    I'm a Naval Architect for the Imperial Navy. Got picked up from the old Seperatist shipyards and the design doctrine has been quite different.
    Essentially all my ideas are thrown out with either "No, it has to be a triangle" or "No, the shields will cover it".

      Well, you should run away from said A wing .
      Because a show of cowardice on your last minute would be great, rather than ordering a transfer of command to the second bridge.

    "Get to know where things are."
    Immediately I remember being asked by an officer how to get to "Aft Battledress" on the OHP frigate I served on. There's just one passageway going aft so kind of hard to get lost. I pointed to the back of the ship and said, "Aft." I didn't say but I did think, "If you fall off the ship you went too far."

    Admiral currently serving on board the ISD Core Envoy. We were just assigned a new tasking order, escorting cargo shipments from rampart station to sentinel base. These shipments will ensure the lasting peace and security of our Empire.
    I believe this young and upcoming cadet will one day be a leader in our Star fighter core.
    You can serve on my ship anytime.

    Make sure to learn the fields of fire for your turbo lasers and ion cannons and that you use your tie squadrons to help protect the rear and shield generators, learn to effectively use your ion cannons to disable enemy ships and your tractor beams to seize them, also the ISD was meant for broad side engagements against other ships not head to head engagements.

      Way too many people underestimate the Imperial Army due to rebel propaganda. Failing to realise that the rebels were on their last legs and the reason the Empire died was due to political powers and not because their military is weak.
      It didn't help that the rebels were using hit and run tactics. So yeah the ISD wasn't meant to fight someone that would fight and runaway
      In a fair fight however the Empire would win most of the time.

      Eh, the ISD does have some weaknesses even in a straight-up fight, most notably the fact that if you're for some reason facing a ship with masers or other shield-piercing weapons your shield generators and bridge are very vulnerable. Thing is, the only power in the galaxy that employs that kind of weaponry en-masse is the Chiss, and they're an Imperial ally.

    • @laisphinto6372
      @laisphinto6372 6 месяцев назад +1

      Most Problems are way more because of the usuage and Not the ISD itself , they Talk so much Trash about IT but even the Rebels used the ISDs for over 50 years after the Galactic CIVIL war because guess what the ship IS actually amazing. Also the whole talk about Design flaws can also very much be Not understanding how Star wars ships Like they would also critize Star Trek ships for their Warp engines being exposed Not knowing thats how you have to build IT to make it Work also that the only shields Generators are the on the top IS suspect for such a Big ship and the ISD 2 has Point defense WE See IT clearly in the OT how Else can ISDs Chase the Falcon?

      Counterpoint: The Imperial, Victory, Bellator, Executor and Resurgent class Star Destroyers are the only ships in Star Wars with exposed shield generators. MC80s are renowned for their shield strength yet they have fully internalized generators, and most other ships that have shields mount the generators internally as well. This could point to the particular type of shield generator used by those various Star Destroyer designs needing to be mounted externally, but then why not just use a different shield generator design? As for the bridge positioning, the Resurgent class actually fixes that by lowering the bridge into the superstructure of the ship, rather than on a massive tower. It's actually one of the reasons why the Resurgent-class is one of my favorites.
      And yes, I know that Star Trek ships have to have a gap between the warp nacelles and that the warp nacelles have to be in pairs... or really, are _supposed to_ but then you have a bunch of ships that completely throw these rules out the window, like the Galaxy Refit from All Good Things (three nacelles, and the middle pylon gets in the way of the side nacelles), the Defiant (kinda, the rule is at least a 50% line of sight between nacelles, the Defiant's weird inboard nacelles are just on the threshold of that so it's a bit of a margin of error case) and a number of single-nacelle ships, plus there's the Klingon Bird of Prey which has fully inboard warp coils. Given explanations don't work when what's shown contradicts them.

    Hi. Admiral of a fleet here. Quick bit of advice. We are meant to be attacking a rebel base on some snowy planet but I think I may have come out of light speed too close. The boss is giving me a evil look (although it's difficult to tell) but he certainly is rasping a bit more heavily.

    This is great. Although if I had to be an effective captain, I would be requesting, 2 Venator Class Star Carriers, modified to be less reminiscent of the Republic Era. As well as 2 Acclamators carrying as many TIE Interceptors as possible and 2 being solely heavy Anti Starfighter transports. As well as 2 Imperial Class Interdictor Star Destroyer rather than an interdictor cruiser and a bunch of smaller vessels such as Gozanti's purposely set up for Anti Starfighter focus and Arquitence
    Just so I have the firepower necessary to deal with most rebel vessels but also the starfighter capacity to eliminate any hit-and-run maneuvers. As well as modified Arquitens class vessels able to deploy at least 2 TIE defenders. Which remain as support ships only to launch into lightspeed just to undermine the opponent.

Sure a Well rounded fleet IS reasonable but Not 2 venators AS a CAPTAIN do you know how expensive These ships are and they arent that good for the purpose you want. You Like more fighters get Ton falls or since you are Just a Captain get a few quaser fires you need the fighters firepower anyway, the venators are highly outdated in ship to ship Combat and the repair cost today IS so expensive you better of buying a whole new ISDs thats why Most venators in Service arent fully repaired but cannibalized by Other venators to keep them Operational

    The Tarkin Doctrine was having a few massive weapons that would bring fear, and control to the Galaxy. IE; The Death Star.
    The Thrawn Doctrine was having a large, versatile fleet that can be deployed anywhere in the galaxy to tackle any threat.
    Tarkin obviously won out.

      Tbf had Tarkin knew the Death Star had weakness he would've stopped that and patched it immediately.
      Without that weakness how exactly were you supposed to kill that Death Star anyway? Tons and tons of destroyers? Maybe just full blown invasion of the death star?
      Exactly almost nothing was able to defeat the Death Star except for that weakness. Had the rebel didn't get the necessary plans of the death star and honestly the empire would've won easily.
      Who would dare stop them.
