Serving on the Executor makes your chances of running into Mr. Choky-Choky Vader DANGEROUSLY HIGH. I don't care how much guns we have, I AM NOT GETTING NEAR THAT GUY.

[@Riceball01]

Given the size of the Executor class, unless you're duty station is on the bridge, you probably would have little chance of ever running into Vader. Chances are that he doesn't spend much time wandering the expanses of the ship and sticks mainly to his quarters and the bridge. If you're assigned to the bowels of the ship like in engineering or the enlisted mess deck(s) you should be pretty safe from ever seeing Vader. Of course, the problem with serving on Vader's flagship as even the lowliest enlisted man is that your officers are probably going to almost all be overachievers and will ride you much harder than an officer on nearly any other ship in the fleet all in the hopes of catching Vader's eye and getting promoted quicker.

One of my favorites is the Carrack-class light cruiser. Heavily armed for its size, while also fast and maneuverable. It also had reinforced bulkheads and compartmentalization which made survivability very likely in the case of the ship's destruction, which in turn, made it very popular with its crew.

[@griever3679]

I could see that. Personally I would want to serve on the Carracks bigger brother, the Dreadnought Class Heavy cruiser. Slower and a bit more outdated, but it's got more armor and firepower, able to slug it out with bigger capital ships, but also has decent anti starfighter abilities. If it was say, a 12 Dreadnought wolfpack going against a pair or 3 ISD 2s, I'd put my money on the Dreadnoughts.😁 Especially since the dreadnoughts are well known for they're ion cannon capabilities.

good luck with that, you have to be exceptional to be called competent by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Even his own command staff was only 'adequate' at best in his determination.

[@speed150mph]

Rembanspellsong Thrawn however was not like Vader, or many other commanders in the empire. Thrawn did not punish for mistakes. He believed that as long as someone under him were trying their best, and were actively trying to learn from their mistakes, that that was good enough for service. Look at how he nurtured Eli Vanto’s tactical abilities (which, with him being a supply officer at the time, was nonexistent). Or look back at how he treated his crew on the Chimera when Vader was aboard making comments about how different they were. And because of that Thrawn brought out the best in those he served with

[@Rembanspellsong]

@@speed150mphnot disputing that fact. just that to be 'competent' in his eyes, you had to do more then just the basics of your job. you had to excel. did you make a mistake and blame it on someone else? you are a failure to him. did you find a problem and do nothing? you need more training. did you find a problem and just report it like most imperial officers seem to do? good for you, you are doing the bare minimum. did you find a problem and try to fix it? excellent, you get promoted. he drove his officers to excel, and if you were not able to excel you were not 'competent'. you were merely adequate.

I have to disagree with you--unless you're in an Endor or Jakku-style 'Final Battle', a carrier is ALWAYS a priority target, empty or no, and there's no way I'd want to be on board one unless it's one of the combo Carrier/Dreadnought hybrid types. On the other hand, yep, Executor-class all the way, babeeeeee!! (Just retrofit a duplicate bridge somewhere down in its guts and fight battles from there).

Everyone always forgets the venerable workhorse the Carrack-class Light Cruiser. I very tough and durable frigate level ship, well armed but an older model so often kept as a patrol/defense ship or large dignitary transport. Plus designed with such good compartmentalization you could survive even after multiple hull breeches. Survivors had been rescued from utterly dismembered hulks.

[@Noble713]

Yeah, carriers serve in any longer engagement to refit, refuel, rearm, and repair their fighters. For SW terms, this could be something as simple as reloading proton torpedoes after your Y-Wings shot them all at a capital ship. They absolutely remain high-value/high-payoff targets, ESPECIALLY if their fighters are busy elsewhere. The Quasar Fire is the only problem I had with this list. The rest are pretty solid choices.

[@winters4147]

@@Noble713 Also I heard the Quasar gives you a chance of literally dying ever time it enters hyperspace, they had a design flaw that resulted in the shields glitching in hyperspace or something along the lines of that.

