Has anyone noticed how, after Shack won the battle for Eriadu, he didn't actually.. take Eriadu for some reason? The planet didn't change colour back to the Rebellion's red.

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

I've had this issue before a couple times, it was always due to the faction building something and it being at 100% at the time of the battle so it finished after the battle causing there to be a building on planet keeping ownership from switching

@@Sp4rt4nSl4ya It really annoyed me that Shack didn't do that. He misses such simple things.

[@notwhatitwasbefore]

@@questionmaker5666 Its infuriating for me to watch but it does make the campaign more interesting as he is regularly misses/forgets somethng minor/simple that would make things so much easier or prevent something bad from happening that I just never experience in my playthroughs due to extreme EaW ocd lol. The campaign would likely be over by now if he didn't miss these sort of things and since I am enjoying his stumble to victory I consider it a good thing and keeps me engaged with the content wondering when that thing I spotted is going to rear its head and catch Shack out.

Hey SHACK! Just an idea, I think your numbers would do well on a video that puts all your intros together after your campaign is finished. I've always loved your effort into your battle reports before each episode. I have been so busy im sorry i haven't been able to watch much of this campain, but it would be realy cool to have a video compilation of all the battle reports for a campain to tell the whole story together in one video. Just an idea. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@RevanInHeaven]

45:45 Regarding the name for the new ship, the Home One did have some sister ships. Specifically the Independence and the Defiance. Find it a bit weird the ship is called the Independence class in the mod as the Independence wasn't a ship class, but rather the same class as the Home One which was the first of it's class, specifically MC80 Home One type Star Cruisers. So to answer your question to us regarding what it should be called. Either "the Independence" as it's ship class name would make it a new type similar to the Home One class, and as such the first ship would use the class name itself, or "the Defiance" if you want a sister ship to the Home One that doesn't use the same name as the ship class itself.

[@FunkThompson]

Basically every MC80 was a unique ship built around a similar design, which is kind of the case for most Mon Cal ships - no two exactly alike until well into NR era.

[@donwanna3906]

Too complicated, I'd go with "Home Fries."

Hey Captain! The strange Corsec ship you saw is actually a gunship used by the Republic in the clone wars. It appears in the background of Episode III over utipau. Think a flying AT-TE that doesn't carry troops.

[@bluetherobot]

where exactly, at what part do you see it over Utapau? Cause I can't seem to see anything capital ships, other than two Venators in the opening battle sequence.

[@garrettdriscoll9364]

You should call the independence "The Perseverance"

[@wolfbyte3171]

Was just gonna suggest that myself.

[@SolitarySpade_Davon]

This was legit my suggestion

[@ameerasim2534]

Shack, it is best that you also focus on building the mandator over at Kuat. That will immediately free up your Kuat Armada to use elsewhere

[@calvinmcfalls9801]

Oh… how I HATE that ship… somehow in my campaign as the empire (fresh one… going pretty good to… for all that hape-nd…) the Rebels managed to build one… I don’t know where, since I OWN kuat as the empire naturally, but I fought it… and yes, it was the mandator. I don’t think any MC-class ship looks as imperial as that monster… literally the biggest ship the Rebels can actually build…

[@chuyzzt1252]

Honestly he could build a independence with some artillery ships and that combination with the garrison from the station can hold out against most fleets

[@ameerasim2534]

@@chuyzzt1252 he already has many capital ships and many more just sitting on Kuat, building the mandator will free up his entire Kuat Armada which includes capital ships and the many many other support ships attached (including the carriers)

[@thesentinel1578]

The High-Altitude Entry Transport-221 (HAET-221), the air vessel the CSA used at the ground Battle of Korriban can be seen at the Battle of Utapau in Revenge of the Sith, when the Clone Paratroopers inform Cody that they can't find Obi-Wan. It meant to be quickly dropped from low orbit at high speeds. was mostly used for reconnaissance, mapping and searching (as seen in RotS). Fun fact: During the production of RotS, The HAET started out as a CIS Capital Ship set to appear in the Battle of Coruscant, before being switched to a Republic ship, switching back to the CIS, and then going back to the Republic, repainting and then scaling down. As for what the Rebellion and Imperial Atmospheric Vehicles should be, the Rebels already have one, the Heavy Troop Transport-26 ( the thing General Rieekan is trapped in). As for the Empire, not sure maybe, the Imperial Transport seen on Tython in The Mandalorian Season 2. EDIT: The T-shaped Ships the CSA had in the last space battle were Victory II-class frigates seen in 2005s Battlefront 2.

