How to FIX IMPERIAL FLEETS (...while keeping the Star Destroyer) | Star Wars Lore 

Today's video features some new music by the artist Unfound. I'd like to make music more prominent in my videos, but I still consider myself new at video making, so I don't want to mix the audio with the music being too loud. It's louder in this video, and could probably be even louder. Let me know your thoughts. Links to the included music, and Unfound's Bandcamp: Unfound -- Without: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqOlh...

How to fix Imperial fleets in 30 seconds or less. "Tarkin, you're fired. Thrawn, you're in charge now."

How to troll your enemies: 1: take some Nebulon Bs 2: put all the armour and shields on the middle bit 3: watch the enemy fail at destroying them while you blow them up

New playlist idea “Eck fixes everything”

Scenario: You are the admiral of an Imperial fleet assigned to conquer the heavily fortified Mon Cala system, you must break through the rebel defenses and protect a planetary invasion force. Your fleet cannot be larger than Death Squadron at Endor, but you have your pick if whatever ships the Empire had outside of the Eclipse class. What ships would you choose and how would you use them? (Third attempt) #AskEck

1) Field TIE Defenders. 2) Field TIE Defenders. 3) Field TIE Defenders. 4) Field TIE Defenders. 5) Just blasted field TIE Defenders instead of wasting credits on a death ball.

"Let's talk about Corvettes" Star Wars Empire At War: *TARTAN PATROL CRUISER REPORTING*

Empire: So guys looks like were facing a rebel insurgency Tarkin: How about we invest trillions into ridiculously large ships and a death laser in space that can be destroyed by a single starfighter? Empire: Sir...... Your a genius

So glad you used some clone wars ships even if in small numbers . They are my personal favourites.

Somehow this heavily reminds me of japanese lack of destroyers and antisub means during WWII which made US subs so successful...

#AskEck Did the Rebel Alliance ever use Battle Droids?

Excellent choice to add the Venator, nicely thought through, Admiral.

I think the exclusion of Venetors is one of the greatest flaws in Imperial fleet makeups. The Quasar seems like a cheaper alternative to what at one point was classified as a capital-ship class vessel but honestly, an Imperial fleet made up of two Venetors for every ISD would much more succinctly question even large Rebel fleets, due to star fighter numbers alone. Another issue that would supremely fix Imperial superiority and escort fleets is a complete revamp of their star fighters. The entire dogma of “bigger is better” is the reason Imperial fleets are so inferior to even a comparable CIS fleet. Tactical ommand capabilities asside, I’d much rather have a Lucrehulk with a small CIS support fleet over any standard Imperial fleet exlusively for the fighter superiority. The ARC-170s were big and bulky but a multi-purpose ship like that seems right up the Imperial alley. Light bombing, anti-dog fighting (rear mounted cannons), highly specialised recon, and the capability to traverse hyper-space make them one of the objectively best fighters in my opinion. I also think the strange lack of corvettes and other smaller ships is important. Your inclusion of Raiders is an idea I’ve always wondered about since BF2. With (small) hangars and the absolutely disgusting amount of anti-fighter weapons seems like the perfect make up of a lightning strike ship. Having an entire superiority fleet pop up will stop anything from moving forward and the ability ot launch a large squadron of anti-fighter ships close to the enemy would make Thrawn-like maneuvers easy for any Imperial officer.

Wonderful video as always! I still wish the Empire kept the Venator, my favourite ship, but I do understand why they didn’t (both in and out of universe). The Empire is such an amazing force, and I really wish that they were done justice in the universe!

