Palatine: "You will help establish a new imperial order, far removed from the interference of any rebels." Wait until he finds out how the Minmatar and Caldari empires were made.
So this is how Eve gets new ships? Other Verses invade, get destroyed, then cannibalized? This being said, I'm still surprised i haven't seen the Lexx wandering around eating stuff there.
Not quite, but capsuleers are generally obsessed with who can blow up the new shiny bling that showed up the fastest. As far as I know the only ships known to use cannibalized technology are the Tech III ships as the tactical destroyers and strategic cruisers use salvaged sleeper technology
EvE Scout and Signal Cartel stand ready to help any and all who are in need.... We've helped save so many from being stranded in Anoikis, even WiNGSPAN. So yeah, we would help the Imperials as well. (I am thrilled to see our inclusion in the story, so thanks!)
To be clear, we will help anyone stranded / lost. We don't help pilots evade incoming fleets: we are a strictly neutral organization. That said, huge fun to see us included in the story!
The fleet gets dropped on by a fleet of dreads backed by titans and support ships. They start tearing the Imperials apart. A second fleet of dreads, titans and support ships drops in and starts fighting the first fleet. The Imperials take the opportunity to get away. As they lick their wounds they learn through the New Eden data network that the two fleets have both been reinforced multiple times and the battle there now rages with thousands of battleships, hundreds of dreads and dozens of titans. To the shock of the Imperials, this is not the first time this has happened nor is it anywhere near the largest battle. Dalaa decides to change tactics and releases all of the common knowledge available in the SW universe in a press release. CONCORD verifies the existance if aliens and the Imperials reorganize into a corporation that deals with preparing New Edeners for alien interaction. Secretly the officers have been approached by the enigmatic Jove. They offer to help them reconnect with their galaxy in exchange for alien genetic data. They believe it might help cure their Jovian disease.
Best conclusion, right here! Although the imperials might lose a few ships before they finally figure out why they can't jump out, and focus their fire to tear through a hictor before it's bubble can cycle and it gets more remote reps.
Bubbles prevent jumps, which seems an awful lot like Star Wars interdictor's gravity fields. So while scrams won't work, bubbles might. Besides, it would make for a better story.
Uhm the jovians are gone just a few of thier members left i empire space. Jove space is abandoned with stations falling apart heck even thier stargate network have been destroyed
for story reasons it might be cool if the Eclipse was a cut above a Titan, maybe with some symbolic difference in its doomsday device like a lower cooldown. Something that lets it get a clutch win in a 1v1, but not take on much more than that at any one time. Maybe it's also packing equivalent dps to big guns, but with application similar to high-angle guns. Let's the imperials die with honour against an over eager small alliance caught off guard and escalating slowly.
This is awesome! I found the first video last night, then I wake up to find this. I have 4 8+ year old characters. I havent played in a long time, and a Start Wars fan. Keep it up! We need more people getting the word out about Eve Online.
When there is something new to blew up in New Eden you can be sure to face thousands of capsuleers, dropping various doctrines, capital wings and even Supercapitals just to appear on killmail! I wish the best of luck to this puny little fleet!
As former eve player. The Empire would be outmatched completely by any random alliance in Eve just with sheer numbers. Star Destroyer sized vessels take only hours to make by the dozen. With that said, the number of systems in Eve is a fraction of star systems in any galaxy. With unlimited nature of hyperspace travel, they could go to systems far away from even those known by the Jove. That wouldn't be any fun though, the worst resistance one would face is the random survivor civilisation of the great colonizing from New Eden's distance past. However, if you want hard mode of actually taking a system. The Empire could just destroy/disable the Gates in a dead end system. Timing would be critical, an operation like this would have to go down when a "fail cascade" is going on. After killing the gate, they would then have to secure any stations and outpost in that system, anywhere that can be used for ship production needs to be eliminated. Despite the salvage involved, a pod pilot could clone in, build a cynosural ship and everything would be for naught, as Titans gate in thousands of warships.
If the Imperials can take a sector for themselves, nothing is ever permanent in EVE. It's only a matter of time until someone, some faction will want that sector and those unique ship kills for themselves and it's not like the Imperials can just build new Star Destroyers anymore. Probably the only way the Imperials can survive for the long term is to make alliances and to start bolstering their fleet with native New Eden ships and technologies.
I like the Idea cant wait for Part 3 ;) I think The Empire would be good to go with the Caldari State near Ideologies. But Alone in a Null Sec System only a mater of time bevor they have the Attention off the bigger Alliances.
Ooohohoh, this could go south so fast. Once capsuleer supercapitals start making an entrance, unless the Empire fleets gets wiped out in moments it could turn into a huge coalition brawl if enough of them want some sexy killmails or just a chance to screw with each other. Like spilling blood into a body of water filled with starving piranhas
Wow, I've loved this little series! Both sci-fi universes are among my favourites as well, and I love the focus on narrative :) Great job! You've earned yourself a new subscriber!!
Undoubtedly the Empire will gain control of a single star system if they plan and execute carefully. But it won't take very long for a corporation or alliance to respond with utter brute force. But maybe the imperials will gain capsuleer sympathizers and turn the tide of events...
But if they are down south ther are either going to get swarmed by, well, Goonswarm or taken out by TEST/Co2. No way in hell they can survive down there even with some capsuleers.
There may be an additional pair of things to look into. The sleepers and Sansha's empire of cyborg slaves and their stolen Jovian technology. A stardestroyer or even multiple having to deal with a Revenant and it's incursion support fleet would be unnerving. Or would they side with them? Honestly their goals could align. They want space for a new empire and Sansha wants to rebuild his old empire.
