What Even Happened This Episode | AOTR | Empire Campaign 3, Episode 58

[@sjeveburger381]

hey Shack, your SSD is over Centares! you'll find it in the midrim next to The Wheel just south of the old CSA territories

[@SoulFury11]

Yup its at Centares

[@EASTERN_ENCLAVE_REMNANT]

It hurts to see shack like this. You scream at your monitor begging him to see what's so painfully obvious, yet he still never sees it until you point it out in the comment section. Love his vids though.

[@jameslewis2635]

You forgot to say that he's 'blind as a bat'.

[@michaelsellers4788]

The fact that he spent like 10 seconds talking about Caito Neimodia and looking at what it had on that planet, only to not see Centares RIGHT NEXT TO IT, WITH THE OBVIOUS SSD ICON. He is truly blind as a bat.

[@sanskitten1581]

"How did you manage to misplace and entire SSD?" - Tarkin

[@mr.president7190]

You will be blown away by what we have achieved in CW, back porting all our new features to AotR will completely change everything.

[@ghostboy2742]

There’s only so much cock teasing I can take man. I’m eager to try the AOTCW when it comes out.

[@carlfors488]

Sweetest. Can't wait!

[@masonworker2670]

Stop teasing me so! I await with the utmost excitement

[@otakufreak2617]

U guys having a clone wars era mod is gunna be crazy. Having such small details like the cannons rotate to track targets is crazy to me. U guys rock!

[@CloudJLaw]

This mod is about to be legendary..

[@be-noble3393]

Shack: “Can the Emperor not remove corruption?” Considering he’s 98% of it, I don’t think he should be able to.

[@michaelsellers4788]

Funny thing is, the leader heroes in the vanilla base game (Mothma and Emperor) actually could remove corruption. They were the only few ones who could do it.

[@tehistory]

The SSD is on Centares, the icon is just smaller than the other ISDs

[@JulesA-C]

Omggggg 😮 one battle after another, this was well worth the wait. I want more. Also Shack lost or misplaced a super star destroyer.

[@anumeon]

Lost a Super Star Destroyer Master Shack has, how embarrasing. How Embarrasing.

[@AgentofLADON]

​@@anumeon "Should we tell the class what you lost last time the council went to the cantina?" "Up shut!"

When the Imperial Naval Logistics bureaucracy is replaced by the Administratum

[@Zaeikil]

Field Agent Log: Maj. [ERROR: Unauthorized Clearance] Imperial Intelligence Agent “Harbinger” It is honestly impressive how much of a grip Moff Shed has on the Imperial Navy and its resources and how incompetent he and all of Imperial High Command are. Shed continues to waste time, effort, troops, and resources on a fruitless campaign against CorSec, which has beaten back Moff Sheds forces. In the meantime, the Alliance has retaken Koensayr and the Mid-Rim is in danger of collapsing leaving supplies and troopers stranded. It appears the only two competent officers, Grand Admiral Star and Lord Vader, have been tied down by High Commands inaction and tangled in the disgusting web of bureaucracy that is ever present in the Imperial Military leaving them unable to act or take the fight to our real enemies of the Rebel Alliance. If something isn’t changed soon, the Empire may full well collapse in on itself. Leaving the galaxy in turmoil. I can only pray that doesn’t happen, for the sake of the galaxy. Agent Harbinger, signing off. [END OF LOG]

[@NP3GA]

Death squadron log: Well, we lost Koensayr, we got Toprawa, there have been skirmishes all over the place, CorSec is apparently counterattacking, Viers is about to restart the campaign to put them down and we are still stuck over one planet and the front is frozen over. Oh, and high command apparently lost the SISD, good times all around. Log ends. Joyce: What do you think? Naila: Bit short but serviceable, you're getting a lot better. Man, that was hard to say. Joyce: Hey now, that hurt my feelings. Naila: Oh come on, you know what I mean. (Petting Joyce.) Joyce: Speaking of mean, where's Onéka? (Elsewhere) Onéka: Look man, it is not personal, I just need some stress relief and Lord Vader needs information on the pirates below, and I assume you want this to end quickly. So how about you cooperate, so everyone can be happy? Oh, and do not lie, I will know if you do.😊 Pirate: (couchs blood.) f u you bloody psycho! Onéka: Oh my friend, you should have known by now. (Puts knife through pirates hand.) I'm not the one who will be bloody in the end.

