STAR WARS REPUBLIC AT WAR! Ep 17

[@TheWildPotato13]

For you main fleet use the stealth ship in charge so you you can seek around before hyperspaceing everything in

[@SirThinksalot2023]

it ded

[@darthplagueis13]

It´s not like he can´t recruit a new one.

[@bluenight104]

Every time shack plays this game I pity the men under his command

[@qjw9824]

I don't think the person was giving you crap because you use pause to hyperspace in, he was giving you crap because during the ships hyperspace in, their shields are about 4x weaker and take much more damage. You are dropping your ships right next to the enemy so their shield defense is nowhere near as effective. Drop them a little further back so they can use the full effect of their shields. Also the Victory 1's drain shields to charge their weapons when you use weapon overload

[@Maddog-wm5xi]

Providence Droid gunner to ship Commander: "sir, we've caught a Venator by surprise, he'll be destroyed in seconds" Hypervelocity cannon "BITCH YOU THOUGHT!!"

[@ctirons]

Ok, that made me laugh harder than I would have thought.

[@captainvanghn]

What

[@marcosbravo9645]

Shack, bombing runs always take the longest route possible to their targets. So, the best place to place AA turrets is on the middle of the map. Notice that this is a thing the AI usually does.

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

Shack: Can I get uhhh 10 Lucrehulks?CIS: Lucrehulk machine broke. Shack: Understandable, have a nice day.

[@CorpsofDiscovery1803]

Actually, your saber tanks can run over droids. Much more effective vs large droid battalions.

[@rafayh]

I'm playing the version before this, trust me, while nice to do, it's a pain to get the tanks to run over them. It's like they don't want to kill droids...

[@marcosbravo9645]

Shack, don't get me wrong, but may I suggest planning a little bit more before sending your ships to exit hyperspace in point blank range of the enemy? Here's my approach on the battle of Utapau: First, with the stealth ship in command of the fleet, perform a scout in the enemy position. Now, you know the enemy has not only a support fleet, but also a Providence. With this information, bring the fleet away from the enemy, and wait until every fighter is launched. Divide the ARCs in four groups of two squadrons each. Send the V-wings, followed by the ARCs with S-foils closed and the slower rest of the fleet. Once the V-wings arrive, use them to distract the enemy from the ARCs, and use them to perform surgical bombing runs. Send them to the Providence shield generator, the station shield generator and the two launch bays, with these targets down, you should concentrate on the enemy frigates if there are enough ARCs left. Once the rest of the fleet arrives, the Venators must target the Providence (that should be without shields by this point), or it will reduce the support fleet to debris in no time. Once the enemy has no way to replenish fighters, clear the area with V-wings, and let the support fleet deal with any fighter trying to do something stupid with the Venators. Now, you can let the Venators and ARCs destroy the station and remaining support fleet. Ta-da

[@garrisontaylor871]

Way to tactical and complicated for Shack XD

[@AG-yc7vt]

That is pretty good

[@maxr5613]

That's what I do but the time my venators/victory class ships arrive my arcs have murdered every provedince and frigate in sight lol

[@maxr5613]

And nearly killed the space station

[@LFwitch_hunter]

yeh those arcs when in a swarm are stupidly deadly. can takeout a lucrehulk in 3 strikes using them. one for engines. one for shield, one for hangers, then ill just pick off the concussion launchers and they cant touch my venators

[@Firecharizard-yx4lg]

Clone: Nothing more deadly than a clone behind the trigger Vader: That’s cute

[@j.bproductions5424]

Firecharizard1234 Rex: lMaO bItCh yOU wAnNa FiGhT?

[@Neon-zq5of]

Utapau was a poorly planned attack even for you shack plan before you go on the offensive. You should take time to rebuild your fleet's cause the Droids are slowly depleting your forces.

[@qwadfff]

Agreed. He's a lot more reckless in this play through than his other one a couple years ago.

[@marcosbravo9645]

Neon in my opinion, what he is doing with the excuse of "being agressive" is almost suicide. Mind taking a look on my strategy for Utapau? First, with the stealth ship in command of the fleet, perform a scout in the enemy position. Now, you know the enemy has not only a support fleet, but also a Providence. With this information, bring the fleet away from the enemy, and wait until every fighter is launched. Divide the ARCs in four groups of two squadrons each. Send the V-wings, followed by the ARCs with S-foils closed and the slower rest of the fleet. Once the V-wings arrive, use them to distract the enemy from the ARCs, and use them to perform surgical bombing runs. Send them to the Providence shield generator, the station shield generator and the two launch bays, with these targets down, you should concentrate on the enemy frigates if there are enough ARCs left. Once the rest of the fleet arrives, the Venators must target the Providence (that should be without shields by this point), or it will reduce the support fleet to debris in no time. Once the enemy has no way to replenish fighters, clear the area with V-wings, and let the support fleet deal with any fighter trying to do something stupid with the Venators. Now, you can let the Venators and ARCs destroy the station and remaining support fleet. Ta-da

