He didn't kinda lose anything. He was impacted by a bug interacting with a stupidly written quest mission. The fact that he's choosing to play through it is also dumb.

Shack, the KDY demand does not have to be done at Kuat itself. Basically, as long as you build the ships themselves it doesn't matter where.

[@jarensmiarowski5493]

Hey Shack, if you didn't know, if you build two shipyards of the same type (i.e. fighter shipyard) on the same planet, it reduces the build time of that ship type. So if you build two fighter shipyards at Yaga Minor you really can start pumping out defenders. Same goes for Kuat

[ Personal Log ] [ Reagel Felrin, 457th Imperial Tactical Squadron "Dagger", Flight Lead ] "Reassignment" The Razor's on her way to Yaga Minor. That rogue imperial admiral had managed to inflict massive casualties during the battle for Muunilist. Death Squadron, as a result, was called into action by shed to alleviate this new emergency. Parrel's brought us a few more bits of food sent here by his wife. Better than rations. Moran's stuff isn't that bad either, it's just that he simply lacks the ingredients out here. The 457th has been through around 14... 15 sorties now? I've lost count. This next northern campaign may give us four or even five more combat sorties. Looks like we're on our way to getting defenders.

Lieutenant Victoria Jensen’s log: Week 178 of the Galactic Civil War Aboard the Fear’s Embrace “Warlords and Traitors” It’s been a turbulent last few weeks. I came back from duties in the Mid Rim and found out a number of Imperial commanders and all their fleets had seceded from the Empire and become warlords. They’ve fortified a number of planets under Imperial control and harassed our own fleets. Moff Shed immediately moved to neutralize the traitors, and Saber Squadron was once again attached to the Fear’s Embrace to push through their fleets. Our first push was at Muunilinst, against some old commander and his fleet of mothballed ships and a pair of defected Star Destroyers. The Fear’s Embrace took immense damage during the fight, being harassed by all the ships they could throw at us, and we’re currently rushing to repair it before something catches us with our pants down. I’m currently typing this log in a storage room because my actual quarters were depressurized after the attack, and I’m waiting while damage control teams move to restore it. General Veers seemed to have a very personal investment in the Muunilinst campaign. Despite the colossal amount of vessels in orbit, their ground troops were few and far between. Veers led a charge of heavy armor through the capital city and wiped them out with minimal losses. They didn’t stand a chance. The rest of the week was spent smacking around criminal syndicates on Abregado-Rae, but I’m more focused on the traitors to the Empire. It would be foolish, naive, even, to assume the Empire wouldn’t have a few defectors, but it surprised me just how many so easily betrayed their oaths and for what? A life of raiding freighters and demanding tributes from backwater worlds? It's disgraceful, that what it is. The Empire is probably better off without those with such loose loyalties. I heard moff Shed is planning to take back Fondor from the Black Sun soon. I know for sure I want to be there for that.

[@orckingi1208]

I think you're right. Which means if he wants to get an Executor for free, he'll have to finish his current situation and then work his way south towards Hoth. Because I don't think he has any current fleets in the south that could take on Hoth, which is most likely well dug in.

The KDY Demand mission just wants you to build the company's ships. You don't need to build them at Kuat. As far as I know the the representative you get as a reward will always spawn there

[@enderlionheart4497]

Shack, 44:05 if you build a second Starfighter Shipyard, it will increase production speed by 50%. If you double up on any of the shipyards, it will increase production speed of the ships that shipyard builds by 50%. Another suggestion; put 2x Starfighter Shipyards on Adumar. Will build TIE Defenders @20% less cost and 50% faster.

