New Empire at War video! We got early access to the upcoming Thrawn's Revenge version.
Eck did I ever tell you that I love you?

sooner or later the SSD was a death trap. Id argue as soon as the rebels got one, it became incredibly less survivable.
@@oriontheraptor8119 yeah i saw it on the news
Serving on the Executor makes your chances of running into Mr. Choky-Choky Vader DANGEROUSLY HIGH. I don't care how much guns we have, I AM NOT GETTING NEAR THAT GUY.
Given the size of the Executor class, unless you're duty station is on the bridge, you probably would have little chance of ever running into Vader. Chances are that he doesn't spend much time wandering the expanses of the ship and sticks mainly to his quarters and the bridge. If you're assigned to the bowels of the ship like in engineering or the enlisted mess deck(s) you should be pretty safe from ever seeing Vader. Of course, the problem with serving on Vader's flagship as even the lowliest enlisted man is that your officers are probably going to almost all be overachievers and will ride you much harder than an officer on nearly any other ship in the fleet all in the hopes of catching Vader's eye and getting promoted quicker.
@@Riceball01 Well, the bridge or the hangar bay...
@@Riceball01 he can choke from a distance. He just has to hear from your CO's CO that you screwed up and it's choke time.
just serve on the Lusankya instead, that ship spent most of its time grounded and even after taking to space, it survived right up until the Yuuzhan Vong war
Something Brakkk There were actually several Super Star Destroyers besides Vader's personal Pimpmobile. Some models, like the Eclipse Class, even came equipped with a slightly underpowered Death Star Beam, That could make a planet unlivable but not bust it. Serving on one of those might be better.
Ah The Chiss, You really did improve on the failings of imperial designs ...or to quote an Imp engineer "You have to admire the Chiss. They don't just steal your technology-they make it better."
Like The Chinese
@@CHEF-55457, I wonder How A Chiss Egg foo young Would taste, considering Chickens did not exist in their universe I imagine it would be something else... Hopefully not Mind spider eggs.
@@Salamanttis Simple: Whatever lifeform lays eggs and can fly...
@@CHEF-55457 Indeed
@@CHEF-55457 - the quote was not "You have to admire the Chiss. They don't just steal your technology - they make it cheaper by removing quality control and safety standards."
One of my favorites is the Carrack-class light cruiser. Heavily armed for its size, while also fast and maneuverable. It also had reinforced bulkheads and compartmentalization which made survivability very likely in the case of the ship's destruction, which in turn, made it very popular with its crew.
I could see that. Personally I would want to serve on the Carracks bigger brother, the Dreadnought Class Heavy cruiser. Slower and a bit more outdated, but it's got more armor and firepower, able to slug it out with bigger capital ships, but also has decent anti starfighter abilities. If it was say, a 12 Dreadnought wolfpack going against a pair or 3 ISD 2s, I'd put my money on the Dreadnoughts.😁 Especially since the dreadnoughts are well known for they're ion cannon capabilities.
@@griever3679 believe it’s stated a lone Dreadnought can stalemate a Victory class, something that takes like 4 Recusants to do, and funny enough I think it’s also stated in books that several Dreadnoughts working together could legitimately outgun an Imperial 1, happen to love both the Dreadnought and Carrack myself, great ships, really underrated
@@JoshDrakePendora the Thrawns Trilogy, in the second novel an imperial star destroyer, the Judicator is stalemated by Garm Bel Iblis squadron of 6 Katana Dreadnaughts
01:30 Interestingly enough, this WAS the reason why Excecutor never had shortages of volunteers to serve on it. Or rather, they believed that if it would happen, it would happen to someone else and they could get promoted to their place, or they could otherwise distinguish themselves there and climb ranks in days or weeks instead of years.
Serve in the Imperial Navy, Show them my strategic prowess, all for one purpose, for Thrawn to call me Competent
I agree. I would rather clean toilets on the Chimaera under Thrawn, then command any other ship. Especially the Executor with Vader skulking around strangling everyone who looked at him funny.
Achievement unlocked: Actual Happiness
good luck with that, you have to be exceptional to be called competent by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Even his own command staff was only 'adequate' at best in his determination.