[@Deckard575]

I feel the thumbnail comment should have been either Dude Wheres my SuperStar Destroyer, or Everyone remember where we parked.

[@OnyxheartWolf]

>Shack sends speeder bike to scout >Sits in cinematic mode while the poor scout gets shot to pieces and doesn't look til after he dies and you lose vision Never change Shack x3

[@billygrantham5380]

501st Journal Week 217 - Devaron Sgt. Kale Clayson "Insult to Injury" Koensayer has been taken by the rebels. Mari's home has been defiled by that rebel scum! As if that alone wasn't enough, that damn rebel commander, Saul Nartha, Mari's killer, led the assault. He burned his way through the capital and put every imperial to the sword. Thankfully Mari's home town is deep in the woods well outside of any rebel activity. Her grave there shouldn't be bothered. A small comfort but it does little to cool my anger. If imperial command could just get it's KARKING ACT TOGETHER, we could actually push back this rabble! As it stands, Grand Admiral Star and Lord Vader have been hamstringed by Shed and his absolute incompetence! How this man has such a strangle hold on the navy and it's resources is beyond me. The CorSec campaign has completely collapsed and has made a mockery of the Empire. For the last few weeks we've been steadily losing ground that never should've been lost in the first place! All that effort, all those lives, wasted. The Mid-Rim is in danger of collapsing and yet high command flounders. If it isn't imperial bureaucracy it's the incompetence of the officers. Star and Vader are only two men, they can only do so much against it. Mari... I'm sorry your home is under threat once more. We'll take it back. I promise you. Rest in peace sweetheart.

[@hamptonmini4204]

I see we have once again forgotten about doing the Hoth story mission...

[@sonofjack6286]

Captain's Log Orbit of Devaron Week 117 The fires in the galaxy continue to burn and we still sit here doing nothing. Koensayer has fallen. That said, nowhere outside the capital itself seems to be occupied. The Corporate Sector campaign is falling apart. The Corpos have rallied and taken back Imperial gains. The second half of the fleet has still not moved on Telos yet. My squad and the others continue to sit here and do nothing. Vader is dragging his feet taking the planet.

[@Sigma0283]

In the Expanded Universe, Warlord Zsinj had a permanent blockade in orbit over Dathomir to prevent the Witches of Dathomir, especially the Night Sisters, from leaving the planet. Any unauthorized ship approaching the planet or attempting to leave the planet was destroyed. Any ship that crashed on the planet was also targeted and bombarded. Dathomir was in Zsinj's Territory. In the novel The Courtship of Princess Leia, Han Solo was technically the owner of the planet when he won the deed in a sabacc game.

[@benji9870]

I love how you've been "finishing off the CSA" for 3 episodes now xD

[@inductivegrunt94]

5:18 Seeing Shack talk about Cato Neimoidia when Centares, where the SSD is, is right beneath it hurt to watch as Shack scrolled past it.

[@roachbugging7201]

I love how the devs of this game consistently update their game every year in November. Even though it’s almost 20-25 years old.

[@ericgunddlefinger4439]

I believe I saw the SSD in centaries.

[@varunkunchala]

I wonder if you could code a way for ships that are finished building to move to a certain point to gather as a fleet. Kind of a rally point or planet. Imagine if you are building several ships across the galaxy and designate a fleet gather point at a planet and a infantry gather point. You would have to code it in such a way that only freshly built ships and ground units would move to the rally point. It would make the micro a little more manageable.

[@tglarson12]

One of the AT-ATs causally walking through an enemy base walls @ 1:04:04. Actually seems legit.

[@CloudJLaw]

“What do you mean we lost the Super Star Destroyer!?”

[@odinthewan]

8:05 at Denon, you cannot build another imperial palace, as you already have a Moff palace on the ground. They have not coded it to stop you building it, but the building will automatically cancel once it hits 100% build. It's a minor point, but given everyone else has berated you for the obvious stuff, i thought I'd mention this for anyone else looking to play this fantastic mod.

