Shack: But Daaaaad-

[@90skidcultist]

Love this comment!

[@admiralcasperr]

Note: the Mandator is NOT a good battleship. The rebel version has the old armour, so it has 30k less health then the imperial ones. Despite that, its still an excellent artillery platform. You keep it in the back, protected by layered AA defense and tank ships, and its gonna dish out tons of damage.

[@bradleywoods1999]

Your right but Idk I'd love to see him build it, could then move the fleet sitting on kuat.

[@kyle_mk17]

NGL I thought it was because it was a mandator and the imperials had the bellator

Shack: Let's loose all our shields 🛡 to overpower our weapons. (Looses Mon cal ships) Me: well what was you expecting? A goddamn medal?

[@nitrocatmeower8941]

Me thinks the good Captain thought he was Admiral Shed for that battle, as Shed has ISD's that relie more on big guns, and not the Mon Cal birds who relie on shields.

[@admiralcasperr]

[@HyperShadic100]

So I think a better idea when using those nebulas is to leave your arty ships in there, letting them get that supercharged damage, while having brawler/shield ships out of the nebula and soaking hits. If it's the missile jammer type, it would be fine to have your whole fleet in the middle of it. Edit: You had this idea. Shows that I should finish the video before commenting.

Captain's Log #46. Greetings Commander. I just read the report. It seems the Lucrehulk command ship has been destroyed. That now allows us to stop the forces on Mandalore and Fondor in order the secure the area. As it stands we have a lot of fronts going on. Damn, I just got the report, it seems The Wheel has fallen. As it stands I suggest we build picket ships. It seems we keep loosing the fighter battle. Flack ship could also hel; us in that endeavor. I must be going. I have to introduce myself to the Comandant of Yavin 4. Admiral Pisces out.

[@joeycarterhiba6257]

I like the idea of the Tidebreakers for your siege army. Hailing from mon calamari the vast majority of this army is known to be able to hold down a position. Their motto could be something along the lines of we are the line that breaks the waves.

[@bloomard]

Again, build a massive stealth raid compny with all of the units you can make that are marked stealth, and includ ethe heroes!

[@DrZann]

I dunno, I've never felt like this ever worked. By the time you have the credits to spend on every possible stealth unit most planets are so dug in that you can (at best) disable a few buildings before getting overwhelmed and forced to retreat. I've only had a very few times where a stealth raid actually worked

[@aceclub3555]

@@DrZann To be fair the intended purpose of a raid is to destroy key structures and leave, taking a planet is meant to be hard and should be avoided.

[@bloomard]

@@aceclub3555 it is indeed what you say. Destroy key structures, sometimes you can gain the planet, but at the end of the day you're there to soften and figure out what they have. Having all your stealth units in one place can be a tactical nuke before you send in the cavalry. Plus you can use that detachment to rapidly reinforce planets if need be

[@roguejoe]

The Task/Missions that call for Leia & Han and some commandos will destroy a bunch of defensive structures and units, creating new targets for commando raids. So @bloomard is right. Having all the commandos in a single fleet, centrally located in the galaxy to reach these missions quickly can turn planets for nearly free.