I feel like if one were so inclined, one could get on the test server and get some sweet cinematic shots for this. I don't know how well they'd stand up to having a star destroyer crudely animated over them, but there's one way to find out ;)
The only way I see this working is by the empire going native and basically starting their own Corp. Then normal rules apply ie accepting capsules in and using the sw ships as caps until they can get eve caps
It seems like if they don't get alpha'd, they can just jump out of any engagement using Hyperdrive™ That's a rare and desirable technology. It may be a valuable bargaining chip. They could take refuge in a citadel, and observe in disbelief as their new allies demonstrate the overwhelming scale of what they are actually up against.
Doctor Wrecks if they trade the drive and the capsuleers find out where the empire is located then the empire gets crushed, it would be the new nulsec only with more isk to be made.
My scenario: the empire forces use the new Eden database to learn about capsuleer technology, their first attempts to alter stormtroopers end in horrible deaths. However once they perfect the process they start turning the most loyal into capsuleers. Thousands of empire infiltrators start carebearing like crazy, they use the new Eden learning system to teach themselves everything there is to know over several years. After hording resources for years they launch a surprise attack on nulsec with everything they have, alliance after alliance starts to fall, it takes the better part of a decade to bring the great high sec empires to heel but it is done in the end. Having completed the takedown of new Eden this new order of demi-gods examines their loyalties and finds them childish considering their new found power. Instead of bowing to the emperor they set sail back to the empire with conquest in mind, the empire is crushed in months by overwhelming force and superior technology. The end.
Beyond anything else, love your Emperor voice. Shame the star wars lot haven't the slightest chance... if Imperium or PanFam find them, then they are doomed
o_O Who the hell added that as an image of Grand Admiral Nataasi Daala? vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/ec/Daala3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060408193613 That's what she looked like while serving in her Guardianship of the Maw... *if* she was able to get the Eclipse as well as I'd assume the other Super Star Destroyer (well Star Dreadnought) would be "Night's Hammer" which she took after killing all of the Remnant Warlords. vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/54/Harder_to_Breathe_TERC.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160928050158 She also underwent a bit of a change from her established Regulation appearance to a much more Rogue / Pilot Look. With this said, she is only 32 at said point. She would at least in the Legends Canon somehow survive until her old age as a member of the New Republic Government; still with most of her trademark Red Hair, although greyed a bit around the edges... now as a point of note; while it's a cool cameo, bizarre reference image choice aside. (Again fuck knows how or who added that, or where the hell it's even from) Something to note, Female Officers were "Uncommon" to say the least within the Empire. Grand Admiral Female Officers, well she was *unique* in said Rank. He own crews would've readily accepted her Authority, but a major point in her story arc is how until she begins killing people who disobey or disrespect her... there is little weight given to her station by other Ranking Imperial Officers. Again see Image 2 for Reference, that's how they tended to end up. As such it would've made more sense for said Admiral you've gone with to essentially try to Pull Rank and take over, without realising she's a *Grand* Admiral. Now I said *if* she'd get the Eclipse given, well she never came across it. Don't get me wrong at her Height he had 3 Star Dreadnoughts under her Command, along with the Dark Sabre; which was essentially the 3rd Death Star' Main Weapon cosplaying as a Standard Dreadnought Cruiser. I'm assuming you want it for the Doomsday approximation without pulling out the Sun Crusher.
I personally think null would be the wrong move for them. Capsuleers could escalate infinitely against them. They be better off claiming a wormhole system. They could control engagements, gather resources and even reverse engineer tech from there. Once they have built themselves up then they could break out into a region of their choice.
Justin Northrop The problem with that is that they are dudes of flesh and bone fighting demi-gods. The only chance they have is for them all to become capsuleers themselves. It would become a problem to enforce loyalty if they take this route.
I think a better match up would be the Star Destroyer vs. a Gallente Navy Issue Megathron with Tech II Neutron Blasters loaded with Void. Of course ,in good Gallente fashaion it is armor tanked sporting a dual EAMNs, Federation mag stabs, and 1600mm steel plates in the lows. Medium slots webifiers, warp scram, microwarp drive, and heavy capacitor. Rig slots would be for additional tank. My money is on the Navy Issue Megathron at that point.
Oh, they're going to Null? Okay yeah they're screwed. Even if they manage to win their first few engagements with ease (Especially since I doubt the locals will be quick to form, since it is the south) the simple truth is that the Imperials don't have capsuleer tech, and will slowly be worn down, and when you take into account the locals in the south (Goons, Co2, Legacy, Proviblock, etc) have incredibly large capital ship fleets and titan fleets in addition to infinite numbers thanks to capsuleer status, the empire is slowly going to get worn down, or obliterated in an all out engagement. There is no logical way for the imperials to survive. And even if they do they're not using official ships, some GM is gonna show up in a cockroach and obliterate all of them.
Besides, the Eclipse is just a single Titan. Goonswarm has much more than that. The Imperials would be recked. But at least they didnt end up in the north, then PL/NC. Supercap fleets would just sit on em for a few seconds, and the Imperials would be gone.
It seems like if they don't get alpha'd, they can just jump out of any engagement using Hyperdrive™ That's a rare and desirable technology. It may be a valuable bargaining chip. They could hide in a citadel, and observe in disbelief as their new allies demonstrate the overwhelming scale of what they are actually up against. ...oh god i'm having a serious discussion about EVE Online vs. Starwars.
Everyone forgets when it comes to mmo it's all about numbers if this is both parties they are gonna have chat room tactics if it is in space the ability to communicate is much less and whoever gets the drop would win.
Yeah, I don't think they'll stick around for long in null-sec. Super SSD's are roughly equivalent to titans in power, I think, but they lack the reactivity that comes from having a capsuleer pilot. If they get lucky and start invading a relatively weak group without titans they might live for a while, but in a couple of months at most Goonswarm/Pandemic Legion/Some other group will go after them and wipe them out.