[@robertcarruthers7337]

shack if you cant find a big pulsating arrow then what chance do we have that you find one ship in the galaxy

[@lightspeedvictory]

The carrier blockade runner you used in the tabletop series with Eck, Charlie, Corey and Wasted was a fan made ship based off of one from a Westend Sourcebook called the FarStar. It had hangars only on one side while the other side of it was a standard blockade runner

[@cornblaster7003]

12:55 that corvette with the side hangers likely comes from the ship "night caller" in the rogue squadron books, basicly the story of the ship is someone under warlord zinj got ahold of it and turned it into a pocket carrier, then wraith squadron got it and modified it to fit their needs (removed some of the tie fighter racks to make room for x wings, ect)

[@owainbeaney6313]

from what i understand of the meta, orange is local pirate factions and white is an independent force. sometimes the blurb on each planet may mention a company or group that justifies why the independent force is there but it basically just gives and excuse for Commander Shed to insert some random force to be the enemy on the planet during the voiceover i.e. some seperatist holdout or local governement.

[@Alutube-u1y]

There are 2 different shades of pirate-purple is third-party groups on a planet controlled by another faction, and dark orange is just straight-up pirates who control their own planet. There are a few 'independent pirate' plates in the core. Orange is its own minor faction, like the CORSECS or hapes, white is an independent force, and purple are local third-party pirates, units from an abandoned factory or droid works.

[@tglarson12]

See you all in an hour!

[@tkc1129]

Are we gonna get to see the Rebel AI form the New Republic? That'd actually be really hype. Also, no you didn't have to kill every pirate on the field. You were not seeing the red dot of a remaining Rebel. Your forces stumbled onto him near the end. Shack, if you actually think Telos is the only CSA system left, you are in for a big surprise. :-P

[@RinIsArty]

Shack you're blind as a bat, it's at Centares I had to do it word for word.

[@thomaswellman-boyde1684]

Great video shack. Once again, I'm here to remind you to que some tier 3 infantry so you'll have it by the time you think about them again. Also, you have TO MANY ships in the south. You could easily pull some back to help you deal with the mid rim and corsec. Personally I think your next move should be consolidation of the north and core resources you have a lot of forces sitting around like a whole battle group of support ships sitting in the core that you looked at in this episode but didn't notice. Or crushing cor sec so you can not worry too much about that area. Doing both would help each other. Also, while you're fighting in the north, you could also clean up that area between Moff sheds north and corsec. You already did this a bit with your fight to get back to CS space. As you have seen, a few planets are still independent, which is an easy fight. Also, independent factions WONT retreat, hence why you were fighting so many leftover fighters. I'm not trying to tell you how to play, just reminding you of some things as well as my personal thoughts on them. As long as you're having fun with the series, that's what matters. But if that Clone Wars mod comes out, you'll likely want to shift to playing that, and cleaning up your map a bit could help you if you wanted to do a full conquest for this game. I'm always excited to see new videos and can't wait for the next one !

[@aalen4663]

I think you should start using the exactor because it's what will help stabilize the Empire also it's on the plant that is above the wheel

[@NarrowGate117]

Centares Shack. Your SSD is over Centares

[@tk-6967]

0:29 There was a Hutt model on the Sail Barge, but he didn't count as a separate unit, so the lore excuse could be that it was a minor Hutt leader. We have had several cases of less significant Hutts working with the Black Sun who seemingly weren't affiliated with the Hutt Cartel, so it is possible that this was a similar case.

[@Flasecookiesewingkit]

13:20 "Vengence is ours men, our fallen brothers can sleep soundly tonight" S : "alright we're not sticking around that was litterally passing through" no love for the troops

[@naoura4939]

There is a great system out there that has a veryt interesting "Stake" system in ship-building, called Wildsea. It has a great way of each player bringing new elements to that ship. Could be a good thing to draw from for ways that someone can 'upgrade' or 'legacy' a vessel.

[@nathanoutdoors7981]

You should do more with dark Vader please 🙏 I’m begging you He’s so much fun to watch.

[@evanhenderson1760]

I'm kinda waiting for Shack to realize the IPV is a hunter unit in this mod instead of being anti-fighter

[@lyinarbaeldeth2456]

I look forward to this every week! Even the frustrating parts :D

[@jigs-music823]

So recently in the non-big chungus map, I had a random few ground units suddenly end up in the northern section of the map by Jabim, so I just decided that that force ran into a strange hyperspace anomaly and now General Reiken is in the north alongside General Dodanna and Ackbar lol So I think I've also experienced this strange but sorta fun glitch

[@Kirkmaximus]

"When you lose track of your Super Star Destroyer. I can feel the face palms through the Force." And "Listen! Carrier Fisher is coming to murder us all! Get your sh!t together!!!" Comedy gold! Thank you Moff Shed.

