A purely practical upgrade would have been to eliminate the external bridge superstructure ect, and have an internal bridge using Acclimator style holographic displays. As well reverse engineer Mon Cala dispersed shield generators and spread them around the entire ship - C,mon the Empire must have been able to capture at least one smaller Mon Cala ship using ion cannons. Just add in as much point defence as you can and then you have a far more robust ship that doesn't have any real exploitable weaknesses. Yes if it loses power you can't look out the bridge window directly, but if you have no power what's the point?

A common fanon design you will see in Role-playing forums, Mods and other fan made media is the Imperial III. I'm not really a fan of most Fanon ships because they tend to be too powerful and have a lot of super duper special properties to make them unique. But I'm actually a fan of the Imperial III because most of the time, it's just a base Imperial design with most of its ground compliment removed in favor of greater Fighter compliment and a slightly weaker but more rounded armament including more capable point defense guns. It feels like what the Imperial always should have been and doesn't use any weird or overly powerful technology. It could easily have been the Mark I.

[@maxrander0101]

[@rmartinson19]

I'm convinced that the ISD-I specifically is an absolutely superb warship that was tragically misused by basically everyone post-Endor. It is literally everything any navy could ever want in a peace-time warship to serve as a backbone and workhorse of their fleets in a time where they had no peer-level enemies. It has the speed to outrun most things it would want to catch, the firepower and durability to outclass any pirate or local PDF that ever lived, enough fighter/bomber carrying capacity to handle most carrier-based mission profiles, enough troop-carrying capacity to serve as a reasonably good planetary assault platform, enough personnel and internal volume to handle any number of humanitarian aid, evacuation, transport or resupply missions, and enough cruise endurance for long-range patrol and exploration missions. Much like the Galaxy-class from Star Trek, the ISD-I is the perfect "jack of all trades" starship. But like any jack of all trades, it is a master of none. Put one up against a Tector-class SD in ship-to-ship combat, and the Tector (as a dedicated battleship with significantly more armor, shielding and firepower) will thrash the ISD-I every time. Compare it to a dedicated carrier spaceframe like the Ton-Falk or the Venator, and it starts to look pretty underwhelming as a fleet carrier. Compare it to an Acclamator, and it's obvious that it's a hideously inefficient troop transport and assault ship. Basically, it was a first-rate second-line vessel. During wartime, the Empire should have kept their ISDs back to patrol, police and defend rear areas, while fleets of specialist warships like Tectors, Ton-Falks and Acclamators served on the front lines. Instead, everyone from the Galactic Civil War onward kept hurling fleets of unfocused generalist warships like the ISD at each other, and wondering why they weren't getting the phenomenal results they expected. Then there's abortions like the Galactic-class Battle-Carrier which sought to completely change the game of naval warfare... by being exactly like the ISD, just in a slightly different hull-frame.

[@chadmueller6128]

Agreed. ISDs served their purpose for the Empire pre-Endor very well. Reconstruct the bridge to make it less vulnerable, equip better starfighters (improved TIE Interceptors with shields for example) & operate them as part of balanced fleets and ISDs would be more viable combat vessels post-Endor as well.

[@rmartinson19]

@@chadmueller6128 Mostly, yeah. But unless your enemy is thoroughly inferior to your own forces, I think using them as frontline combat vessels AT ALL is a mistake. That's not really what they're designed for. Use Tectors, Ton-Falks and such for that kind of thing. ISDs should be used to anchor fleets of patrol ships for anti-piracy and anti-smuggling operations, or to escort large convoys to protect against enemy frigates and light cruisers pulling deep-strike raids. They can also be outfitted for heavy-duty exploration duties, with a serious complement of probe droids, survey craft, and small hyperspace scout ships. With that setup, a lone ISD could chart out an entire subsector for later colonization and exploitation. Or if exploration isn't what's needed, repurpose their ground attack force capacity and most of their hangar space to carry supplies or people for humanitarian aid missions. Basically every rear-line mission you can think of, the ISD can do really well, and is flexible enough that it can do one of these missions, then stop by a local naval base and completely change its loadout and mission profile on-the-fly. If you're ever using one as the centerpiece of your battle fleet, then you're either too poor to afford to field additional dedicated line battleships like the Tector, or you're just plain doing it wrong.

[@chadmueller6128]

@@rmartinson19 Agreed but there are just too many of them & it will take far too long to replace them all to not use them as part of your combat fleets. They just should not be THE main element of combat fleets.