[@Neon-zq5of]

Marcos Bravo i read it

[@firestarter000001]

Im not sure it would work, the reason being im pretty sure that providence was a free unit from the level 5 station. Sonearly the moment you kill it another will spawn and you will get boggled while the station keeps shooting at you. Nah imho the right way is going straight at the station, but imho he spread the venators to far away. And the basic thing is he really didnt have the fleet to take a level 5 station without losses.

[@firestarter000001]

Imho Thats why he really really needs the pride of the core, to win those battles without losses.Venators are great, but you willt ake losses if you havent got a force multiplier like the pride of the core.

[@kluttchkyle2318]

when you attack a tier 5 space station go for the 2 hanger bays first because that's how there bringing in all their extra ships. it should be your first priority

[@rafayh]

It's also where the providences spawn from. So annoying that he can't take a minute and read garrison info. Would've saved him venators if he did

[@joshuaang755]

Rafay H agreed or if he has the time and knows how, go through the XML files. I'm very sure that it will give home a better understanding of each unit of each faction

[@carlmoats8673]

When you load in a map and it legs really badly like it does in the first part of the video my friend that plays this mod turns his Graphics down low and then turns then back up to his usual settings and that usually fixes it for him

[@petesperandio]

What about the droid attack on the Wookies?

[@matthewwiles1974]

For once, that stupid joke is actually relevant

[@seanurbik5158]

We won it.

[@lisarawlinsonart]

He's right, it is a system we cannot afford to lose.

[@eagleblade5484]

It has been repelled. The Wookies can defend themselves.

[@_NeoImperia_]

I knew someone well say that

[@marcosbravo9645]

Shack, put the stealth ship in command of the fleet.

[@qwadfff]

The stealth ship died in this episode, and there's not much point in rebuilding it. I've built it in my own play through, and even if you put it in command of the hyperspace jump, it's SO SLOW! The only battle field advantage it has, is it's anti-fighter weapons. It's better to do what Shack's doing, and that's putting a fast corvette in command.

[@marcosbravo9645]

qwadfff you sure it can't scout the enemy position?

[@qwadfff]

Yeah, because cloaked or not, the enemy fighters can still see it, which gives it's position away to the larger ships/stations. Not only that, it can't even sit in orbit of an enemy planet and tell you what's there, but Delta Squad for some reason can. It's rather disappointing.

[@marcosbravo9645]

qwadfff enemy fighters can see it? What the heck?

[@qwadfff]

Yup. When they fly close by, the stealth ship fires on the fighter squads, and then it's position is revealed to everything around it. I think that's because cloaking wasn't part of the original ROW mod, so it doesn't know how to process that mechanic.

[@ghostofrevan4455]

Best fleet idea a bunch of those red corvettes, all three star destroyers, and the pride of the core, ain't nobody gonna take that out

[@jesballboy]

55:31 CaptainShack: "Keep firing, you guys are doing great." Clone: "Thank you."

[@AnimeTwirl]

I absolutly love the music from the Star Wars Universe

[@qwadfff]

Is anyone else irked when he calls his Imperial Star Destroyer (ISD) a Victory-class?

[@AGrumpyPanda]

In fairness he also has Victory-class ships. Shack ain't exactly the shiniest rock in the pond but we mostly love him all the same.

[@dalekcaan8495]

qwadfff it's an imperator class in the clone wars

[@ctirons]

dalek caan True, but the mod just calls them Imperial class. Likely to avoid confusion.

[@attilathehun5067]

It got annoying after a while...

[@zacharyblocks4927]

Yes very

[@anthonyz6913]

You really need to actually invade their planets.

[@andywang7034]

Focus on building more Star Destroyers from Kuat. They seem to do really well against the CIS Lucrehulk Battleships. Complement them with Venators and a mix of Coreillian corvettes and other support vessels.

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

He's just jumping too close from hyperspace. If he'd be more careful he'd be way more effective.

[@ctirons]

Sadly he can only build like 3 of them. The game puts a limit on them.

[@andywang7034]

Well, maybe have the Star Destroyers form the main core of each fleet?