[@shadowcarthage]

@@winters4147 no it's when you exit hyperspace and it's due to the way it is made. effectively micro-fractures appear over time when exiting hyperspace and eventually without proper maintenance the ship can come out of hyperspace and enough of the microfractures have built up and the hull just fails catastrophically.

[@spartanspyke]

Yeah even if a carrier's entire fighter compliment is wiped out it can still serve as a repair and refit station for other fighters, not to mention carriers by their nature usually have a fairly robust anti fighter armament making them a useful part of a defensive screen. Personally I tend to make carriers my priority target in any game I play just due to those things.

[@andrewk2886]

Wasn't that because the Raddus' shields were all focused on the back, where the Supremacy's cannons were hitting? That's kinda why 3 Ties managed to destroy the bridge and a hangar in one or two runs. I'm sure if shields were distributed evenly, it wouldn't be as able to shrug off fire.

[@Aberrant17]

I disagree with putting the Quasar Fire on this list. It canonically had structural weaknesses, which would make it less survivable and more maintenance-intensive. It's also a high-value target, as it offers a protection and refueling for starfighters and military force projection in general over a wide area, especially for the Empire and other factions whose strike craft tend to lack FTL travel. Dedicated carriers also tend to be less well armed than other ship types, so if they wind up in the thick of battle with no way to get out of dodge, they're toast.

[@casbot71]

Unless the Quasar has a external indicator marking _full/empty_ (like a red or green signal flag?) it's still going to be a target cause it's a _cheap kill_ and inconveniences the enemy as now their non hyperspace fighters are now stuck, fighters can't dock for resupply and quick repair mid battle, and it can't do command and control for its fighters that are launched. And without the _we're empty_ running lights or flag, the enemy may hope to get a few fighters waiting to launch, the reserve. Are they supposed to enquire beforehand as to its current inventory? And in the opening stages of a battle, especially a ambush, it is *target #1,* before it has launched its compliment. Rebels jump out of hyperspace without warning and a whole bunch of proton torpedoes are going into your launch bay before the pilots have scrambled. It's the smartest Rebel tactic, one Thrawn himself would use if the situations were reversed.

[@Warsie]

Carracks gave external racks to carry TIEs on, so you can tell if their fighters are all launched or not. Also given they had no hangar bay they would you not be able to re-up/repair fighters in battle

I would move the bridge from the front of the ship more to the hulls center mass and not on the outside of the hull and used multiple different sensor systems to be able to see and fight in combat, I would change and upgrade the shield system with mon-cala style shields like the kind on there cruisers, upgraded its main armament with new turbo lasers in turrets and more of then all over the hull and not mostly focused in fixed forward firing positions also I would add plethora of point defense weapons and anti fighter missile launchers, and the last 3 things I would do is make most systems automated the same way the some of the New Republics new capital ships are add multiple separate fire control systems half for the point defense weapons and the other for the main weapons lastly I would get rid of the observation deck and the fin it is attached to. I would however keep the hanger and store both the newest version of A-wings and the newest version of X-wings and if possible also have a few Y-Wings the A-wings would help defend the ship the X-wings and Y-wings would help attack the enemy's fleet. I'm not a Star Wars fanatic but I do like the Star Wars franchise most likely because I am a World War 2 fanatic. After seeing the video on how to upgrade a Super Star-destroyer my mind went on how would I do that on the CIS Providence class for a few reasons 1 I like the ships design 2 I see a design that if some of its major flaws are fixed it could become a very potent ship in combat. After all these upgrades and changes I feel that a Providence class could fight one on one against a First Order SD. So what are yours And do you think my upgraded Providence class could win?

One A-wing... ONE FUCKING A-WING! and the coolest ship in any space lore I've come across goes down...

[@nerdzforevr9657]

LMFAO! "a random a wing pilot flew into your bridge" hitting the nail right on the head I see?