Rembanspellsong Thrawn however was not like Vader, or many other commanders in the empire. Thrawn did not punish for mistakes. He believed that as long as someone under him were trying their best, and were actively trying to learn from their mistakes, that that was good enough for service.
Look at how he nurtured Eli Vanto’s tactical abilities (which, with him being a supply officer at the time, was nonexistent). Or look back at how he treated his crew on the Chimera when Vader was aboard making comments about how different they were.
And because of that Thrawn brought out the best in those he served with
@@speed150mphnot disputing that fact. just that to be 'competent' in his eyes, you had to do more then just the basics of your job. you had to excel. did you make a mistake and blame it on someone else? you are a failure to him. did you find a problem and do nothing? you need more training. did you find a problem and just report it like most imperial officers seem to do? good for you, you are doing the bare minimum. did you find a problem and try to fix it? excellent, you get promoted. he drove his officers to excel, and if you were not able to excel you were not 'competent'. you were merely adequate.
The only ship I would serve on is the one you command eck 😀😀
LOL
I will gladly fight aside you
@@justinurpants3702 aw. That's sweet
Thank you.
Is it because he's probably memorised what to do in every situation
wonder if on the executor they have an ultra marathon through all of the hallways 🤔🏃🏼♂️
They probably had trains inside the ship to get to different parts of it
For motivation Vader is all the way at the back of the marathon and If you don't run fast enough you get force choked
Good question
When Vader was angry he made an admiral run from tje front to the back of it.
Would be cool
1:35 to be fair, the chance to be Force-choked by Vader would possibly be seen as a plus for... _certain_ kinds of people

EckhartsLadder Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past. #askeck
J.Tastic Where is that from? It is familiar...
I would want to serve on most or all of these ships maybe besides the Executor SSD
Can you do a video on my upgraded Providence class vs either a First Order SD or a Empire SD or both one on one #ASKECK

TIE Fighters
Every ugly ever
I just had a realisation, due to the way Eck says their outro, the force is only with us until he releases his next video... meaning we have to watch the next one for his blessing to be renewed.... well played Eck
I know it has weak spots, but I would want to serve on a Imperial-class Star Destroyer. And off your list is a ship seen in the book Choices of One. The warlord Nus Evsa commands ships that can match 4 Imperial-class Star Destroyers by them self. They would have killed Thrawn if Thrawn hadn't summoned Vader and his Death Fleet to show up at just the right time.
What about the carrack light cruiser, They packed a lot of firepower, had great shield strength and speed, and it’s compartmentalize design allowed it to take massive damage while the crew can still survive even when the ship was destroyed
Exactly!
5 capital ships you would want to serve one: the ship that doesn't blow up
Or the one where the main characters are on. Guaranteed survival right there
so that one tie fighter
I have to disagree with you--unless you're in an Endor or Jakku-style 'Final Battle', a carrier is ALWAYS a priority target, empty or no, and there's no way I'd want to be on board one unless it's one of the combo Carrier/Dreadnought hybrid types.
On the other hand, yep, Executor-class all the way, babeeeeee!! (Just retrofit a duplicate bridge somewhere down in its guts and fight battles from there).
Agreed. WWII in the Pacific shows that to be the case. No carrier, nowhere for damaged fighters to retreat to or undamaged ones to get reloads for their weapons.
Secutor too
@@danielkorladis7869 Especially if you're carrying fighters with no hyperdrive.
The executor did have an auxiliary bridge in the city scape actually
Maybe an endurance, ach, which is always escorted by nebulas.
But yeah, when he chose rhe quasar of all choices. Wow
I hate the way Star Wars Rebels modeled their Star destroyers. The neck is way longer than it's supposed to be and it bothers me every single time I see them on screen.
Agreed
Agreed
Extendo neck lol
Are you talking about the starhawk or another model
If I wanted to choose a ship, I'd go with an MC90 star cruiser. It has better firepower than most Mon Calamari star cruisers
Gotta love the Moon Calamari cruisers.
