I don´t know. Unless you have Jar Jar leading your forces they are a pretty competent bunch. They have those plasma globes that can shut down droids and their tanks.
Yeah but when you think about it, they could have created weapons to shoot those balls at a distance (we know they have the technology to make guns with their whole underwater city), but instead they use slings and catapults.
HaloBaller9813 it would help a lot, wouldn't it? I have an alternate strategy for that battle where he lost Yularen, mind reading? He had 5 Venators, right? 10 ARC squadrons in total, right? What if... With the stealth ship in command, he uses it to scout the enemy position, he becames awere the enemy has not only a carrier, but also a Providence dreadnought. Now he brings all his ships away from the enemy. Once all fighters are launched, he divedes the ARCs in three groups, two with three squadrons, the last with four. All V-wings advance to the enemy position, followed by the ARCs with S-foils locked and then by the larger ships. The V-wings would draw fire away from the ARCs, then, he would perform cirurgical bombing runs. The first and second group of ARCs would go after the carrier hangars, the third would destroy the station shield projector. Then, with those ARCs that attacked the carrier, he would focus on the station launch bays, while the third group would destroy the shield generators of the carrier and the Providences. Once the enemy capacity of replenish fighters is neutralized, the area must be clear of the remaining starfighters. By this point, the larger ships should have came to range, and they can destroy the enemy fleet losing nothing but free starfighters and maybe some support ships because of the Providences.
HaloBaller9813 yeah, your plan is good, first the hangars, then shields. And I agree with you, Shack could improve a lot. I find him distracted and unfocused, because of that, he makes bad decisions, misses tactical opportunities and is overall confused. And I try to help every episode, but he doesn't read my comments.
Goddamn it, just do a massive blockade on the south, conquer the planets at your leisure and make the north a choke point. Right now you’re fighting on too many fronts at once.
Hey Captain, as always nice to watch. For Bespin, no need for a full fleet, as long as its only the one transport Master Plo should be more then enough to break it. Just move him up from Bespin ground to space. That should free up the ground forces you need in the south.
Something you can do to make ground battles easier is to build heavy factories on your planets so you can have harder hitting garrison units and not cannon fodder. As for space having at least 1 Venator on every planet could help but, 8 donut ships are a bit much.
TheEvilDM there are better ways to do it. He had 5 Venators, right? 10 ARC squadrons in total, right? What if... With the stealth ship in command, he uses it to scout the enemy position, he becames awere the enemy has not only a carrier, but also a Providence dreadnought. Now he brings all his ships away from the enemy. Once all fighters are launched, he divedes the ARCs in three groups, two with three squadrons, the last with four. All V-wings advance to the enemy position, followed by the ARCs with S-foils locked and then by the larger ships. The V-wings would draw fire away from the ARCs, then, he would perform cirurgical bombing runs.

Once the enemy capacity of replenish fighters is neutralized, the area must be clear of the remaining starfighters. By this point, the larger ships should have came to range, and they can destroy the enemy fleet losing nothing but free starfighters and maybe some support ships because of the Providences.
Surgical* Remember that you have just driven all your own fighters away from the Venators, so any Droid fighters that got past have easy pickings on the Venators.
Tankdavid7 he had two Jedi and a support fleet, it should be enough to destroy any fighter or bomber that wouldn't be dealing with the V-wings and ARCs.
You really need to use your Jedi more. They're one of the primary strengths of the Republic. When you brought that in right after they took Eriadu, you could have easily taken the planet back with Mace, Anakin and Obi Wan. Possibly with any one of the three, since you would have had civilians spawning in their base area. You could have run some of them south to the sensor array, then waited for bombing runs/bombardments (probably not necessary, as the Jedi handle OG9s fairly well.) Also, you could have placed Plo Koon in space in the lead slot, then put one of your ground units into space in order to break the Bespin "Blockade." PK gets his Jedi Starfighter. Also, if you send two of them to a planet on a raid and win, it destroys the space station. This can be easier than taking on level 4-5 space stations. In my last play through, I took more worlds with Jedi, or Jedi with artillery support, than any other method.
