Got recommended 4 years later I love how long this channel has been out been here since 4,562 subs

[@adamorick2872]

Same here

[@lazerrhino]

So when it comes to the capital ships it's the "Lumpy Turds" vs the " Pointy Triangles"?

[@SLCBronco]

This mod is screaming to be made into a fully developed, modern engine, stand alone game with a story driven campaign, fully supported multiplayer, the works. As much hype as Star Wars is enjoying right now they would make mad cash on it.

[@wesleywilcox8829]

I agree

[@mr.applehead9431]

Did you know that you can destroy an ISD by ramming a Hammer Head Corvette into the bridge after disabling its deflector shields?

[@Glandorray]

The TIE Droid is what your'e thinking of. No, the TIE defender is also known as "An X-wing Pilots' worst nightmare."

[@mrcleanit4760]

It’s not called the tie droid

[@deliri0us08-2]

Or if there's 30 tie defenders, home one destroyers

[@BlitzBat313]

Thank the omnissiah! You would think it would be easier to find one of my men, but I haven't seen a single priest, skitarii, or anything like that until now.

[@xandermurdock6131]

"Now our problem is that our Independence Cruiser is out of firing range..." I wonder who ordered him to do that. Still, good video. Do more Warlords.

[@spartanmando4288]

TIE Defender was the best TIE variant the Empire made in the Galactic Civil War. Not only did it have 4 laser cannons, 2 Ion cannons and 2 warhead launchers capable of firing proton torpedoes or concussion missiles, it also had shields and a hyperdrive. It was nicknamed the X-Wing KILLER for very good reason.

[@datonkallandor8687]

The reason most ships have the Deploy Mines ability is because ships in the Homeworld 2 engine need that ability to be able to shoot at missiles. It doesn't mean they can actually deploy mines. Also, always remember in Homeworld 2 Classic and it's mods: If you give a direct attack order your ships will NOT shoot at incoming missiles. Always set them to Aggressive stance (F4) and give them either a basic (green) move order, or hit stop (S) and let them autotarget. If you do that they will use their PD guns to shoot at missiles and targets of opportunity. More Warlords specific advice - the game is really accurate to the now-Legends EU, so if you want to know what a ship does you can probably look it up on Wookiepedia. Also if you're going to go for a resourcing match, make sure you pick a big map (one of the Warlords maps instead of vanilla would be cool because of the awesome star wars backgrounds, but I don't know if they have resources on them) so you don't start the game in weapons range. If you do play another Nav Beacon match, having a lower starting RU count but periodic injections of more money makes it much more interesting. The "energy bar" you keep seeing is the electronics health - it gets depleted by ion cannons. You can also make accurate strikes on subsystems with torpedo armed strikecraft. Two dozen Y-Wings, coming in at the right angle hitting a subsystem will significantly hurt a capital ship that costs 1000x times as much as the Y-Wings - but you do need numbers and you do need torpedoes for anything bigger than a frigate. Fighter scale lasers and ion cannons only tickle capital ships in small amounts.

[@mujo1157]

I love those videos *-* more of this game and this mod pls

[@MandalorV7]

I remember the TIE Defender from the X-Wing books. It basically was the Imperial equivalent to an X-Wing and B-Wing. The fighter had a hyperdrive, missal launchers, shields, and if I remember correctly an ion cannon. They came out a little bit before Endor and were only flown by the elite fighter units such as the 181st.

[@TheGAMEXES]

that lets play is what ive been waiting for. hopefully it lasts as long as the republic at war because that was amazing

[@adamorick2872]

Shack not sure if you'll see this but it's great your channel has been around so long

[@JonathanPer_JackHammerSalm]

Tie-defender was from the expansion of Tie-fighter and it's the equivient of the B-wing fighter. the tie Phantom was from rebel assult 2

[@readable95]

awakening of the rebellion is great, i started a rebellion campaign after you spotlighted it, easily one of my favourite mods for forces of corruption

[@zaeta522]

Hello readable95 i will buy homeworld remastered collection and i ask you: where i download this mod? Are the republik and the seperatist in the mod?

