    The Arc Hammer is a factory ship by design. It manufactures its own replacement parts, strike craft, and Dark Troopers. The entire logistical need of the Arc Hammer is held within the Arc Hammer itself. All it needs is raw material from outside the ship and the ship itself can refine the raw material into whatever is needed. That's the greatest strength of the Arc Hammer, self sufficiency allowing to for it to beat the enemy at their own game.

    To be fair shed, the biggest strength of the arc hammer is beating the rebels at their own game; also the tie bomb has a *huge* blast radius and has enough power to 1/2 hp a dreadnought, 1 shot some enemy carriers, or severely damage enemy warships/destroy fighter blobs.

    2:53 Yes, there were B1 snipers. They were called B1 assassins, and were present in both the OG Battlefront games and CW 2003. They were extremely deadly and had rapid-firing E5s sniper rifle. Perhaps too much of a risk to Palpatine's plans to mass produce, since the CIS may well have been able to take out important command staff and soldiers like ARC troopers if the B1 assassins were more common.

I mean clones are biologicaly programed to fight and would probably have an easier time dealing with B1 snipers. But TK troopers would take years of training before being posted on their first assignment. Not to mention most TKs don't know the droids' tactics, advantages, and weaknesses as well as the clones. So unless there are former Republic officers who know how the droids think, then the TK troopers would not fair well against B1 snipers.

      It would need raw materials though. And while Dark Troopers and drone ties are a good project it seems a waste to produce suicide weapons like the Tie Bomb.
      Never was a fan of kamikaze units. Spur of the moment last resort I get but relying on it is just wasting your own troops and supplies.

      ​​@@AgentofLADONhow do they "rely" on it?
      Also, the tie bomber doesn't have a pilot so no troop waste, kinda the whole point of the tie droids.
      And frankly, I don't see how sending a tie sized bomb directly out of a factory ship will waste any more resources than producing a tie bomber, training a pilot, sending both off to a ship, then launching a squadron of said bombers to their near inevitable deaths at the hands of enemy fighters or PD. If they most likely aren't gonna come back either way, might as well make the most of it.
      The exact same logic applied to real life kamikaze planes. If there's a decent chance you aren't gonna come back, and a decent chance you'll miss as well, might as well make sure you actually hit em, and for as much damage as possible.
      On the surface it seems wasteful and inefficient, but with more context it's less clear.

      @@AgentofLADON A bomber requires more parts, and crew members who will more likely die.
      A Tie BOMB requires just the normal controls, no controls inside of it, and the explosives. A bomber requires everything the pilot needs, as well as all of the weapon systems.
      It is a cruise missile VS a tactical bomber. There's a reason why we've leaned away from using big heavy bombers and likely won't use them in any big wars again.
      Also, the buzz droids are excellent. They've taken Anakin, one of the best pilots, down multiple times before, and function as area denial. They're also dirt cheap (One of the cheapest droids built for any use in combat). They also also work as scouts.
      Logistically, the Tie BOMB makes... sense. Why build a bomber that you now have to escort with fighters, and just risk losing a pilot AND the craft. When you can use a tie BOMB that if it does get shot down, takes out the entire enemy formation with it. Allowing the next one to punch further through.

    TIE Bombs aren't affected by missile jamming or point defense, pretty sure. I presume they also do a lot of damage all at once.
    Mobile Space Starions are good in defensive battles. This is because you can stack them over other stations. So if you have a Golan 3, you can give it some decent anti-fighter capability and repairs/support by placing the Mobile station right behind the G3. I mean, having 4 Golans doesn't matter if the enemy can attack them all individually.
    And yeah, I would go for a remaster as long as most mods were still compatible. Would definitely want a few new features such as selectable bombing runs/bombardments, a path indicator for bombing runs, ground forces that can take up more than 1 ground slot/tac pop cap, and an easier way to make different units have a collective build limit.

      Star: "Excellent, and the status of our reinforcements?"
      Kovol: "Flowing from the Core to Terephon at best speed. General Veers is overseeing them. Admiral Faro really came through for us. That interdictor will put an end to these Hapes once and for all."

