Hi

Agreed

Yes it is

My thoughts too. I’ve upped his channel on my playlist, umm, list.

Ramming is just the fastest way of getting a ship(s) out of the picture for a situation.. It would take a considerable amount of time for ships of similar & smaller scale hammering a mile long heavily armored & shielded starship with cannons & “small” yield explosives otherwise.. Most times in films & books it’s used to clear the way for the heroes to escape or hit something vital or give the good guys breathing room, while showcasing the dangerous environment (as seen in the movies) Ramming is a very real & acceptable move of desperation, heroic sacrifice or tactical maneuvering if your ship is strong enough to survive it. (As seen in real life).. Now some of the effects of the ramming is over played like the A-wing knocking the Executor to its death but it’s served the purpose of explaining how after the DS-2 & the Executor were destroyed both Rebel & Empire “quickly” quit the battle to lick their wounds. Were the Executor still alive it would of been able to rally the fleet to continue the fight on Endor.

I’m sure it will happen eventually.. Just need a Star war story that’s tell the story of two Admirals who hunt each other down with orders to capture or kill or something. Sure it will take a lot of CGI to show some good turbo exchanges & ship damage.

Dont forget star killet pulled one out of the sky

@@ravager2-636 Or Piett seeing the battle is over, calls for a retreat as the Executor was still the attention of the Rebel Fleet.

@@Battleship009 very possible, would of cost Piett his command if not his life if he arrived in imperial space with the Executor & the remnant of Death Squadron claiming defeat & not avenging the emperor. (Since no Rebel force ever stood up to a Dreadnaught & 25+ISD before, at the time) Commander Gherant his XO wanted to engage the rebel fleet instead of just blocking it as Piett was ordered too.. Yet with the Executors powerful batteries & most of the Death Squadron ISDs still operational (at the time due to Ackbar’s order to focus fire on Executor) freeing the ISDs to engage the outnumbered capital ships of the Rebel fleet which inflicted heavy damage on the rebel fleet.. (You would think that Darth Vader’s personal fleet full of the most loyal personnel in the empire would of stayed & fought to the last, since Vader would kill you for failing) Yet with the Death Star Destroyed & the Emperor slayed (The main objectives of the attack) the Rebellion didn’t have much reason to stick around.. With the main portion of their fleet at Endor the rebels would benefit more by leaving to spread the news of the Emperor’s death & hitting vulnerable imperial system then duking it out with the remnants of Death Squadron taking additional casualties in the process.

As it would be too large, the video could feature only the forces Daala used on Yavin IV plus Crimson Command

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this essential Star Wars Legends novel-the first ever to take place after the events of the original trilogy-Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his debut on the galactic stage. Five years ago, the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and drove the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor’s warlords, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made a vital discovery that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build.

Geez, you’re the second guy to catch this…amazing. And I mean this as a compliment.

I still would like to see Corey spitballing possible extensions to fleets like Solo Command and Wedge's Lusankya hunters to better match the true-scale Executor class. Vs the older 8km versions with half as many guns and less than half the length

@@DIEGhostfish well in game there's solid reasons not to do that. Firstly pathfinding in EaW is basically bare bones, so larger ships don't interact well. Then there's balance and the fact the vessel would pretty much take up half or more of the map. Theoretically he could just upscale it for these analysis videos, then shrink it back I suppose.

I think he's talking more about on more videos adding ships to task forces to account for power disparities, like not having three ships in Solo Command not be able to basically murder 2 SSDs.

@@CoreysDatapad Yeah, though Solo Command is less of an interesting one to me, since it's an official NR taskforce and you can bulk it up with whatever you want without needing to make up a narrative. My real interest is in Wedge's "Pirate" fleet in Bacta war. Where they'd need to bulk it up with other sources of ship. Personally I lean heavily to that early bit where they had access to corporate skyhooks. Sorosuub could "Lose" some Liberators and Dauntless

@@CoreysDatapad fair, though one of said SSDs was almost entirely unmanned and both lost shields to sabotage in the start of the battle so it's a bit more understandable for Zsinj to flee that engagement.

Yup. Same.