[@quantumdragon2043]

[@sonofjack6286]

Commander's Log Tanarith Week 258 [Begin Log] Well, these last few weeks have been... eye-opening. From what little Toba's said in his reports to me, the Third is doing well in me and Tanya'a absence. They've retaken Korriban, with a few losses, of course, but not as much as what some feared. With the Corporate troops from Etti IV wiped out, Shack ordered a failed assault on the world, though he called a retreat. Ackbar came in and took command of the fleet for a second attack and this time the orbit of Etti IV was taken. As for myself, I've brought Tanya home to Tanarith for the funerals of her father and the crown prince. I... I don't know how to say anything else without - Hey Saul, I'm gonna head down into the city to get wings and other stuff for dinner tonight. You want to come with? Sure, just let me finish up here. What are you doing anyway? Writing a report, my XO's been sending me weekly reports about the war with Corporate Sector and the Suns. Really? Like a personal log? I do the same thing, it's nice. I know, right? Anyways, let's go. [End Log]

[@SamuelJamesNary]

Rebel Diaries 45 - The reverence for the "Force" that so many of these guys have astounds me. Prior to running into the kid on Tatooine before the Battle of Yavin, I'd never seen anything that would control my destiny. Now, though, I'm not so sure... I mean, the kid making a Proton Torpedo make a ninety degree turn to hit a 2-meter exhaust port to destroy the Death Star and then some of the other bizarre things that have happened recently might make me question that. And while maybe admitting "the Force" exists isn't a bad thing, I'm still not sure it's always the safest thing... and this may be tough to explain. The shift to deal with the Corporate Sector remains, and Admiral Ackbar has pulled his fleet away, largely as his fleet is the only one of sufficient size and strength in both fighters, frigates, corvettes, and capital ships to handle some of the stations the Corporate Sector has. It's left the Mandalore Pocket alone, and the Black Sun has taken advantage landing troops on Telos... though the garrison there did manage to take down several units of Night Sisters and one of those murder toaster droids as I've heard them called... but given the situation as it is, complaining about the decision to attack the Corporate Sector now is crying over spilt drinks... and that's not good for a cantina's tab. Trust me. And to a degree, the Corporate Sector is small enough that if we focus, we may be able to secure that ground while the Black Sun wanders around other areas. It'd mean pumping out fighters and corvettes at Yavin might help secure that flank and digging in on other worlds would be a good idea, if only to by Ackbar and the Northern Fleet time to take down the Corporate Sector. It may have been a mistake to provoke them, but we're in it now... might as well win it. And that brought me and Chewie to Korriban... a world the Corporate Sector recently took. And that's another thing that brings things back to the Force... but not in a good way. The world is just creepy. Me and Chewie lead the way and we took out a bunch of Corporate Sector troops with ground troops raised from all around the region... but the world's box canyons and everything else just seemed eerie and dark. Like there were spirits watching us, and as we finally ground down the Corporate Sector troops, it looked like other Corporate Sector forces were shooting at a hill kilometers away from where our forces were... and there was NOTHING there that they were shooting at. I sent a message to the kid, see if he knows anything about this planet. After all... shouldn't Jedi know about Force Sensitive worlds? But I haven't heard anything back yet, and that doesn't ease my thoughts on Korriban being creepy. From there, Ackbar took his fleet north to Etti IV, another Corporate Sector world and one that when taken will reconnect our main construction bases at Mon Calamari with the Northern Fleet at Deltooine. And that's where another of these strange Force things set in. Chewie and I were left on Korriban and we had to watch in the holo at the garrison base. And the battle seemed to progress fairly well for Ackbar. He was destroying what the Corporate Sector sent at him and hadn't suffered any real losses... and then there was this sudden flash of light... it came out of nowhere and irradiated out from Etti IV itself. When the light faded away, Ackbar's fleet was only just entering the system and had to fight the battle again. Thankfully he won, again, but it was still weird and represents a danger, if you ask me. Especially if someone remembers the previous battle before time reset. But the real thing is who was doing it? Ackbar noticed and was frustrated but told me that the scanners didn't report anything technological coming from Etti IV or the Corporate Sector ships or stations, and the Corporate Sector has no Jedi or Sith or other Force users... which could mean that the battle could be playing on someone else's agenda. Ackbar didn't say much in reply to that but did give the call that Katarn's forces will be called up to take the planet as part of the campaign against the Corporate Sector. Hopefully it works and the Northern and Eastern Fleets can resume the real work on dealing with the Mandalore Pocket... Particularly while other fronts against the Black Sun are active. I've heard reports on the landings at Eriadu, dealing with that Imperial loving world. From the holos, it would appear that our forces destroyed the landing force that the Black Sun committed to the world, which is good. But it would appear that the Black Sun finished building some other structure on the world just as we landed and thus defeating the Black Sun there didn't restore Eriadu to rebel control. That strikes me as bad luck, as those forces will need to land on Eriadu again in order to take the planet... and makes me wonder if Lando was leading them. - Han Solo.