Just wanna share the standard Imperial fleet I always had in my mind, fairly cheap but flexible enough imo 1 Star Destroyer as the flagship 2-4 Arquitens Cruisers as the main support ships because they have a balanced mix between turbo lasers and point defense cannons while also carrying 3-10 star fighters along with torpedo tubes depending on the variant Around 4-6 Raider II Corvettes because they're great corvettes and served their role well 1 Gladiator as the main carrier. The official stats says that it can only carry around 24 fighters but this is most likely an uneducated guess considering it's literally 600 meters long and 126 meters high. Also the fact that it's inside is nearly 99% hangar it makes the official count of 24 starfighter seem like a typo, maybe it was meant to be 240? Metanerdz Lore has done a breakdown on how many starfighter it can actually carry so I'll take his guess of around 220 starfighters(not considering the ceiling mounted TIE-Fighter racks which could easily double or triple this number) a much more acceptable amount of fighter compliment 1 Interdictor Class Star Destroyer for obvious reasons I tried to make it as small as possible since we see most of the time that Star Destroyers often travel alone or just in groups of 3 so I hope this would explain why I used so few ships If I have to go even smaller then I'll go with 1 Star Destroyer as the flagship 3 Arquitens cruisers as anti-everything but capital ships. This will be pushing the capabilities of my cruisers but hey, they have 8 point defense cannons, 8 light turbo lasers, 4 missile tubes and 3-10 starfighter you can't go more cheap and versatile than that especially for a light cruiser 2 Raider II corvettes, I feel like I'm stretching it by adding this two corvettes but if I can this will definitely be great ships to have in my fleet

I would replace the CR-92s and 2 of the Raider corvettes with Tartan-class patrol cruisers and the 2 Nebulon-b frigates with a couple of Arquetins light cruisers.

#askeck Could you do a series on this with every fleet please? Love your videos and keep up the good work!

*There's no Imperial fleet without good old star destroyers*

I feel that the Victory/Victoria-class SDs and the Venadors are criminally under-rated.

I know I'm extra late to this, but any fleet that involves one or more Venators is good enough for me. They might not be the best ship, but I think they're very underrated and are very useful when placed with other ships. Plus, like you said, they are a carrier too, I doubt you could fit any AT-ATs within them, but once again, as you mentioned, this job would likely be given to the ISD instead and would allow the Venator to carry fighters instead and a lot of them at that, plus with a seemingly easy to access hangar, they'd be easy to deploy and easy to land into incase they needed to retreat. Though their defence capability isn't as good as the ISD, I feel it would still give any opponent a good fight.

HEY! I just used your superiority Imperial fleet design in the Empire at War Remake Mod, and I was able to DECIMATE a rebel fleet within 2 minutes as compared to 10 minutes. :)

I fully agree with your fleet. Though I might occasionally replace the Carracks with either Strike class or Dreadnaught class cruisers. Or most likely varying between the three, Carracks being the more common of the three but I feel the other two could from time to time take its place

Me looking at this video's way to fix the navy: _this is brilliant_ but I prefer this. Take your favorite blue boy with a 300IQ count, clone it, spread it and Voila! (sure it those not "fix" the navy in term of ship but I feel like most ship are fine it's just how they're used in a wrong way.)

An Empire set in galaxy with hundreds of billions of stars would be impossible to control or defend since it would be impossible to find and destroy any rebellion, especially if there is so much place to hide and you only have a few hundred thousand ships at your disposal.

Eckharts: Hey guys I put out a new video Audience: cool Eckharts: There’s a Venator in the thumbnail Audience: HOLY SHIT PLAY IT RIGHT NOW

Love going back through these older videos for the Eck doctrine.

The acclemator isn't that ugly, it's just the bridge that ruins the look. It looks like that sentient Pixar Light

Designer: "So, how do you want the basic design?" Emperor: "It could definitively use a stupidly big bridge with no other support systems". Warlords: "Great idea, we should also make the point defense systems non existent and also the Starfighters should resemble one use suicide crafts". Emperor: "Yes, yes, Dark side aprroves." Designer: Poker face. 😐

I quite like the acclamator. Outside of that I like this fleet comp for sure. I also can see 2 Venators escorting a ISD. Also since the empire used droids, guarding key planets they could have kept the lukrahulks to be essentially planet guarding mobile space stations.