Some people forget EVE's spaceships are one of the most advanced and powerful ever seen along the whole Sci-Fi. The common Star Wars ISD or even the First Order's Supremacy are nothing compared to them I made my research watching the info from both universe and a it's possible that a single Dreadnought-class either from Caldari, Amarr, Minmatar or Gallente can take down a Resurgent-class destroyer fleet
Oh man, even the supercarriers has doomsday devices now. And if the fleet is lured to a keepstar citadel, dont matter how powerfull is the eclipse superweapon, they will be erased from existance in minutes.
Not sure how strong a keepstar citadel is but if it isn't as big as a planet it is dead. The Eclipse's super laser trades raw destructive power for accuracy. So it can't reduce a planet to an asteroid field in one shot like the Death Star's versions, but it can still shatter the crust and release the mantle while blasting a huge chunk of planet out of existence. Not absolute destruction but a planet killer none the less given it will turn a body the size of a planet into something that looks like the moon of Remnant (RWBY). So yeah the citadel I am fairly sure isn't going to stop the Eclipse. Not with a super laser blast accurate enough to pick off probably anything battle-cruiser sized or larger coming every 2 minutes.Even if the citadel is technically large enough to survive multiple hits from the super laser it likely would survive one in a realistic story telling environment given the first shot would like target a key system. Most likely the primary power reactors which would combine with the super laser's blast to ensure a cascade explosion that is sure to doom the station. No, this isn't a fight to be won by stations but by ships. Lots and lots and lots and lots of ships. The Imperials will win or lose this encounter based on ships. Primarily based on if they start adding New Eden ships to their fleet as well to increase/maintain their numbers, be them Imperial controlled or EVE player fleets allying with them.
The shielding of the Keepstar is unpenetrable. Even the titan's doomsday devices cant harm the citadel when it is in invulnerability state, and i don't know the power output of these superweapons, but reading the lore, one shot of a doomsday device on a planet created an extintion event like the dinos or the permian. It wont melt the crust of a planet, but one doomsday was shot on low orbit killed the 88% of all life forms on a planet. So, 1/100 of the Eclipse output, and theses energies dont do nothing to a keepstar in invulnerability state. Excuse me my broken english.
No problem with the English. Wasn't that broken really. But you are placing it at about 1/100th of the Eclipse's super laser. So if it is 100x stronger then it would be safe to assume it will give no craps about the shielding even in invulnerable mode. Unless CCP coding comes in and pulls a 'miracle' for the citadel. But in storytelling mode that would be like using cheat codes to turn on invincibility.
The Eclipse is about the same as a Titan. An Eclipse is 17.5km, and some Titans are a bit larger. They have the same kind of super weapons. The Keepstar will be able to tank a single eclipse forever. The Eclipse will however die over abit of time to the Keepstars own Superweapon. Stop wanking the Star Wars Eclipse Cursed.
@cursed 100 times the power of a titan's doomsday is still 100*0=0 When Trozomuro says a Titan's doomsday does nothing to a keepstar he means it does literally nothing. Not one single hitpoint out of 405 million hitpoints are lost. In terms of energy, you could concentrate the birth of a new universe directly onto the keepstar and it would do nothing. To destroy a keepstar you must play by its rules: it is utterly invulnerable outside of certain hours each week, at which point you may shoot it but can only do so much damage every 30 seconds. Regardless of how much firepower you concentrate on it, it will last at least 30 minutes. (I believe, correct me if I'm mistaken). This process must be repeated three times, then and only then is a keepstar destroyed. It is not (overly) hard to do, but those rules are kind of the point of Keepstar citadels. Besides, it makes for a much more compelling story.
I'd say the Super Star Destroyer is more useful. Yes, the Eclipse has a super weapon which can neutralize planets and destroy large ships in one shot, but it has a lot less of the other types of weapons. It would be good as an artillery ship and quickly taking planets however (an SSD ,or even SD ,could level the surface of a planet however).
You really don't play EVE do you. Nullsec pilots see a ship like that and they call their friends and say "hey dude there's a sweet shiny new ship to kill". The empire fleet would be hit with something magnitudes larger in number and size than them, and the moment the Eclipse was spotted there'd be dozens or more dreadnaughts, FAX capitals, heavy interdictors, and at least a hundred subcapitals--battleships, battlecruisers, cruisers, etc. And that's assuming the EVE fleet doesn't have titans--if they do, they could bring the equivalent of *several* Ecplises, with similar superweapons, but of greater variety. The entire combined might of the galactic empire wouldn't be able to invade New Eden on its best day, because as they have before, the four empires (and the capsuleers) would unite against the threat, and that's a force thousands of times larger, with *thousands* of capital and supercapital ships, and liberal use of them.
They want Sov? In shiny, unique ships? LOL! I suppose if they went to the middle of nowhere they'd be fine, but if they want to be anywhere near "empire" space they'd get wrecked... Send them to Provi. if they meet up with Daala they could probably handle a BlOps fleet.
Could the SD jam the drones? Transmissions are jammed in ANH, ESB, and RoTJ as well as Thrawn jamming the hundreds of lucrehulks drones in legends.. This would immediately remove the drones from the scenario and absolutely change the outcome. Also droids are no match for 'the real thing to paraphrase Han. Is it true in eve online as well? This would put the TIEs w the advantage.
Can a Titan super weapon kill another Titan in one shot? Because if not then don't count on it. SSD have crazy armor and shields both. Something EVE ships can't have. It's one or the other as far as tanking ability goes in most cases. Then you have the Eclipse as well. It can return fire with a super weapon that will one shot a titan, because it can one shot a planet and Titan's dont nearly compare to a planet in size or armor ratings.
the Titans don't have the SSD's design flaw of having the command bridge TOTALY EXPOSED! Kamikaze A-wing bitch and BOOM dead SSD lol the Titans would be like: their shields are down! Wait... is that tower the command center??? All drones, fakin target that shit!
