Why the TECTOR STAR DESTROYER is my favorite Star Wars ship! 

DId you guys use some voice clips from Battlefront 2 (2006)? I swear I heard some nostalgia in there.

They have imported sound clips from Star Wars battlefront and Star Wars Galactic battlegrounds I am definitely hearing imperial / republic Boat noises If you don’t know what galactic battlegrounds is it’s basically age of empire except it’s Star Wars

If I’m right I think they removed the longer firing distance the Praetor’s guns had in 2.1 which did hurt it a good bit from the bit of 2.2 I’ve played. That sort of artillery like role it had made fill a quite useful role in a fleet as instead of spamming smaller capital ships like the ISD you could throw a Praetor in and focus on a more varied and flexible support fleet to back it up.

There's actually no reason for buffing Praetor II. They were sort of upgraded Praetor I, which was build under Ruusan reformation limits, so it was tanky, but lacked a lot of firepower and speed

A true battleship

Definitely, with Acclamator being in Tech Level 1 now, I think that should not be too difficult!

Just take the page from the US Navy’s playbook 😉.

Tectors are good anti capital/space station but no fighter and low point defence is definitely a big weakness

Of course. A fleet is one strong unit, and ships shouldn’t be operating alone. Using effective combinations of Carriers to accompany the tectors would make them devastating.

Ah, the Victor. Easily my favourite Star Destroyer. Far more practical than the ISD.

What about the victory II, the poor man's equivalent to the Imperial?

Well the empire wanted to occupy most planets and having a rickety 30 year old acclamator deliver the troops defeats their fear doctrine

@@stablernose7203 Then make a big troop transport that's black and covered in skulls, I don't care. I mean, I can ALMOST see it making sense with the empire, since their ships were acting more as platforms for the occupation of planets than as ships fighting a real war, and there weren't really any ships that could challenge an ISD in a straight up fight. But they should have ditched the ground forces when they had any expectation that they might be going into battle with a decently armed foe. And the Republic really has no excuse. There is no reason that those venators needed to be packed with ground troops and armored vehicles while engaging enemy ships. Just imagine how much more effective these ships would be if they swapped out all the tanks and landing barges in their hangers for more fighters.

@@stablernose7203 It had nothing to do with the age of the ships and everything to do with the Emperor not wanting ANYTHING to remind people of the Republic when they thought of the Empire. To that end every single thing that did was disposed of as fast as possible even though all of it could have been used for decades to come. He throws away and replaces an entire military in just a couple years in order to achieve this.

I agree. Destroyers are not meant to be equipped with such equipment. In a combination with carriers, a tector would be an amazing asset.

For instance, how am I gonna stop a big mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer is it's a gun, and if that don't work, use more gun

Thanks for the kind words! - Charlie

Yeah that's mine

@@EcksToo I thought that was your voice on the Pelta support ship. Very cool.

Thank you pal, means a lot! - Charlie

What I meant to say was Imperium

Flood

Yes

Yup

ru6en Which is exactly the point. The venators and secutor are better as carriers than warships. The Tector is a pure destroyer; accompanied by Venators and secutor, the ship would be extremely effective at offensive operations. No ship should ever move without escort. The fact that each ship is specialized makes a fleet much more versatile and offers more tactical options. The Tector doesn’t need any kind of fighter support, because there’s already ships to do that for him, and it brings firepower Venators/Secutors/Victory’s could never bring. It only became useless in the imperial era, because the empire didn’t make much use of carriers.

I do not mind the changes on first impression. It will be exciting to use these new changes with potential new maps that allows to source large amounts of income safely. - Charlie