Dunno if you had done this but would love to see a sort of series of fixing fleets for every faction since, other than the rebels, almost all the time factions composed their fleets poorly. (Republic with their "3 Venators for all", CIS munificent spam, Empire ISD spam, etc). It also helps to give a better understanding of how to build fleets for EaW.

Vs matchup Sgt. Johnson(Halo) vs Captain Rex(Star Wars)

What about the Imperial strike -class cruiser? It is also sometimes referred to as the imperial strike cruiser. These were meant to be both cheap and modular, while supporting at least 2 squadrons of fighters. Fast and capable of taking on most capital ships except ISDs (where you might need 2-3). The only real downside is that the ship itself looks like an elongated white poo. But poo aesthetic aside... its a good ship. And what about dreadnaughts, especially for the support fleet? They are old, but sturdy and cheap!

I would personally also add Tartan class patrol cruisers. Wookieepedia states that they were as armed and armored as a Lancer, but about as fast as a Carrack. They've only really appeared in Empire at War, so I have no idea if they're still even canon or not. Great video though, keep it up!

My Fleet or Flotilla task force composition would consist of: 1 ISD, 1 Interdictor, 1 Victory class, 1 Venator, 6 Raider Corvettes

I think, that you could maybe even downscale it further, because the imp. Fleets always had the higher firepower until the later phase of the rebellion( and some excuses here and there). I think you could make the Victory Star Destroyer the capital Ship of the Fleet and put some ISD‘s in strategic/key locations from where they could quickly reinforce the smaller Fleets with the Victorys, because the empire always dictated capital Ship size. Also replace the Tie fighter of possible.

Tarkin has disliked the video.

This is fantastic. Also, could you direct a SW film battle? yes.

Great video also here are some ideas Unsc Inifinty vs Uss Enterprise Master Chief vs Samus Aran Samus Aran Vs Darth Vader

I think having the venator in the rear is a great way to cover the isd as ties didnt have hyper drives so it makes sense that ties would deploy from the venator to cover the isd as it's ties would be deployed after creating a swarm

Might not be a bad idea to strip the turbo lasers off the Venator and replace them with more laser cannons. That way it can provide extra anti-fighter defense towards the fleets vulnerable rear.

Assuming I can refit the ships to have a similar hyperdrive rate and sunlight speed, I would do 1 ISD, 1 victory, and one venator as my core, a pair of interdictors as support, and a pair of quasars as support, 4 nebulon B, and fill the rest of the complement with raiders and cr90s. For small craft, the quasars would be assigned wings of gunships, the ISD would be assigned its standard endor complement as to include interceptors and bombers and the venator would be assigned a wing of arc 170s, a wing of defenders and the standard ties to fill out the rest.

Step 1,... REMOVE PLOT ARMOR!!!

Strike Cruisers and Escort Carriers, the ECs were almost as fast as a Quasar but had more hanger space, and Strike Cruisers were some of the faster strike craft in the Imperial Navy and packed some serious firepower for their size.

It would be nice if there was an Imperial remodeled/upgraded Venator. In other words, something that looks more imperial.

Good episode! Nice Imperial fleet formation. You’re strong with the Dark Side....

The perfect fleet is simply the Eclipse II equipped with a plot armor jamming system :)

I've always asked myself a similar question to this video, and I must say that I really agree with your choices for support craft, except for the Nebulon-B frigates. Honestly, they feel way too out-of-place, and I would much rather trade both them and your CR-95s in for another Enforcer/Vindicator. All-in-all, awesome video! I'm really surprised at how similar our doctrines are for fleet-building.

I think, if the acclamator was reoutfitted with a ton of laser cannons and targeting computers, it would be a very competent anti-fighter ship. Pair three of these with a couple arquitens, a wing of tie defenders escorting, and maybe an interdictor waiting in the wings, and you have a pretty good quick-response force whenever small hotspots of rebel activity show up

Damn, the empire should have hired this man, he seems to be an actual General!