JASOE the All-seeing Omnipresent Eye moon cala
I'd want to be on a Praetor II battlecruiser. They are POWERFUL starships, but they do not get put on frontline duty often, they just go on patrols and the like, and have a decent fighter complement to protect them.
The best survival ship I think is the “living” ship that lando, R2, and C3PO get stranded on during the Black Fleet Crisis. It heals, has OP weapons, and can literally restart a civilization.
Quasars were paper tho, it might survive if it can launch its fighters, but many could easily be destroyed before they even fly out
As a commander I would even target them. Since they are practically free targets after their fighter launch and can screw up the enemy's tactic if their fighter carrier is destroyed.
@@Esvald not so true for rebel alliance thou they would launch and get the fuck out of there
Said *Home One* or generaly MC80/90s before watching the video.
State of the art and competent fighter / bomber complement.
Great shielding and protection.
Neither too big nor too small.
Greater survivability imo than the avarage Star Destroyer.
@Jordan Alexander For sure, I def agree.
Yeah but all they're really useful for tanking and taking down shields due to the low firepower and ridiculous (for it's armament) amount of ion cannons
@@amazoncouch7116 not actually, the MC90 in particular had firepower that could even surpass the ISD
instead of the Quasar I’d choose the Gladiator class SD just because of the sheer mass and also having two less exposed hangers
Wasn't the Quasar prone to electronic failure or something similar? I mean it might be ok to serve as a pilot but if you're a technician most of your time will be spent in cramped crawl spaces burning your fingers on a soldering iron
you should make videos on starfighters you WOULD and WOULD NOT want to pilot
And just based on the starfighters abilities, not the war it was in.
For example: The ARC-170 was a good ship, just not in furballs with droid tri fighters.
But to start the list, most basic Tie's without shields, No
The Tie Defender and Phantom, hell yes.
X- Wings, yes.
Headhunters were good in their day (especially if fitted aftermarket hyperdrives).
Jedi fighters no. (No shields, hyperdrive via ring).
The list goes on, any suggestions?
Gimme a TIE Defender any day of the week.
Everyone always forgets the venerable workhorse the Carrack-class Light Cruiser. I very tough and durable frigate level ship, well armed but an older model so often kept as a patrol/defense ship or large dignitary transport. Plus designed with such good compartmentalization you could survive even after multiple hull breeches. Survivors had been rescued from utterly dismembered hulks.
This would be one thing where if you included Warhammer 40k, it wouldn't win. The Grimdark got it's name for a reason and you basically wouldn't want to be on any ship.
Or off them either
Isn't that the whole deal, though? Star Wars fans want to be in the Star Wars universe. Star Trek fans want to be in the Star Trek universe. WarHammer 40k fans want nothing to do with being in the WH40k universe.
It's 40k. BEING in that universe is "You Lose."
So I see you didn't mention the Vengeance. Too many bad memories? LOL Good vid brother looking forward to another Star Wars Empire at War Twitch Episode. Peace and much luck to you and your family.
I would serve on a luxury cruise liner.
MIND BLOWN!
The serving isnt luxury though.
@@2MeterLPUsually in luxury ships the staff quarters aren't bad, and back massaging some rich person is easier than manning a turbolaser.
He said they would have to be war ships, otherwise it’s pointless
Unless it is the Lady Luck or other ship owned by Calrissian.
And then space piracy happens
for me it would be the Keldabe-class or the Kandoii-class dreadnought.
I think the Chiss Star Destroyer you are referring to is the Ascendancy-class.
The Ascendancy-Class is not in legends, it was based off the Chiss star destroyers description and made for Thrawn's Revenge, it's a fanon ship.
You know of any ship I would serve, would be the Surpremacy.
Since it’s escorted by dozens of high class RSD. Plus it’s on a constant move. To avoid attacks.
And it almost never has to stop because of the factories (+does it have farms for food? idk) on board. But he pointed out he is gonna talk about the five special ships great in it's role me thinks.