Field Agent Log: Maj. [ERROR: Unauthorized Clearance] Imperial Intelligence Agent “Harbinger” So it seems Moff Shed has gotten himself into more trouble, and has called on Admiral Star to bail him out. Typical. Death Squadron moved up north to assist, reuniting the 1st Company of the 501st with the majority that was sent North to assist Shed. In other news, I’m afraid I’m short on good news. Recently, Agent Zealot came to get me and some troops from Death Squadron to reinforce Akroatis base located on the moon of [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] sector. Almost from the beginning, things began to go wrong. Once we began our landing, we can under fire from rebel infantry supported by mercenaries from the Wolfpack Mercenary Corps. Me, my squad, and Zealot managed to break through the rebel lines and infiltrated the base proper. We made it to the control room finding a rebel infiltration team with an Alliance Intelligence Agent known as Nightswan, as well as the Traitor Field Agent Heretic. Me and Zealot attempted to stop the rebel scum, however, they managed to use the bases long range relay dish that was used to communicate with the many undercover Agents across the galaxy, and used it to send a command order that terminated almost all of the Field Agents across the galaxy, using the biochips The Director had put in each Field Agent. My squad and I were spared, as we managed to discover and remove our chips during the Hapes campaign. As of now, the only remaining Agents, besides myself, is Agent Zealot, Agent Oracle, Agent Artisan, Agent Prophet, and Agent Architect. I need to figure out how we’re going to get out of this mess, as well as track down and eliminate the traitor Agent Heretic and this Agent Nightswan. Agent Harbinger, signing off. [END OF LOG]

501st Journal Week 178 - Scipio Sgt. Kale - Triton squad "Imperial Rebellion" As if one rebellion wasn't enough Shed's failure has caused the Empire a second. Naturally once again he underestimated his opponents and after an extremely costly battle at Munnilist, he begged Admiral Star to personally come and support him with Death Squadron. Understanding the opportunity to further strengthen his own influence over Shed, Star accepted. Triton and the rest of us will be reuniting with the majority of the 501st that initially left to help Shed. I wish it could be a happy reunion but with Triton squad's most recent battle, I'm anything but happy. During our clearing of the Roche asteroid belt, we received a message from Imperial Intelligence calling us to reinforce a secret imperial base that had been hit by rebels. It turned into a trap. The rebels ambushed us and scattered our forces as we hit the base. They wanted the base's long range relay dish used by Intelligence to communicate with their undercover field agents. The rebels captured it and, as I understand it, activated a secret command order that terminated the many agents across the galaxy. All stemming from some secret chip in their heads. Our friends in Harbinger squad were spared this fate as they had theirs removed after learning of their existence during the Hapes campaign. Sadly, the agents weren't the only ones lost to the rebel's treachery. Mari, my girlfriend, my one light in the darkness didn't make it... She was with us to help the wounded from the attack and during the battle while I was dueling the rebel commander Saul Nartha, dueling and losing that is, she saved my life. The rebel had me pinned and was beating me and she tried to stop him but he... he shot her down. It gave me the edge I needed to get free and he took off. She was my everything. Now she's gone. We took her body back to her home so she could be buried in peace. I'm going to find that rebel and make him pay for what he's done. Him and everyone that follows him. Nothing will stand in my way. I promise you Mari Revonah. I WILL avenge you. Even if it takes my very last breath. I swear it.

[@NP3GA]

Death squadron log: Slowing down is not usually something I enjoy, yet these days it has become something I greatly appreciate. Roche had to be cleaned up of remnants of the local rebel cell, hunting them through all those asteroids has been a delightful experience, some of us had problems with the tight turns, even tie fighters, I did not. Between that and the rankors and stations, our stay in the area seems like nothing out of the ordinary, and it would have been except for one thing, the news about the north. Hearing and seeing Shed just loosing ship after ship as his precious mini empire falls apart has been the highlight of the past few weeks. All the while we continue to claim and reclaim planets and systems. All in all, with the exception of lord Vader's continues absence, this has been a perfect month.