Rebel Diaries 46 - The fight in the galactic north continues, and to a great degree... I'm still left out of it. Admiral Ackbar's messages indicate that he's moved to return to his mission on reducing the Mandalore Pocket, though with their taking of the Wheel and Dantooine recently, that'll be tough to deal with... particularly while Rebel Intelligence seems to indicate that the Corporate Sector is well dug in on the ground there. They have turbolasers, trenches, power generators, and all sorts of bunkers that could hamper any light force... something similar to what hampered the ground force that liberated Deltooine from them at the start of the Corporate Sector campaign. This will surely take time to build up, especially if the Rebels can't avoid any labor difficulties in getting things built... and trust me, I know all about labor difficulties. And a lot of that relates to things I've been confronted with down here in the Galactic South. Bespin isn't under direct threat of attack. The Rebel successes against the Black Sun in the start of the campaign saw to that, but they still manage try and corrupt certain things that generate dishonest business. I'm all for free enterprise. It's how I've made my credits here on Bespin, but the Black Sun isn't above trying to corrupt things with black market goods... and they do it in a weird way. Normally... one would expect a smuggler to have a GOOD product that they'll sell to a buyer. But from what I've found, these black-market goods that the Black Sun sells aren't that good... at least not in the long term. They may function well with the first shot or first use, but then rapidly fall apart later, and can't be repaired by the owner. Which then keeps them having to buy on the black market, largely as the Rebel's war with the Empire keeps them from fully focusing on protecting honest business and makes my work harder... I've had to go all over the region fighting their corruption... It's all so strange. Starting as a smuggler and living on the edge and becoming a responsible leader. It's like Han's rubbing off on me. But in a way it also has helped the Alliance's efforts in the south against the Black Sun. Part of the new Southern Fleet retook Azzameen Station and then rejoined with the main Southern Fleet to take the orbit over Thyferra. One of my flyers with the fleet indicated that the idea to use the Ion Storms at Thyferra didn't entirely work as expected, as the Black Sun did charge and destroyed a few of our heavy ships, but I'm sure the shipyards at Sluis Van, Eriadu, and Sullust can replace those. The biggest news was actually picked up in the aftermath of the space fight at Azzameen Station. We captured a rather rundown freighter trying to escape an old Lucrehulk core ship and found a rather panicked looking man onboard... And let me tell you, what he told was shocking. It appears that with the destruction of IG88's Lucrehulk against the Southern Fleet, the Black Sun has seemed to lose faith in the whole "droid revolution" that IG88 pushed. I'm sure the droid will still be out there and will still be willing to fight for the Black Sun, as he's always wanted to kill for money. But it would appear that there is a faction in the Black Sun that wanting to push for a more "Hutt Cartel." It's strange that they waited THIS long to get into it... as one would have thought that Black Sun would have done that when we were fighting the Hutts in Hutt Space, but... oh well... I suppose this will mean more trips around the region to fight corruption and could mean that all the droid tech the Black Sun has been using may be on borrowed time. - Lando Calrissian.

Rogue Squadron Journal Week 268 - Etti IV Cmdr. Witton Bogre - Rogue Leader CorSec is still proving to be a pain. Over the last two months Rogue Squadron has scanned their defenses on their three remaining worlds and they're dug in deep. Shack has determined that a dedicated siege army will be required to root them out. Unfortunately that takes time. Time that could of been spent elsewhere. Like dealing with the Black Sun. They continue to make gains against us, this time taking Dantooine and wrecking havoc among our trade lanes lanes and capturing ships and cargo. Admiral Ackbar has responded and driven them off but the planet itself remains under their control. To top off this mess word has reached us of the battle at Thyferra where some air headed commander thought it would be wise to use a nearby nebula that drains shields but powers weapons, on Mon Cal ships. The losses were unacceptable for such a weak enemy position. If there's any justice for those ship crews the commander will be sent to Koriban. They only good news is that construction has started on a Mandator dreadnought. Thing's been on hold for the better part of a year while the Alliance negotiates with the Kuat shipyard owners. Kylah, the former engineer who oversaw both the Executer and Conqueror projects while with the Empire before defecting has been asked to help lead the construction effort. She's reluctant to leave, but it's a great way for her to really help the Alliance. She can finally put her Kuat ship building knowledge to use instead of constantly fixing the Liberation and our fighters. I think the real reason is that she doesn't want to leave me and go back home to her imperial family. They were staunch supporters and she's afraid of what they'll think of her defecting and that she's in a relationship with the leader of Rogue Squadron. She should go, I'll be fine. I've got the Rogues, Sabers, and Saul's crazy Warhost backing me up. Though they've tried there's not an Imp out there that can do me in. And there never will be.

It would be awesome if the rebels could refit captured Venators with X-wings and Y-wings. Also, what ever happened to the Rebel's ISD capture mission?

