This is exactly what I want in a Star Wars video game guide. Overviews of what each section will cover, nifty guides of how to set everything up, demonstrations of how to play, and most importantly, the video is themed like a training program/briefing for new rebels. Expertly done Cap!

I was hoping to see a black sun campaign, but the background footage makes me think otherwise, either way, awesome video and can't wait to see the next campaign.

[@openfly4u]

Black Sun is a little bit more complicated, spreading corruption, racketeering, proper credit generation and just how to build what unit. But it fills my heart with joy to create a Providence/Venator fleet with random ramshackle cruisers to fight both empire and rebels

[@eccentricartist3996]

some more tips for expert rebel players, bring a big fleet to the battle of endor and only try it when you find with lossing the whole fleet, the pirate will kick the empire given enough time [ this mean they take coruscant] , it you take the capital of the hapes the ai will go crazy and start attacking near by planet which will cause the empire to attack getting hid of there mass fleet or a lest creating a buffer zone for you. MC 40 are very useful when taking out shields, focused on income if a planet can have a maufacturing base then make it unless it on the front lines. Garm Bel Iblis is consider a ground unit which mean if you put him in fleet lead he adds no tactical population meaning you get to free dreadnaught cruiser with out the cost and added tactical population. if you have other tip please put then under the comments. if you play one expert be ready for fleet of 200 and 300 with 20 or more capital ships

[@crazyeen1564]

Cant wait to see u make a guide like this for the Black Sun.

[@garkon8242]

Awesome! Deep in the Rebel Campaign on expert myself currently. I am sweeting bullets, its amazing. One thing to maybe put out in an other tutorial vod, without wanting to spoil something, saving right after completing the "Mon Cala save zone" mission requierments can avoid a lot of headach. In this version i have had very good results with "proper rebel tactics" of ground raiding forces and in space sending in strike wings of X-Wings, Y-Wings with some U-Wings to kill off Starbases before the proper invasion or hunt Hero ships or the odd lone ISD.

love the video captin. was there ever a part two? having trouble finding it. getting stuck in to the jump to hyperspace update for my first ever galactic conquest. im attempting on hard as i find normal in the single battles to easy, but got smacked down in my first few hours last night on GC, really want to learn my way to victory.

[@loop2743]

I ended up with a really good defense battle as the Rebels the other day against the Empire. I had a large defense fleet stationed to it cause I knew they'd try to attack it eventually. I also had an ion cannon as well. Until that point I had little contact with the Empire cause I was mainly focused on taking Black Sun territory, and attacking weak Empireal ground bases. Once I got outside Carida though they attacked me with what I'm guessing was their entire Northern fleet. I set up my defensive line at the first station. 1 liberator and a Dauntless. I didn't have many Capital Ships so I figured I'd rely on my small Corvette and frigates to take out sub systems and escort ships. I sent 2 long probe Ywings to the side of where I thought they'd be to spy on them. And also sent 4 Squadrons of Y wings to the opposite side to wait for them to move up. My plan was to take out the ISD support ships, fall back, then attack them with my main fleet. I had artillery ships in the back as well. 3 ISD Vador, and a Tector ISD. When they moved up far enough I sent the Y wings to take out their engines to by myself more time. However by that time they were already at the 1st defense point. I focused my fire on their support ships and carriers first. Afterwards I told my bombers to focus on Vader's ISD. I wanted him gone. Eventually I got to a point where I realized I could win if I played smart. So after I saw they were focused on Rebel 1 I sent him around the map multiple times all the while he was being chased by 3 SSD and 1 Victory. I took out all their engines with pretty much every fighters and bombers I had left over from defending the first station. After that I had them destroy all their sub systems till they all eventually were destroyed. IT WAS THE LONGEST 1 HOUR OF MY LIFE I SWEAR! I ended up losing my only 2 Capital ships for that fleet as well as most of the fighters. But I did kill Vader, 3 heroes, at least 6 SSD'S and their entire support fleet for the North. Most of the defense fleet was made up of fighters from the beginning of the playthrough so I think I made out pretty well considering I thought I was just going to lose the battle. It was hella fun. After the battle though I combined what i had left over with my main fleet and separated them into a new defense fleet. I also replaced the supporter station and shipyard with actual defense stations. I also station more defense units on the ground along with more defensive structures just in case. At the moment I'm trying to build up my fleet even more and also trying to unite my eastern and southern Fronts so I can finally have a easier time enforcing troops and fleets.

Depends on what the enemy has, we didn’t want to completely stop it and make carriers useless. We just wanted to reign it in

[@XMysticHerox]

​@@ICOMr.President I am totally fine with it. It´s a problem with the base game that I doubt mods could fix. The way to fix it would be a mechanic requiring some sort of investment to replace lost squadrons.

[@ironwolf4977]

Overall one of the best mods I've ever played so far with a good variety of tactics to use on the field, But I must say the unit cap in space is quite lacking compared to its previous version while yes the new ship rolls is quite refreshing they are undermined by a lack of ships I can deploy on the field.

[@shackacoddle9009]

Its so that you have to choose carefully, otherwise you can just have a versatile deathball fleet that can do anything