[@USAFraimius]

Just like Arvel Crynyd

[@kurtengel4652]

"Oh boy, I get to serve in the Empire's flagship! There's noo safer ship in the galaxy" Random A-wing pilot: *Hello There*

[@toasty_the_fox]

THE MEMES ARE EVERYWHERE

[@thelradame5508]

Can you please do witch sci fi faction has the best planetary weapon QEP Alamac (Subnautica) Ion cannon rebels (Star Wars) Mass driver UNSC (Halo)

[@Noahdaceo]

Starkiller Base won

[@franklinchung2094]

I think the malevolence should be on the list since it had the powerful ion cannon which was able to disable several ships at a time and leave them completely defenseless

[@grantjohnson5785]

Well... that makes for good *offense* , but for defense...

[@Valiran9]

Oh god, that ending!🤣 The Corgi gag was, hands down, the BEST part of this video!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Great doc. With this kind of material who needs the star wars celebration crappola.

[@j.r.7339]

The Malovelence could be interesting because it can just Ion Cannon all Captial Ships and if it had good fighter defense it theoreticaly could be very strong.

[@Frizzleman]

Great vid, I always learn something new even about relatively well know ships keep up the quality content my giy

[@j.claus.2914]

Wouldn't the Quaser carried be targeted in order to strand the fighters if they were damage?

[@Ironwthin]

I would like to serve on an Superstardestroyer, because its so hard to destroy and you can survive on it a long time

[@thorshammer7883]

#AskEck *Attempt 472* Do the Forerunners from the books vs Warhammer 40k factions.

[@nizam5568]

I would put them against the ancient Eldar because they are the most similar.

[@falchion1966]

Even without its fighters the Quasar carrier and still an asset and therefore a valid target.

[@EckhartsLadder]

kzbin.info New Empire at War video being uploaded to the second channel. Should be live soon!

[@j.tastic9132]

EckhartsLadder Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past. #askeck

[@flare9757]

J.Tastic Where is that from? It is familiar...

[@bendries4123]

I would want to serve on most or all of these ships maybe besides the Executor SSD

[@USS_Grey_Ghost]

Can you do a video on my upgraded Providence class vs either a First Order SD or a Empire SD or both one on one #ASKECK

[@thorshammer7883]

#AskEck *Attempt 473* Do the Forerunners from the books vs Warhammer 40k factions.

[@Sierlea]

You mentioned the Legacy era, and I'd specifically highly the Imperius- it was a technological improvement that, while only moderately bigger than the already well-designed Pellaeon, packed notably more capabilities. It was faster/tougher/more powerful and an indication of not just a scale increase but a pound for pound one, on top of being in the fairly advanced legacy era to begin with.

[@yourlocalbicronoverlord]

#askeck How would the Star Wars Universe under the Galactic Empire react to a Crusade by the Emperium of Man? For example would the Rebels unite with the Empire in order to fight such a powerful and insanely inhumane, genocidal enemy?

[@maestroicarodecarvalho3947]

One of eck's old videos is about just that

[@yagdtigercommander]

I wouldn't want to serve of an executor class SSD as the hole A-Wing crashing into the bridge has essential made it a meme ship but not because it was bad ass more like a joke at its expense. Like can destroy an entire fleet but gets taken down by one suicide A-Wing once shields were down lol. I also woudn't want to be a tie fighter pilot at least of the empire I mean anything can kill you or disable you like even the smallest of space rocks could damage your wing enough to be stock out in space and would suck when your alone trying send out distress signal for ship to come get you lol. And If you hit an Asteroid your going to explode on impact or bounce around like ping pong ball against several before you do explode. However I think would like Gazanti cruiser or freighter class I know its slow and vulnerable but I just love the ability to deploy 2 to 3 AT-AT walkers just outside the enemies doorstep planet side lol.

[@alexaasmr3035]

Grand Army of the Republic vs. Imperial Army #AskEck

[@generalreclaimer2068]

Sorry to tell mate but it's probably going to be the Imperial Army

[@TangledVirus]

You know Eck I've been watching your videos for a while now and, now I want to make my own sci fi epic, so thanks!

[@tofuapfel9276]

#AskEck What do you expect for the new Thrawn Book " Treason" and what do you wish to see from Timothy Zahn (dispite Thrawn)? Keep up the great Content

[@chrissonofpear1384]

I guess I'm expecting to see more of Thrawn's people, their politics, divisions and competing interests. Plus possible further secrets of Unknown Regions, that could play into Episode 9...