@@nfineon You could have a whole fleet of Supremacy class, and the last thing they would hear would be a chorus of drawn out masculine screams, "IT'S MAM!!!!!!!"LOL
Blacklight Virus vs The Flood
Rematch
315th Attempt
Scenario: Both have a fresh start. Both start in a modern day city of 1 million people. Both start on opposite ends of this city. Neither side may leave this city for this match-up do to a magical barrier closing them inside of it. Another barrier separates the city evenly, along with the population being split evenly as well. Both have one day to infect as many people as possible before the middle barrier vanishes, allowing both sides to enter each others territory. Both sides must fight to the death until only one remains standing. Neither side may infect the other. Who wins?
#AskEck
Can you do an episode on food in the Star Wars universe? Dishes, MREs, stuff like that?
Jesse that would actually be pretty cool lol
Great vid, I always learn something new even about relatively well know ships keep up the quality content my giy
"Once the Quazar lets off it's launched all it's fighters, it's basically no longer a target."
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...AHHH....AHAHAHAHAHAHA.. no bro. Just no.
Yeah, carriers serve in any longer engagement to refit, refuel, rearm, and repair their fighters. For SW terms, this could be something as simple as reloading proton torpedoes after your Y-Wings shot them all at a capital ship. They absolutely remain high-value/high-payoff targets, ESPECIALLY if their fighters are busy elsewhere. The Quasar Fire is the only problem I had with this list. The rest are pretty solid choices.
@@Noble713 Also I heard the Quasar gives you a chance of literally dying ever time it enters hyperspace, they had a design flaw that resulted in the shields glitching in hyperspace or something along the lines of that.
@@winters4147 no it's when you exit hyperspace and it's due to the way it is made. effectively micro-fractures appear over time when exiting hyperspace and eventually without proper maintenance the ship can come out of hyperspace and enough of the microfractures have built up and the hull just fails catastrophically.
Yeah even if a carrier's entire fighter compliment is wiped out it can still serve as a repair and refit station for other fighters, not to mention carriers by their nature usually have a fairly robust anti fighter armament making them a useful part of a defensive screen. Personally I tend to make carriers my priority target in any game I play just due to those things.
You know Eck I've been watching your videos for a while now and, now I want to make my own sci fi epic, so thanks!
The Raddus was a great ship
(Unless a certain purple haired girl happens to be onboard)
It has amazing shields that could stop many many blasts from the Supremacy's huge guns.
Wasn't that because the Raddus' shields were all focused on the back, where the Supremacy's cannons were hitting?
That's kinda why 3 Ties managed to destroy the bridge and a hangar in one or two runs. I'm sure if shields were distributed evenly, it wouldn't be as able to shrug off fire.
I think I'd wanna go with Thrawn & Ezra so I could tell you what it was like. :D
Also...
33rd!
Man that Outro makes me smile every time.
I have a question for anybody that wants to answer how would you refit the CIS Providence class to be an effective ship for the resistance and or rebellion. I would move the bridge from the front of the ship more to the hulls center mass and not on the outside of the hull and used multiple different sensor systems to be able to see and fight in combat, I would change and upgrade the shield system with mon-cala style shields like the kind on there cruisers, upgraded its main armament with new turbo lasers in turrets and more of then all over the hull and not mostly focused in fixed forward firing positions also I would add plethora of point defense weapons and anti fighter missile launchers, and the last 3 things I would do is make most systems automated the same way the some of the New Republics new capital ships are add multiple separate fire control systems half for the point defense weapons and the other for the main weapons lastly I would get rid of the observation deck and the fin it is attached to. I would however keep the hanger and store both the newest version of A-wings and the newest version of X-wings and if possible also have a few Y-Wings the A-wings would help defend the ship the X-wings and Y-wings would help attack the enemy's fleet. I'm not a Star Wars fanatic but I do like the Star Wars franchise most likely because I am a World War 2 fanatic. After seeing the video on how to upgrade a Super Star-destroyer my mind went on how would I do that on the CIS Providence class for a few reasons 1 I like the ships design 2 I see a design that if some of its major flaws are fixed it could become a very potent ship in combat. After all these upgrades and changes I feel that a Providence class could fight one on one against a First Order SD. So what are yours And do you think my upgraded Providence class could win? And how would you upgrade it? #ASKECK
Standard request incoming:
Cylons vs UNSC video.
I will continue this standard request.
