Haha, I really appreciated that

I was thinking the same you can never read to much into 👍

Isn’t that the mission statement of your channel?

Star Wars isn’t fake I’m here

Galactic Republic For the Republic soldier!

How to fix the star destroyer: Stick a US Navy CIWS system on it and it would work incredibly well.

Intelligent well thought out ship designs! It seems like it should be a super power sometimes! At least the ISDs had toilets! I think it's the effect of the intelligence draining effect the dark side has on Sith Lords. I mean, who the hell would approve a ship with just TIEs for point defense! I thought they studied a little to get that Dark Lord certification and admission to the Guild! (I think all future Dark Lords need to study Peter Anspach's list - if you haven't read it: 1) where have you been hiding & 2) search the author name, or article name 'Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Became An Evil Overlord). Most other franchises like BSG realized you needed a wall of protection BESIDES fighters. Visually, it would look great on the big screen (if done right and not just an orgy of projectiles), but it would significantly reduce the chance of damage to a capital ship... Ehhhh... oh well.... C'est la vie. (Yes, it's the Americanized version meaning 'Such is Life', instead of the original French which is more properly translated as 'This is the Life).

Point defence was WORKING...but not on the MCs and PIS. BTW - CIWS is bullshit. Easy to jam and die...

@@k1sfd1974 To be fair, good TIE pilots, few in number though they were, absolutely destroyed rebel fighters/pilots. Besides, the design and intention for TIEs need to be taken into account.

Flak

What will they do? Stop a little B wing? Pffft, shove an extra battery of turbolasers or something useful on. Like a super laser

*Grand Moff Tarkin Liked that* *General Tagge Disliked that* *Admiral Motti Loved that*

Crocfighter .132 actually star destroyers were targeted most by star fighters because of their lack of point defense

@@josietherat135 he's making fun of that fact

JOSIE THE RAT thats the joke...

Damn right!! Thrawn was/is nightmare fuel for rebels

I mean thrawn had several interdiction divices that he took from grisks... He used it once as a missile when he was fighting 5 ISDs at once.

Sounds like a very useful weapon

That was my exact first thought lol If you can pack an interdiction device into a mine or missile, then why would you even bother with interdiction cruisers?

But muh tarkin doctrine!

-1 am for me

@@vts0361 how the fuck did you get a notification at negative 1 am?

Why would Tarkin not approve? The greatest fear for enemys or criminals is that they can not run away and or hide, when a ISD shows up.

@@nichtvorhanden5928 Because Tarkin does not like making sensible decisions.

@@caav56 For me the theory behind the Tarkin Doctrin work pretty well. The only failure was the whole Death Star thing because it is sensless to promise security and build a planet killer weapon.

Well seeing as he used the Death Star to blow up a possibly just as effective alternative aka the Empire’s hyper space tracking research just to kill some rebels and a guy he hated...

@@Hartzilla2007 I wrote about the theory not the execution of the theory.

Ahhh yes.... Plot Armor... the thickest and most robust form of armor ever created or even conceived in though. Many, many good men and women have been saved due to fortuitous placement of plot armor. On the flip side, plot armor seems to be random at times and given to fail at the worst possible moment for the character (but best possible moment to add tension to a story). GO, GO Plot Armor! 😏😉 Enjoy the conference Eck! I'm planning on watching some of the E3 Live Stream starting at 11am. Thanks for the content! ✌🏼

Or evem better: arrogance. I absolutely hate arrogance as an explanation, since it's basically just another way of saying "stupidity" from a narrative standpoint. The Death Star should have had an escort fleet and CAP of TIEs, but why did it go in alone? Arrogance. Arrogance works on a personal level (i.e. Tarkin's refusal to evacuate) since its a character trait, but institutions should be somewhat more rational. I know arrogance can be baked into practices and policies, but in storytelling basic competence should be expected from villains.

Sean Lehning no, the resources for other ships were diverted to the death star

I bet kuat didn't do build more for the empire because they wanted more orders for ISD's

For a short while it would work, once someone circulates evidence of the empire deliberately placing citizens in danger, people would definitely rebel but they'd also attack the rebellion.

@@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser That's the same reason Imperial Germany sunk the Lusitania back in WW1. It will cause a lot of animosity toward the enemy because the public doesn't know weapons were on the civilian ships. It could cause rebellions but if a good propaganda campaign is run, that might not be such a problem.

because the rebels would just get on those convoys and deliver a load of proton bombs into the hanger?