The Eclipse can't do anything the Titans themselves already can't do. The Titans stand at the very least equal to the Eclipse in both size and armament. And probably superior to the eclipse in tanking.
Wait , if avenger and SW ships can jump anyware even without cyno or jump gates , they can occupy region and systems tray can't be bridgided in because of black holes , empirical will be safe in that Cindy of system , because their hyperdrive works on another technology
no no no no no no no don't do it capsuleers may lose a battle but they'll certainly win a war, just ask the guy who tried to do something similar, the Mittani.
part 3: the avenger gets caught by a gatecamp in lowsec and blown apart immediately. alternatively, they meet up with sansha's nightmares and crush a gatecamp on their way. maybe throw in some pirate faction help when trying to take over null? otherwise there is absolutely no way they could take null space away from capuleers, it's simply ludicrous. they wont be able to run away and save their skins if they want to win those timers, they will be forced to fight, and new eden never fights fair.
There is one big issue with this narrative. The avenger, and the rest of the Imperial ships, have no charts of hyperspace corridors, or even entry points so they would not be able to use hyperdrive until such time that they could chart them, and that is IF the corridors were ever even created. So they would be limited to the top speed of an ISD of 60MGLT, or roughly 21,600km/h
um question, deus ex machina where the hell did she get the isk? also afaik the amarr empire would not have been as cordial to the commander. while they are obligated by intergalactic law to respect capsuleers and other new eden ships (with exceptions) there isn't much reason they wouldn't have completely impounded the ship, boarded it, and brought them in for questioning. the amarr empire takes outsiders extremely seriously
Everybody here seems to be saying that the Empire can't win a territory war because of capsuleer alliances being massive, and the empire's lack of ability to recover from losses because their tech doesn't match. Did anybody stop to think that maybe literally having Star Wars ships and characters is great for PR? You could recruit an army with that! Not to mention now that they've had some time to readjust to their surroundings, they could start to incorporate EvE tech into their own operations, learn about what kind of threats New Eden has to offer and act accordingly, using their own unique abilities to great effect?
They either don't know and just know that they're an unknown entity and provide the same canned warning as they do to everyone. Or they saw the actions of the other ships with similar designs and figured that this one had a similar goal.
Take a chunk of null sec from whoever's holding it? Good luck with that. Odds are it's a coalition that doesn't take such actions well. And wars in EVE have been started for less.
Hoping to get part 3 out tomorrow evening or sunday morning!
Episode 3 - Undocks and is immediately ganked by 50 catalysts
ahahhahaha, yep!!
Damn CODE
- The Empire is strong and today we will start the conquest of the NEW EDEN! - Says the invasion fleet commander.
Somewhere in a distance you can hear someone talk on an open communication channel.

Safe place In new Eden in a shiny ship?? Lol
eatthisvr6 we have to shoot that weird ass Hurricane!
So this is how Eve gets new ships? Other Verses invade, get destroyed, then cannibalized? This being said, I'm still surprised i haven't seen the Lexx wandering around eating stuff there.
Not quite, but capsuleers are generally obsessed with who can blow up the new shiny bling that showed up the fastest. As far as I know the only ships known to use cannibalized technology are the Tech III ships as the tactical destroyers and strategic cruisers use salvaged sleeper technology
we need a whole series. not only three parts. This is just awesome!
Eve scout, the true heroes of WH space
Enriel Karledo the only heroes!
EvE Scout and Signal Cartel stand ready to help any and all who are in need.... We've helped save so many from being stranded in Anoikis, even WiNGSPAN. So yeah, we would help the Imperials as well. (I am thrilled to see our inclusion in the story, so thanks!)
To be clear, we will help anyone stranded / lost. We don't help pilots evade incoming fleets: we are a strictly neutral organization. That said, huge fun to see us included in the story!
I thought for sure the Diplomat was going to be a scammer :D
i'm still not certain it isn't one
The comment and reply were glorious
"Contract us that star destroyer bro i'll return it definitely"
Two supers, with one being the Eclipse... Sounds like a Titan battle to me.
Iapetan-type Titan shows up. Fastest Imperial surrender ever.
@@midgetydeath Jeez, this is a blast from the past! I forgot I even made this comment!
episode 3 plot - PL/goons/someone else drops 100 titans with 200 supers with tons of cap/subcap . The end.
lenkor The suncrusher appears and blasts the nearby sun/nebula to shred destroying the entire fleet
lenkor No, a wormhole open and the Star Destroyer is rescued by a Star Trek ship.
you don't need that much for such a small fleet
just a simple pipe bomb done
YES! THAT WOULD BE SUCH AN AWESOME TWIST!!
star trek ships would be a good fight.
The fleet gets dropped on by a fleet of dreads backed by titans and support ships. They start tearing the Imperials apart.
A second fleet of dreads, titans and support ships drops in and starts fighting the first fleet. The Imperials take the opportunity to get away.
As they lick their wounds they learn through the New Eden data network that the two fleets have both been reinforced multiple times and the battle there now rages with thousands of battleships, hundreds of dreads and dozens of titans.
To the shock of the Imperials, this is not the first time this has happened nor is it anywhere near the largest battle.
Dalaa decides to change tactics and releases all of the common knowledge available in the SW universe in a press release. CONCORD verifies the existance if aliens and the Imperials reorganize into a corporation that deals with preparing New Edeners for alien interaction.
Secretly the officers have been approached by the enigmatic Jove. They offer to help them reconnect with their galaxy in exchange for alien genetic data. They believe it might help cure their Jovian disease.
Best conclusion, right here!