Captain's log: It was a smash and grab, they lore us to Cato just to kidnap Admiral talon, I got the word after I saw the last isd book it with the Landa shuttle docking on board, I had every fighter converge on that shuttle as fast as possible but it was too late. Empire warp away and the battle was over. True it was a victory cuz Cato was safe but the empire kidnap talon and he holds some valuable info. I have told command of the situation and they have order the remaining fleet to return to kuat for briefing. I just surprised to see the empire do something like that before, it just comes to show how desperate they are. Doing something we used to do in the old days but it's different now. Hopefully talon is okay, he was such a inspirational person for most of us During the invasion of kuat. Word has it that the empire might move him some where to torture him for info. Hopefully he doesn't give these imperial scums anything. By the time we got back to kuat, something we saw would have made us terrify if it wasn't on are side, a ballator class super ship. That thing is a monster, sadly it was still under construction, can't wait to see it in combat. Till then however, we must find talon and bring him back.(Captain Fierce, important link from command wishing to speak with you) Copy, I'll take it in my ready room. Computer, End Log (Log ended)

[@admiralcasperr]

31:25 The orbital boambardment puts 3 rounds around the centre of it, and thats your usable part of it. It should not be used as area shelling as the cover rate is somewhere around 10%, and skilled players can dodge it with speeders without leaving its radious. What I usually do is to either use the ping or, if avaliable, a map reveal from an abandoned sensor, and call it in on structures. Softens up Flak and Turbolaser turrets and kills any small turret.

[@arandomperson7713]

BTW, in YodenMod, you can indeed use space vessels in ground battles The difference is that, quite hilariously, you can use ships as large as god damn Super Star Destroyers in ground combat (at least in skirmish) and it’s as janky as it sounds.

I recommend the 'Ghorman Avenger'. Or Avenger' for short. The Ghorman massacre was the event that caused Mon Mothma to publicly condemn the empire and the emporor. It would make sense for the Mon Cal shipyards to name one of their first command ships for the event that first put Mon Mothma in the empires crosshairs and legitimized the rebellion to the galaxy.

[@jasonwrathorn9281]

Victory Star destroyers were able to do surface landings at least in the old lore. That would be a pretty intimidating sight to have hanging over your head at 'close range'. Not sure if they would have been able to sustain a hover-like effect given the placement of the engines... but then star wars has always been a bit unclear on things like that.

[@matthewmohri9990]

The sister Independent ship should be called "The Equalizer" Shack, when you get into The New Republic, E-Wings are like Gold. E-Wings in AOTR are quite a level up when it comes to dog fighting, fighting capital ships, etc, K-Wings of course are brutal against capital ships but E-Wings are the new all around Space Superiority Fighter.

[@matthewmohri9990]

@@LewisB3217 It has quite a few units ground/space. Now however just b/c they are new unit's it doesn't mean they can go toe to toe with ISD's in a slug match. What it means is that these ships were designed to improve on some of the ships from The Rebel Alliance. The MC80A Alliance, Dauntless, Home One class, Corvettes, Liberators, Quasars, etc. will always be valuable. Yet ships like The Mon Cal "Barracuda", NR Star Destroyer, Nebula Class Star Destroyer, MK2 Assault Frigate are helpful tactical ships to add to your fleets. No, they are not tanks like the Independence or Dauntless but are amazingly useful. The Nebula Class Star Destroyer has 2 proton tubes and great range with it's heavy turbo lasers. The Mon Cal Barracuda is a cruiser that hits way above it's class. A person who chooses to add some of these to your fleet will make it that much more surgical.