Your fleet composition is good, Ecks, but I'll go a little further than your idea. If I were to create a usable battle fleet that's used for general purpose operations centering around an ISD, it'd be this: 1 ISD (Mark II model) 3 Victory SDs 2 Venator SDs 6 Vindicator Heavy Cruisers 1 Interdictor Cruiser 8 Carrack Cruisers 4 Imperial Raider II-Class 5 Heavy Nebulon Cruisers All fightercraft will be shielded TIE interceptors and Howlrunners (this is an improvement over the TIE l/n models), Skipray blastboats, and TIE Defenders. If a ground invasion is needed, I think the following ships can be included if needed. I believe these should be under the control of the Imperial Army and have a say on ground operations when needed. A small flotilla of Imperial Army ships ought to be based on Army-controlled starbases keyed to certain sectors where they're best needed. This way, it'll free up the Imperial Navy to do more deep space operations, increase starfighter and tactical bomber capacity. An Army flotilla is under the command of a colonel or a brigadier general if a larger force is needed while starbases can be under the command of a high general. 4-12 Acclamator Class 3-4 Venator SDs 2-3 Victory SDs (Mark I models only) 6-12 Imperial Raider IIs 12-16 Marauder Corvettes (for special forces insertions) Is this overkill? Yes but a fleet like this can counter the Rebellion with a combination of speed, flexibility, and overwhelming brute force.

Imagine worrying about tactics or fleet composition, instead of sending 10 big space doritos to solve the problem

You my dude...just made the perfect fleet. Makes me think of our navy today...like...the venator is the perfect aircraft carrier and the smaller ships are destroyers...and of course...the ISD is the perfect battleship/destroyer

The Tarkin Doctine. Such an ineffective strategy. The Empire would have benefited greatly without it.

The gunboats should work. Heck, assault transports / Escort Transports can be turned into killers if you remove their carry capacity (basically go the same way Soviets turned Mi-8 frame into Mi-24). They were always the worst opponent in X-Wing/TIE series :) Also... Rework the ISD to use fully the hull volume. Reduce crew by more automation, instead triple the hangar capacity (I mean a comparatively tiny Nimitz class carrier can carry 90 planes...)

No Arquitens ? I think they may be good support ship that could fulfil both anti capital ships and anti fighters. Put some Ion cannons and anti fighters gun, and you have a nice ship against pirates and rebells.

Ideally in empire at war I try to keep three ISD's at least with a equal number of Victory class and sometimes a Acclamator will find it's way in the formation but with a couple lancers and carrack's in support and at least 10 Ton- falk escort carriers. Strike cruisers are also very effective I find for capital ship support. So I keep many smaller support ships and carriers in reserve as reinforcements as well if possible. But the key is yes have effective powerful ships but screened and supported by the smaller vessels and overwhelm with endless fighters while bombers take out the enemy capital ship strong points as the enemy line begins to open up to your assault.

Wassup eck Love your vids I have a question: What do you think is the best role in the Clone army? #AskEck

I like how he took 6 Raider class corvettes. Because every corvette can carry 2 fighters meaning that you have an additional squadron just on the corvettes

Aclomaters are the LITERAL GOATS, some of the fastest hyperdrives, Insanely good weaponry, & you can easily switch out their massive troop carrying capabilities for fighters or cargo, & the cherry on top is that they only take 720 crewmen

Why the Enforcer rather than the Vindicator?

Good video. I like the ISD and Raiders, but I think I would substitute the Strike-class cruiser for the others. Configure two for carrier duty and one for anti-capship duty, and you have a flexible, formidable fleet.