This is good. I want it
I disagree with putting the Quasar Fire on this list. It canonically had structural weaknesses, which would make it less survivable and more maintenance-intensive. It's also a high-value target, as it offers a protection and refueling for starfighters and military force projection in general over a wide area, especially for the Empire and other factions whose strike craft tend to lack FTL travel. Dedicated carriers also tend to be less well armed than other ship types, so if they wind up in the thick of battle with no way to get out of dodge, they're toast.
I'd put credits down on a Victory II as being balanced enough to go through a capital ship engagement while still having the means to fend off fighters.
Tbh I think the victory 2 is the best designed imperial ship as it has fighter support,ion cannons, turbolasers and laser cannons, as well as good shielding, hull strength and engines for it's size.
@@amazoncouch7116 True, that. And worst case scenario? You can LAND.
Oh god, that ending!🤣 The Corgi gag was, hands down, the BEST part of this video!
What about the Carrack-class light cruiser? It was designed with added safety devices and compartmentalized with independent life support, so finding crews alive even after the ship was just wreckage was not uncommon.
Number 1 should be the Night Hammer. Its ENTIRE CREW escaped due to its massive hyperspace capable escape craft. The user friendly signs and travel cars make navigation easy and it used less than half the crew so its far roomier and comfortable
Unless the Quasar has a external indicator marking _full/empty_ (like a red or green signal flag?) it's still going to be a target cause it's a _cheap kill_ and inconveniences the enemy as now their non hyperspace fighters are now stuck, fighters can't dock for resupply and quick repair mid battle, and it can't do command and control for its fighters that are launched.
And without the _we're empty_ running lights or flag, the enemy may hope to get a few fighters waiting to launch, the reserve. Are they supposed to enquire beforehand as to its current inventory?
And in the opening stages of a battle, especially a ambush, it is *target #1,* before it has launched its compliment.
Rebels jump out of hyperspace without warning and a whole bunch of proton torpedoes are going into your launch bay before the pilots have scrambled.
It's the smartest Rebel tactic, one Thrawn himself would use if the situations were reversed.
Carracks gave external racks to carry TIEs on, so you can tell if their fighters are all launched or not. Also given they had no hangar bay they would you not be able to re-up/repair fighters in battle
How about a video covering 5 Halo Ships you would want to serve on?
Definitely NOT in the UNSC. They're bad at keeping their crew alive.
@@copycat7685 except the infinity, that shit's op
Great doc. With this kind of material who needs the star wars celebration crappola.
I would add the Liberator Cruiser to the list. Carrying 72 fighters and decent amount of heavy weapons and a strong shield made this ship far more pwerful than its size might indicate. Adding to it survivability is that it would not be the focus on an Imperial fleet with Star Cruisers to worry about.
Great video and these ships are awesome and cool I would be on these ships.
You should do a video on who/what is the oldest STILL ACTIVE/ALIVE droid in the star wars galaxy
If that includes Legends then it'd be HK-47 without a doubt.
Replicators vs a Unified Star Wars Universe (All Races and Eras Combined)
265th Attempt
I’d serve on the Republic Venator “Negotiator”! Because of the Massive Hanger runway and The many surprises that may appear or arrive on the cruiser like Meeting General Kenobi or working alongside Several Jedi or Clone commanders!
MC90 vs Nebula Star Destroyer. Who would win?
Probably Nebula Star Destroyer
LMFAO! "a random a wing pilot flew into your bridge" hitting the nail right on the head I see?
Just like Arvel Crynyd
Can you do ships that are best for orbital blockade
daddy pool For defending the planet or keeping enemies from escaping, kind of blockada?
Basically Star Destroyers are best for that.. least in SW verse.
@@robertagu5533 I think lucrehulks are better
A mix of Interdictor cruisers (to prevent retreat) and either Victory star destroyers OR Hapan Battle Dragons for their ion cannons... because you want to capture blockade runners, not destroy them.
Now let’s have 5 clone legions you would want to serve in
Not 501st, that's for certain. Unless you're a main character, you're screwed
@@Sigma-gb9yd well, at least you would still be employed by Vader
trying agian for some B5 love or non Star Wars Factions
Babylon 5 the Earth defense of Earth vs the covenant attack.
