It feels like that scene in Interstellar when he almost accidentally discovers the ship in the dockyard but then turns around to engage the Star destroyers 😭
I just finished a campaign doing the exact same thing (to my best ability) Rooster is doing, and man the challenge was real, kudos to you for putting up with it for us rooster
Congratulations on winning the battle of endor commander! And now for some post op analysis and cheese strats that you could’ve used…… The entire battle is EXTREMELY RIGGED in your favour, and the biggest threat really isn’t the ambushing imperial fleet, but the Death Star laser beam, because the imperial fleet will never move out of position outside of some targeting turnings, meaning there’s a super cheesy Strat of putting all your capital ships on the bottom right corner (on the right side of where the imperial fleet will jump in from) and force the star destroyers to fight you broadside and piecemeal, you can point all your cannons at their sides and back while they’re basically just using their starboards exclusively, so you can easily bomb the shields of the ISDs and SSD without needing to do a crazy deep bombing run, and the early wave of imperial ties are a joke you can melt with rouge squadron on a strike mission, or just plain old X-wings. After that its just business as usual, bomb all shields and hangers and you won’t need to micro much For ultimate cheese Home one actually cannot be targeted by the death star because it needs to move to the designated location for the “get in close” objective, use the boost shield ability and trigger it the moment it becomes available by placing it near the SSD (it can also soak up a LOT of damage). You just need Lando and Rouge squadron for the death star run, so you can place them near the marker before the imperial fleet even springs their ambush (or just rush them after you murder all their fighters, lando is on the falcon and Rouge squadron can close S-foils for speed), so the moment you get the “Death Star bombing run” objective they’ll go in and trigger the check to disable the Death Star, all this speed leads at most 4-5 capital ships being targeted by the big beam of laser, afterwards it gets disabled because it’s under attack, although unfortunately you also lose access to Lando and rouge (but by that point you’ve practically won) You can then easily blow up the SSD even without Green leader, although it’s only for a bunch of extra credits and honestly in late game it’s not worth much, just throw him in if you get impatient or don’t want to lose an important ship…… Speaking of important ships, DO NOT bring any big hero ship outside of Akbar because the death star can and will target anyone who commands something bigger than a corvette, and you can’t revive any non-major heroes so my recommendation is straight up keep them out the fight, and use your replaceable swarm stacks instead. The ai isn’t dumb and will deliberately target all your heroes first because they give out buffs, and all imperial ships like to target heroes as well, so don’t lose your minor heroes in this bloodbath, they are far more useful later on than to die via Death Star. The heroes you can safely bring in without immediately dying are your fighter aces and corvette captains, with those fighter and corvette buffs all your fighters become even better and MC30s can get in close to DELETE star destroyer hulls Again congratulations on the victory and long live the New republic! And speaking of which…… now you have full access to **taxes and mines**…… the credits must flow…… the Mediator awaits….. Bonus New republic rundown! Because in the last vid I told you the NR sucks, this might not be the fact for your specific mod of AOTR, but in general everything is just a lot more expensive, but you do get some good income sources, as you’re basically on par with the empire on available economic structures. Our version of a local imperial government building is the NR tax building, and we can build your usual ground mines on certain planets that provide 300 credits per week (which you can also stack with prior existing supply depot income modifiers + NR tax building), all in all a few planets in the outer rim can make over 2000 credits per week on their own with the right combo of buildings, this will fuel your war machine greatly, and trust me you’ll need every bit you can get……. NR ships and ground vehicles are some of the strongest and most mobile in the game, while some aren’t designed with much health, they usually pack a LOT of firepower, and some ships are incredibly specialised for shield removal or pure fire power I honestly recommend rushing the space tech because those ships makes NR so much more different than a usual MC80 playstyle, the fighter death swarm stays effective though (H-wings are just Y-wings on steroids), and without the new ships you can get outclassed or out gunned quick because after NR even minor factions all wake up and start attacking indiscriminately (meaning Hutts, Hapans & Corsec), plus your usual mid-late game black sun problem, an strong and unbeatable fleet is almost a necessity. Also after you get the techs you can finally build one of the most important and precious ships for the NR, your own interdictors (3 is the limit), they are a necessity if you want to completely wipe out enemy fleets, and you’ll want to do that either for scrap money or just plain old good murder, the ai will go crazy starting now, and you need to stabilise and counterattack before the late game ISD deathstacks come for you…… And also if you have the tech and the credits, a very expensive ship will become available to start building, it’ll take almost 20 minutes of real time to finish (about 2 technologies worth) so I recommend starting asap…… because with it you can finally stand up against an SSD toe to toe, and it’s finally the imperials who are outgunned…… It’s time to “Mediate” some conflicts