Although the imperials might lose a few ships before they finally figure out why they can't jump out, and focus their fire to tear through a hictor before it's bubble can cycle and it gets more remote reps.
benjamin: in part 1 scram/disruptor wasnt working against hyperdrive. Maybe bubbles wont work either.
Bubbles prevent jumps, which seems an awful lot like Star Wars interdictor's gravity fields. So while scrams won't work, bubbles might. Besides, it would make for a better story.
Uhm the jovians are gone just a few of thier members left i empire space.
Jove space is abandoned with stations falling apart heck even thier stargate network have been destroyed
the Jove are dying not gone, they can still wipe the floor with a Mainline Ammarian Battlefleet (read up on the battle of Vak'atioth
The empire doesn't stand a chance. It's hot drop o' clock!
I'm guessing a fully armed and operational Keepstar plus a defense fleet vs the Eclipse and its escorts for the next episode. Can't wait!
that would be a hilarious twist of fate and reversal of position from the Empire being used to the deathstar. I endorse this.
The Eclipse is nothing special in EVE. It's pretty much the same as a Titan, and there are hundreds of titans. Both have a super weapon.
for story reasons it might be cool if the Eclipse was a cut above a Titan, maybe with some symbolic difference in its doomsday device like a lower cooldown. Something that lets it get a clutch win in a 1v1, but not take on much more than that at any one time. Maybe it's also packing equivalent dps to big guns, but with application similar to high-angle guns.
Let's the imperials die with honour against an over eager small alliance caught off guard and escalating slowly.
The addition of an Eidelon and Drifter Battleships will be the cat amongst the pigeons! The only hope for the Imperial fleet is then to pray!!!!!!
Now I want the Star Destroyer to be rescued by a Star Trek Federation vessel.
Sir Another starship is entering the system, it's THE ENTERPRISE! YA AAAA!
This is awesome! I found the first video last night, then I wake up to find this. I have 4 8+ year old characters. I havent played in a long time, and a Start Wars fan. Keep it up! We need more people getting the word out about Eve Online.
When there is something new to blew up in New Eden you can be sure to face thousands of capsuleers, dropping various doctrines, capital wings and even Supercapitals just to appear on killmail!
I wish the best of luck to this puny little fleet!
These vids make me want to finally try out eve.
you should its really fun.
Pt3 should have a rematch with the pirate from ep1, but this time, he is with his friends who are now sober.
Please for the love of all things EPIC make this a long and detailed series.
As former eve player. The Empire would be outmatched completely by any random alliance in Eve just with sheer numbers. Star Destroyer sized vessels take only hours to make by the dozen. With that said, the number of systems in Eve is a fraction of star systems in any galaxy. With unlimited nature of hyperspace travel, they could go to systems far away from even those known by the Jove. That wouldn't be any fun though, the worst resistance one would face is the random survivor civilisation of the great colonizing from New Eden's distance past.
However, if you want hard mode of actually taking a system. The Empire could just destroy/disable the Gates in a dead end system. Timing would be critical, an operation like this would have to go down when a "fail cascade" is going on. After killing the gate, they would then have to secure any stations and outpost in that system, anywhere that can be used for ship production needs to be eliminated. Despite the salvage involved, a pod pilot could clone in, build a cynosural ship and everything would be for naught, as Titans gate in thousands of warships.
we have an eclipse class dreadnought!
we have thousands of Avatar
Space Dildo Victor! :D
This is so good...laughed so hard at 4:45!!!!!
If the Imperials can take a sector for themselves, nothing is ever permanent in EVE. It's only a matter of time until someone, some faction will want that sector and those unique ship kills for themselves and it's not like the Imperials can just build new Star Destroyers anymore. Probably the only way the Imperials can survive for the long term is to make alliances and to start bolstering their fleet with native New Eden ships and technologies.
Man, I found this channel recently, and now I must watch it all.
And here's wingspan to deliver torpedoes to the empire
I like the Idea cant wait for Part 3 ;) I think The Empire would be good to go with the Caldari State near Ideologies. But Alone in a Null Sec System only a mater of time bevor they have the Attention off the bigger Alliances.
Not the weirdest crossover fanfic I've ever seen.
Ooohohoh, this could go south so fast. Once capsuleer supercapitals start making an entrance, unless the Empire fleets gets wiped out in moments it could turn into a huge coalition brawl if enough of them want some sexy killmails or just a chance to screw with each other.
Like spilling blood into a body of water filled with starving piranhas
Wow, I've loved this little series! Both sci-fi universes are among my favourites as well, and I love the focus on narrative :) Great job! You've earned yourself a new subscriber!!
Undoubtedly the Empire will gain control of a single star system if they plan and execute carefully. But it won't take very long for a corporation or alliance to respond with utter brute force. But maybe the imperials will gain capsuleer sympathizers and turn the tide of events...
But if they are down south ther are either going to get swarmed by, well, Goonswarm or taken out by TEST/Co2. No way in hell they can survive down there even with some capsuleers.
There may be an additional pair of things to look into. The sleepers and Sansha's empire of cyborg slaves and their stolen Jovian technology.
A stardestroyer or even multiple having to deal with a Revenant and it's incursion support fleet would be unnerving.
Or would they side with them?
Honestly their goals could align. They want space for a new empire and Sansha wants to rebuild his old empire.
I feel like if one were so inclined, one could get on the test server and get some sweet cinematic shots for this.
I don't know how well they'd stand up to having a star destroyer crudely animated over them, but there's one way to find out ;)
This needs to be an ongoing series, I think. Very nice.
The only way I see this working is by the empire going native and basically starting their own Corp. Then normal rules apply ie accepting capsules in and using the sw ships as caps until they can get eve caps
It seems like if they don't get alpha'd, they can just jump out of any engagement using Hyperdrive™
That's a rare and desirable technology. It may be a valuable bargaining chip.