[@gusshawinimash3675]

this is the best battle I saw great Job

[@adamtruong1759]

I've heard that the Independence class star-cruiser was more or less 1,300 meters canonically (100 meters longer than a Liberty Type MC 80), but since this is was the first time I saw the Independence class, I find it hard to accept.

[@vampplays2845]

I remember your first video of warlords and i loved it and im so excited that you have done more!!! Can you do the clones vs the cis next video??

[@mbossXNC]

the first time i remember hearing of the Tie Defender was actually in the expanded universe's X-wing series of books, rouge squadron after getting a full squadron of them, i can't for the life of me remember how, its been a few years since i read them, but they used to help take down a super star destroyer that some crazy, loyal till the end to the emperor, officer had

[@banzeyegaming2234]

This video’s an oldie but a goodie. Please do a new episode!

[@robertprice335]

love watching your stuff man!! been watching for some years now i look forward to your next vids ... MORE SINS OF A SOLAR i you need some peeps to play with i am down.- call to arms !

[@needsanewname414]

I love how he does all the accents of the different races XD Also, Do the resource mode!

[@Eddace24]

Oh yeah ! Do More videos on Warlords and Empire at War !

[@rudesquire6904]

thank you for making this

[@jonahmoore5228]

Hell ya keep up the Star Wars mods plz

[@LukeSkywalker01]

the tie defender was the fighter that grand admiral thrawn had produced during the war

[@crispy0103]

I believe, as it says this in the readme or something, that the Venator class gets its beam weapon from the hangar. I think you have to press/hold Z then to click on an enemy. You should see your icon turn into the standard "attack" icon, but with a yellow circle inside. I have only ever managed to get this to work once, but you might have better luck.

[@eddibuddingh7591]

love this keep it going

[@paulunderwood573]

oh marvellous captian please carry on with the rebel fleet I wanna see you kick serious empire ass XD

[@krnt13]

I really love seeing this mod being played, pew pew pew sounds everywhere! I will be waiting for the resource mode gameplay, also please choose a a StarWars themed map, those HW2 backgrounds don't look very fitting.

[@true4616]

honestly, a part of me died when I watched this video... but then I am amazed too because I looked everywhere for star wars models for homeworld.

[@jaymiealvarez805]

Also that those two star destroys one was like a bobor and that other star destroyer was like a little of the top

[@Von_Langstein]

Shack, as far as i know The Tie phantom series has shields and a cloak and a hyperdrive. but cannot use both (the cloak and shields) at the same time. so in the video, most likely they were charging in full shields during attack runs, then dropping shields and booting up the cloak for when they are getting in position for another run

[@prozombiekiller0544]

This reminded me of the MCS 3rd fleet from Titanfall 2

[@guardsmen.jbravo3387]

the dark side May have cookies. But the light side has cake. and the grey side has badassery

[@jadenlilly6113]

Wow carful with that music man

[@jathaal7123]

Hey Shack, are you looking at the 2.0 Star Citizen public build at some point?

[@greylines67]

thx for the work

[@VuNguyen-fn8lg]

Yes. Please shack do a reasources gathering one

[@apfelbaum7402]

Would definitely like to see a classic game with the star wars mod.

[@kylekeeten8782]

Ima get homeworld 2 when its on sale on steam...looks really fun

[@cayden-ip4sz]

The Tie Defender is from rebels and some of the outer rim stuff has tie defenders

[@starmechs]

Next Walords match: The Eclipse SSD vs the entire rebel fleet by itself. Trust me, Captain, That Super Star Dreadnought needs no support fleet. actually maybe a wing of defenders just to get rid of the enemy fighters.