Thank you, Paco! I'll respond to each paragraph individually. That is a crazy strategy. I would have never thought to cheese the Empire by positioning the fleet near the hyperspace lane. Incredible! Will consider the next time I play AOTR. Ha, that's one way to win the battle ASAP. Wow, using proper positioning with the Endor battle seems absolutely critical. Well done figuring that out about Home One's shielding, too! I didn't even get to "command" Green leader to jump in; he just went, haha! That was awesome. Yeah, that credit bonus seems pretty unnecessary at this point. TIme for the New Republic Oh, that sounds so good. I'm so excited for the New Republic. Since the last time I played AOTR a while ago, it seems that the NR had a slight adjustment, which makes me even more excited. Yes, I did notice that things are a bit more expensive. So, I'll make sure to work on the income modifiers and bonsues and well as I can. Please be sure to keep these pointers coming in the future episodes! Wait. Even in RebelSim, the Hutts, CSA, and Hapes all wake up? I thought, for whatever reason, in my campaign, they just stayed dormant. If they do, I'm in for a rude awakening, haha. Throughout the second-half of this episode, Dave seems to have gone MAD. He is way more aggressive than before. You're right. The AI is definitely angry now. Oh, I'm so eager for my own supership. I cannot wait to see what it's like. Thank you so much for your many tips. I'll be sure to log the Endor ones for the future and "hone in" on the New Republic suggestions. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you bro for your videos! Even though it’s a small channel (for now) you have so much potential and I get really excited when I get a pop up about your new video. Wish you all the best from Kazakhstan ❤🇰🇿
Wow, Kazaasda, I’m so grateful for your support and superchat! It means a lot that you're enjoying the series, and it’s awesome to hear that my videos get you excited. Viewers like you truly make this channel a joy to run. Sending you all the best from the US, and thank you for the well wishes!
I’d like to imagine Vader just was not present during the battle of Endor. When Palpatine taunts Luke into trying to kill him, Vader isn’t there to stop his lightsaber thus the emperor dies anticlimactically right there.
@@SeeRoosterGaming The Battle of Bakura also canonically happened right after Endor, too, so soon thereafter that the New Republic had not even been officially formed yet. The Destroyer also has a special ability that cancels out an enemy Interdictor field, allowing your fleet to escape certain otherwise unfortunate predicaments...
36:10 Plot twist-that’s not Vader, that’s Dave. Turns out he’s been Palpatine’s stooge from the very start, even during the Clone Wars, and is now rushing you to consolidate his power. …that or there was a glitch involved.
This playthrough specifically finally inspired me to get off my butt and get to work on my pre-Yavin X-wing book and I suppose its only fitting THE MAIN EVENT gets uploaded right after I've had a brilliant plot idea lmao
That sounds incredible. A pre-Yavin X-Wing book? Count me in! I’d love to read it when it’s out, so definitely keep us all posted. I'm really glad the series is inspiring you to work on it!
doing rough math because I don't know exactly how many fighters are in each squadron (5 for x wings, 3 for y wings, and more i don't know) the Rebel losses of the SISD (Super Imperial Star Destroyer) battle are a ceiling of 500 men with the number probably being closer to 350, while the empire would have lost hundreds of thousands. the SISD had a crew of "at least 280k" -wookipedia, as well as many tens of thousands of storm troopers, tens of thousands of tie pilots, tens of thousands of other personal, tens of thousands of walkers, speeders, guns, and more war supplies. All in all, its reasonable to say that the empire would have lost close to a half a million military personal as well as enough military resources to fund a full scale, multi planet offensive against a conventional military of equal size. -all at the cost of less than 500 inexperienced rebels that were not military trained and were flying in cheep snub fighters. If this kind of lose were to happen in real life, it would be grounds to end the entire conflict. It would be the Yorktown, Cannae, or Thermopylae in Star Wars except even more impressive.
Actually it is pronounced super star destroyer The imperial part is left out. Because super Star destroyers predate the empire hell even the clone wars with the mandator one. And it would be hardly grounds to end the conflict considering they had 50 dreadnoughts.
@TK_1529 1st, I was wrong about the "Imperial" before Super Star Destoryer. Thanks for pointing that out. 2nd, I said irl, it would be grounds to end the war, but not necessarily in starwars. Now, I am of the opinion that if the empire was controlled by rational, normal people, they would definitely try to make peace negotiations after something like this (or the deathstar). However, with the empire controlled by Palpatine and his plan, the war would have continued.
19:05 for anyone wanting to play a game where one person person side plays an rts and the others play a FPS play natural selection 2, it's often on sale
Should be called. "I've never played a real time strategy game please help." Haven't face palmed so many times since I last watched a little league's game. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Just a bit of critique, take it how you will: almost as important for vocal entertainment like lets playing as talking is knowing when not to. You can stop to breathe. The story mission the modders worked hard on is actually quite good, but you talked over almost everything, including the text, making me try to both read the dialogue and also listen to your commentary at the same time.