They could take refuge in a citadel, and observe in disbelief as their new allies demonstrate the overwhelming scale of what they are actually up against.
Doctor Wrecks if they trade the drive and the capsuleers find out where the empire is located then the empire gets crushed, it would be the new nulsec only with more isk to be made.
Keep the series going. A Machinima series of this would be awesome
Amusing. I look forward to further episodes of this ill-fated incursion. :D
Must see part 3, if they will live or die it's up to bob the god of eve online.
hope they survive for my fellow clone trooper that might be on board
Mynxee is gonna carve a small empire in that signaleer for interfering in other people's battles.
Hmm... That Star Destroyer would look mighty tasty on Bombers Bar's kill board.
My scenario: the empire forces use the new Eden database to learn about capsuleer technology, their first attempts to alter stormtroopers end in horrible deaths. However once they perfect the process they start turning the most loyal into capsuleers. Thousands of empire infiltrators start carebearing like crazy, they use the new Eden learning system to teach themselves everything there is to know over several years.
After hording resources for years they launch a surprise attack on nulsec with everything they have, alliance after alliance starts to fall, it takes the better part of a decade to bring the great high sec empires to heel but it is done in the end.
Having completed the takedown of new Eden this new order of demi-gods examines their loyalties and finds them childish considering their new found power.
Instead of bowing to the emperor they set sail back to the empire with conquest in mind, the empire is crushed in months by overwhelming force and superior technology. The end.
Beyond anything else, love your Emperor voice. Shame the star wars lot haven't the slightest chance... if Imperium or PanFam find them, then they are doomed
Dammit. I want to hate this but I can't. Very entertaining. I like the story telling format.
o_O Who the hell added that as an image of Grand Admiral Nataasi Daala?
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/ec/Daala3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060408193613
That's what she looked like while serving in her Guardianship of the Maw... *if* she was able to get the Eclipse as well as I'd assume the other Super Star Destroyer (well Star Dreadnought) would be "Night's Hammer" which she took after killing all of the Remnant Warlords.
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/54/Harder_to_Breathe_TERC.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160928050158
She also underwent a bit of a change from her established Regulation appearance to a much more Rogue / Pilot Look.
With this said, she is only 32 at said point. She would at least in the Legends Canon somehow survive until her old age as a member of the New Republic Government; still with most of her trademark Red Hair, although greyed a bit around the edges... now as a point of note; while it's a cool cameo, bizarre reference image choice aside. (Again fuck knows how or who added that, or where the hell it's even from)
Something to note, Female Officers were "Uncommon" to say the least within the Empire. Grand Admiral Female Officers, well she was *unique* in said Rank.
He own crews would've readily accepted her Authority, but a major point in her story arc is how until she begins killing people who disobey or disrespect her... there is little weight given to her station by other Ranking Imperial Officers. Again see Image 2 for Reference, that's how they tended to end up.
As such it would've made more sense for said Admiral you've gone with to essentially try to Pull Rank and take over, without realising she's a *Grand* Admiral.
Now I said *if* she'd get the Eclipse given, well she never came across it. Don't get me wrong at her Height he had 3 Star Dreadnoughts under her Command, along with the Dark Sabre; which was essentially the 3rd Death Star' Main Weapon cosplaying as a Standard Dreadnought Cruiser. I'm assuming you want it for the Doomsday approximation without pulling out the Sun Crusher.
Leyvin (StudioRaven) #suncrusher an its over.
man a partnership with star wars and eve.. where the empire invades would be crazy
I personally think null would be the wrong move for them. Capsuleers could escalate infinitely against them. They be better off claiming a wormhole system. They could control engagements, gather resources and even reverse engineer tech from there. Once they have built themselves up then they could break out into a region of their choice.
Justin Northrop The problem with that is that they are dudes of flesh and bone fighting demi-gods. The only chance they have is for them all to become capsuleers themselves. It would become a problem to enforce loyalty if they take this route.
The only place where they might be able to control the engagements long enough for them to get(reverse engineer) capsuleers of their own is wh space
Meanwhile, Bombers Bar Slack is pinging like crazy.
I think a better match up would be the Star Destroyer vs. a Gallente Navy Issue Megathron with Tech II Neutron Blasters loaded with Void. Of course ,in good Gallente fashaion it is armor tanked sporting a dual EAMNs, Federation mag stabs, and 1600mm steel plates in the lows. Medium slots webifiers, warp scram, microwarp drive, and heavy capacitor. Rig slots would be for additional tank.
My money is on the Navy Issue Megathron at that point.
PLEASE let them try to take Sov space in Delve! It would be hilarious!
2 videos on eve vs star wars? Instant sub! Love EvE Online
Star Destroyer jumps to Jita, suicide gankers take great interest
Best series yet! Two clashes of epic geekdom!
this would make a GREAT BOOK
Oh, they're going to Null? Okay yeah they're screwed.
Even if they manage to win their first few engagements with ease (Especially since I doubt the locals will be quick to form, since it is the south) the simple truth is that the Imperials don't have capsuleer tech, and will slowly be worn down, and when you take into account the locals in the south (Goons, Co2, Legacy, Proviblock, etc) have incredibly large capital ship fleets and titan fleets in addition to infinite numbers thanks to capsuleer status, the empire is slowly going to get worn down, or obliterated in an all out engagement.
There is no logical way for the imperials to survive.
And even if they do they're not using official ships, some GM is gonna show up in a cockroach and obliterate all of them.
Besides, the Eclipse is just a single Titan. Goonswarm has much more than that. The Imperials would be recked. But at least they didnt end up in the north, then PL/NC. Supercap fleets would just sit on em for a few seconds, and the Imperials would be gone.
hell you drop a titan into Catch and Brave/Test will drop titans
Waitwaitwaitwait,
Brave has titans?