Also it could be different technological strengths. IIRC the Hapans are portrayed as lagging a bit behind in turbolaser technology.

Interdiction only seems to effect hyperspace

Agreed, if a GravWell Mine pops up on screen, it's immediately the priority target.

Not flying in a straight line would have greatly helped the Resistance in episode 8.

@@shadowslayer205 having a commander who didn't seem stoned out of her mind at all times would have helped the resistance in ep 8. as well as making a random jump. as well as having your pilots know to make random jumps before entering hostile systems AND after leaving them so they would have never been found due to ep 7

@@shadowslayer205 I'm not defending the movie... but I would like to point out that any maneuver you make in such a situation will allow your pursuer to cut the corner and get closer to you... so you'd be wasting any speed advantage you had on these maneuvers, and just hasten your demise.

Basically a matter of who fired first. Also of whether the covenant energy projector would actually damage him or just feed him thanks to the radiation. If it's Godzilla earth, he also has a shield that took a hundred or so nukes no problem (when he was still smaller). Unless I'm misremembering the anime. Not watching it again if I am, lolol. Sounds like fairly even odds overall, since the ccs could fire from orbit well before being spotted. But any return fire from the stupid o.p. atomic breath would be a problem for the ship.

Its 2 am for me didn't expect a video at this time lol

Rocket-powered seismic charges

@@blobfish_plays6548 yee that too

MACs won’t help against star fighters that much, star fighters can run

Kyber-powered weaponry doesn’t help if you don’t have point defence

Megamasers fail for the same reason, as they seem to be anti capital ship

It was in the X-Wing Novel "Wraith Squadron". The "Empion mines" (EMP + Ion) were created by an rogue Imperial faction and used as a static trap to drag escaping ships out of hyperspace and disable them, whilst also calling for help. After one character comes up with what the mine would likely be comprised of, another character summarises it as: "...a bomb that detects hyperspace arrivals, puts out a gravitational pulse to bring them out of hyperspace prematurely, and then hits them with both ion pulse and electromagnetic pulse."

@@yik-xianghue7249 That's the one.

the difference between a normal mine, and an interdiction mine is that the interdiction mine isn't gonna kill anyone. just keep whoever's there from running away

@@jamesm783 Anti-tamper mechanisms, self destructs to prevent the Rebel Alliance from grabbing them, using them against you. How do you keep your weapon, in your control, so you don't allow them, the Alliance, to get them and use them against you. That's the part Eck didn't mention and seems to never mention.

@@LionofCaliban It would be pretty straightforward. The anti-tamper device would have an IFF transponder. Recovery ship gets close and broadcasts an interrogation signal for that ships interdiction missiles. The interrogation signal, if correct, triggers the anti-tamper devices IFF transponder to hash the interrogation signal with its serial number and transmits it back. The recovery ship knows which interdiction missiles were fired and will now know which interdiction missile they are near. They can then transmit the correct disarm code to the anti-tamper device and it will disarm itself. The missile can then be brought aboard and refurbished. If the anti-tamper device receives an incorrect interrogation signal, it can be set before launch to either not respond or respond with a fake serial number hash. The former would be used if the missiles were being used somewhere with lots of debris. Having the transponder not respond would make them harder for the rebels to physically locate after a battle. The latter would be used when in relatively clear space where the most basic of scans will pick up the missile. In that case, the fake serial number hash would warn the Imperial recovery ship that the missile it is looking to recover belongs to another ship. The rebels will have no way to tell a fake hash from a real one and will continue to waste time trying to disarm the missile. If enough bad attempts are made, the missile self destructs to prevent capture.

@@Crosshair84 And you've just stepped upped the complexity of the device. You've just made sure that you've need to test, the devices can accept the acceleration and remain functional. Not only that, you've just made sure that the chain of logistics around this device is that much more vulnerable, you need to not only protect the device, you need to protect the systems to talk to the devices. Then, those codes have to be protected, make sure that they don't get into Rebel hands. All it takes it is one leak, you've got to reset your entire system, because once you work out the formula used to spit out the hash key, then you can start to generate them yourself. So..... yeah, not really. Doesn't quite work like that. Also, it's a way for the Rebels to get explosives. Sure, you need to survive, but if you're there, find a couple of these, you can make some pretty good bombs. Especially if they only arm under very set conditions. If they don't and are otherwise armed, meaning to approach them is that much harder. That's the point of mines, after all. Area denial.