Or the Halo defense of Earth vs the Minbari attack.

The Babylon 5 universe vs ether something from the Star war universe or the HALO universe I would love to see some Babylon 5 love once.
Factions
Fighters non Star Wars. Babylon 5, HALO, Stargate, the Last Starfighter, Battlestar Galactica or Space: Above and Beyond
Capital ships non Star Wars.
What Faction has the best planet attack capability
Hey Eck, I believe you have a video on capital ship shields but there is still an aspect that is unclear to me so I thought I'd ask. My question is how do ships in star wars fire weapons and launch fighters when their shields are up? Do they open gaps in them similar to halo or are the shields just down at that point? #AskEck
I agree. I mean, there are some weapons that requires you to lower the shields to open fire on the target.
@@princeofpokemon2934 I'm pretty sure its cannon that ground based weapons meant to strike capital ships in orbit need a gap in a planetary shield but I am much more unsure how cannon treats capital ship shields and weapons
One A-wing... ONE FUCKING A-WING! and the coolest ship in any space lore I've come across goes down...
You mentioned the Legacy era, and I'd specifically highly the Imperius- it was a technological improvement that, while only moderately bigger than the already well-designed Pellaeon, packed notably more capabilities. It was faster/tougher/more powerful and an indication of not just a scale increase but a pound for pound one, on top of being in the fairly advanced legacy era to begin with.
Can you please do witch sci fi faction has the best planetary weapon QEP Alamac (Subnautica) Ion cannon rebels (Star Wars) Mass driver UNSC (Halo)
Starkiller Base won
I would want to serve on the Olympus Mons from call of duty infinite warfare.
Only if someone shot the Admiral, he was a serious needless waster of his own men.
Some very gd choices but if I was allowed to decide on which ship I could serve on it would be The Resurgent-class Star Destroyer I just love it
Wouldn't the Quaser carried be targeted in order to strand the fighters if they were damage?
I would like to serve on an Superstardestroyer, because its so hard to destroy and you can survive on it a long time
The Malovelence could be interesting because it can just Ion Cannon all Captial Ships and if it had good fighter defense it theoreticaly could be very strong.
Id serve on the carrion spike. Because of its small size and who better to serve under than tarkin. Also it seems to me a very interesting ship with its cloaking
I would want to be one of those guys on the bride who controls the engines, guns, and shields and stuff like that seems like it would be fun
I wouldn't want to serve of an executor class SSD as the hole A-Wing crashing into the bridge has essential made it a meme ship but not because it was bad ass more like a joke at its expense. Like can destroy an entire fleet but gets taken down by one suicide A-Wing once shields were down lol. I also woudn't want to be a tie fighter pilot at least of the empire I mean anything can kill you or disable you like even the smallest of space rocks could damage your wing enough to be stock out in space and would suck when your alone trying send out distress signal for ship to come get you lol. And If you hit an Asteroid your going to explode on impact or bounce around like ping pong ball against several before you do explode. However I think would like Gazanti cruiser or freighter class I know its slow and vulnerable but I just love the ability to deploy 2 to 3 AT-AT walkers just outside the enemies doorstep planet side lol.
#AskEck Space Battleship Yamato Vs 3 ISDs.
PS thanks for the distraction from the Notre Dame fire
I was in math when the spire fell... a shame
I think the malevolence should be on the list since it had the powerful ion cannon which was able to disable several ships at a time and leave them completely defenseless
Well... that makes for good *offense* , but for defense...
I love ur theory’s
imo id probably would of put the venator for the carrier over the quasar, due to it being a battleship/carrier hybrid, and designed to take a hit or 2...and by that logic, possibly the resurgent battlecruiser as well
One of the best in my opinion is the Providence class destroyer (like the Invisible Hand).
Because of it's great fire power, it's not-over-the-top-and-easily-targetable bridge, and because it's a well balanced mix between a carrier and a battle cruiser. Armed to the teeth with a ton of Vulture droids to assert air superiority.
Also, the fact that these ships could carry tons of droids and material, making them almost able to conquer a planet on their own.