Bro, if shack does get more troops and warships soon he won't get the core, and even if he did the core can't be everywhere, unlike an actual fleet, so please stop trying to get shack to lose the cis doesn't even need half as many planet as it has to produce money because the make so much of it, shack just need to make ship and troops and conquer planet one at a time.
Paul Wayne I don't know, bro. I think there are few better alternatives to the half-dozen-lucrehulks fleets that try to attack the core. And it can also be part of a fleet and reck enemy space stations.
He cant do that by spending all his money on the Pride of the Core, One Pride like 7 Venators and a couple Arquitens, if not more, and a pride can't be everywhere 7 venator can be, if not more.
The CIS can only hit the core from certain planets right now, and he only really needs to care about the ones with capital ship production yards, anyway. the Pride of the Core is more than enough to keep the Core locked down. What he needs to start doing is keeping his main capital ship producers safe and then start taking out theirs. The war is pretty much won once he gets space superiority.
Paul Wayne considering how easily he loses Venators, he may lose half of a regular fleet in a battle. The Pride of the Core can be damaged, but as long as he finishes a battle with a single subsystem left, it will be intact for the next battle.
You need use the star destroyer you just built, that ships only purpose is fighting other capital ships and make separate fleet for it or give it command of your biggest one and start making more
You can close the arcs s-foils and they still bomb stuff along with firing out of rear turrets, they just become faster and more effective, I used it on my campaign, it’s so effective.
You constantly have your ground troops in orbit, the 501st has been in orbit for several episodes now. You need to put your armies on the ground when waiting for an opening or else they will be sitting ducks.
I would say the planets you really need to take from the separatists are Geonossis, Hypori and Minnitoone because they are primary production facilities and Minnitoone can build the Malevolence.
So...the droids are soon to be scrap so I want to ask what's next...revamped empire at war?...they need to do a remake on this imagine what it would look like...although my half potato laptop may not handle it
A few episodes back you asked about "keeping the soft shells safe". My personal belief is that this refers to civilians and non combat units, keeping the untrained or undefended out of harms way.
Shack, remember that all the jedi you've got flying about with your fleets can take the lighter defended planets, so you don't always have to wait for the massive ground assault fleet to arrive. Use them for Sullas Van, since by the looks of it, CIS had nothing on that world aside from the station you just destroyed, so any troop on the ground would instantly take it. Jedi can also survive the spider walkers, since several of them can deflect the majority of the instadeath lasers. Not all of them can, though, so careful with it. Others, like Yoda, can heal themselves as well, so can take punishment and survive it well. Granted, Yoda can also deflect just about anything that doesn't explode, so.. He's insane for ground fighting.
Shack you need to focus on taking control of the core worlds so they can’t keep attacking corillia and all the other planets take the planets that are connected to the core and important planets that produce money and capital ships
Bryson Contreras I think he is too distracted and unfocused, because of that, he makes bad decisions, misses tatical opportunities and is overall confused with what is happening. And although the game doesn't rewards you for keeping your units alive, every ground battle becames a meat grinder with Shack.
To me it seems like he lost interest. He is in a really good position but the past 4 episodes or so, all he has been doing is complaining. "They are overwhelming me with fighters" Then build more anti-fighter ships and use them to cover the main fleet. The AI isn't making diverse fleets which makes them vulnerable to a well constructed fleet. Complaining about the AI not letting him have a breather when all it is doing is sending out 4 fleets at one time and they arrive once they complete the travel time. He could do the same if he wasn't spreading his resources too thin. Trying to wipe out the outer rim like he originally said he wasn't going to do.
I feel I post this comment at least several times per 1 of Shack's campaigns. The reason you got bombed on dathomir is the enemy had the sensor array. which you can learn from the minimap.