Personal Log Fleet Admiral Sigma, ISD Vesalius, Commander of the 5th Fleet Status: In orbit over Muunilinst The Vesalius and the 5th Fleet have arrived in orbit over the planet Munnilist shortly after the Belator Fleet and General Veers' army have recaptured the planet. It turns out that Grand Admiral Zaarin has turned traitor and has initiated a coup d'e'tat against the Empire. Five sectors of Moff Shacks territory had turned against the Empire and swore loyalty to Zaarin. My orders are simple: Find the traitors, bring them to justice and hunt down Grand Admiral Zaarins flagship the Imperial Star Destroyer Glory with orders to either capture or destroy, the former being preferable in order to Capture Zaarin. I have seen him a few times in holo-meetings with the Moffs and he was the most out spoken insisting that Grand Admiral Thrawn was dead. He seemed pretty angry learning that Thrawn was still alive and was planning to revive the Tie Defender project as Zaarin himself was trying to take control of the project himself. Grand Admiral Zaarin, before turning traitor, was the head of research and development for the Empires starfighter technology among them being the secretive Tie Avenger project. He is also a talented tactician, rumor has it he may be on par with Grand Admiral Thrawn. If that be the case, I'll have to be extremely careful because if he is as talented as it's reported, he can be a very dangerous man.

For the enemy being grey issue, I believe in the options there is a toggle for simplified faction colors which forces all enemy to be red and allies to be green, though it will do that to your galactic map as well, could be worth throwing on for the ground and turning off for the galactic until you are done with them.

Actions report 14: Commodore Turner, Imperial Venator “Enterprise” 226th defense fleet. Location: Fondor sector The invasion of Abregado-rae has finally began, with the few reinforcements sent to my fleet, I have slowly begun to regain influence within my powerbase, the battle itself was quick, with support from the 8th Imperial Army Artillery battalion, the pirates' defenses were overwhelmed and sent packing. Alongside that, one of the factories on planet had a pair of Naboo speeders in their production que, ones that I have now taken for the sake of preservation of an older time. Thankfully, with the support of my now dear captain, another ISD is being sent my way, the fleet more and more being replaced with newer vessels. Though, it does give me joy to hear that an Imperial breakaway in the North has caused Moff Shed issues, with his forces focused up north reclaiming his lost territory, it sure should be a sting on his career to not see his own people moving against him. For me now, I must gather the forces to reclaim my own powerbase, to ensure that if the Empire falls, these people will not be thrown to the wayside. Though, if all else fails, I'm sure Pentastar wouldn't mind a seasoned Commodore in their ranks for older vessels, if plans here fail and I have to ensure my peoples safety. This is Commodore Turner, signing off.

[@SamuelJamesNary]

Imp Rep 41 - Grand Admiral Zaarin's betrayal has gone deep, and his forces have been confirmed to be very well dug in. Commodore Shed took his force from Yaga Minor into Muunnilinst with him saying to the ISB officer monitoring him, "this is going to be easy." While he did not come across the Grand Admiral, himself, Shed did find a rather hefty fleet with two ISDs, two Victory Star Destroyers, and a host of assorted light craft. The fleet was clearly larger than what the Commodore expected and while he did win... he suffered heavy losses for it. One of the Empire's Venators, which should have been sent to either the Fleet Museum at Carida or the scrap yard years ago, was destroyed, along with two Victory Star Destroyers as well. From what has been reported, it would appear that Commodore Shed was completely shocked by how many had flocked to Grand Admiral Zaarin's rebellion. The victory, though, has opened options to isolate and liquidate Zaarin's forces... though Shed has also asked for Vader's fleet to reinforce him in the region. All of this would serve as a reminder to act fast when things are small. When the first whispers of Rebellion began between five to ten years ago, many military officials dismissed it as minor dissidents that would never pose a threat to the Empire. Raids and stolen equipment were routinely ignored... It eventually reached a point where elements of the Senate under Leia Organa seemed to almost openly support these rebels. But urges to move quickly and with force were largely ignored and by the time that major action was taken when the Rebels launched an all-out attack on the base at Scarif, it was too late. They destroyed the Death Star in the battles that followed and we're now facing a major war to put down a Rebellion that could have been crushed years ago. And now Shed has repeated that same line of idleness, letting Zaarin form his own mini-Empire in the galactic NW. The ground fight on Muunilinst, however, was far more successful, and while Zaarin's forces did activate some old Clone Wars factories, General Veers' AT-ATs were too much for them. The fighting was long, but much of this seemed to be more tracking the traitors down than anything else. There was additional good news from the SW part of the Core where the Byss Defense Fleet's operations against the Black Sun have secured our hold on Abregado-Rae. From the reports that came in, while the Black Sun had a decent sized ground force and it was decided to land massed artillery. The gunners took up a firing line below a ridge and were waiting for infantry to poke the forest line at the base of that ridge. Reports indicate that the Black Sun was already fighting something before the infantry gained sight on the Black Sun forces. They've yet to confirm if there was anything else there, but they do note that the Black Sun also quickly retreated. This could open a shot for the Byss Defense Fleet to move on to Fondor and deal with some of the other Black Sun installations in the area, though they are also waiting for additional ships to reinforce them. - Secretary Boss Mann, ISB.