9:30 "She was built in Republic times, held together by bits of bind" "We're waiting for the day, waiting for the day! Waiting for the day that we get our pay"

The rogue squadron quote we both like does not say the lancer is fast, it just says that it is fast for it's size

"how to fix imperial fleets" so I got this new idea, we kamikaze our ships against the consortium, then we initiate Operation Bullet Hell and rebuild the fleet, using all our pop cap to build broadsides and tartan patrol cruisers.

Hey Eckharts ladder! I thought your video was really good and your ideas would definitely improve imperial fleets as a whole. Some ideas I had in my opinion though would be to use the Home One MC80 as the capital ship of my fleet and to include Arquitens light cruisers instead of the Nebulon B. I would make these choices because I saw your factions compared where you discussed the MC80 and in my opinion the Arquitens is just a bit more sturdy and more practical. That’s just my opinion but I really really enjoyed your video. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!

#ASKECK Can you do the Gray Paladins from coruscant nights? They're a Jedi faction that used blasters and other weapons one was so good that she was able to send one of her own bolts straight up an enemy's blaster barrel. They also believed in using the force as little as possible so they focused on other skills like martial arts and military tactics like guerrilla warfare, urban tactics, espionage, and infiltration.

I love this idea, one big ship surrounded by little ships

the acclamator is perfect for loads of reasons, i bet it'd be super cheap to refit them with more turbolasers and or hangers bays where the LAATs would normally go, they're decently strong in comparison to pretty much all corvettes and the nebulon B without any mods too, hell if there was loads from the clone wars you could even refit them for different roles to compliment eachother, one for the rear of the formation that disgorges as many ships as it can squeeze in, a couple fitted with turbolaser batteries all over it for heavy fire and a couple with more anti fighter and missile capabilities to finish it off, that on its own would probably contend with most rebels fleets unless larger mon cala ships got involved

Love your content eck keep it up

Nice. For Superiority I usually go with 2 ISD I or II, 2 Victory's I or II, 3 Tartan Patrol, and round it out with either 2 Nebulon B2's or Strike Cruisers... It works incredibly well in many Empire at War mods. Now, if I have Vader, well then I try to recreate his fleet from Empire, with his Executor, plus 6 ISD's, 2 Victory's, and then a few anti-fighter craft for good measure...

I like your solution! I think it’s very well balanced, and greatly complements the ISDs strengths. The one thing I would add would be missile and torpedo launchers to the Venator, so that it could provide additional fire-support. Edit: I’d also add at least 4 VT-49 Decimators and a few Vigil corvettes.

I think that the Rendili StarDrive light corvette, or Imperial Customs Frigate, is an under-utilized starship that would be great for escort duties. Used almost entirely by the Imperial Customs Bureau, it had firepower and speed, the forked prow designed to hold light freighters for easier inspection with tractor beam projectors and sensors built in so that the Marines would know what they were walking into. When the ICB was folded into the Navy the admirals didn't know what to make of it, which is a waste. Mission specific modules could be fitted into the gap between the prows, making the light corvette very versatile. It could serve as a torpedo gunboat, troop carrier, picket carrier (holding up to 8 TIE fighters, or similar craft), or even a medical/EVA retrieval ship. A number of these ships, perhaps supported by a Venator to carry the modules, could cover any number of mission profiles. With a standard crew of less than 60, I think they'd make for a superior support ship over the Raider-class. My information is based on the WEG Star Wars RPG from the late '80's and some fan edits I saw on Pinterest.

to me, adding 2 Venator's and 10 Quasar's would drastically increase their fleet capabilities a trio of Victories and Acclimator's for support and land invasion/cargo transport raider's and CR92's for anti-fighter capability along with Lancer and Carrek ship's to support and for other option's, an interdictor with Nebulon B's in escort to help my fleet if anything, I would like to upgrade any if not all of these ship's to be better suited for flexibility and combat

My fleet would include ships based off of the GAR, along with several ISD's for fire power, & some CR-90 Corvettes for the fact that you can have it customized for just about anything, like pocket carriers. I would also have some nebulon-b's and K-wing's to act as extra support. However I won't have any CIS ship's because then they would suffer from EMP's that my enemy may have, as seen in the episode "Zillo Beast" From the clone wars TV show.