[@awakeandwatching953]

the bugs are due to the remastered version which also effects the original versions that were included. the mod worked fine on hw 2 but the rm effected both hw 1 and 2 original that came with it. the dev explained this and is working to update and fix the problems and port to RM but like many modders the incoming large update should change this. all the ai, ships on wrong factions, broken ai production etc are all related to this

[@captaindragon0193]

make sure you check the fighter spawn cap!!!!!!! and please play more of this game, idk how to install the mode so i just try to find videos on KZbin and watch that way. Let fun, but it works. Great job tho XD

[@Autofire-nw5ty]

Hey Shack, I've just started a story play through on empire at war in on the mission where you have to capture Leia.....I'm a bit more focused on capturing everything around me though. Can't wait for your lets play of it

[@rozier5875]

I hope he didn't forget about the cis campaign yet

[@xthor86]

The tie defender was the hyper advanced one. More powerfull and better in every way then any rebell fighter craft.

[@Von_Langstein]

+Thor “Cast1” M But in low numbers, as only the best of the best would fly them and they were quite $$$ other than that, its a amazing craft, IMO I think I'd fly a Phantom over a defender tho, looks wise and functions

[@xthor86]

Well yes. But it was specifically made to murder any rebel fighter. The best pilots and the best fighter craft in existence. And yes hugely expensive.

[@monicaeldred2146]

9 t w gbxycgbxyc tea a tea u4 corduroy iron7 equipment

[@Dethmeister]

The battles in this look better than Sins of a Galactic Empire mod for Sins. The ships move too fast in Sins to look Star Wars like, even on slowest. The models in this look better too with the moving turrets and the visible battle damage effects on the skins. I haven't tried Ascendancy or Interregnum though. Of course Sins is on a much larger scale (smaller scale ships) than Homeworld so I guess there can't be as much detail.

[@katheemartel1318]

This is possible to explain where to install the mode from the data game and lunch the mod ?

[@thatirishgamer1316]

Is this on steam and if so how did you get the mod to work?

[@ltdan2809]

have they made an hd version yet

[@zevriungames7463]

Hey shack, you should do a spotlight on the remake of the Star Wars weapons for SE

[@cam4652]

Yeah that would be great

[@tacitronin.3146]

The tie defender is the super tie it has shields and a hyper drive

[@andrewsnow3089]

Hope you've gotten in touch with one of the mod authors, as stable as it can be it has a few problems depending on who you play. I've ran into a few problems like when I have two planets left to conquered the moving of land units breaks making it impossible to finish the game, and if you do something in a certain order you can't build the death star. Other then those two empire focused bugs they aren't any other problems I've ran into.

[@kjlande]

Did you just say that you have never seen an invincible dreadnought😁

[@samroyston4112]

Almost at 200,000 go shack

[@Dionizos666]

[@ihavearequest1]

Can anyone tell me how to fix Homeworld 2? It hates AMD drivers apparently, and I can't install this mod because the game itself crashes upon startup.

[@addictedgamer4893]

1:37 I face palmed.

[@blackwidow2649]

How did you get this

[@Doney898]

The bar is for the Ion Cannons and it being disabled.

[@OzyWizard1973]

Please get an rebel RU video done

[@malaclypse2317]

You're a PC gamer and a huge Star Wars Fan and you don't know where the TIE Defender came from? For shame, Captain.

[@ErichZann]

+malaclypse2317 That traitor, Grand Admiral Zaarin! If he hadn't betrayed the Emperor then Endor would have been a victory. I'd like to see Lando destroy the Death Star reactor while being chased down by thousands of TIE Defenders.

[@nilsd4899]

malaclypse2317 Where it come from?

[@malaclypse2317]

Nils Denkler The classic PC game Star Wars: TIE Fighter. It was also in X-Wing Alliance

[@nilsd4899]

Thank you :) I only know it from Battlefront.

[@aurorathearcticwolf4243]

OMG THE FIRST DEFENDER MADE IS IN STAR WARS REBELS!

[@dman1596123]

+TheXPGamers are you hyped for the home world game?

[@Conefed]

Decimate is to remove 1/10th of. Devastate is to destroy.