Captain's Log Week 178 Scipio The last few weeks have been tragic. There have been gains against the warlords up north, Muunilist has been retaken, and Tanarithian troops run rampant across the various worlds they control. Meanwhile, Abregado Rae was retaken, and about time too. Nobody here in Death Squadron has cared about that. A few weeks back, my team and a couple other teams of 14th marksmen joined the 501st's first company, as well as Harbinger Squad, in a relief mission to an Intelligence station. Rogue and Saber Squadrons were back, and Nartha's men as well. Things couldn't have gone more wrong. The whole thing was a trap. Nartha's men held us in place while Harbinger and Zealot went inside the base to fight Heretic and someone named Nightswan. They activated something that got every other Imperial Intelligence agent across the galaxy killed. There are a few survivors, but they are the minority. Things got worse when Kale got Nartha's attention. The two got into a punching match, and Mari leaped in two save Kale when Nartha had him on the ground. For trying to save Kale, Nartha killed her. We fell back soon after the thing Nightswan did. When we returned, Lucius got an honor guard organized to bring Mari's body back to Koensayer. I was placed in command of it. She was buried with full honors. Everyone's been kriffed up with her gone. She was a ray of sunshine that helped bring balance to the group, someone to make it so everyone could get along.

I think that faction up in the north in TR is supposed to be Moff Ardus Kaine's, Pentastar Alignment. I'm doing a playthrough with the faction now after being away from Thrawn's Revenge for awhile, and I forgot how much I loved that mod. Love the content as always Shack!

Complete the misson, then you get a 15% discount for the Excut. Thats like a 20,000 credits saved!!!!

Private logs Thawn's missing, perfect timing for the warlord revolution With the gains against them however, I have nothing to report that hasn't been said across the galaxy, except for the Emperor's ultimatum against Shed "Prove you have this under control like you say, or risk demotion" Meanwhile, attacks against the intelligence network was made a few days ago, perhaps this, Facio, and the warlord rebellion are connected, I can work with what J have though, we're currently operating at 68.7 percent efficiency, so I'm requesting for more recruits However, a project I mentioned years ago is underway, I look forward to its completion to ravage the enemies of the Empire Currently, the 501st is coming, I look forward to meeting their commander in chief, with the absence of Lord Vader

[@admiral_pisces7935]

Moff's Log #41. Greetings Commander. It seems some of the southern Moff's have chosen to stand against Grand Admiral Thrawn and I. I need you to wipe out this revolt and return the shipyards to their functional level in order to reinstate Project Defender. I don't have to remind you of the importance of this project. I am putting in orders to relocate forces and funds to help retake the north. I am counting on you. I am needed back at ISB HQ. Moff Pisces out.

[@commanderthrawn511]

Hey Shack, several pieces of advice, which will make your advance smoother: 1) Kuat drive yards mission can be completed by buying ships through the galaxy, which are made by Kuat Drive yards, they do not have to build specifically on Kuat. So you can build executor on Kuat and complete the mission elsewhere. 2) if you built two Shipyards of any type on the same planet, you will be able to get 33% construction time reduction bonus on ships built, such as the tie defenders on Yaga Minor, wink wink 3) Do not select all units and order them to move at once, because they will move at the speed of the slowest unit available. 4) Regular At-At are against infantry only! If you want units against turrets, buildings and armor you need to buy AT-AT elite, which is the variant,which Veers uses. 5) don't loose me again, lol

[@datonkallandor8687]

If you like the mechanics and the logistics side, you should read the Wraith Squadron novels. Or really all the Aaron A Allston (RIP) novels - he wrote the best Star Wars fiction.