[@elizataylor1726]

I never thought of it this way but yeah, it really is an amazing second line ship. The one issue I have with it in that role is too many turbolasers and no laser cannons for fighter defence. Which we see in the series over and over is their biggest weakness against rebels. I have to imagine any pirates or pdf would use fighters, but I figure tie fighters would have been able to deal with them. But after encounters with rebel x wings, they should have cut the turbolasers down by about 30% and mounted laser cannons. Replace some tie fighters with interceptors and you create a big effing problem for any rebels, pirates, or any other irregular force trying to take down your star destroyer, since interceptors were faster than anything the rebels had except I think the A wing.

[@rmartinson19]

@@elizataylor1726 It depends on which continuity's version of the ship you go with. The Disney Canon version has no anti-fighter weaponry, but the Legends version of the ISD-I class drops 2 Quad Heavy Turbolasers, 3 Triple Medium Turbolasers, and 2 Medium Turbolasers, and adds a full 40 Point-Defense Laser Cannon mounts. In both continuities, the ISD-II has no point defense capability, but if you prefer the Legends version of the ships like I do, then the Imperator/Imperial-I class doesn't have that particular weakness.

Technically speaking, the otherwise derided Xyston star destroyer “is” a better Death Star… At least in that the Superlaser has been slimmed down in size and operational needs to be able to initiate a Death Star scale blast (on the lower end of course). Lacks the range and nigh-indestructiblity of the DS or Starkiller, BUT every singe ship with 1 is an existential crisis, and the only planets that can feasibly survive a full blast of even the 1 would have to be VERY VERY heavily shielded, which said planet likely wouldn’t be unless it was already menaced by cosmic natural disasters or massive invasions on the regular anyway.

[@violetlight1548]

Kudos for mentioning the often-forgotten Chiss Star Destroyer. I used it as a basis for my own design for an ISD for my AU, where the Empire of the Hand is a much stronger and more important faction: *Spiral-class Star Destroyers* Named for the magnificent ringed gas giant Spiral, the fifth planet in the Nirauan system, around which the Empire of the Hand’s main shipyards are built, these slim, daggerlike ships are smaller than Imperial-class Star Destroyers (1.2 km long compared to an ISD’s 1.6 km) and take a lot less crew (only about 5000). As is standard on newer Hand ships, the Bridge tower is eliminated, with the bridge itself nestled deep within the structure of the ship. They are powerful for their size. Like a “mini-Renaissance”, (though they are, in fact, the basis for the larger ship) SpSDs are equipped with both Imperial and Chiss Ascendency weapons, featuring banks of turbo and spectrum lasers, deployed in retractable turrets, tractor beams, ion cannons and/or plasma spheres and breacher missiles. Some, though not all (usually 1-2 per battle group) have interdiction technology equipped. Like the Hand’s ISDs, SpSDs also focus on starfighter deployment over ground forces, even though their TIEs usually consist of hyperspace-capable TIE Defenders. Spiral class ships are predominantly assigned to Fleet Admiral Karyn Faro’s Seeker Fleet, whose primary mission is to patrol the Galactic Rim hunting for any signs of the Far Outsiders. As an added bit of psychological warfare against the technophobic Far Outsiders, Seeker Fleet ships are usually named after fictional machine lifeforms from a children’s novel and ani-holo series once popular in the Core. They also perform limited exploration duties (at least until the dedicated Explorer program is implemented) and plant hyperspace beacons. They are slowly replacing the aging ISDs to become the premier battleship in the Navy of the Hand. Spiral-class ships use the designation “HMS” - “her Majesty’s Ship”, in honour of her Imperial Majesty, Lexx’elarra’nuruodo (Xelarra), Empress of the Hand. Known vessels in the class: HMS Starscream CO: Fleet Admiral Karyn Faro (2 ABY +) Flagship of Seeker Fleet, for a short time Flagship of the Navy of the Hand, during Admiral Faro’s tenure as Supreme Commander. One of the first four Spiral-class ships built, and founding member of Seeker Fleet. HMS Thundercracker CO: Captain Rae Sloane ( 5 ABY) Thrawn’s flagship while assisting the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet against Ssi’ruuk incursions (“Reunion”). Captain Sloan was personally mentored by the Grand Admiral, and is considered Admiral Faro’s protégée. One of the first four Spiral-class ships built, and founding member of Seeker Fleet. HMS Skywarp Torguta CO Equipped with Interdiction technology, its smooth lines are broken up by its spherical, gravity well generators. One of the first four Spiral-class ships built, and founding member of Seeker Fleet HMS Shockwave CO: Captain Kyra Pyrondi Captained by a long-time crewmate of both Grand Admiral Thrawn’s and Admiral Faro’s, this ship serves as a testbed for new weapons developments, with Captain Pyrondi herself often participating in the design teams. One of the first four Spiral-class ships built, and founding member of Seeker Fleet HMS Grievous Kaleesh CO Named for the legendary, deified leader of the Kaleesh and General of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, specializes in long-range “hunting”, and preemptive strikes.