Captain's log: Moral is at a all time low at kuat since the lost Admiral talon. He was the one person that everyone look up too and even when it got rough, he still be there fighting with us to the very end. He has been the moral booster even when missions and operations wouldn't go are way. (😮‍💨) I'm sure we going to make the enpire pay for his capture. I casually look out my read room to see the massive ship that the republic is putting there time in. They say that once it's done, are fleet could finally go on the offensive for once. I just hope that it's worth it cause I saw reports on how to defeat ships of that size, endless swarm of fighters and bombers, take out it's engine, then pepper it till it buckles on the inside and can no longer do anything. I was never a big fan of larger than life ships mostly cuz of how weak they can be against star fighters. (I chuckled) I was remembered the old days of the ark hammered to be rumor to be built, it was a large ship pumping out endless drones to defend itself. Gone were those days. As I well resting in my ready room, words came over that the massive rally of forces destroyed that old big donut that was IG 88. That's good to know that force are willing to come together to destroy something like that. Those old donuts were a good concept In my opinion, plenty of fighters and a simple platform to control a entire region and to inspire fear to those to wish to impose it. Glad it's gone in my opinion. (🥱) really need to catch some Zs. Computer save log and bring up the battle reports from lightning squadron when I'm back awake. (END LOG)

[@SolitarySpade_Davon]

Captain's Log Davon Cress, CO of MC 80 Independence Class Battleship "Phoenix" Currently detached from the main fleet. Admiral Carrick's southern offensive has finally come to an end. Without their main flagship, the Black Sun is in a state of turmoil (according to the rumors coming out of whatever is left of them). Azameen Station was liberated by one of Carrick's detachments after recent reports showed that much of their ground forces were moored in the station. Unfortunately, we were unable to catch said ground forces, but the station was nonetheless liberated. One of the last bastions of the Sun's southern prescence was Thyferra. Being their last line of defense outside of the Fondor Shipyards, the orbit is well-fortified. Carrick employed a strategy that... (if I am reading this man's file correctly), ...he employed exactly once while serving in the republic. He used to command a detachment of Dreadnought-Class heavy cruisers, known for their tough armor. During a skirmish over Andal IV, Carrick ordered his ships to remain hidden within an Ion Storm to increase their weapon systems' energy priorities. Though their shields were practically nil, their weapon systems laid waste to any Confederate ships heading their way while allowing the dreadnought's armor to soak up the damage taken. Unfortunately, employing this tactic with ships reliant on shielding (such as our Mon Cals) was not... desirable. While yes, our ships obliterated their garrison, losses were higher than what Admiral Carrick anticipated, even losing the previous flagship "Deliverance". I'm unsure if he will be reprimanded for his actions here, but our fleets are short-staffed. Demoting one of our very few admirals would not be ideal considering where we are. Command gave the greenlight for Kuat to continue construction of the Mandator-Class SSD. While not like the Executor we faced, it still packs a punch as an artillery ship. What Shack wants is to have it defend Kuat all by itself, but I'm not sure it could do that alone. I personally recommend a handful of carriers, particularly Quasars or Liberators as well as much more screening vessels. Having point defense will be crucial, especially for a ship without it. I've linked up C9 to the FCS and other systems of the Phoenix. It'll take a bit of time gettimg used to it, but the interface is rather similar to the Dauntless's, so it shouldn't be that hard. It's not exactly Ackbar's Home One, but this ship could definitely take a beating. Sadly, I have to report back to and from the Liberation, mostly because much of the intel coming from the black sun is fed into the Lib's archives. Might even congratulate Rylan for proposing. For now as usual, Cress, signing off.

[@leonardodavinci8313]

Proposed Plan: First off Shack you do you! I love watching your empire at war series but here are some ideas There are too many gnats spreading your forces thin. 1. Smash CorSec and Yaga Minor to consolidate the North and get more supply depots 2. Smash Black Sun in South to start tickling the Empire's underbelly and start pushing towards Corellia 3. Use stealth forces to cause trouble around the Empire.

[@user-jh2xh5wl8l]