[@dominiconeil4693]

Okay, I know we meme on Shack for being unobservant or making other funny blunders, but to his credit, 25:19 was actually a pretty slick move; that's the type of thing I could see a star wars protagonist pulling to show off their tactical ability.

[@spencerpollock5688]

Don't forget to bring the captain pelleon

[@Rembanspellsong]

yes, Adumar is the planet with blaster swords. you make contact with the tip and it literally fires a low power blaster bolt into your opponent. Another weird thing about the planet is the standard tactic until General Antilles started to teach them better was for the entire squadron to find the pilot with the most kills and prestige (their scanners were tied into the planets database and all pilots recorded their kills as public info) and just try to kill him while basically ignoring the rest of the fighters. Using the local airframe (because Adumar had bombed itself back to the stone age more than once and was just barely getting back into space flight they didn't really have much more than jet fighters at the time) Wedge, Tycho, Janson, and Hobbie were able to wipe out entire squadrons in a matter of seconds in each of the mock battles they engaged in because of these poor tactics. a good tactic against them was to use false transponders, where someone with good evasive skills would ping as someone like wedge, the fighters would flock after him, this squadron mates would get multiple salvos off unopposed, the pilot would shake the locks which would take the targetting info off the screen and break los, change their transponder to someone with a low kill count, and suddenly Wedge would 'disappear' from the battle field.

[@kineuhansen8629]

thrawn is in the imperial remnant and that is arround in the middle i just did a thrawn revenge campaign

[@sammywhite5127]

Yes but Thrawn isn't the leader of the Imperial remnant until era 3 and it's probably best to start the campaign from era 1 in which case Thrawn would still be in the Empire Of The Hand and the faction in charge of the territory to the north would be the Pentastar Alignment

[@Sapherzz]

Shack you spend a lot of time focusing on enemy ship hulls, when the ships still have most of their systems online. It means you spend a lot of time trying to defeat each ship (even more so because you like to have each of your ships targeting different enemies, rather than bringing all of your fire power to bare on one target). Best thing to do is take out some of the secondary systems - they are weaker and easier to destroy - which will weaken the enemy hull strength overall. So when you come to focusing fire on the hull, you'll find its a lot easier to destroy, and your own ships are not getting railed by enemy fire throughout the process.

[@sadlerbw9]

I actually picked this game up recently in the Steam summer sale after watching Shack play it for so long. The common suggestion was to try playing the base game first to get the hang of things before jumping into the mods. Well, on my very first planetary invasion as the Rebels, I lost about five units of infantry to a single unit of TIE Maulers running them all over. I forgot how much stuff the modders have fixed/changed from the base game! I think I might actually try to find a mod that gets rid of running over infantry, because microing troop units to keep them from getting squished is not really the sort of challenge I was looking for.

[@jonpilif569]

I just started with the mods. I also picked it up not to long ago (a couple months I think) I have watched a lot of shack over time so I was used to the idea and basic controls but I started with mods and find it so much better. They fixed so much. So I would start with a small modded campaign. But either way it’s a great game and have a ton of fun playing it.

[@tophercaesar5375]

No the pentastar alliance starts in the north, thrawn starts in the west with the empire of the hand

[@nucleargandhi3759]

Would suck, but would also be a cool mechanic if it took some of the ships you had the area and gave them to the warlord faction. Would be really fun having to try to scramble to stop a rogue bellator causing chaos in the now wide open north. Would give off some black fleet crisis type feelings

[@Greenlightsaber1]

heeey, sooo, um, you had an ENTIRE fleet at Kuat.... you could have used them to reinforce the north, instead of removing a Blocking fleet from the REBELLION front lines, you KNOW there going to back line you if you don't send something over there to at least make it tougher. Perhaps the fleet at Kuat could come reinforce the system, they wouldn't be able to attack, but with the starbase reinforcements should be able to hold off the rebels untill you can bring back the main fleet.