      Star: "Commander Barrick, something is wrong i take it?"
      Barrick: "Yes, that pilot you've been trying to help has not been reporting for duty. He's routinely been absent from from patrol duty. Locked away in his quarters. I understand he's... different, but i can tolerate his behavior no longer."
      (Star sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.)
      Star: "I will deal with it Commander."
      Barrick: "I honestly don't know why you keep him around. That man is exactly the kind of failure we'd remove or terminate. The man is clearly unstable and unfit for combat duty. He's unhinged, he assaulted you for goodness sake Elias."
      Star: "When we first arrived to command Death Squadron, yes. I believe he can overcome. He's a troubled man yes, but he has shown improvement. Slow as it may be, but he has become better. Normally I'd agree with your assessment but in him i don't see an arrogant imperial but instead a man needing help. If he can reach his full potential his contributions to the fleet could be great.
      Although, perhaps more forceful action should be taken. Captain Kovol, send the 501st's second regiment to the next set of targets and have the pilot's squadron fly escort and provide air cover."
      Barrick: "How will that help?"
      Star: "His girlfriend is part of the second Regiment. He will not abandon her."
      Kovol: "Yes, should we instruct them to take prisoners?"
      Star: "Negative. Those are supply bases. I want them razed. That should brighten the pilot's attitude..."

    Captain's Log
    Orbit of Terephon
    Week 159
    It has been a couple months since I last did this.
    A while back, I took part in a mission to save the governor of Cato Nemoidia from Black Sun pirates. During that raid, I was captured by Hapan corsairs. The six weeks I spent in prison were not kind to me. I was blinded, given new scars, I lost at least twenty pounds, on top of already being on the thinner side, and part of my hair turned white. The members of the fleet I am part of rescued me, and the prisoners I was with. For my actions during the raid that I got captured in, and for leading an uprising at the prison I was at, I got a medal and a promotion.
    I was only just recently cleared for my return to the frontlines. During that time, much has happened. First, I missed all of the fun. Lucius and the rest of the Fourteenth burned any and all systems across the Hapes Consortium, destroying any and all facilities the Hapes had to cripple their military. Second, a decent amount of systems have already been taken. Everything to the north of Terephon has been taken.
    Things have been much worse, meanwhile, in the galactic south. A massive fleet of Black Sun warships was sent against the Imperial section of the Rimma Trade Route. Thyferra just managed to repulse an enemy fleet, and Admiral Turner's fleet were, in turn, repulsed from an attack of their own.
    In the meantime, I am back and reaquainting myself with the fleet. A bunch of other Tanarithian regiments are with the fleet for the moment, ones that are not used to the 14th's allies. That's not to say they hate them. Most of them actually love Admiral Star.

    "The pirates are causing trouble in the southern portion of the inner rim. The ground of Thyferra was attacked, though our ground defences there fended them off, then they switched focus almost immediately to Abregado-Rae which was overwhelmed both in orbit and on the ground almost instantly...

    Imp Rep 35 - The present issues with front are ones where the ISB really feels the strain in the fighting of this war. The Rebels and their Black Sun allies strike at us from all sides, and while progress has been made on building up the Imperial fleets, they have not yet reached a point where we can just push in every direction. And some things are fairly delicate. Commodore Shed is still at Ithor, but has sent reports that would suggest he is scouting the region to his east with probe droids and other external intelligence reports... which may indicate an intent to liberate Myrkr but wanting to do so in a way that achieves the best possible result. Either that or Shed has the same navigational skills as his brother and is looking for where Myrkr is. For the moment, we cannot be sure on which.
    In the meantime, the Black Sun has been active on the southern edge of the core and has been moving around with a relatively large brawling fleet that the local garrisons wouldn't be able to stop in space. It was strong, and this has panicked a good many of the Moffs in the region, who then pressured the Byss Defense Fleet to come back from its position over Druckenwell. And this is where the problems set in. Needa and his new fleet is still under construction at Kuat, Vader's fleet is still in Hapan space, Shed's fleet is at Ithor, and Ozzel is at Sullust. Most of the rest are garrison forces guarding isolated outposts or haven't been attacked yet. From what the Imperial high command reports, the thing that they truly need is time to build the forces necessary... but one could see a reason for pulling forces back toward the Fondor region because of how quiet the area around Druckenwell and even in the south near Sullust has been.
    The ship captains of the Byss Defense Fleet, which had been waiting for ground troops to reinforce them at Druckenwell then began filing complaints to the ISB that the Moffs in the southern part of the core were "traitorous cowards" for "denying them their desired victory they were waiting for." And this can be very serious for us at the ISB. As loyalty to the Emperor is the most important thing in the Empire. Far too many men who've had "Imperial" ideas have left or turned to the Black Sun because they didn't personally support the Emperor. However, as our agents investigated on these worlds, the "worst" they could find was that the Moffs were afraid of things the Black Sun may do while that big fleet was present and there was no regional fleet to protect them. In this, there was no disloyalty and the ISB was sent on a wild chase after traitors that didn't actually exist. It makes me wonder as to just runs the Empire... the military with its lack of civilian knowledge or the Moffs with their lack of military knowledge, as they would both seem to be at odds with each other.
    The Black Sun forces continued to rampage... failing to take one world in the region, but successfully taking a different one before the Byss defense fleet arrived in the region. And in their anger at being pulled away from Druckenwell, it would seem that they failed to set any fleet controls, which ended up bringing in several ground units into the space battle. The fleet commander fought a strong battle, destroying several of the brawling ships and a few of their supporting ships as well... but he also lost nearly all the ground forces he had with him in the blind attack. May these notes go to the military to not BLINDLY send out accusations about things they don't know about. They only make our work at the ISB tougher. Secretary Boss Mann, ISB.