Nabooan analitics center report. Week 268 As our relocation caused by Black Suns break on Eriadu is compleated it's time to summarize our military efforts of mean time. First of all we should notice the global exhaustion of rebel forces. Most of them suffered substantial loses, that made them incapable to face several combat situations. Such state of our space forces made our worlds vulnerable for Black Suns strikes and such state of our ground forces made them enable to retake those worlds quickly. In the regions where our forces were superior, they were wasted. The loses of fight for Deltoone are still unreplenished, the fleet over Kuat is needed on it's position and can not be used in offensive operations for some more time. Now about the war with Corseck. The beginning of the invasion was a nightmare. To hot headed to succeed, no recce, no fleet with proper anti-fighter capability and no ground army to take the surface. Not saying, that this unimposed conflict was preferred to the conclusion of the Black Suns' problems around Mandalore. It is hard to not notice some imperial tones in our actions on Deltoone invasion. All in all it is gratifying to see the work on mistakes, with using Kyle Katarne as spy and designing fors for exact battles or refusing from attacks. Speaking of future, tactical we would offer to strike Mandalore and Wheel straight up. The fleet doing it may suffer serious loses, but the forces left combined with another fleet in the region should be enough to protect from Black Suns' local threats. Speaking of Fondor we find dangerous situation with enemies fleet sieged over the planet. Using a Mandator could be a good solution. The only way to destroy Yaga-Minor shipyards we see is using Bakuran capital ship with it's engine boost as bait and drop some bombers and fighter wings to capture dreadnoughts in the south and blow the Yards up, to any other variant we would prefer the strike on Mandalore. Strategically our forces need to regroup. Most ground battalions are lacking of armor, artillery and air support, fleets need lots of fighters and some artillery and several other types of capital ships.

[@denpaulobona1411]

Hey shack you start the ground invasion of the corsec and make it as depots so that it could generate money in your backlines. Build mini fleets at the northern and on south west to repel attacks from the empire or black sun.The maw has a free shipyard for yoy to take out too. Comine your fleet at the corsec area and push through mandalore. Lastly prepare a ground force and a fleet so it would act as a response on the upcomjbg hutts.

I really like the meta star wars game multiverse idea, it would have to be anchored/based in a main game that is pretty free will based like star wars tabletop (I think tabletop would work the best) so "missions" and skirmishes in other games could be consolidated in one place. Something like youre an admiral giving out missions to the community, you start the tabletop with a map of the galaxy and then go into other games and do whatever, then you go back to tabletop and give a small mission debriefing and change the galactic map to reflect whatever happened. Admiral wants an outpost on a trandoshian moon? Go Into space engineers and build one, imperials oppressing local populations on a backwater planet? Go into Arma and wipe out the base. Then go back to tabletop and change the map to reflect that. I think not having a central place for all the information or storyline will make the whole thing just fall apart or not Interesting

Another two IG backup systems are confirmed destroyed from our Western Flotilla during a brutal assault on the Black Sun’s frontline. According to our intel reports two more remain. We have confirmation that one such backup is on Mandalore, and the other we speculate is on Fondor. Only time shall tell if he’s gone for good. News from Kuat and it’s a big one, a massive order of armor plates and weapon systems have been ordered and delivered to a satellite dockyard far from the main port. This can mean only one thing, the Mandator is coming online. Her design may be deemed outdated by Galactic standards but I know she’ll serve the Alliance well. Engineers from all over the Galaxy are arriving to help bring her online as quickly as possible. Cheers Admiral.

53:00 I’d say take the Black sun worlds, like Atzerri, Thyferra, maybe Fondor and Ghorman too, so that your frontline worlds aren’t just space stations. Keep the fleet at Kuat, and prioritize taking out the area around Mandalore and taking the ground of Corsec, to free up more units

[@Awsomonium]

I kinda want to see a fleet made of 20 squadrons of A-wings, 15 X-Wings and 10-15 Y-Wings (Maybe with a few Carriers thrown in for resupply and a couple of screeners for good measure.) Fighter Fleets are my favourite, because Alpha Striking a target just looks AMAZING when all the missiles come in at once. Massive Interceptor fighter screens are one of my favourite spectacles because it makes me think of the enemy fleet's fighter pilots just saying "Sir! Are you telling me that I have to fly into that swarm? Because I feel like that's a bad idea." I also like attack moving large interceptor squads through the middle of the enemy fleets because it scatters their targeting and pretty much everything except point defense misses.

[@Darkfire7881]

Commenting on that meta/community campaign idea: best i could come up with would be to hold some sort of Battlefront 2 (classic or new) tournament. Where the community would perhaps be divided into 4 teams (Rebel, Empire, Separatists, Republic) and who ever wins the tournament, that would be the faction for the next EaW campaign. So say Rebels win, have another Rebel campaign, but perhaps change it up somehow, smaller galaxy or harder AI. Or some other rule; like can only build and expand from one planet

[@AxelPaul307]

Squad had an awesome Clone Wars mod that may work for your community event game.

