Hey guys, sorry for the re-upload from the second channel, I’ve had a lot going on today but I still wanted to get you guys some content that you may not have seen before. I know this isn’t what a lot of you subscribed for, so I do mean my apology, and I won’t be making a habit of this. I’ve also turned off all ads for this video, so I won’t be making any money, but you guys will have the content if you’re interested.

#AskEck Could the Empire win the Galactic Civil War if they never had the Tarkin Doctrine?

@noda2322 4 года назад

Probably

@Julian-pw5mv 3 года назад

Well probably, but the empire would have been far less stable. There would be small rebellions everywhere which the empire would probably defeat. But do you really want to fight your population 24/7.

@toby1061 3 года назад

Julian But the Rebellion would be less likely to appear since the Tarkin Doctrine is based on fear and that caused people to rise up, before the tar king doctrine the Empire was more like a Dictator running the republic and most people liked it , but without things like the Death Star, slavery would not be used to planets like Kashyyk and other slave planets would also be less likely to rebel. The empire would probably end up suing Victory IIs, Dreadnaught cruisers and Arquitens so they would definitely have a better fleet to combat rebel tactics.

@Julian-pw5mv 3 года назад

@@toby1061 slavery wasnt part of the tarkin doctrine, the empire wouldnt suddenly be nice. What you are describing is what would happen if thrawn was emperor. He isn't. Slavery would still be a thing, palpatine felt slavery was an essential part of a sith empire and would be used to construct ships. Secondly people would still be oppressed by a large millitary, that wasnt part of the tarkib doctrine either, that was also palpatines idea. So I see no reason why people wouldn't rise up, just because the ships and vehicles look less scary doesnt mean people think the empire is nice. Also there was no before the tsrkin doctrine, the tarkin doctrine was adopted immediately. And most people didn't like it, most people in the core liked it, because they didnt get exploited for resources, butbwere being made richer instead.

@toby1061 3 года назад

Julian The Tarkin Doctrine started things like the Death Star which are the projects the Empire used slavery on. This means without the Tarkin doctrine, the Empires military doctrine wouldn’t be based around fear, before the Tarkin Doctrine, the Empire was a lot better than it was in the original trilogies, the worst they did was conquer planets, but the ones that lived under the Empire were a lot better off before the Tarkin Doctrine.

@casbot71 4 года назад

With the Thrawn's pincer strategy, there should be a game mod that makes it so you have to use interdiction to be that accurate in jumps. So that players aren't getting the advantages of that tactic without putting in the effort. Basically unless interdicted, all ships come in on random vectors even if they have spotter ships

@morriganlefay5438 Год назад

I've been trying for years to get into this game and I just kept bouncing off, I'd get overwhelmed, I'd feel like I had no idea what I was doing in ship to ship combat, and now it's finally clicked. I started using the tactics from this video in an Empire of the Hand campaign and it feels great. I sent my fleet to basically raid every world in the Eriadu system, blocked off all hyperspace routes out of the system and started building up ground forces with the production facilities I'd been building on the planet's I'd conquered from them earlier. There was nowhere they could run that I couldn't chase them down and destroy them, Thrawn just had them by the throat in this whole sector and was slowly squeezing tighter and tighter. I finally felt like an Imperial admiral executing their master plan and it's all thanks to this vid starting me down that road.

@TheArklyte 4 года назад

#AskEck What is more usefull in Star Wars: 1)refine tactical jump technology and practices and continue using classical SW plasma "lasers" with their crazy power output; 2)switch to less developed in SW lore weapon types such as magnetic accelerators and proper beam weaponry; 3)go for highest cost in terms of both production and logistics options that combines power and damage output, but will drown your econome - dedicated proper carriers instead of battlecarriers and higher focus on ordnance like missiles and bombs? Assuming you have resources(and somehow also capability) to make any of the 3 work. But only one.

Currently enjoying building full fleets, jumping into a system, sitting at the edge of the system with my Interdictor on, and letting them come to me. I'll admit that I'm a better naval RTS player than I am army RTS.

Didnt Thrawn make some tactics that is like what General Grievous did at the end of Clone Wars? Like jumping with a small fleet at Kuat and taking out the shipyard there and jumping on to the next system that is poorly defended

@chrisinstasis7986 3 года назад

"hit and fade". Classic Star Wars, in my head. Been carrying out those missions since jumping into my first Y wing back in the 90s. Briefing "Y wings from red squadron will pop up out of hyperspace, destroy any containers and freighters. You will escape should any enemy warships arrive"

@jpq0721 3 года назад

My favorite mod is EAW remake and my favorite tactic I use for that is essentially blitzkrieg, I would have massive fleets protect key planets while I take smaller fleets to lure enemy fleets away from the planets Im intending to attack. Those tactics are good with offense but I suck at defense because I leave the planets that aren’t on the frontline completely underdefended. When that happens I send 3 other fleets to 3 other planets to trick the ai into going back and defending them than I’ll send a fleet back to the planet I lost and retake it while in turn taking 2 or 3 other planets behind it

@saltykrug Год назад

I always ran Lancers since they did a decent job of negating enemy fighters. Without knowing Thrawn's strat on them, I ran 1 per ISD just because it made common sense to have 1 fighter screening vessel per large ship. I'd probably put 4 on a really large SSD. They're cheap and do their job really well. Just have to make sure to have them covered from being killed by cruisers and destroyer sized vessels.

Halo video videa What if the UNSC had never researched the spartan 2 or mjolnir programs. However one month after first contact with the covenant the UNSC INFINITY and her escort fleet of Autumn class cruisers appear at earth through a wormhole. The ships are fully operational and have manuals detailing how all ship systems, such as shielding and more advanced slipsace, operate and also how to build them for other ships. However it does not have the spartan 4s. How does this affect the human covenant war? Does humanity win or lose? #askeck

#AskEck I was wondering about the topic about "The Force Dictates whoever wins or loses". What do you think if one of the new Directors for a Star Wars movie introduced a new Force Power that Reprograms "Force Dictates the Balance Who Wins or Loses" that was been discovered by a new character who isn't from the Jedi Order, the Darkside Villain managed to crack it open and used it on a protagonist or someone like Rey for example? (Like have the villain used that force power and reprogramming the factors into dictating Rey is going to lose every battle she fought when she's a Jedi Master after the fall of the First Order happened) By the way, I hope your toe gets better soon.

@philipchurch8772 4 года назад

I think that’s what Palpatine did in the late Republic era. The Jedi felt that the dark side was in ascendancy and their powers were diminishing. I think a big part of how effective that was had to do with tricking the Jedi into being complicit in their own fall, like the immoral use of slave clones for the war.

@DigiPen92 4 года назад

Philip Church I don't think Palpatine used that similar force powers that reprogramming dictating the Jedi to lose. Palpatine was manipulating the entire Republic so that the time has come to use the mind chips on the clones to activate Order 66 to kill the Jedi Order since that was his plan to gain an Empire.