[@DutchBane]

Id serve on the carrion spike. Because of its small size and who better to serve under than tarkin. Also it seems to me a very interesting ship with its cloaking

[@flare9757]

I would personally prefer to serve on a CSD. They sound like the best balance. Oh, and first view and like. Not sure about comment though...

[@Galen55]

If the Chiss upgraded a TIE Defender, I'd fly that on anything they tethered me to.

[@muscleman5726]

I’d serve on the Republic Venator “Negotiator”! Because of the Massive Hanger runway and The many surprises that may appear or arrive on the cruiser like Meeting General Kenobi or working alongside Several Jedi or Clone commanders!

[@ukopnauykgu3700]

Resurgent class star destroyer is good as well. Better armour protection and more fire armed

[@kristonhicks9543]

I love ur theory’s

[@republic9299]

(Not in any order) 1. The Lucrehulk class battleship due to its huge fighter capacity and defensive armaments 2. The Gladiator class star destroyer due to its strong missiles/turbolasers, relatively small size, and a significant number of point defense lasers 3. The Bellator class dreadnought due to its design based around speed (for a dreadnought) and firepower for the purpose of hunting lesser capital ships which is a really interesting idea

[@phoenixx913]

I'd probably want to serve on a Bellator or Assertor class I think.

[@azrael_the_deplorable9874]

#Askeck *388* attempt at Forerunners vs. Warhammer 40k. Idea origin: Thor's Hammer!!

[@inffected0235]

For the 388th time, your suggestion is stupid. You're gonna have to be a hell of a lot more specific because just saying Forerunners vs 40k implies EVERY faction in 40k vs the forerunners and considering even just the imperium would give them a tough time it'd literally be a roflstomp if the forerunners went against that entire universe.

[@ghostshadow9046]

You want to be on the millennium falcon because plot armor protects it from destruction. and definitely don't want to be on any death Star class ships because they're always going to get blown up.

[@jeronimotamez9567]

Could you do 5 ships you would want to pilot in Star Wars?

[@godzilla5006]

#Askeck vs machup Monsterverse Kaiju and Pacific Rim vs Evangelion Angels.

[@Galen55]

Aye

[@stevelenox152]

Some very gd choices but if I was allowed to decide on which ship I could serve on it would be The Resurgent-class Star Destroyer I just love it

[@Confused_surprise]

One of the best in my opinion is the Providence class destroyer (like the Invisible Hand). Because of it's great fire power, it's not-over-the-top-and-easily-targetable bridge, and because it's a well balanced mix between a carrier and a battle cruiser. Armed to the teeth with a ton of Vulture droids to assert air superiority. Also, the fact that these ships could carry tons of droids and material, making them almost able to conquer a planet on their own.

[@miles4618]

#askeck what if Luke was never in the original trilogy? What would happen in the war?

[@amazoncouch7116]

Well the empire would beat the rebels because they couldn't destroy the death star because good luck getting a proton torpedo to turn 90° without force powers

[@davidvasquez08]

Who would win: a massive Stardestroyer or an A-wing boi

[@ranny3507]

David Vasquez *Kamikaze boi

[@davidvasquez08]

Ransom Butler lol 😂😂😂😂

[@aureusknighstar2195]

I think I prefer the Starhawk. Since it has good defense and offense, it is also well armored. And I want to see on board one when it drags a SSD into the planetside with its powerful tractor beam.

[@slay_a_ton9430]

Venator class Carrier/Desrtoyer? The versatility makes it a safe bet for any encounter

[@toasty_the_fox]

But also a great deathtrap... imagine a fleet of Venators against a regular fleet of CIS (like some Lucrehulks or maybe even one Lucrehulk plus the cannon fodder ships I don't remember the name of right now - you are screwed

[@user-Jay178]

Great video and these ships are awesome and cool I would be on these ships.

[@gato23]

Victory Star Destroyer Nebula Star Destroyer Bellator Star Dreadnought my pick.