It seems like if they don't get alpha'd, they can just jump out of any engagement using Hyperdrive™
That's a rare and desirable technology. It may be a valuable bargaining chip. They could hide in a citadel, and observe in disbelief as their new allies demonstrate the overwhelming scale of what they are actually up against.
...oh god i'm having a serious discussion about EVE Online vs. Starwars.
But the Imperials have hyperdrive and don't need gates.
Everyone forgets when it comes to mmo it's all about numbers if this is both parties they are gonna have chat room tactics if it is in space the ability to communicate is much less and whoever gets the drop would win.
cool stories, hadnt thought about a star wars vs eve mashup.
Yeah, I don't think they'll stick around for long in null-sec. Super SSD's are roughly equivalent to titans in power, I think, but they lack the reactivity that comes from having a capsuleer pilot. If they get lucky and start invading a relatively weak group without titans they might live for a while, but in a couple of months at most Goonswarm/Pandemic Legion/Some other group will go after them and wipe them out.
The Scouts running a clutch rescue as always! XD
i cant wait for the massive player fleets of titans to arrive and blast the empire out of there
Some people forget EVE's spaceships are one of the most advanced and powerful ever seen along the whole Sci-Fi. The common Star Wars ISD or even the First Order's Supremacy are nothing compared to them
I made my research watching the info from both universe and a it's possible that a single Dreadnought-class either from Caldari, Amarr, Minmatar or Gallente can take down a Resurgent-class destroyer fleet
Oh man, even the supercarriers has doomsday devices now. And if the fleet is lured to a keepstar citadel, dont matter how powerfull is the eclipse superweapon, they will be erased from existance in minutes.
Not sure how strong a keepstar citadel is but if it isn't as big as a planet it is dead. The Eclipse's super laser trades raw destructive power for accuracy. So it can't reduce a planet to an asteroid field in one shot like the Death Star's versions, but it can still shatter the crust and release the mantle while blasting a huge chunk of planet out of existence. Not absolute destruction but a planet killer none the less given it will turn a body the size of a planet into something that looks like the moon of Remnant (RWBY). So yeah the citadel I am fairly sure isn't going to stop the Eclipse. Not with a super laser blast accurate enough to pick off probably anything battle-cruiser sized or larger coming every 2 minutes.Even if the citadel is technically large enough to survive multiple hits from the super laser it likely would survive one in a realistic story telling environment given the first shot would like target a key system. Most likely the primary power reactors which would combine with the super laser's blast to ensure a cascade explosion that is sure to doom the station. No, this isn't a fight to be won by stations but by ships. Lots and lots and lots and lots of ships. The Imperials will win or lose this encounter based on ships. Primarily based on if they start adding New Eden ships to their fleet as well to increase/maintain their numbers, be them Imperial controlled or EVE player fleets allying with them.
The shielding of the Keepstar is unpenetrable. Even the titan's doomsday devices cant harm the citadel when it is in invulnerability state, and i don't know the power output of these superweapons, but reading the lore, one shot of a doomsday device on a planet created an extintion event like the dinos or the permian. It wont melt the crust of a planet, but one doomsday was shot on low orbit killed the 88% of all life forms on a planet. So, 1/100 of the Eclipse output, and theses energies dont do nothing to a keepstar in invulnerability state.
Excuse me my broken english.
No problem with the English. Wasn't that broken really. But you are placing it at about 1/100th of the Eclipse's super laser. So if it is 100x stronger then it would be safe to assume it will give no craps about the shielding even in invulnerable mode. Unless CCP coding comes in and pulls a 'miracle' for the citadel. But in storytelling mode that would be like using cheat codes to turn on invincibility.
The Eclipse is about the same as a Titan. An Eclipse is 17.5km, and some Titans are a bit larger. They have the same kind of super weapons. The Keepstar will be able to tank a single eclipse forever. The Eclipse will however die over abit of time to the Keepstars own Superweapon. Stop wanking the Star Wars Eclipse Cursed.
@cursed 100 times the power of a titan's doomsday is still 100*0=0
When Trozomuro says a Titan's doomsday does nothing to a keepstar he means it does literally nothing. Not one single hitpoint out of 405 million hitpoints are lost. In terms of energy, you could concentrate the birth of a new universe directly onto the keepstar and it would do nothing.
To destroy a keepstar you must play by its rules: it is utterly invulnerable outside of certain hours each week, at which point you may shoot it but can only do so much damage every 30 seconds. Regardless of how much firepower you concentrate on it, it will last at least 30 minutes. (I believe, correct me if I'm mistaken).
This process must be repeated three times, then and only then is a keepstar destroyed. It is not (overly) hard to do, but those rules are kind of the point of Keepstar citadels. Besides, it makes for a much more compelling story.
With the eclipse they're so gonna win
I'd say the Super Star Destroyer is more useful. Yes, the Eclipse has a super weapon which can neutralize planets and destroy large ships in one shot, but it has a lot less of the other types of weapons. It would be good as an artillery ship and quickly taking planets however (an SSD ,or even SD ,could level the surface of a planet however).
Titans have similar weapons..
But if the empire is not careful and trys to take Goon space they will get hotdropped with 50 titans. Rip
even if it gets to smaller sov holder they will still face several supercarriers if not several titans...
You really don't play EVE do you. Nullsec pilots see a ship like that and they call their friends and say "hey dude there's a sweet shiny new ship to kill".
The empire fleet would be hit with something magnitudes larger in number and size than them, and the moment the Eclipse was spotted there'd be dozens or more dreadnaughts, FAX capitals, heavy interdictors, and at least a hundred subcapitals--battleships, battlecruisers, cruisers, etc. And that's assuming the EVE fleet doesn't have titans--if they do, they could bring the equivalent of *several* Ecplises, with similar superweapons, but of greater variety.