[@hardysimpson8199]

He needs to have three isds and about six to ten venators in his main fleet to give him a chance against the malevolence... as well as like 15 ish acclamators

[@andywang7034]

+ Pride of the Core if he can manage to save that much money.

[@bashzamy954]

Your 501st squad is connected to a hyperspace lane to a planet that is controlled by you... You can get them over there anytime

[@marcosbravo9645]

Shack, you don't need to unpause to get sensor range to bring reenforcements, you get it paused immediately after bringing a ship. The area in the map, however, will not became transparent while paused.

[@BAFOC]

Shack you have control of an IMPERIAL class star destroyer not just victory class, please use it wisely with a decent support group

[@HellsPurity]

Whoever complained about the pauses clearly is new to the play through and just skipped every other video just to talk crap.

[@matthewjones4670]

Have you noticed that the separatists build fleets like really fast

[@Charclone]

Star Wars FunFact: In Legends, Yavin has 26 Moons.

[@TjtheSquishyLegomanic]

Timothy Solomon wow, that's interesting

[@jarednakkashian2558]

That’s no moon....

[@VainerCactus0]

Jupiter has 60+ moons, why so few on Yavin?

[@Charclone]

Eaten by Yavin prime? Other celestial bodies prevented them from from staying in Yavin's orbit? Writers don't know good number of moons for a super-massive Gas Giant?

[@VainerCactus0]

Prob the last one tbh.

[@ackulakan]

Quite a deficit in credits. I know it's difficult but moving Uncle Palpy around helps cut cost.

[@avalonangeloflight]

"what about the droid attack on the wookies"- Ki-Adi-Meme-Mundi

[@RSAleft9]

Hey Shack you gotta build fleet balance. Try to balance out your fleet with Aclamators, Arquintines Corvettes and destoryers. If you have the other support ships backing up the carriers that are pumping out fighters that will help a ton with the fighters. Also the Victory classes are the best support ships you can get cause the torps they launch are devistating and they add some fighters to the combat scene that can help with crowd control.

[@void8617]

Imagine the droids reaction to the ISD

[@Mikeg_-hc7hv]

Dude bringing that imperial star destroyer in was so epic. That thing looks like so much fun

[@Noon69]

theXPGamers: "can a jedi take out a carrier?" me: "yes" theXPGamers:"how?!" me: "plot armor"

[@ajstartrek]

Dont cross the bridge, burn it. Great episode Shack!

[@gromzi7384]

Shack, you actually can turn your ships around. Pick the ship with left click, then hold the right mouse button and move your mouse where you want your ship to be facing. It's extremely useful and works most of the time.

[@Ian-gh7ci]

I started a new campaign on normal starting on tech 1. Commando raids in that situation are soooo effective. All the enemy has on their planets is a droid works pumping out B-1s. I took pretty much all there critical planets using a couple heros before they could launch a single meaningful assault.

[@Wolfeson28]

Once again, PLEASE stop hyperspacing in right on top of the enemy. It leaves your ships vulnerable without giving you any advantage over jumping in near the edge of weapon range. Also, when you have an ISD in the fleet, put it in the front rather than the back, since it's clearly much tankier than the Venators. If you'd put the ISD in the front at Corellia, you wouldn't have lost any ships. I strongly recommend you pull the fleet at Yavin 4 back to the core worlds. Right now, it's just sitting out there inviting a large attack, and there's not really anything more it can accomplish there. Pull that fleet back, combine it with the ISD fleet over Corellia, and use that force to kill the enemy ships over Atzerri to re-open to route to the south. Then, send the ISD or a couple of Venators to join the southern fleet and make up for its losses. As for the south, take Utapau, and then Sullust next, so you can lock down all those hyperspace routes.

[@wkya1239]

Can you build the pride of the core please

[@side-beeetaloniswolfwolfac4179]

Raptorgaming12 Patience young padawan, the 'gun slab' will come in due course.

[@DK5589]

shack be broke. until he refits his fleets before he is overrun, 1 big ship wont help him. btw i just managed to build that monster in my game, its epic. flanked by venators its awesome. my other 2 fleets have a ISD in each. very effective. I have yet to need to engage a space station as i use the jedi with delta and some arcs to take the planet from under them.

[@LonelyMinnesotan1]

48:02 shack: oh. I lost a venator..... me: ok you have an imperator one star destroyer. your venator is now an outdated technology. you bring the Star Destroyer in first and then the venators on the flanks! not the other way around!!! Idiot...