Hey Shake I love your vids man. It’s so fun to watch the struggle. For the big space stations I would recommend trying to take the ground first that will destroy the space station leaving the fleet by itself
Hey Shack, ive been playing Republic at War and I've found that Yoda commands a Venator in space battles, and even spawns two jedi knight star fighters at the start of the battle. I haven't seen you use him in space yet so I figured you didn't know. Loving the vids by the way!!
If there's a Venator in the fleet, he'll be aboard. But he does not have a personal one to command. I don't know about him spawning Jedi Starfighters. I do know that several Jedi are in their own fighters in space battle. Anakin, Obi Wan, Mace, Plo Koon... Oh, Kit Fisto also. One more I think, maybe Luminara.
Deusmortis That's strange cos I've just started a Republic at War GC (specifically the "From Ashes" map) and you start at level one with no Venators but Yoda still spawns in one
Odd. Maybe it varies based on scenario? Just started From Ashes. Yoda was on whatever other ship I sent with him. An Arquitens, in this case. When I sent him in as the lead ship, he was just in a transport. No matter what I do, he does not have a Venator.
Did it the other way as well, sending another ship first, then bringing Yoda in as a reinforcement. Yoda was in a shuttle. Are you mistaking the Arquitens for a Venator?
Hey shack it’s probably a good idea to take out the concussion missile launchers on ships/stations after you take out shield generators and hangers. It’s basically the reason why Yularen died. It’s takes a bit of micro but I think you can pull it off.
Bro, if shack does get more troops and warships soon he won't get the core, and even if he did the core can't be everywhere, unlike an actual fleet, so please stop trying to get shack to lose the cis doesn't even need half as many planet as it has to produce money because the make so much of it, shack just need to make ship and troops and conquer planet one at a time.
Skull 9 reporting in, Grand Admiral Shack. Here's my weekly strategy report : We should build up the core's space stations to tier5 and get them working on Venators for Core defense fleets. Main fleet keep being agressive.
Shack when you are going to attack a planet and your main production is to far away use near by planets that can provide as support fleets and you can also build lots of aclamators (if that's how you spell it) to out number quickly and win the battle
Hey bud, you may want to take your ground force just sitting in space off of Duro, because if your attacked your gonna either lose a lot of troops to stupid fighters, or lose the station with all its upgrades in a retreat
Omg shack that was brilliant the last 2 battles I've done I just brought in like 10 venators sit them back and send in the fighters giving them a taste of the fighter spam for a change.
Shack... Your primary target loses are the space battle... Focus more on the space then ground battle... Build battle ships in diff planet... Speed up the process
Captain I’m just gonna suggest what everyone else has seeing as I’ve played this mod many times now after watching some of your older videos. The Pride of the Core is one of the best ships in the mod and you need to focus on getting it. It can solo most of the fleets you’ve come up against due to how many bombers and V-wings it spawns.
Shack, you cannot afford to lose venators at your current rate of resupply; you need to be in mass production of Venators at least one capital ship producing planet while producing smaller ships and frigates is important, your Venators are your strongest ship available to you at a reasonable price and number. I would strongly recommend allocating one planet to constantly produce Venators for your fleets, as this will drastically affect the balance of power in space engagements.
Regarding Lucrehulks, I'd like to see them take a colossal amount of time to produce and have awful hyperspace speed so you don't really want them slowing down an attack fleet. Start the CIS off with a decent number of Lucrehulk cargo refits and borrow the upgrade system from Thrawn's Revenge(?) to turn them into Lucrehulk Battleships for about the cost of a Providence. Cargo refits would carry buzz-droid-less Vulture Droids in large numbers, while having only point defense. Battleships would carry Vulture Droids and Hyena Droids while having a decent number of turbolasers.
I think that shack should turn bespin into a production facility for ground units, then take the space above it, secure it, and he's liberated the south.
