ilum on his first day, two months had passed since his arrival and he still held the crystal in his hand that he had found. His cold weather boots crunched in the snow as he approached the old, almost ruined, temple on Ilum. He took a breath of cold air and then reached for his satchel removing many different items. From it, Darren took out several pieces of metal and many different inner pieces of what was to be built. This task was personal, given to him by Luke Skywalker before his leaving from Ilum in the days that had come. Master Skywalker had told him that he was ready and it was indeed time. Darren sat on the ground and took deep breaths as he reached out with the force, he felt the life here on Ilum once more and the conflict on all worlds and fronts. The war that raged and the peace that had to be brought. His eyes remained shut as the power cell and aligned with the crystal he had set down and the many components began to swirl around him clicking into place. The focusing lens aligning with the crystal, the emitter matrix connecting to the hilt and the circular blade emitter coming together with the pommel cap to click and snap into place with the rest of what he was constructing. A few moments passed as the cave fell silent, Darren opened his eyes and reached out to hold the hilt, his lightsaber was ready. The now Jedi Padawan stood and took several deep breaths once more before igniting the blade of his most personal and valuable belonging as a Jedi, the tool to keep the peace that this galaxy so desperately needed. The blue hue of the blade filled the halls as he looked on in awe at what he had made for himself. This was only the beginning. He walked from the caves back to the tent where the construction crews had begun the creation of a new Jedi Temple on Ilum. He had found his fate in the galaxy, he was to become a protector of it.* "So it begins..." Darren mumbled to himself. *A thought came into mind, the war had still been going on and there were soldiers needed on the fronts, spies as well. He could do both...he just needed a direction to go. For now, he would wait and with the will of the Force, he would find what he would need to do.* (Short but sweet, Darren Shel is now a Jedi Padawan of the New Jedi Order under Luke Skywalker.)

Shack, I think that if you're going to take Coruscant, you're gonna need both of the Mon Cal shield generators.

That way you can shoot the turbo lasers from within the shield without getting shot at. Oh, and also artillery. LOTS of artillery!

Dear Captain Shak, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the loss of Admiral Ackbar as I understand you where close. With that stated, I cannot stress enough how impractical it is to cap the number of carriers we can deploy at any given time. I don't think I need to remind you that even with our victories, we lack the strong economic and logistical base that the Empire, and even the Black Suns possess. That is why we must use what ever means we can to insure the odds are stacked in our favor. No matter how 'dirty' it may seem. I personally can attest how... Enthusiastic, we here in the Deep Core Raiding Task Force would be to have such a luxury (despite my assurances in my ships modifications) to better disrupt Imperial supply lines. I hope you'll at least consider my, and many others within the fleet, plight. Sincerely, Captain Cutter of the Carrier/Corvette FarStar.

Coruscant seige: Use all available armor units to take out turbo lasers and reinforcement point on the east side of the map. Then take all units to the North West side and take out the power. Then head south and destroy all enemy units including the Emperor. For the Rebel alliance. And may the force be with you Admiral Shack.

Send Kyle Katarn to capture Cardia, it's a free planet.

[@bryanfisher1788]

Shack to take corusant you are going to need to use the hit and run tactic spec ops or space battle. I say spec ops for the hyper velocity canon then space battle after that all out ground battle and keep in mind that you need to use the hit and run tactics

[@yeaiamtrill]

I love the premiere feature btw

[@stingywingy1607]

Use transports to move troops and use jedi to disable the towers on coresaunt to reach the hypervelocity gun. Also rescure rouge squadron before the invasion.

[@michaeldavies984]

Dont take The capital. You need to shorten your lines. Take your forces and push out the Black Sun from the north and south. Let the Empire squeeze them from their side as well. Youre incredibly vulnerable on all sides. Pull your fleets apart and only have in them what you will use in a battle with small numbers of reinforcements. Use the rest to blockade planets so enemy forces cannot penetrate into already captured worlds. Never spend blood on territory already taken. Then have blocking forces in position, build a big fleet and take the core worlds all at once.

[@BaBster248]

Nah actually Ithor was Black Sun territory last video but towards the end the Empire surprisingly took to the offensive and captured the planet. Take that planet next to Ord Mantell if you didn’t, might as well own it and get some extra troops and credits and make it so they can hit Ord Mantell when they see fit

We need fan art of captain shack on the Liberation dealing with a cat on the bridge.

[@pilchard8741]

Shack you have an additional carrier in ackbars old fleet with what should have capital ship weapons, it has two prongs sticking out the front and its white it may give you b-wings, or at least it did in the original mod.

[@saltyfuel6324]

I wish the Corillion battlecruiser had a rare dialog that said for the emperor in a Warhammer voice

[@stingywingy1607]

Use a support fleet only of you want to take coresaunt space first. Quasars, gunships, dreadnaughts, and frigates only.

[@Lord_Foxy13]

Congratulations on your promotion Admiral Shack I wish it was under better circumstances

[@dark0zim]

Shack talking to his cat, best part

[@somberdoc]

23:58 Shack Jim the Janitor was a saint and a hero dont know what you're talking about

[@rundc6979]

Shack, the only planet that damages infantry over time is Shola. Aeten II, Mustafar, Sullust are the only fiery planets that don't give you damage. Shola is the only planet that damages troopers over time.

[@AREB1DER]

for coruscant try fighter raids in space and on the ground lots and lots of snow speeders go around the edge of the map ad take out the generator

[@spartanskybird1905]

That intro was so sad. I wish you could get home one back and rouge squadron

[@Its_Generic]

Is the Lambda shuttle you captured a stealth-ground transport? If so then you could probably manage a raid.

[@Greninjedi]

Shack improved T1B's and AAC hovertank are Anti air you need to build some for the siege of Coruscant you just need a medium Factory to build them there is one in Yavin 4 and muunalist and kamino.

[@soldier_6641]

I am 100% sure you upgraded your quasars in the last season. It only changes from x-wings and y-wings to b-wings and a-wings.

[@jdelta1014]

I would land in the north of the map and then go for the power generator that is located in the north there. And you need to build some mines to actually generate some income.

[@stalwart56k]

WAY TO KICK BUTT AND TAKE NAMES SHACK! Great video. Go get Coruscant! For the ground I say bring in the main army (mon cals shield craft, special forces, torpedo artillery) with Luke and some extra air speeders to replace the Rogues and Officer air power. Also, I'm pretty sure Rebel high command wouldn't promote you for killing Ackbar! Bel Iblis or Jan Dodana may be the only remaining heroes lore would allow to have command of the fleet.

[@tranquilclaws8470]

The Rebellion requests that the legal limitations placed on Quasar class carriers be increased to 7!

[@joshclifford6021]

Shack, gather your fleet up in the north and build jedi at Ilum. Meanwhile, stop going south and bring the liberation fleet up to the core world's. So, along with the Redemption fleet, Liberation fleet and then with the mandator fleet, you can easily storm the space of Coruscant. As for the ground, that's the real problem. Build some Artillery at Kashyyyk as well as heavy tanks and get some Mon cala troops for the shields. Gather any ground forces you can and then begin the battle. Spilt the troops in two when you land them (pause to land all the troops). Group 1 will go west and kill the emperor while group 2 will push up to the Headquartered. Once group 1 are done, push them up to the generator and take it out. Remember you need an artillery cannon for each group. There and now you can capture Coruscant. Hopefully (Edit) Rescue rogue squadron Sewell before anything else

[@R3LOADlikesgames]

I love how u had to get up to stop your cat.. xD that was funny You are able to upgrade the quazars at sullist.

[@SARGEOMARGO]