[@matthewmohri9990]

@@LewisB3217 Also when it comes to ground units, The T4B is a bad ass when backed up by proper Artillery and troops. The Hover units are great too, The Missile upgrade over unit is great and more for armored vehicles. The MPLS(I think that's what it's called)Artillery Unit is directed more towards infantry units.

[@ChristopherMocko]

Its good to see you investing in some new ground forces to push into CorSec. Those worlds are tough nuts to crack. Some artillery and air power will give you a great advantage if you can build some at Yavin, Kashyyk, and MonCala. The fleets you got are pretty strong in the core and north, so you can divert extra funds to Southern shipyards to make a fleet to deal with the Donut. against supercapitals you always have the option to throw a CPU melting fleet composed of nothing but x-wings at them. The Rebellion can win pretty much every fight with overwhelming swarms of them, if you want to be cheesy and slog through a supercapitals health pool with medium lasers, light torpedoes, and strong language...

From the transmissions intercepted from CorpSec, and from monitoring the activities of the Black Sun scum, it looks like Shack is trying Jo's damnedest to sort his Death Star sized FU out somewhat successfully. I will be forwarding a idea for the recommendation on building our first Mandator class Star Dreadnought at the Kuat Yards. Considering that this is the place where my ship was built, they should be all too happy to oblige. Anyway, it's time to get ready as I have a hunch war will be coming for us, and it's never a picnic where the Empire is concerned.

Issue was (I did take Corsec, not the issue) the *HAPES* decided that I was weak enough to just slap… so they invaded Carida… I was so shocked I lost the battle… Soon after, I’ve made Corsec my research powerhouse (as usual), and have secured the space of The Maw, Kessel, and the surrounding planets… but, the hapes are literally 2 jumps away from Courusant, and have 8 planets… I really have no idea what to do, and I’m rushing Executor (battle dragons aren’t fighters… and I can use exec with Arc Hammer… I think… at the least, I’ll send the Arc hammer if Piett is an idiot and fails me), Artillery, and mass amounts of… well, the best vehicles I can make with how my economy is just crippled… A good thing is the Rebels and Black sun are too busy killing each other over the Mandalore and Hoth/Bespin clusters to really care about me… I abandoned those campaigns to just pray they would fight each other, and it worked… funny thing is I have Raxus (defense of course) and the rebels have put all of their tech around me… I could easily attack it and help the black sun, but with how my war over the hapens is going, that’s not a good idea… Reminds me a little of this situation you have shack… you have a big war with the Black Sun (mainly) and Corsec… my biggest thing to help you with right now is to make SURE that the Black Sun DO NOT HOLD Mandalore… and to build the big one…

recommend using spies to check out the maw and trandosia to make sure there isn't a huge army being spammed on your back lines that can jump out as your move fleets.

[@scorpion7532]

i just wish i could play this GC with my Friends. 1 in each faction that woul be great !

[@GenericMedic]

Playable Corporate Sector would be fantastic. I'd love to have access to those wacky Battlecruisers. That, and you'd basically be turtle-ing until you could build up a fleet and ground force. Only really two ways into your territory. I think it'd be neat.

[@generalstarcat9961]

Corey had done the orbital better, one powerful blast. Better than dozens of low power shots

[@megaszero514]

Well done capt!

[@lonurad1259]

remember against droids that ion weapons do more damage. U wings can wipe out droid companies in 1 burst

[@Isometrix116]

The new Independence should be called the Home 2 :) Alternatively, Shippy McShip Face

[@user-hj9ub1cq6t]

For a Sister Ship to Home 1, all I could think of was "The Homeless"

[@anthonygreen2600]

Oh my God that is soo gud that its bad

[@TheCaptainBasil]

You need more point defense. Essentially, you are trying to fight Corsec with the same tactics the Empire is trying to fight you. All capital ships and little point defense and not enough fighter support. You are the Rebel alliance. Add battle carriers and more fighters to your fleet.

[@linkolinalamar5912]

I couldnt have been the only one yelling that his artillery was backwards in the battle over Etti IV.