The entire combined might of the galactic empire wouldn't be able to invade New Eden on its best day, because as they have before, the four empires (and the capsuleers) would unite against the threat, and that's a force thousands of times larger, with *thousands* of capital and supercapital ships, and liberal use of them.
Star Destroyer docked! Lol
ADMIRAL DALA?!? OMFG I LOVE HER CHARACTER!!!!!
Really nice epîsodes man, some really original content for once ! Keep up the good work and thank you :D
This will be over before they figure what a Tornado is.
The Caldari use energy weapons of greater magnitude than the imperial fleet.
They want Sov? In shiny, unique ships? LOL! I suppose if they went to the middle of nowhere they'd be fine, but if they want to be anywhere near "empire" space they'd get wrecked... Send them to Provi. if they meet up with Daala they could probably handle a BlOps fleet.
Could the SD jam the drones? Transmissions are jammed in ANH, ESB, and RoTJ as well as Thrawn jamming the hundreds of lucrehulks drones in legends.. This would immediately remove the drones from the scenario and absolutely change the outcome. Also droids are no match for 'the real thing to paraphrase Han. Is it true in eve online as well? This would put the TIEs w the advantage.
can't wait until the empire runs into titans
4:57 made me chuckle
Titan super weapon would kill a Super Star Destroyer in one shot.
Can a Titan super weapon kill another Titan in one shot? Because if not then don't count on it. SSD have crazy armor and shields both. Something EVE ships can't have. It's one or the other as far as tanking ability goes in most cases. Then you have the Eclipse as well. It can return fire with a super weapon that will one shot a titan, because it can one shot a planet and Titan's dont nearly compare to a planet in size or armor ratings.
the Titans don't have the SSD's design flaw of having the command bridge TOTALY EXPOSED! Kamikaze A-wing bitch and BOOM dead SSD lol
the Titans would be like: their shields are down! Wait... is that tower the command center??? All drones, fakin target that shit!
The Eclipse can't do anything the Titans themselves already can't do. The Titans stand at the very least equal to the Eclipse in both size and armament. And probably superior to the eclipse in tanking.
Wait , if avenger and SW ships can jump anyware even without cyno or jump gates , they can occupy region and systems tray can't be bridgided in because of black holes , empirical will be safe in that Cindy of system , because their hyperdrive works on another technology
Great video! :) I want more!
no no no no no no no don't do it capsuleers may lose a battle but they'll certainly win a war, just ask the guy who tried to do something similar, the Mittani.
You, sir, are not bad at storytelling. Not bad at all.
I can't wait to see episode 3
part 3: the avenger gets caught by a gatecamp in lowsec and blown apart immediately. alternatively, they meet up with sansha's nightmares and crush a gatecamp on their way. maybe throw in some pirate faction help when trying to take over null? otherwise there is absolutely no way they could take null space away from capuleers, it's simply ludicrous. they wont be able to run away and save their skins if they want to win those timers, they will be forced to fight, and new eden never fights fair.
they will prosper! and the empire will be once again the known might in the Galaxy!
There is one big issue with this narrative. The avenger, and the rest of the Imperial ships, have no charts of hyperspace corridors, or even entry points so they would not be able to use hyperdrive until such time that they could chart them, and that is IF the corridors were ever even created. So they would be limited to the top speed of an ISD of 60MGLT, or roughly 21,600km/h
Dat emperor voice dou wow it's good but super funny
Not a bad story, sounds legit. Tell them not to come near Syndicate though. Panfam titans await them with EM doomsdays.
You predicted his return 2 years ago!
Lol, safe... They obviously didn't see a burn Jita event or that time they got titans banned from high sec for destroying an empire station.
I'd love to see a titan vs anything else.
In part three they find out that Dyson is recruiting
Eclipse class dreadnought? with it 800+ star fighters?
Carve out a system or two on the edge of/from the Providence bloc/CVA.
you are gawdamn psychic my friend :P I'll say no more!
Make the StarCraft next!
um question, deus ex machina where the hell did she get the isk? also afaik the amarr empire would not have been as cordial to the commander. while they are obligated by intergalactic law to respect capsuleers and other new eden ships (with exceptions) there isn't much reason they wouldn't have completely impounded the ship, boarded it, and brought them in for questioning. the amarr empire takes outsiders extremely seriously
Could have gone out to clear the area of pirate activity and received bounty payments from CONCORD.
Resurrected Starships, I have a few Vs ideas for you if you are interested.
New story after part 3: Rifter vs. the USS Enterprise....
Nice series!
You've got one more sub!
Everybody here seems to be saying that the Empire can't win a territory war because of capsuleer alliances being massive, and the empire's lack of ability to recover from losses because their tech doesn't match.
Did anybody stop to think that maybe literally having Star Wars ships and characters is great for PR? You could recruit an army with that! Not to mention now that they've had some time to readjust to their surroundings, they could start to incorporate EvE tech into their own operations, learn about what kind of threats New Eden has to offer and act accordingly, using their own unique abilities to great effect?
I thought a 1000 years had passed since the battle of Endor? How is the empire still around?
It's not. The droid had a prerecorded message.
This is really awesome!
P.S question how dose the concord ambassador know the will try to take over territory?
They either don't know and just know that they're an unknown entity and provide the same canned warning as they do to everyone. Or they saw the actions of the other ships with similar designs and figured that this one had a similar goal.
pretty interesting. keep it up
Take a chunk of null sec from whoever's holding it? Good luck with that. Odds are it's a coalition that doesn't take such actions well. And wars in EVE have been started for less.
Oh I can feel the pipebombs
They could rent a system but there is no guarantee landlord will not backstab them.
WSpace is safer.
Renting with what exactly. They have zero ISk to their name let alone the billions someone would ask of them.