Quick tipp Take some time and just Look on all of TH-cam planets If These got a possibilty to build rafineries. Like eraidu for exampel has the possibilty. Also keep in mind that you have to build barracks before you are abel to build those money-printing facilities
Shack you need to build up a fleet with that star destroyer and start hitting those separatist controlled worlds below Duro and open up a second route to Bespin
Shack start using More Mid tier cruisers like Pelta's, Dreadnoughts, Carracks and Arqeutins, they provide a numbers advantage while also bringing to bear deccent fire power.
Yeah shack i would love to see you get the pride of the core that star destroyer and admiral yularin and get them together with your main fleet with obi wan and anikan and just wreck fleets with it!
Xp gamer: all ships fire at the sullust space station!!! Admirals starring at fully equipped enemy ships positioned right next to them that a firing at them with full force:😐
you keep forgetting you have that one ship that can go stealth. so instead of possibly losing a ship send in the invisible one to scout it out. it could possibly be useful when going after space stations as well.
Hi, probably somebody mention it before but mace talking about banthas is a reference from the movie pulp fiction where samuel jackson’s character says he doesnt it pork because he considers it a filthy animal
If you're thinking about starting a new series cap, it would be awesome if you finished Republic Commando or just did it from the start (if you've lost your save or something). I have been waiting for the return of this series for 3 years now and I will still be waiting. Take care Shack!
Dammit, I told you last week that your "hyperspace in right on their faces" strat was too aggressive, and that it was going to cost you. What you want to do is hyperspace in near the edge of your weapon range on one side of their fleet, then slowly push forward and roll them up. Your idea to take out all the production in the south is a good one, just make sure you actually leave something to lockdown all the orbits when the fleet moves on. Keep producing corvettes on Tiburin to fill that role. Meanwhile, if you're going to hit Utapau, bring that ISD south to join your main fleet first. That fleet lost 2 of its 6 Venators including Yolaren; it needs some heavy reinforcement, and leaving that ISD sitting alone over Carida is pointless.
try doing something similar to the droids and just build like a giant fleet of acclamators and stealth ships and just pop space stations so that the droids focus more on repairing themselves rather than trying to invade the core worlds
Shack, all you’re doing is spreading yourself thin. This is probably the online time I’ll dislike one of your videos, but please take planets one at a time. You could have taken everything around Bespin and Hoth, having all the planets blockaded, but failed to bring any sort of ground invasion force. Now you’re pushed back again and have lost three planets in this episode.
Shack, no more battles you can't take any more, get a core defense fleet. Build a couple venators and about 10 Acculamtor and make that your defense fleet, with a few Arguitens and Corvette than focus on outer rim.
you should do an episode like in the first republic at war lets play where you just sit back and wait for things to build and money to come in so that you can get the pride and the ISD's faster but when you have a better grip on most of your planets though
If I may, I realize you have to respond to what's happening but you have a tendency to get distracted and form new plans on the fly that divert you and make you lose sight of plans you originally had. That plus the fact that they attack you every second is the reason it takes you so long to fulfill your designs.
I assume some of you guys never played the mod, if you have a fleet of 12 or more Venators you can rush anything and that's all you need and it dosnt really matter what the CIS has because if you have that many Venators you get around 30 ARC170 and almost 100 V wings that in itself is enough on medium difficulty. And some of you say The Pride of the Core isn't worth it, wrong it is give the Pride of the Core 4 Venators and 2 Victory's or 2 Star Destroyers and 4 Venators ant that's enough for most that the A.I comes up with.
You know it's a bad day when you say: "Gungans are our only hope."
I don´t know. Unless you have Jar Jar leading your forces they are a pretty competent bunch. They have those plasma globes that can shut down droids and their tanks.
Yeah but when you think about it, they could have created weapons to shoot those balls at a distance (we know they have the technology to make guns with their whole underwater city), but instead they use slings and catapults.