[@hardysimpson8199]

well in that situation i would do the same thing... Isd has way better weapons and you only have like 1 now so keep it alive so it can tear them apart

[@hardysimpson8199]

but then again I said that before seeing how he brought them in... bring them in as a line to force the ai to divide their fire

[@jakushkadarkstalker6278]

Shack if you hold right click over your bigger ships and drag the mouse slightly around an arrow appears. When you let go the ship will turn around to that direction. If you have a lot selected then they will all turn that direction so you don't have to move them in order to turn them.

[@liammorgan-nolan8991]

Captain, it is in the opinion of this observer and of the dictates of common sense; That immediate action is taken in order to secure victory in this campaign. The first issue that ought to be addressed is that of ensuring that our supply of venators is constant. I would suggest setting aside the shipyards at Coruscant to constantly produce venators so that an adequate supply is available for the fleets of the Republic. I would strongly suggest this course of action as it will free up all other ship production planets to produce the support craft needed to keep our fleets strong enough to complete their objective; Coruscant is also a very well defended planet and is relatively far away from the front lines; furthermore, having a central location for Venator production will definitely increase organization and help in the transport of Venators to the front lines due to its central location. The key implementation of this strategy would be to ensure that at all times Coruscant is producing a Venator to reinforce and support our fleets across the Republic. May victory find you on the battlefield Captain, For The Republic! Sincerely, Office of Republican Strategy.

[@AngryKettle]

SHACK super important! Ships with stealth like Anakin and the Commander can't blockade planets because they're invisible. You need any other ship.

[@kecin25]

Shack you got to build the pride of the core, it is so powerful and the sensor range on it covers the whole map, I use it as my scouting ship because almost everything on the map is in range of it... it also tears through their capital ships

[@alexandretaranoff714]

You should really use the 501st it's been sitting in orbit for ages now ;)

[@thatangryginger]

That winky face makes this comment weirder than it needs to be...

[@aws2104]

You should save up to build the pride of the core.

[@leogarcia4295]

Is the next episode of edge of the empire coming out next week?

[@darthplagueis13]

Now that´s a change in scale. I mean at the very beginning when the Acclamators are the biggest stuff you can recruit a venator is freaking heavy. But once you get the imperial class... Now, that is a ship if I´ve ever seen one...

[@gabe9414]

You need the pride of the core it is the best ship in the game! All you need to do is take the pride of the core and your fleet and be aggressive. you will will everything. Also build the other star destroyers they are also really good.

[@henrybramall7001]

Hi random comment scrolled, have a great day!

[@warriorpro6328]

Last episode: this ground force has no armor. *nothing changes* This episode: this force has A LOT of heavy armor. 😑

[@mightygeneral4359]

We should have a counter of how many times shack got broke in a game in a playthrough

[@Rahul-m6g6s]

I think the CIS gets a credit every time that happens, which is how they get so many Lucrehulks.

[@pdc4930]

I am currently playing through this campaign and winning quite handily. My strategy was raid as much as possible early on before the CIS create flak turrets and tanks. main worlds to claim are mygeeto, (the core worlds), then I clear out capital ship worlds in the mid rim like Fondor and Bestine. Remove their ability to make captial ships. I also took reach targets by raiding like Mandalore and took Obiwan to take Hypori deep in their territory and trapping their southern fleet over Rothanna. All while increasing my tech level. the AI is stuck producing Resucants and droid carriers in the east.

[@jonharper4478]

Shack, You NEED to put a couple of Clone Companies on Atzerri, maybe some AT-PT walkers too. They keep hitting you there and you're barely holding out yet don't reinforce them.

[@marcusrashford9959]

I really think that you need to tone down the difficulty. This series has got to a point where you can’t even move you’re own forces without being attacked by about 20 luckrehulks at any given time.

[@rafayh]

Also, I doubt he can change difficulty mid campaign. Besides, his last series lasted over a year with 69 episodes. Still working my way through that one lol

[@marcusrashford9959]

Noble 6 I wouldn’t be surprised

[@rolandilosvay9470]

It's pride of the core time Shack

[@Jacktexter]

[Advice] Captain move your fleet that's over yavin and put it with the star destroyer reasons are that those planets you have up in the north there can defend on the ground very well so don't even worry about the orbit and secondly your southern front is where you entire focus should be because that's where there sending most of there donut ships and a few venators is just not enough fire power for 5-6 lucerhulks. So combining those two fleets you should have enough fire power to take out any remaining fleets and defend the mid to core worlds from any other fleets while you build reinforcements.

[@theawokenking3208]

Shack I think you might want to use ISDs in your main fleet it should make it very effective

[@tupe444]

great to finally see the star destroyer in action

[@mchlmcbrd]

In my play through I literally blockaded EVERYTHING, they still produced capital ships randomly even with no space freedom at all. Also, I usually had no issues with tier 5 stations just from the fighters of 4 Venators, so i lost only fighters.