[@alexi4829]

on the subject of Quazars; I feel like with the way this game handles ship garrisons there just isn't a way to balance them that's satisfying, because they're effectively infinite fighters so even though the number they deploy per battle is limited that's free damage and free kills with almost no risk

[@drakenwing2030]

Shack your videos got me into the mods for this game a year ago and I have been playing them since! FOR THE LOVE OF THE FORCE HANDLE THE CORRUPTIONS!!! You have 6-7 planets with them! If you arent careful the Black Sun will skip fleets over those planets and hit you in unprotected areas!! You have taken CorSec out of the fight for the moment just station a ground force over ETTI IV to hold the orbit for a little Lay the frame for the Mandator over Kuat to free up that fleet Hit and Run a few times against the Black Sun mega fleet near Telos to to dwindle numbers then crush it OR Use the Home One fleet to smash Mandalore as they only had just the stations defending it and take their Capital Shipyards in the north. Turn your unused Rebel camps into Credit Producers. You have like 35 planets just sitting there doing nothing for you! If you do read this can you ask the mods to fix the overbalance on Hapans/CorSec units in the "From The Ground Up" mode?! I love that play mode but rarely do I ever end up fighting with the Rebels or Black Sun as the Hapens' spaces forces and ground forces are just 10x better and they wipe the map clean! Same with CorSec! Or see if they can give a patch that makes them neutral or something! Id like to fight the Rebels or Black Sun on my playthroughs not JUST the Hapans and CorSec!

[@deanmachine7398]

You should name the new Independence The War Machine Also Shack, the Black Sun were trying to build a S.A.M System, tell me you were in the military without telling me lol

[@Nason599]

Two things: 1: Name is The Cala 2: I can make a submod for the CSA and make them playable if you would like Shack, I'd love to see that playthrough!

[@thepajmaj7983]

Shack, Home One had 3 sister ships; Defiance, Independence and Nautilian. The last one was destroyed at Endor by the Death Star. In total 7 Independance class ships are known, but there were probably more.

[@adamd5849]

27:39 is a great shot for a thumbnail. You could easily work it into propaganda material, talking about how the Alliance is fighting not just the Empire and their corrupt government, but pirates and those targeting the innocents of the galaxy

[@valeriansamborski5844]

Concerning the "Independence" and what you should name it: I believe that it is best to follow the real-world example here and name it after someone who was important and/or contributed much to the, in our case, revolutions' cause, in order to honour their contribution and keep their memory, and the memory of their deeds alive. I think we should name the new Independence Class Star cruiser the "Jan Dodonna". Dodonna had a long and accomplished career. But most importantly he cooked up the plan on how to destroy the empire's planet killer.

[@admiralcasperr]

45:47 The Sovereignty. You could pair it with a Justice so that she draws fire and the Justice takes the 2nd and subsequent volleys.

[@IDontHaveAMicrowave]

Hey i love the narration you do at the start of every episode, i have a small correction for you though, the Invincible class heavy cruiser corsec deployed over korriban are THOUSANDS of years old and predate the clone wars, being first deployed in 3017BBY, just like the dreadnaught heavy cruisers

[@lordgong4980]

You could always do a CSA run in Thrawn's Revenge

[@silver76x]

some reorganization is in order. some resetting up of bases so that you have level 1,2,3 infantry and vehicles production near each other. some reorganization of ship building so your star-fighters, frigates and capital ships are on different planets near each other. like around Mon Cala as a example.

[@tracytron7162]

41:20 That’s a Republic troop transport that you could just barely see in the background on Utapau in Revenge Of The Sith

[@arandomperson7713]

Name the Home One’s sister ship « Habitus Secundus » :D

[@Oddball5757]

Build kotas army up with his special troops also name the second home one the RWI captain Jack

[@scarecrow852]

captain , if you build a fighter shipyard on the same world with capital shipyard then you can have better fighter loadouts for capital ships (at least for the empire this works)

[@Wolfgod1974]

Name the big new heavy the Adar Tallon, in memory of the fallen.

[@jonahchristopher6734]

Hope to see you super capital ship soon but great video capitan

[@RinIsArty]

Shack that corsec ship was their version of a LAAT basically, a chunk bigger but it's an old clone wars era republic gunship.

[@thewastelander8046]

The orbital bombardment should be proportional to the number of ships in orbit and/or the caliber of ships

[@user-uq2vu4li7h]

A tip if your going to attack the hapes you need to be quick with your attacks as they have save enough money every week to where they can keep producing frigates and corvettes with so many ion weapons that the moncala shields won’t matter. Use home one and dauntless to win o and also a butt ton of fighters
