Can anyone else confirm how good Vite Ramen is? I'm really curious what other folk say...
No comment editing. Feel free to leave opinions if you’ve tried the ramen
@@EckhartsLadder I appreciate it. The ramen looks good though I wonder if other people can justify the cost for it.
@@EckhartsLadderI feel like it’s a trap!
Might be awesome, but kinda pricey for , like, noods tho.......like seventy bucks for a 9-pack????? Nope.
I've always been interested in trying it but I simply can't justify paying more than 10x the cost of regular supermarket ramen.
We absolutely need the New Republic Defence Fleet to demonstrate their formidable nature for the canonical continuity. The New Republic is lacking engagements to which they won decisively. Without the backgrounds of the Contingency and Operation Cinder.
That's if the great Mouse God will bestow some rare blessing an truly makes something truly badass. Something we haven't seen since like Rogue One an Mandalorian
Because they're a weak and incompetent organization that was held together by Terrorists, Pirates, Criminals, and civilians who were trading one form of slavery for another. Once the fight was over the "unity" wavered and ultimately lost it's power. They're just a generic space government. Then again the multiple comments you've left are generic enough to have been compiled by a bot. Star Wars is nothing more than fantasy space circlejerk now. The "lore" is so muddled and directly contrarian that it makes Legends look like the Iliad in comparison.
I agree, in my sequel remake, I had the Republic Fleet beating the First Order. Then have the First Order using Starkiller base as a sore loser move.
And JJ absurdly suggesting that the loss of Hosnian Prime was enough to “devastate” them. The single biggest thing the Republic needs is for the writers to stop deliberately tearing them down.
Oh cry more, do you say the same for the Empire and the way Imperials are killed en masse? @@christophergillette7167
In Ahsoka, we hear that they were dismantling SSDs, particularly with their hyperdrives being secretly stolen by Morgan, meaning I think by 9 ABY the SSD was probably under deconstruction, especially with the perception that the imperial warlords were disconnected and had limited resources
Makes sense. They'd be incredibly expensive to crew and maintain and fairly useless in NR fleet doctrine, so either scrapping them or converting them into mobile bases seems like the best option.
@@michaelramon2411just like how America scraped tanks and used the treads for tractors.
By their own choice the US put most of their Essex aircraft carriers in reserve after WW2, most of which had about 3 years on them. Even under the intense tempo of the Pacific campaign this was not a huge amount, as many were reactivated during/after the Korean War and had careers well into the Vietnam War.
@@michaelramon2411they could’ve just mothballed them 😂
@@outrider425 Mothballing's not free. You need some amount of power, probably life support, periodic inspections to see if anything's broken and security to keep out thieves and mynocks. If you try to reactivate it, you have to turn everything back on, inspect every inch of what's basically a city, then bring in thousands of personnel who have to figure out how to operate a ship that is unlike anything else in the fleet. It's doable, but it's a giant pain. And for what? The ship doesn't match New Republic doctrine, it doesn't match the image they want to put out, and they don't think they need it. A mothballed Executor would just be a money sink and something of a security risk if it was kept in remotely usable condition (as someone might try to steal it).
I wouldn't freak out if a story said the NR kept an SSD, but I don't see why it's so hard to believe that they didn't.
In ahsoka season 2 we might get the chance to see the republic navy in action hopefully, and maybe some mentions of other new republic capital ships.
"But before I do I have to pay the bills"
Relatable
My read is that the MC95 is a potent cruiser, but less powerful than the MC85. The MC85 seems like a limited-run late-war heavy battlecruiser intended to outmatch ISDs and better perform the "tanky centerpiece" role of the Home One type MC80, but they either came off the line too late to do much or the Republic found the Starhawk was just as good and easier to build. The MC95 seems like a postwar design for planetary defense fleet use, so it's probably smaller, cheaper, and easier to crew and maintain. Basically a Liberty-type MC80 but actually built for warfare instead of being converted from civilian designs. It also seems like it was roughly mass-producible (with modifications), given the sheer number that seemed to be in PDF service.
Canon desperately needs the source books and Essential Guides that Legends got. Stat blocks and histories for all the warships we've seen/heard about but don't have information on, *especially* the MC85 since the (apparently) stripped-down Raddus is the only information we have on it.
Yeah. I even dislike Eck's "defense" of it. It doesn't matter that it has 36 of the largest weapons available if it can only bring one or two to bear on a single threat axis. Which makes it useless in battles against other capital ships (definition of a capital ship is a battlecruiser and larger vessel). From the shots from the movie, the weapons it carries are the typical anti-ship weapons so it has the armament of a light cruiser while being the same size as a large _battleship._ *Shakes Head*
I've always wondered why the Resistance has such an ineffective, yet expensive as all heck to maintain, ship... on the other hand, they didn't even have enough credits to make sure their ships were fully fueled... so...