I thought he was taking Cinda's death pretty hard, but now it's become something more than that. Everytime his great company goes on a raid, he always is leading it. Every week is another raid, and every week sees him return depressed when he should be celebrating a victory. I only want him to make sure he doesn't get his men hurt. In other news, Azzameen Station is now in Rebel hands and Thyferra was attacked by the new Southern Fleet, with the group over Kuat being good for little else than window dressing. The Suns took Dantooine in the meantime, and half the infantry officers are demanding we go back and clean them out. Also, Kylah's being called to help with fixing an old Republic dreadnought. That... that's all I've got to say. I've got shit to see my men about. Asura's also getting ready for another raid, Shin's going with him this time. [End Log]

Actually forgot to like the episodes I was watching so I'm gonna go back and like every episode of the caesaries

[@thesentinel1578]

Ion Storms feel like they would really benefit Artillery Ships far away while the main force keeps the enemy distracted as the Captain said. Like the MCs are engaging at the front, holding the enemy's attention while the Marauders and other arty. move into the storm and attack at range. While the Battle of Thyferra showed the effectiveness of the storms, it also highlighted the risk.

45:32 were those seismic charges

[@cursed3051]

Shack this is episode 47. You already have a episode 46. Love the content. Keep up the awesome work and stay safe

[@mikek7402]

Jakku is Rey's home in The Force Awakens, I think you're confusing it with Jedha, which had the holy city that was destroyed in Rogue One

[@unhackerthelaziestbastardo6083]

I think that a good idea for a siege company might include some Mon Calla Infantry (I wrote this just before they were mentioned) Maybe those AA tanks as well. Perhaps the treaded tanks.

[@spacebumpkin1565]

Funny that this is the one I decided to watch

[@inductivegrunt94]

I really can't wait for the Siege of the Core Worlds. That will probably call for everything Shack has to bear to even have a hope of victory there. Corellia, however, is a temping target. Corellian Engineering Corps may be a worthwhile prospect to justify liberating and fortifying the planet.

shack the entire series "mon cal ships are worthless without their shields" shack this episode "but i wanted my ships to go more pew pew"

[@colresswesker8912]

Shack: I am a genius! .....Oh NO!

[@David-jt9nt]

Fun fact for you Shack; Arma (the base game) is used by the CCP to train soldiers for combat

[@milamberpuc7059]

Oooh 😢that last battle yikes it’s a good thing you are with the rebels as vader would have choked you for that nebula strat 😅 that was a bit painful. But I do understand 😂

[@billygrantham5380]

The thing is, if he was playing as the Empire it probably would of gone better. ISD's have the armor to last. Mon Cal ships don't.

[@californiarespublica]

this series is awesome!

[@pktrainerpk5supersus459]

tfw shack been playing in game over 5 years by now

[@heartoffire9995]

Please shack I suggest taking AARGAU so that Kuat isn't on the border of the empire

[@tkc1129]

Well uh... that was a thing. I'd still suggest attacking Mandalore, even though you have given them a lot of time to reinforce it. You are losing a lot of ships fighting their fleets when you could just cut off their supply of new ships, and their mobility. Even if you take Thyferra, you have lost more worlds to BS and you are losing BS as a buffer against the Empire in the southern core.

Watch those wrist algorithms!

[@LoliFoxQueen]

one of my favorite things to do in SWBF2 (original) was flying into enemy ship hangers/running into the enemy spawns and stealing their vehicles. killing AT-ATs with an AT-ST by shooting it in the ass will never get old.

[@kindasupersonic7114]

You are basically talking about the game Foxhole … but for Star Wars where you can do land and space.

[@pktrainerpk5supersus459]

wait for the mandator then with the dauntless fold them like omelettes

[@bananacabana2817]

shack you use the duantless in the ion storm with the heavy armor ti would shred anything

[@goldenguardian8753]

Algorithm breaking time!!!!!!

[@TheBrianMertz]

Love the series! Commenting to make this the most randomly popular episode 😂😂😂

[@nicolasnicolandis8606]

Thrawn's revenge allows you to steal ships

[@pawsqa6076]

going through the ion storm was kind of a blunder, your capital ships biggest strength is their shields

[@ParkerClements-jb3cu]

Everytime i hear "Screening Ship" my brain autocorrects to "Screaming Ship".

[@kub5615]

Squad Galactic contention could possibly a good game for ground invations