    Ations report 12:
    Commodore Turner, Imperial Venator “Enterprise”
    226th defense fleet.
    Location: Fondor sector
    The report finally seems to have broken through the jamming, damn pirates seemed to have found or communication codes and have been blocking our reports to command. To say now that we have been busy is another statement the higher ups will brush aside.
    Fondor, a world that my fleet once assisted in readying their defenses to match that of ‘The Wall’ of Byss, fell while we were stuck in the south, the battle to retake it was halted however as we were forced to break the pirate scum at Abregado-Rae. Their brawler fleet and a few well known individuals among their ranks up against a battlegroup lead by the Strikefast, a vessel I commissioned to take the Enterprises place as the command during local combat operations while I oversaw the fleets whole formation. Doing so left me with time to prepare for the eventual resettling and diplomacy that would allow myself to ensure this sector, once secure would be sympathetic to my and my ‘friends’ way of thinking.
    However, what was going to be a cleanup, was a failure on all accounts, to many lives were lost on a failure to make formation, and a majority of my most seasoned captains were killed or captured from their escape pods with their remaining crews, probably to work in the repurposed mines below.
    We are now alone, cut off from backup on the last remaining imperial holdouts in the sector, picking up as many of the imperial military as we can, I’m unsure if we will make it out alive, but…we have to have hope that Imperial command is losing enough credits to make it their problem…because it’s always when they are threatened that anything gets down down this side of the Galaxy, while the new Moff Gallivants in the north with his territory….maybe gaining my own claim of space isn’t such a bad idea?

      [Star would be saddened to hear of Turner's troubles but in Hape space communications are hard to send out. He's pretty isolated at the moment. If you care to read my journal entry sort the comments by new and scroll to the bottom. My comment was the first one this time.]

    Those larger turrets on the land battles should be given something to counter their terrible accuracy. Something like a really high range. Otherwise they almost seem like a waste against anything other than big vehicle targets.

We can't allow the Black Sun to have it's feet dug in. I am going to be going to Byss soon. I take it you can defend the north? I must be going now. Moff Pisces out.

    I know I've taken Hapes by using AT-ATs to shell the base structures from the north. It's basically take out one turbo laser and you get free access to them. You can even walk AT-ATs close enough to hit the base structures from the north. Map needs a rework imo, the AI isn't smart enough to realize it will lose if the attacker's artillery is allowed to survive.

    Regarding an EaW remake/remaster: just do it like the Homeworld collection. Keep the original 32 bit exe as part of the product, but include a new 64 bit version. That way people can continue to play existing/old mods, and modders can start the work of porting over to the new/upgraded engine.

    Moff Shed (stacking more and more capital and supercapital ships in his bloated personal armada): "Yes, yes, we're losing key warship production facilities due to the dire lack of military assets in the galactic south, but has anyone considered that I need another ten regiments of stormtroopers to continue my human-wave tactics?"

  • @ChristopherMocko
    @ChristopherMocko 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Since you have T3 infantry, don't sleep on the Death troopers. They have 2 or 3 snipers per squad which are hands down the best anti infantry weapon in the game. Anything that survives the withering sniper fire on the approach gets shredded and vaporized by frags and thermal detonators. The only single downside to Death Troopers is that you're limited to 5 of them. They are the empires BEST infantry IMO.