[@shirralia]

About that battle over Bandomeer, it is owned by a minor neutral faction. They do not retreat. They fight to the death. Also a wonderful example of the weakness of Imperial doctrine. A few good fighter squadrons can peck an ISD to death because of its absolutely pitiful point defenses. And you really have no point defense ships in that fleet. Gladiators are pickets, which are mainly meant for taking out corvettes and frigates, not fighters. Even their fighter loadout is mostly optimized for hitting larger targets.

[@jacobhuot3056]

That fleet may not have much in the name of anti-fighter capabilities, but it has anti-capable fighters

[@SamuelJamesNary]

Imp Rep 58 - Confusion seems to remain the letter of the recent activity as a series of terrible and frightening reports have come in some areas, while in others, it has been complicated. The Rebels have been active in the core, and we have been unable to cut them off, particularly while forces are worried about the threat to Kuat. This has raised the pressures that we will be facing as that we will need to finish up the march through the next few Black Sun worlds and then swing north back toward the core to chase after the Rebels there and thus pinch Commenor on two sides. The other nervous news is that the Coporate Sector has struck at some of the worlds, or at least the orbit of them. This adds to the worries that came out of the last report... that came as a result of the main fleet being pulled off of its intended path. We've yet to get any definitive evidence as to what caused it. There are some added rumors that perhaps there was an ancient Sith or Jedi artifact of great power that influenced things. It wouldn't be something that would relate to the power of individual or training of that individual... and may have even been triggered by someone who didn't know any better. Lord Vader said that is possible, but that would then require a strange object being found, which so far has not been reported. It still adds to the frustration in that this odd occurrence has allowed the Corporate Sector to regain control of the space in that region, and once they realize our ground defenses there are week, General Veers will have an entirely new campaign to begin again. Thankfully, Captain Pellaeon has managed to brute force his way through to one of the Rebel held worlds in the region and brought General Veers up behind him. He's lost more of his escort ships, mostly due to running into a pirate fleet that came up behind him... but he was successful in securing orbit and allowing General Veers to make landings. He now has a clear path back to where he was before all of this started. General Veers reports some moderate manpower and material losses, citing that the Rebels managed to come out of the woods by surprise, but Imperial firepower has prevailed. Thankfully this success off-sets some the rest of the bad news that we've continued to get from other sectors of the galaxy. - Ensign Jaeger Meister. ISD Devastator 2.

[@BigSky5578]

Oohhh I never catch these this fresh

[@ericgunddlefinger4439]

I am playing the game with the mod for the first time today! But first, my 432 empire management class with proff shack.

[@mike180509]

Hey shack!! The corporate sector 100% sabotaged the hyperspace coordinates to send veers to the back and beyond and then paid all the local pirates and smugglers to harass and delay his return while they try retake there worlds!! my head cannon haha! Also an idea for the meta campaign. Could the large capital ships be owned by a battle group. Gives a sense of ownership without any individual player actually owning them, with battle groups collectively coming together to work out the best upgrades and modifications for their needs (could make some very unique and interesting variations). Players of that battle group could be “officers” on board, all with there own roles. Could even do a rank system from like captain down to say ensign based on overall merit from all campaigns (thinking of the long term future of the game). I'm not sure how you would grade it to be fair and balanced, but could definitely add an extra layer to the game.

[@OnyxheartWolf]

"Carrie Fisher's coming to murder us all, get your shit together!" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@danteinferno117]

It’s disappointing to see your negligence but truly befitting of an imperial officer.

[@TheFan2002]

5 minutes in, I have to remind myself that I watch shack for shack

[@fefarri1073]

"shack youre blind as a bat" and the ssd is over Centares

[@prabhav1788]

New AOTR :D

[@diamondq7s124]

I think the pirates and the rebels are working together against The Empire.

[@RevanX77]

"How should I use my Lancer today? I know, I'll leave it behind all my other ships, pointed away from the battle so that it can't attack anything. Perfect."

[@vander2976]

"It's really easy to find stuff in this" proceeds to scroll past ssd. 😂 never change captain

[@Sockosan]

The only thing I think Shack won’t misplace is a coffee cup…. Pooor ssd, where ever you are.

[@Lair_of_Adair]

I like it how Captain Pealleaon has the Chimera tattoo, but it does feel a bit odd. After all, that is a Thrawn thing.