«Jar Jar is the key to all of this»
Darth jar jar is a beast. Did you see his hot moves on the battlefield? :D
Jeff no just no
Also, put the stealth ship in command of the fleet.
HaloBaller9813 it would help a lot, wouldn't it? I have an alternate strategy for that battle where he lost Yularen, mind reading?
He had 5 Venators, right? 10 ARC squadrons in total, right? What if...
With the stealth ship in command, he uses it to scout the enemy position, he becames awere the enemy has not only a carrier, but also a Providence dreadnought.
Now he brings all his ships away from the enemy. Once all fighters are launched, he divedes the ARCs in three groups, two with three squadrons, the last with four. All V-wings advance to the enemy position, followed by the ARCs with S-foils locked and then by the larger ships.
The V-wings would draw fire away from the ARCs, then, he would perform cirurgical bombing runs. The first and second group of ARCs would go after the carrier hangars, the third would destroy the station shield projector. Then, with those ARCs that attacked the carrier, he would focus on the station launch bays, while the third group would destroy the shield generators of the carrier and the Providences.
Once the enemy capacity of replenish fighters is neutralized, the area must be clear of the remaining starfighters. By this point, the larger ships should have came to range, and they can destroy the enemy fleet losing nothing but free starfighters and maybe some support ships because of the Providences.
HaloBaller9813 yeah, your plan is good, first the hangars, then shields.
And I agree with you, Shack could improve a lot. I find him distracted and unfocused, because of that, he makes bad decisions, misses tactical opportunities and is overall confused.
And I try to help every episode, but he doesn't read my comments.
Marcos Bravo good idea
HaloBaller9813 upvotes for good luck!
I’ve been saying this even damn time I watch him put something else in that slot for like 5 episodes.... /facepalm
Goddamn it, just do a massive blockade on the south, conquer the planets at your leisure and make the north a choke point. Right now you’re fighting on too many fronts at once.
Reed Coffman yah but he seems incapable of actually executing it
Yeah im late to this but he is overly cautious @@bluenight104
Meh, he's like a kid in a shiny toy shop. He forgets and loses attention so quickly and focuses on something else way too much lol.
Hey Captain, as always nice to watch. For Bespin, no need for a full fleet, as long as its only the one transport Master Plo should be more then enough to break it. Just move him up from Bespin ground to space. That should free up the ground forces you need in the south.
Something you can do to make ground battles easier is to build heavy factories on your planets so you can have harder hitting garrison units and not cannon fodder. As for space having at least 1 Venator on every planet could help but, 8 donut ships are a bit much.
J Morrow only certain planets can have a heavy factory
36:41 They capped the abandoned sensor array.
"I haven't had a chance to give the ground forces an order."
Clicks on the ground forces like three times before the attack on them.
>.
Lord Ravenscore yeah, but I think we can agree the AI don't give Shack much of a window to breathe.
But What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?
Aleksei Brusilov I love you u god
In your case Mr Brusilov:
What about the Russian attack on the Austrians?

Shack, please, don't bring your fleet in point blank range of the enemy, this is a one way ticket to get ships lost unecessarily.
Marcos Bravo: Moving his ships up so quickly let’s him destroy their carriers before they have a chance to launch too many fighters
TheEvilDM there are better ways to do it. He had 5 Venators, right? 10 ARC squadrons in total, right? What if...

Tankdavid7 and sorry, English is not my first language.
they captured the sensor array on Dothamir. that's how they could see to bomb your barracks
You really need to use your Jedi more. They're one of the primary strengths of the Republic. When you brought that in right after they took Eriadu, you could have easily taken the planet back with Mace, Anakin and Obi Wan. Possibly with any one of the three, since you would have had civilians spawning in their base area.

Also, you could have placed Plo Koon in space in the lead slot, then put one of your ground units into space in order to break the Bespin "Blockade." PK gets his Jedi Starfighter.