[@crimedog8059]

Not sure if you will see this but, in the area where Shed is moff the era depends who is in control, eras 1 and 2 Shed would be with the “Pentastar Alignment” however in era 3 he would probably be with thrawn then he goes back to the PA

[@masongodofthegamez]

shed just got his new command vessel this ssd will bring true peace and security to the empire and i think it would be cool to see the shed story continued in thrawn's revenge you should play as the imperial remnant because you get more opinions and better story. shed was present at the battle of endor and survived then returned to Coruscant learns about the emperors ''death'' then is given orders to take command of remaining true imp forces and unite the empire to crush any traitor scum

Shack You have a tie-defender hero squadron you can add to the fleet down by Fondor you find the ace at Rallthr located near carida

[@gamboyroadrunner84]

you could blame the warlord for not sending a rescue response to get vader and let vader deal with them and shed would take all the credit

[@FaithfulMarbo]

Skako Minor has 4 companies of those hover tanks, dont forget!

[@lacedaemoniorum7439]

No it does not need to be at Kuat. You can do it at any time. Later in the other campaigns you get requests that need to be done on multiple planets. Also ISD3 are a nice fleet center. I would not spam them but they are great to build fleets around.

[@striker8696]

Shack a cool thing you could’ve gotten if you snuffed out the imperial rebellion early is that Victory 2 hero. In the battle where thrawn first appears he will surrender and change sides mid battle.

[@legendairenic6247]

In Thrawn's Revenge, Thrawn is in charge of the Empire of The Hand, not Pentastar (which is the warlord in the muuninlist sector after Endor). I wouldn't recommend playing as The Hand until the 3.5 version comes out. Right now, their space roster is up-to-date but their ground is severely outdated. 3.5 will hopefully bring an updated ground roster and the unique mechanics related to the faction. Lots of people saying this, play the Pentastar Alignment if you play TR.

[@andreacaramaschi9056]

You have already completed the KYD mission before, you don’t need to build the ships listed on Kuat only, you can do it on other planets too

[@nucleargandhi3759]

Thrawn doesn't start anywhere immediately in Thrawns revenge I believe. I think he just comes to the main imperial remnant after enough progression

[@Finalfox09]

you can build the ships anywhere. It would have told you to build it at Kuat not say Kuat ship drives, which is just the company.

[@jakewilson5418]

love the series, me and my brother watch every episode. Keep up the great effort you put into these :)

[@andreacaramaschi9056]

Shack build the other two tagge battlecruisers, they have a good fighter complement and also weapons that are effective against capitals and fighters while also being very tanky and relatively cheap

[@tkc1129]

Adumar gets a massive bonus to fighters. You should probably put your fighter production there. Also, no, you don't need to complete the mission at Kuat. You can build this stuff anywhere. KDY is also the name of the company. I thought you hated advanced TIEs, but here you are stacking up on the MOST advanced TIE. :-P

[@John-oh7st]

That last ground battle make the imperium of man proud

[@followerofthemantle3489]

Make sure you have a fleet of raiders/lancers before you build that Executor as its fleet cap is so high and its so powerful alongside it being so big, that fighters are the only worry you should have, so a full-blown anti-fighter fleet is a must.

[@seanrigsby4350]

Save the resources for the executor for another fleet! You have had to pull back and engage the north due to this traitor warlord, but you don't have to stop your attack south! It's time for a 3rd proper fleet. Instead of two and a half.

[@Halowars2enjoyer]

I like the idea of a new faction to fight that isn’t usually in the game, it makes the campaign much more fun

[@javiersavala2385]

41:14 Wait. Rendill can build tie defenders

[@ChrisVillagomez]

Honestly, the Emperor is just punishing Shed slowly for failing to rescue Vader. He might've organized that Moff turning purely to hurt Shed. GET VADER PLEASE

[@dreadwing01]

He won’t he has been ignoring the comments about it since his capture.