Weird you didn't include much the gladiator star destroyer... 🤔 They were designed specifically for ISD support.

I’ve always said if I was in Star Wars, I would be in the rebellion. I would want to be the man in charge of a CR-92, being war focused, but also good with diplomatic missions. DREAM JOB

Another situation where the X-wing/tie fighter games got it right. Rarely in that game were you even deployed by an ISD. The first half of game you deployed by an Nebulon B2 frigate. For much of the game you see very few ISDs. A lot of frigates, corvettes and strike cruisers. I believe you see more Victory star destroys than ISDs

Easy just redesign everything to make the reasonable and terrifying.

Read the Imperial Sourcebook for the old WEG Star Wars RPG. It has complete break downs of fleets and ground units for the army as well.

Well, my ideal fleet would be one death star. And a priest on it to pray they don't run into a space-wizard.

Not sure how I stumbled across this but I know that "back in the day" I'd often craft my fleets with two major considerations in mind going beyond role: hyperdrive rating and sublight speed. If you're trying to keep a fleet together in Star Wars then having a class 1 hyperdrive when the other ships are class 2 doesn't help much unless you're supposed to arrive before the rest of the fleet. Depending on what sources you used a rapid reaction fleet would all have the class 1 hyperdrive so it could quickly get to where it needed to be Sublight speed is the other consideration as you do want your major combat ships to keep up with each other. I'd be less concerned about the speed of support ships like escort carriers who can still be helpful despite not being in the thick of things. One ship I think is missing in this video is the Imperial Strike Cruiser. Back in the day it was a workhorse ship that could easily keep up with an ISD even if it didn't have the firepower, capacity, durability, or cost but could be used on other capacities.

I'm particularly fond of Gladiators, they are kinda light on turbolasers but they have respectable point defense lasers and stronk af anti capital ship missiles. Their light carrying capacity of starfighters is fine because they can augment the ISD and Quasar Fire's fighters wherever they are needed. Also, don't forget that Gozanti cruisers can be great for light escort duties for freighters but they are far too slow for superiority fleets.

Why wouldn't you use a DP20 over the CR90?? Especially if you were using your corvettes for anti- starfighter screening??? #askeck

I would drop the Enforcer for two more Carracks, two more Nebulon-Bs, and a quartet of Arquitens. You'll need to screen your Venator, ESPECIALLY if it is hanging back. Assign two Arquitens and two Nebulon-Bs to defend the Venator. Position your Raiders as a picket/scout force, with CR-90s closer in. The two remaining Nebulons would take position midway to the ISD, with the Carracks and Arquitens closer aboard. Conversely, you could also create a flying wedge ahead of you.

The main issue with the isd is that it is a ship of the line meant to fight other capital ships. Its best used along side other star destroyers(even if they are victory) with a few support ships. The standard 3 isd fleet we see is actually very vell set up for what it was designed for. The best fix I think would be to add a venator or two to provide bomber support as well as fighter screens. The isd hangers should be only used for air to ground transport and defense. A few corvettes and frigates are also good for screening fighters and pursuing the smaller rebel ships. A fleet like that could be used to hold down a small system with the help of smaller planetary fleets based more around carriers like the quasar.

#AskEck *Attempt 572* Can you please do the Forerunners vs Warhammer 40k factions. Just listen to the fans. We're kinda tired of lore videos.

I never considered the idea of Venators as part of the imperial fleet. It sounds awesome.

Random admiral: versatility is a key to victory! Fire power isn't everything! Malos Vrykan: ahem-ahem. Same admiral: on the other hand, only cucks would deny the inevitable: fire power is superior to everything.