Also, if you send two of them to a planet on a raid and win, it destroys the space station. This can be easier than taking on level 4-5 space stations. In my last play through, I took more worlds with Jedi, or Jedi with artillery support, than any other method.
Shack, try to save a certain amount of money every week to get the Pride of the Core.
Bro, if shack does get more troops and warships soon he won't get the core, and even if he did the core can't be everywhere, unlike an actual fleet, so please stop trying to get shack to lose the cis doesn't even need half as many planet as it has to produce money because the make so much of it, shack just need to make ship and troops and conquer planet one at a time.

John Bednar bruh it was fucking hard, I hate New England but fuck philly, but fuck it its only their first

I think they're talking about a sports game of some sort. Possibly football or baseball. i have no idea because I pay no attention to sports.
You need use the star destroyer you just built, that ships only purpose is fighting other capital ships and make separate fleet for it or give it command of your biggest one and start making more
You can close the arcs s-foils and they still bomb stuff along with firing out of rear turrets, they just become faster and more effective, I used it on my campaign, it’s so effective.
The Damage of the Arcs are halfed i think when you close the S-Foils
Hey shack, when your camera goes all wonky you can press End and it well reset camera to the default position.
tiki28714 pressing the cinematic camera icon also does the trick.
You constantly have your ground troops in orbit, the 501st has been in orbit for several episodes now. You need to put your armies on the ground when waiting for an opening or else they will be sitting ducks.

Shack I think you should build up a line of venators then use them as a blockade to prevent further attacks on the controlled systems you have

You need to build a mandator dreadnought Shack then you’ll have a fighting chance
Bro, if shack does get more troops and warships soon he won't get the core, and even if he did the core can't be everywhere, unlike an actual fleet, so please stop trying to get shack to lose the cis doesn't even need half as many planet as it has to produce money because the make so much of it, shack just need to make ship and troops and conquer planet one at a time.
The Pride of the Core would be perfect for taking 1 planet at a time, as it doesn't need to be everywhere, just the planet he is attacking.
Shack just need to get boots on the ground.
Skull 9 reporting in, Grand Admiral Shack. Here's my weekly strategy report : We should build up the core's space stations to tier5 and get them working on Venators for Core defense fleets. Main fleet keep being agressive.
Shack when you are going to attack a planet and your main production is to far away use near by planets that can provide as support fleets and you can also build lots of aclamators (if that's how you spell it) to out number quickly and win the battle
you forgot a c
Hey bud, you may want to take your ground force just sitting in space off of Duro, because if your attacked your gonna either lose a lot of troops to stupid fighters, or lose the station with all its upgrades in a retreat
Omg shack that was brilliant the last 2 battles I've done I just brought in like 10 venators sit them back and send in the fighters giving them a taste of the fighter spam for a change.
26:10 we lost a good man today
Shack... Your primary target loses are the space battle... Focus more on the space then ground battle... Build battle ships in diff planet... Speed up the process
Captain I’m just gonna suggest what everyone else has seeing as I’ve played this mod many times now after watching some of your older videos. The Pride of the Core is one of the best ships in the mod and you need to focus on getting it. It can solo most of the fleets you’ve come up against due to how many bombers and V-wings it spawns.
Shack, you cannot afford to lose venators at your current rate of resupply; you need to be in mass production of Venators at least one capital ship producing planet while producing smaller ships and frigates is important, your Venators are your strongest ship available to you at a reasonable price and number. I would strongly recommend allocating one planet to constantly produce Venators for your fleets, as this will drastically affect the balance of power in space engagements.
Regarding Lucrehulks, I'd like to see them take a colossal amount of time to produce and have awful hyperspace speed so you don't really want them slowing down an attack fleet.
Start the CIS off with a decent number of Lucrehulk cargo refits and borrow the upgrade system from Thrawn's Revenge(?) to turn them into Lucrehulk Battleships for about the cost of a Providence.