There's an earlier Star Destroyer that uses the same general hull as the ISD/ISD II, but it dates from the Old Republic. I'm talking about the Tector class.

How to fix the Xyston-Class: Make the ship actually be an Imperial-I class with a jury rigged superlaser. This would explain every fault: 1. It would explain why the design took a step backwards from the Resurgent-Class. 2. The size of the fleet would be explained as unused Imperial-1’s that the first order inherited and pressed into service. 3. The jury-rigged cannon was such a massive drain on the Imperial-1’s outdated reactor, that the ship couldn’t use shields or hyperdrive until it was in space; any remaining power was dedicated to the engines 4. Again, because the Imperial-1 was never meant to house a superlaser, the direct and improvised connection incidentally destabilized the reactor core. Therefore, destroying the cannon destroys the core, and by extension the ship itself

Honestly, Resurgence is pure garbage. It's an "almost" dreadnaught type of a ship with a large carrying capacity. The answer to both was known for a long, long time - called the Venator. Decrease Venator capacity to something more reasonable and slap some ion weapons or just more turbolasers, shields and armor and you will have a bunch of multirole fast strong relatively inexpensive ships that can cover X systems at a price of one. Resurgence doesnt fix the main issue of an ISD - its massive size and cost, and just makes it way worse by turning it from a Earth naval battleship with a very niche battle role into a battleship-aircraft carrier hybrid that does everything, which did exist irl but it was dumped for obvious reasons. What's the point really, just make a modified ISD or something like modern Bellator class at this point for frontline fights, which will be almost indestructible in normal combat anyway and a bunch of long range light\medium support carriers. A massive ship that does it all makes no sense, it never had and will never make

I don't think the Star destroyer needs to be "bigger" i think it needs to be "better", which is why I always wondered why they never updated the star destroyer to a MK III. I imagine KDY adding more point defense, spreading it's weapon complement around it's hull for better all around coverage. They need to better protect the ship's shield generators by moving them into the hull and probably beef them up as well, it could use an armored up bridge but that's honestly not as much of a weak point as people seem to think. There would be other augmentations like better automation, allowing for smaller crews; probably rework the fighter complement with next generation ties etc.

[@Marsyas01]

The thing that always confused me about mounting a super laser on a ship: regular Star Destroyers can already render a planet uninhabitable.

What game was playing in the background?

0:25 This picture just looks so goddamn awesome!

The resurgent isn't the most famous just the most recent.

[@Raso719]

Im glad you're doing more ship breakdowns and lore vids. I really don't care about how Disney or EA are bungling the franchise this week or next because, frankly, there's nothing we can do to make them get their shit together.

[@RocketHarry865]

The resurgence class is the one thing about the sequel trilogy that I like

[@thebatt6183]

My favorite sd replacement is the MC 90

[@savagethebest234]

I love the empire alot in star wars.

[@GiovanniCamacho121]

Can you do another video about the Venator class star destroyer?

[@void2258]

I have Jewish roommates so any non-kosher food is a no go in my house.

[@Yarpon]

What about the Bothan assault cruiser?

[@gamingguard5895]

what game is in the background?

[@johncameron6110]

Please put first order at the end of your video’s

[@MrSmithSAH]

Video idea based on thumbnail: comparable ships from other universes that could beat the ISD or vice versa

[@ag6778]

the xyston is a good concept, but a bad disingn

[@UNSSC01]

What’s the game he’s always playing???

[@evilmotorsports5076]

I forgot Eck did Star Wars content.

[@sardonicspartan9343]

One of the better looking post OT ships.

[@Comicsluvr]

There is something to be said for a 'do it all' ship that is actually good at most roles. Like the wet navy destroyers, they grow and evolve to be all-purpose ships that can do lots of things.

[@altragaming5021]

Do a video on Fractalsponge’s Dictator class Cruiser which would of fundamentally be a better Star destroyer in most aspects.

[@jackolantern147]

Can we do the CSO vs Executor full video? You said we might and I want to see a full breakdown.

[@beagle3247]

The thumbnail ship is actually pretty good it's no Stargate ship but the hangars look like the perfect platform for a phaser array that I've been looking for a new hull design for. Should make for a very indestructible but powerful main gun and the bridge shape is perfect for a weapon mount or turret so the missiles should be pretty hard to disable as well.

Dude you almost to one million subs

[@carsoncasmirri3874]

It stands to reason that if a good chunk of your personnel are Imperial defectors what better equipment and ships to give them than what they were trained on and already know better than most. From my own experience there is a whole hell of a lot less of a learning curve when you’re already familiar with certain weapons platforms, this is true for anything from kit and small arms to ships and vehicles.

do they deliver to canada?

[@recurvestickerdragon]

I love the 5th Fleet so much