@@LionofCaliban "And you've just stepped upped the complexity of the device. You've just made sure that you've need to test, the devices can accept the acceleration and remain functional. " Why? This is off-the-shelf tech. This is a universe where they have hyperdrives, inertial dampers, artificial gravity, and repulsorlifts. Making sure stuff doesn't turn to paste when it accelerates would be pretty easy. "Not only that, you've just made sure that the chain of logistics around this device is that much more vulnerable, you need to not only protect the device, you need to protect the systems to talk to the devices. " Why? This is off-the-shelf tech. Capture all the IFF transponders you want. Without the correct programming, they're useless. "Then, those codes have to be protected, make sure that they don't get into Rebel hands." That's pretty easy to do, given that I specifically mention that each interrogation signal is ship specific and changed every time they are used. To the point that a recovery vessel from one ship could not recover the missiles from another. It would be generated onboard and changed every time the missiles were used. You'd have to infiltrate the ship, grab the codes, escape without being noticed, get back to friendlies, launch an attack, get them to launch their interdiction missiles, win the fight, THEN go recover the interdiction missiles with the stolen codes. It would be easier to just steal the plans for them and build them yourself. "All it takes it is one leak, you've got to reset your entire system, because once you work out the formula used to spit out the hash key, then you can start to generate them yourself. " No you can't. 1) You need the serial number of the individual interdiction missile to generate the hash. 2) The disarm code is independent from the hash anyway. 3) That's not how hashing works. Hashing and encryption ASSUMES that the formula will be known by an attacker. The formula for Twofish is freely available. It won't do you any good in defeating it. "So..... yeah, not really. Doesn't quite work like that. " it actually does. "Also, it's a way for the Rebels to get explosives. Sure, you need to survive, but if you're there, find a couple of these, you can make some pretty good bombs. Especially if they only arm under very set conditions. " You are confused about the purpose of an anti-tamper device in this case. These aren't bombs, where an anti-tamper device would simply detonate the explosive filler. All the anti-tamper device is intended to do here is prevent the capture of the interdiction missile. All that would be needed is a few demolition charges next to critical components. You might have a dozen hand-grenades worth of explosives, at most, in each interdiction missile. Capturing interdiction missiles for the purpose of harvesting explosives would be like invading Wisconsin so you can get free cheese. Not worth it at all. "If they don't and are otherwise armed, meaning to approach them is that much harder. That's the point of mines, after all. Area denial." An interdiction missile wouldn't have enough explosives to damage anything bigger than a TIE fighter. You only care about destroying the critical components of the interdiction field generator to prevent capture.

The EmpIon mines! IBM glad someone else remembered these!

@@razgriz501 Oh, it was the FIRST thing I thought of when he started talking... starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Empion_mine

Saw this AFTER I made my own comment about the Empion Mines. :p ("Wraith Squadron" is my all-time favorite EU book - read it at least two dozen times.)

Be more specific. At which stage is the flood infestation? Are the Reapers already there when the infection breaks out? In which universe does it happen, Mass Effect or Halo? I'm guessing the factions in said universe aren't present in your scenario, but does the flood have their tech? This kind of thing matters.

"They also have to fire their own equally large missles."

To be fair, no one could have expected a Gammorean to rampage through the ship hip-firing an anti-ship weapon.

JayMike Villanueva Actually, an even better option would be to build a bunch of corvettes and frigates.

@@bkjeong4302 Enhanced and modernized cruisers and frigates armed with interdictor mines and missiles, equipped with better starfighters for deadlier swarm tactics, and have Class One hyperdrives. The Tarkin Doctrine was stupidity and arrogance at their finest.

JayMike Villanueva Yeah that sort of massed light warship attack would be better.

@@bkjeong4302 That and wolpack tactics. What is needed are dedicated warship squadrons and taskforces designed to hunt Rebels. What also would make them efficient is if they work closely with Imperial Intelligence and special forces units.

Totally different animals... True they both use the term Gunship, but that's like asking armed Blackhawk vs Apache... Really LAAT vs Valkyire would be a better fit.

@@jamesharrington001 Ok

They can flee from us, But not from death!

Better idea. Make sabotage droids that attach to star fighters like buzz droids. Only instead of buzz droids make them the size of bullets.

@@marrqi7wini54 Buzz droids are already small enough that starfighters can deploy them via missile.

@@shadowslayer205 Understood they are a good size but I personally would want something that an R unit in a starfighter couldn't easily deal with and where one missed machine can reek mayhem on the enemy.