Cargo refits would carry buzz-droid-less Vulture Droids in large numbers, while having only point defense. Battleships would carry Vulture Droids and Hyena Droids while having a decent number of turbolasers.
my favorite shack quote "That fighter shouldn't be a fighter anymore, he should be dead."
So how about the droid attack on the Wookiee’s?
Man master Kai-Adi-Mundi is gonna be pissed at Shack for not caring about the droid attack on the wookies.
I think that shack should turn bespin into a production facility for ground units, then take the space above it, secure it, and he's liberated the south.
I like how in the first playthrough of this shack's main tactic was to send all his fighters before any of his ships and now the ai is doing it, lol
Also, Shack, in Lieu of your specialist battalions being blockaded around Kamino, Caridia can build their own specialist Battalion.
Quick tipp Take some time and just Look on all of TH-cam planets If These got a possibilty to build rafineries. Like eraidu for exampel has the possibilty. Also keep in mind that you have to build barracks before you are abel to build those money-printing facilities
37:00 Shack, they could see the barracks because they had taken the abandoned sensor array from you earlier.
Ah when in doubt attrition ah attrition the best tactic that shack can use in republic at war Its fun watching shack is attrition
They need to make a truly three-dimensional version of the space combat system, something along the lines of Homeworld
I'm fairly sure someone else said this but, when they bombed the barracks they took over the sensor array in the bottom left
The battle at Bespin was like a Blitzkrieg!
Shack you need to build up a fleet with that star destroyer and start hitting those separatist controlled worlds below Duro and open up a second route to Bespin
"How are you two doin'?"
Mace: "Good!"
0_0 this game has become self aware.
My dude, you need the PRIDE OF THE CORE!!! all your problems with the big ships will be gone with the pride of the core.
Shack start using More Mid tier cruisers like Pelta's, Dreadnoughts, Carracks and Arqeutins, they provide a numbers advantage while also bringing to bear deccent fire power.
Shack Dathomir, the driods had the sensor array that how they got the bombing run through
Shack when you lose space on a planet put extra defences on the ground,.so you don't lose it.
there's generally not enough time between space loss and ground invasion to build anything, with the way the ai sends their units
Paul Wayne what he reds to do is build them before hand to have a good defence
Yeah shack i would love to see you get the pride of the core that star destroyer and admiral yularin and get them together with your main fleet with obi wan and anikan and just wreck fleets with it!
The Lucrehulk-class battleship holds a compliment of 1,500 Star Fighters.
You really need to use the special ability on the walkers. It helps a lot against armor.
I find it funny how the AI were able to hit kashyyk while shack was in the after action report
and as always i’m watching captainshack his star wars video.
You should order up like 8 Venators then I think you will be good for most space battles since you know how to attack pretty well..
Hey Captain,
Thank you for everything.
In the battle of taris, think of the people or buildings destroyed by the destroyed fighter and lucrehulk debris falling on top of them.
Xp gamer: all ships fire at the sullust space station!!!
Admirals starring at fully equipped enemy ships positioned right next to them that a firing at them with full force:😐
Shack, on ground battles, you can get upgrades from the buildings.
And Shack, they could do a bombing run on your barracks because they captured the sensor array.
you keep forgetting you have that one ship that can go stealth. so instead of possibly losing a ship send in the invisible one to scout it out. it could possibly be useful when going after space stations as well.
Hi, probably somebody mention it before but mace talking about banthas is a reference from the movie pulp fiction where samuel jackson’s character says he doesnt it pork because he considers it a filthy animal
Am I the only one feeling like arcs are EXTREMELY op? He took out an entire level 4 station with about 8 squadrons!
If you're thinking about starting a new series cap, it would be awesome if you finished Republic Commando or just did it from the start (if you've lost your save or something). I have been waiting for the return of this series for 3 years now and I will still be waiting. Take care Shack!
Dammit, I told you last week that your "hyperspace in right on their faces" strat was too aggressive, and that it was going to cost you. What you want to do is hyperspace in near the edge of your weapon range on one side of their fleet, then slowly push forward and roll them up.