The Nebula is a death trap. Like modern carriers without its fighters its just a missile magnet. A Venator could at least take a beating and give as good as it got.
Mad Rabbit The Nebula is a destroyer, not a carrier. It was noted to having some of the most durable shields and hull around and very very powerful Turbolasers, Ion Cannons, And Torpedos.
@@devinbrock4596 The Nebula is a hanger with engines and enough bunk space for the pilots and deck crews and the hangers aren't even that well protected. The Imperial escort carrier has far superior protection for the hangers at least.
@@devinbrock4596 Sorry, I meant the Quasar, gonna make that correction
I think I prefer the Starhawk. Since it has good defense and offense, it is also well armored. And I want to see on board one when it drags a SSD into the planetside with its powerful tractor beam.
You should totally do a video on Moomin and how he came back to life trough the portal on mustafar on Vader Fortress.
Ok sooo is papa palpatine coming back for episode nine 😂
Great vid love Star Wars ships
Even without its fighters the Quasar carrier and still an asset and therefore a valid target.
"Oh no, not again." °🥗(bowl of petunias)
Just picking around Eckharts. I'm just a Sci-fi dweeb who enjoys your genius nerd channel. 🤜🤛
Oh, finally somebody who can appreciate The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...
Great Video never knew there were so many different Star Destroyers (I found a bunch of images of different chiss star destroyers sent them to you on Instagram look for EternalLuedizer if you want doesn't really matter to me)
(Not in any order)
1. The Lucrehulk class battleship due to its huge fighter capacity and defensive armaments
2. The Gladiator class star destroyer due to its strong missiles/turbolasers, relatively small size, and a significant number of point defense lasers
3. The Bellator class dreadnought due to its design based around speed (for a dreadnought) and firepower for the purpose of hunting lesser capital ships which is a really interesting idea
#askeck
How would the Star Wars Universe under the Galactic Empire react to a Crusade by the Emperium of Man? For example would the Rebels unite with the Empire in order to fight such a powerful and insanely inhumane, genocidal enemy?
One of eck's old videos is about just that
Harrower/fury-class dropship all the way, with the nubian j-type diplomatic barge from ep3 as a personal pleasure vessel
hey eck i have to say that if you take out the hole sith crew thing the harrower is one of the best designed ships i have seen in the series. its weapons are well placed (broadside or forward, arcs) it has a good fighter capacity and with its modular refit capability .... it also does not suffer from the SD habit of having a hyper obvious bridge. dunno what you think though
Have you ever thought about us voting on polls for your videos again? It was one of my favorite parts of your channel!
For the dedicated carrier slot, i would argue for the secutor star destroyer. 2.2k of star destroyer that gets to be 2nd line in a fight behind actual star destroyers and courtesy of its HUGE complement of TIEs, the point defense weakness is nullified.
One of these days, could you talk about what it would take to build some of these ships, how long it would take to build them, and costs? That would be awesome
Resurgent class star destroyer is good as well. Better armour protection and more fire armed
Thanks for addressing the battlefront turbolasers
I just noticed in the Dreadnoughts clip at 3:20. Why didn't the smaller ships hide in the shadow of the larger one until they were ready to jump? It looks as if they "ascended" right into the line of fire.

With the influx of canon material and the lack of legends, are you planning on delving more heavily into canon info in the future because that would be amazing!!
Sadly the 'canon' is all stolen legends material and perverted passionate constructs
I mean... I think it’s good but you do you
for starship vs can you do viscount star defender vs covenant supercarrier
I have a question about the nebula star destroyer what is the purpose of the wings on the under side of the ship
I’d want a Carrack Light Cruiser: fast, tough, and survivable
If brute strength doesn't work, you're not using enough.
Well said tech priest. The imperiums motto.
4:00 - that's Ton-Falk class carrier, actually. Although WHY the kriff the Empire would name a class of carrier after one of their DEFEATS escapes me...
They built a second Death Star after the first one was destroyed LITERALLY A WEEK AFTER IT BECAME OPERATIONAL. That’s just propaganda.
The USS Alamo would like a word with you.