[@jaxxtheviking]

Once you get the executor the campaign is over lol I combined that with the ark hammer and wiped out the hapes pretty quickly as long as you don’t hyperspace into a bad spot

[@adarl5902]

Id love to see you continue your tabletop campaign with the eckscrew from 3 years ago

[@tjlnn22]

You can build those ships for the mission at any planet Shack, it doesn't need to be at Kuat specifically

[@shadetalon4918]

Cap you should turn adumar into ur star fighter production for the 20 percent price drop and rendili into a dreadnought facility since they are cheaper there!

[@ahappyparadox815]

The Executor is a nice look what I have piece, but Fear is more important. Also don't forget your 4 New Tanks on Skako Minor for ground forces.

[@lintrichards6007]

A Total War style game is possible for more modern settings, but rather than formations you would have "areas" where your units are in. When moving through terrain they would do something like Company of Heroes/Dawn of War and gather around cover.

[@Awsomonium]

You needed Tier 4 Fighter Tech to get Pellaeon and his Star Destroyer Chimaera. You wanted it for it's fleet bonus. I think you were going to build a new fleet around it maybe? EDIT: Though at this point, might be a good idea to give Pellaeon to the Northern fleet after the beating it just took while taking Muunilist.

[@TheOnlyBritishGuy]

Taking the fleet off of the roche asteroid belt was a bad move, leaves that area open and two bellators in one fleet is overkill. You have reinforcements at Kuat that you could have sent

[@TheBinkster]

MORE!! MORE!!! MORE VIDEOS ❤❤ loving this series more than the rebel one 😂 although shack > shed

[@skipper2285]

Major drawback when you match your play style to the "Big Chungus" map: You misplace units, you forget where to build things, you forget where you sent things, and you are so busy putting out the latest trendy forest fire that you don't notice the smaller fires ravaging your cornfields.

Beady was certain he was losing his mind at this point, "why are they sending us across literally the entire width of the galaxy?" he thought as he read the brief on the enemy's forces. Ties? Star Destroyers? _Victories?!_ First he sees hyperspace-capable Ties with shields and missiles, how he's _fighting_ Ties..? The galaxy really has gone mad. Or Beady has, which might be the scarier thought...

[@Kirkmaximus]

Shack has killed so many Imperials in his past campaigns; that the option to kill them as Imperials brings him great joy. However, he must resist trying the urge to "one up them" with bigger & bigger ships. Instead, it is wiser to reinforce up his current fleets to the north & south. Then create a fast fleet to hold his gains to the east. If not, I'm afraid that Sheds work to expand will all be in vain...

[@Kenneth_A_H]

I'd cancel the executor complete the isd 1 and 4 broadsides and get the 15% discount when we re-order the executor

[@JimmyBobGandalf]

Officially, you don't need to produce at Kuat for KDY Demand - heck, even last time when this came up, I don't think you used Kuat for any of the production requirements. That said, the 15% price discount you get for completing the mission would also apply to the construction costs of the Executor, meaning that it might be worth halting that production anyway to secure a hefty price cut in SSD production once you're no longer on the clock.

[@JimmyBobGandalf]

Whilst I'm here - for the record, I still think that it's stupid that you lost the north because of a wandering freighter triggering the mission, but you've provided an entertaining alternative narrative reason for losing the sector, and one of the main reasons I enjoy watching your campaigns is for the story you create (would love to see compilation videos of all the story monologues from your various campaigns if you ever find some spare time), so I'm happy to watch you retake it a second time... so long as Thrawn can eventually be recruited - if he were to be defeated in battle, then tragically so be it, but I would REALLY hate to lose such a significant hero to the stray Gozanti that you have no control over whatsoever.

[@MacerXGP]

Man you really wanna start taking better notes about what you have and what youre trying to do, I couldnt get by without it when i was playing Galactic Civilizations

[@craigdavies4682]

Executor is a lot of fun, an yea if you are utterly reckless you can loose it. It sucks up so much of your fleet cap its a little hard to defend and lacks the fighter punch gained from a 'vanilla' fleet. I found that the double pop cap mod allows you to deploy the SSD and a respectable support fleet. If you can find any other shipyard just build one ISD