Your idea to take out all the production in the south is a good one, just make sure you actually leave something to lockdown all the orbits when the fleet moves on. Keep producing corvettes on Tiburin to fill that role. Meanwhile, if you're going to hit Utapau, bring that ISD south to join your main fleet first. That fleet lost 2 of its 6 Venators including Yolaren; it needs some heavy reinforcement, and leaving that ISD sitting alone over Carida is pointless.
At 46:00 was that a nod towards Star Wars The Old republic ??
Love that game
You need to make a fleet just for core world defense. *cough* pride of the core *cough*
try doing something similar to the droids and just build like a giant fleet of acclamators and stealth ships and just pop space stations so that the droids focus more on repairing themselves rather than trying to invade the core worlds
those dreadnoughts are good fr taking out those lucerhulks they just need anti fighter support
Shack, all you’re doing is spreading yourself thin. This is probably the online time I’ll dislike one of your videos, but please take planets one at a time. You could have taken everything around Bespin and Hoth, having all the planets blockaded, but failed to bring any sort of ground invasion force. Now you’re pushed back again and have lost three planets in this episode.
He needs to go on the defensive and use jedi raids at this point
what about offline time?
I want to see these star destroyers in action!
keep up the good and amazing work this series is my second faverite serious I prefer the seprtists well just keep doing what u do.
Shack, no more battles you can't take any more, get a core defense fleet.
Build a couple venators and about 10 Acculamtor and make that your defense fleet, with a few Arguitens and Corvette than focus on outer rim.
Over 1 hour episode? It's like Christmas came early
For the battle of dathomier they controlled the satellite but since they didn't have that many troops you could see them. They saw you you saw them😁
im not sure if this is possible but what about making the arcs group 1, and the v-wings group 2, and setting group 2 to protect group 1
you should do an episode like in the first republic at war lets play where you just sit back and wait for things to build and money to come in so that you can get the pride and the ISD's faster but when you have a better grip on most of your planets though
You can move your buildings to where you want them on the battlefield.
Does anyone know if he's gonna do a CIS campaign
no he won't
I would also like to see a cis campaign
I found the CIS campaign to be far more difficult. Especially on the hard setting. The third tier space reinforcement isn't nearly as effective.
Damn, I'm doing a playthrough right now with the republic and it's pretty nice. I just haven't seen too many youtuber do a separatist campaign
But they have the *Malevolence*
If I may, I realize you have to respond to what's happening but you have a tendency to get distracted and form new plans on the fly that divert you and make you lose sight of plans you originally had. That plus the fact that they attack you every second is the reason it takes you so long to fulfill your designs.
We’ve done it we entered that dark period of the clone wars GUNGANS!!!!!
Shack you need to build more heavy troopers because they can take down armor very quickly
ha shack, have u tryed to sending n a few delta units a few at a time to back heavy bases that keep getting attack has weak defences on ground?
Victory star destroyers are only 2000 credits at Kuat! They are really worth picking up!
Can't wait for the next episode! :-)
36:35 they captured the sensor array which allowed them to see your barracks.
Captain use the tire 5 space stations to build capital ships and build the support fleet at the tier 3 space stations
24:48 .. sounds like the wilhelm scream :D
I assume some of you guys never played the mod, if you have a fleet of 12 or more Venators you can rush anything and that's all you need and it dosnt really matter what the CIS has because if you have that many Venators you get around 30 ARC170 and almost 100 V wings that in itself is enough on medium difficulty.
And some of you say The Pride of the Core isn't worth it, wrong it is give the Pride of the Core 4 Venators and 2 Victory's or 2 Star Destroyers and 4 Venators ant that's enough for most that the A.I comes up with.
I'm waiting for episodes of Shack's RAW like I was waiting for new ST Discovery episodes.
“Please select a fleet to command”