Eckhart, How about having a slightly modified ISD as command ship (more TL moved to ventral side + additional CIWS type mounts). I like the idea of the Venator, but as you said, a CVE (escort carrier) of an Acclamator would probably be better here(smaller, more nimble)… reduce TL to 8 instead of 12 + CIWS LC in those locations. A Vindicator heavy cruiser for the 3rd capital ship. 4 DP-20 gunships. 3 Marauder corvettes. 2 Nebulon-B. 1 Carrack. For escort fleet, I’d do 1 Gladiator as flagship. 1 Arquitens light cruiser. 1 Nebulon-B. 3 CR-92a corvettes. 4 DP-20 gunships. 2 GAT-12 Blastboats.

Fleet’s and space tactics are the video’s I am hunting right now and I am again excited to find myself watching an Eckhart video.

ISD with 2 Victory II. Each Vic with 2 Carracks and 1 Enforcer. 2 Venator each with 4 Lancers. Each Venator replaces 1/4 of its fighters with gunships. All the fighters on the ISD are space superiority fighters. 19 capital ships total.

I think in terms of anti-capital ship support the Arquitens is great, we see in rebels that a couple of them can throw off a fleet of blockade runners, which I mean if THE blockade runner can't run a blockade of them then that says a lot. I think serving a role of picking off the smaller support ships while the ISD focuses down their capital ship would work well, every second the star destroyer isn't shooting the enemies main ship is another second for them to gain advantage.

For the most part I agree with your choices. Though I might also include a Pelta class as a fuel / supply ship.

To truly fix the Imperial fleet, you would have to do more than just re-organize capital ships; you would have to do something about the Empire's fighters as well. I would replace the TIE/LN with the TIE Hunter (a more versatile ship that was specifically designed to counter the X-Wing) and replace the TIE/SA Bomber with the TIE Scimitar, which seems to be designed to fill a similar fighter-bomber role to that of the Y-Wing.

If we are on a budget and want an ISD II as the point of a vee/wedge shaped formation fleet, I would prefer to have the following from Thrawn's Revenge: 1 ISD Mk II - Anti-Capital Ship Duty/Tank that draws all the aggro serving as the point of the formation in order to serve its noble purpose as Turbolaser soak and all round enemy damage sponge...hey its big enough to draw a lot of attention to itself so why not use that to our advantage? 2+ Pairs of Dreadnaught Class Cruisers - Anti-frigate/corvette duty/Fire-support (stationed behind and to either side of the ISD II 2+ Pairs of Carrack Cruisers - Anti-shield duty/Fire-support 4+ Pairs of Lancer "Frigates" - Anti-starfighter picket ship stays behind ISD and "Dreadnaught" "Cruisers" 4-8 Ton-Falk Class Escort Carriers - Early Game TIE Swarms Launch Duty (all the way in the back of the fleet formation as far from the actual fight as possible) or as many TIE Defenders as possible...Replace Escort Carriers with as many T/Ds as fits within your budget as soon as possible...

on one of your other videos you mentioned about republic artillery being fitted onto venators... if the empire did that with the venators complimenting the ISD's then they could seriously wound mon cala sheilds in a short time if fighters were kept off them and the other anti-capital ships

never get tired of that intro XD

Honestly I would have added a couple of Arquitens Class Light Cruisers to the fleet along with a few Gozanti Class ships as well.

I heard an interesting argument for why Star Destroyers are so ridiculously designed. Star Wars canonically has 1970s future tech, their sensors were relatively bad and even less reliable in battles due to jamming and ion weapons, meaning that these big bridges are necessary to see what’s going on in a battle. Shield bubbles are stupid though

We’re fully aware of how Palpatine wanted to remove the memories of the past, the Jedi & the Old Republic. Hence, I wouldn’t go with the Old Republic’s version of the Venator, just a different redesign of the bridge, engines, & the removal of the side hangars. Same with the Acclamators, bridge, engines, & it’ll keep what made this ship work & such.