[@TjtheSquishyLegomanic]

All battles: 00:00 05:29 07:55 10:52 13:58 20:35 22:15 28:00 29:18 33:33 37:03 43:33 50:39

[@seeu1atergamer483]

On rothana you can build lats I think that's how you spell them

[@AzureanSky]

SeeU1ater Gamer LAATs

[@johnwillsea6600]

In legends there is a jedi who took out 3 venators in a ship called "The Sharp Spiral" (they were stolen venators)

[@sirlordjustinian8266]

it appears that you can move the 501st off ti the front-lines, or at least the core worlds. double check the hyperspace route for the move near kamino

[@igncom1]

The republic star destroyer is so cool!

[@qwadfff]

[INTEL]Also Captain, Sullest and Sulus Van are not properly blockaded because you have stealth units in orbit.

[@I3oo1ve]

Build The Pride of the Core

[@DK5589]

USE THE JEDI SHACK... they are so powerful and useful. i am playing this now and using the groups of Jedi to raid the ground, win, and the space station is destroyed. I wouldn't do it all the time in this campaign for an audience but a few times hell yes. At least use them in your ground assault force. They move undetected. Grab Shaak Ti, Bariss, Anakin, Plo Koon and Yoda who are doing nothing sitting on the planets. Mon cal has Kit Fisto, you also have the others in your fleet. I also made a ton of naboo starfighters, i think they are xwing stats, they have the voices, i made 20+ in each my attack fleets. The jedi are not worth using in space against fighter swarm.

[@llamallama5046]

Love the game and your Channel

[@angelsworld9296]

This is my favorite series

[@gamingtoday1418]

Shack! You can build LAATs at Rothana. Dew it!

[@firestarter000001]

Imho Shack you really need to be much more long planning and economic, because imho a loss to attrition starts to loom on the horizon. Building/rebuilding constantly those level 1-2 stations deosnt help much and you spend tons of cash on them , cash that could go into your fleet. Decide upon a few key planets to have level 5-4 stations, rest of them reinforce on the ground only so they can hold, spend all the saved cash on pride of the core and the fleet.

[@blaymeister]

Shack, that was an Imp Star not a Victory that kicked ass 😁

[@logannoernberg5709]

You should have a fleet with the pride of the core, 2ISD, 2 victory 1 class star destroyers, and a bunch of anti fighter ships

[@chantellejones7900]

On rothana you can build laat gunships for 2000 credits and turbo tanks which is a good counter to mtts

[@qwadfff]

[INTEL] Atzerri needs ground forces Cap Shack. You've been attacked there so often yet you neglect putting even basic troops there! Shack: "But I've still held it with what I've got, which is basic production buildings." Me: Yeah, but you've been holding on by the skin of your teeth each time. Why not make it a more sure-fire thing your going to win? Ground forces are stupid cheep compared to orbital ships, so you can more than afford to pay for a few troops each paycheck.

[@KPhilipHH]

Star Destroyers shack, Imperial class, I beg of you more

[@darthplagueis13]

I think the Turbo Laser towers should have a bit of an area of effect onn their shots because honestly, they suck right now.

[@williamstafford474]

how is the AI building 9 or 10 lucrehulks. when shack is only building 5 or 6 venators

[@kor3480]

Maybe cheats. Maybe just a lot of building facilities

william stafford AI has instant build and infinite credits

[@dominicvucic8654]

The modder Corey from thrawn's revenge has stated that empire at war ai cheats with it's money build cap and how many ships they can get so he implemnted an upkeep system witch helped stop the cheating ai

[@dominicvucic8654]

Noble 6 thats up to the republic at war Dev team personally I before up keep I would nerf the cis fighter spam buff the aclimators check out the firing arcs on the victory star destroyer rescale the imperator star destroyer and arquitens, nerf the hmp gun ships nerf the range on the artillery units for both factions a little and get rid of the buzz droids then focus on stability before upkeep is implemnted

[@dominicvucic8654]

[@freejones9129]

you need to take ground one sector at a time shack

[@sgtpepper0spray]

@19:30 seriously what the hell is wrong with the enemy AI? That doesn't even look fun to play against.

[@rafayh]

Just wait till you see their stupid numbers. I managed to win, on the older version too, with only a level two space station and it's garrison, no upgrades, against a fleet of 9 munificents, 30-something patrol ships and a few hammerheads with my killing 9 of the frigates and 26 of the patrol ships and all hammerheads. No losses on my side.