[@predator70nc46]

these are light turbolasers on the ISD2 that Thrawn has....these wont do a big explosion on the ground...especially not when bombarding from far away. So theres little to nothing wrong with it in Rebels. u can btw see this in awakening of the rebellion...isd2 has octuple light turbolasers.

[@dareonmograin5136]

On Corellia you can build the same Corellian carrier (3 units)

[@anthonym598]

Great Video!

[@tridonFarstrider]

Shack, you are blind as a bat, Its in [XYZ] position.

[@toxicmight_9257]

i like that shack did not see the ssd on centares at plane site

[@gabrielr7511]

What if the different ship players had control over modules of a ship? Like player A controls a Sesor suite, And player B controls a weapons array, and before eadh campaign they can decide to combine their modules into a single ship and have it be like an artillery ship. But then the next campaign they can add in player C's hanger module and make it a Battle Carrier. Or split up completely and have a Scout ship and a Destroyer

[@honorless1719]

He "misplaces" ships, heros, vehicles etc on purpose to get more comments. It's smart

[@mrcrackerist]

I hope the AI gets a bit more aggressive its fun to see Shack on the back foot :P

[@generalstarcat9961]

26:25 it was probably for plot but my head canon/ science brain think: The Turbolaser bolts have to travel hundreds of kilometres to get to the atmosphere of the planet. Losing energy, in the atmosphere there’s a load more energy lost cus clouds and the air sap away the energy which then makes the Capital grade weapons downgraded to AT-AT laser cannons

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Glorious chaos

[@Shipprofile08]

Shack: Does anyone know where we parked our SSD? lol that has the same energy as someone coming up to me and asking where they parked their giant F-350 in a walmart parking lot!

[@Syco108]

The SSD is even in the closing shot

[@satansguard1]

You have the fleet at hoth

[@Thechannelthatexistsforcontent]

Rename the episode to “space battle after space battle”

[@deadman8428]

The SSD is right where you left it

[@Cheeseman_5]

Im already liking this

[@crabroll1681]

Hey Shack, I have no idea if this is a glitch or not, but at 4:55 on the history tab for economy. It says the rebels have 1.4 MILLION credits

[@brandoonmendoza1376]

You have 3 feet in the south use them

[@FunkThompson]

Is it just me, or do Lancers used by the AI do way better than when used by player? I swear, they chew my x-wings up even when massed, Shack's here barely managed to kill a couple squadrons.

[@kineuhansen8629]

as cool as the bombardment looked in rebels they would not have survived that even with a local shield with a hardly working shield generator becouse a single turbo laser shot have more power output then our own sun

[@tk-6967]

I am confused, why did you even bother with the detour through Dathomir and Bandomeer that cost you so many ships when you could have gone through Serenno's space to get to Toprawi?

[@ninjamasterbuilder8675]

Shack maybe it would be superior to take Kashyyyk with the SSD and take Mandalore before you go down south and take Hoth

[@catgath9718]

I think tractor seems don't work on fighters at attack speed. Too much momentum to mass. They also might not be target able woth the tractor beem at attack speeds.

[@assassinzakral7023]

Im starting to think someone needs to make a find my ship addon for shack

[@tonypringles2285]

are the table top players fighting each other? or is it all of them vs an ai enemy controlled by you?

[@Operative901]

Im hoping the rebellion wins ima be real, but your to good nerf shed

[@brickstocker4007]

Hi I carnt download this mod as I need to download the original Forces of Corruption and that's been taken off stream does anyone have any ideas on what I could do please 🙏

[@lucasbishop870]

Shack listen to me we need you to play the republic in the clone wars mod coming out ok i will pay top dollar to see that

[@blkspinosa1283]

We are never getting to Hoth huh

[@milamberpuc7059]

that one battle was painful to watch and still that fleet near Bespin is useless and also his biggest fleet

[@ironbloodangel4112]

Can i make a suggestion that could help with the Role of commander Shed why not give us a bit of romance with a another imperial adrimal just a suggestion love your series clone wars was good and rise of the rebellion was good but i prefer your empire series

[@aDeathbomb]

E

[@DreadTheMaximus]

2nd

[@PrinzEugen93]

would be kind of cool if there was Hero sniper for the rebellion that could snipe the crews of walkers like ATSTs and ATDPs and open them up to capture, don't know if that is possible in the empire at was engine but it would be pretty cool