The only other explanation could be the Raddus was a _civilian_ ship (large freighter/transport) outfitted by the Resistance as an "armed merchant cruiser". In the novel Honor Among Enemies by David Weber (Honorverse Series) as the war against the People's Republic of Haven progressed the Royal Manticore Navy was pressed for ships, which caused them to reduce the number of ships they were using for anti-piracy patrols. This resulted in an increase of piracy in the polity that was, at best, ineffectual at policing its own space.
The RMN decided to send off a 'squadron' of "armed merchant cruisers" to conduct anti-piracy patrols in said polity. The "armed merchant cruisers" were modified civilian ships, each massing nearly the equivalent of the largest warships the Super Dreadnought (slightly smaller than the MC80's seen in Return of the Jedi). They were equipped with the typical weapons used by super dreadnoughts, although due to the civilian hull, they only had the same number of weapon's placements as a battlecruiser despite being 10 times as massive. They also lacked an armoured hull, making them as fragile as destroyers. As they were designed to go up against pirates, or in the worst case scenarios, enemy commerce raiders (which rarely used battlecruisers), these flaws were deemed acceptable by the RMN.
Still doesn't explain why the Resistance had 2 corvettes, 1 frigate, and 1 large capital ship. They would have been better off _selling_ Raddus to buy a few cruisers and/or light carriers... that way they would be better equipped to maintain their ships.
But, whatever, bad writing is to blame. Let's not waste time trying to find post hoc explanations.
@@aralornwolf3140 Yeah, the sum total of the Resistance fleet being a stripped-down Star Cruiser, a frigate that is *just* close enough to the Nebulon-B to look really fucking weird even before you get to the wings only being on one side, two corvette-size ships one of which gets owned by the Supremacy at the very start of the stupid ass chase (while the other, and cooler one of the two, is called a *Bunker Buster* for some fucking reason), and those stupid bombers, all of which looking so old and decrepit that you'd be forgiven for thinking they *predate* the fucking Clone Wars instead of being post-Endor designs, is one of the many holes in TLJ's worldbuilding.
@@TimberWolf99,
You forgot the partial squadron of X-Wings, the partial Squadron of A-Wings, and the ships were being "captained" by flag officers, senior flag officers at that! :D
I know Eck says 3 Kilometers long but I never got not sense of scale in the movie when you compare it against the fighters flying around it. Home One from return felt larger even though it should be shorter. Your idea of it being a civilian star cruiser makes more sense with what we see, would explain the open and large hangers it has. @@aralornwolf3140
Despite TROS being...a film in the Star Wars episodic line-up of films, I do believe the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser variants are heavily underrated. Despite ILM being rushed, I appreciate the kitbashing approach to every vessel.
Well those are very dissapointing MC variants compared to what we had on Legends, but I think some improvements can be made to those desings
@@alejandroelluxray5298 The EU straight up copied concept art from the Original Trilogy at times, I don't believe the variants were disappointing at all. Just very unorthodox.
@@AshanBhatoaweren't they AI generated kitbashes? Kitbashing already has a less than stellar reputation in general, but having a program do it seem fishy
A series called Rogue Squadron is something we definitely need. If I was making it I’d do something like anthology story arcs. Say there’s 10 episodes is make 2 episode separate stories about different pilots and there missions. Separate arcs that lead to the final arc with the biggest mission. Also I kinda like the idea of jumping around in the timeline. From the clone wars the empire vs Rebels spending time with both factions pilots. As well with the new republic vs the imperial remnant especially during the fight with Thrawn. The the resistance vs first order. These can be around 30-35 minute episodes.
I love the dichotomy of Imperial Star Destroyers when they are talked about. On one hand, they have staggering numbers of design flaws and are very easily exploited by starfighter strategies. But on the other hand, just adding rebel/new republic fighters to their hangers instead of Ties covers for pretty much all their issues, as they beat pretty much every other capital ship in a straight brawl.
Why to hangar, they have own hyperdrive, so can have much larger fighter screen than can fit in hangar
@@tomaskops7119,
Because pilots like to eat, sleep, and go to the head... can't do that when strapped in a fighter's cockpit. Then there are the maintenance the fighters need...
basically, they are a fine ship, its just with the tarkin doctrine in place, they do not match their compliment particularly well
I would like to have more information about the MC95, such as size, number of weapons and starfighters, I would also like to have more information about the TIE Dagger or B-wing of the Resistance.
It is said it is bigger than a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer!
@@maxisau682 The MC85 is around 3.4 km long, almost 480 meters longer than a Resurgent, but I would like to have more specific information with the exact size. For example, the MC95 appeared after the MC85, did they become bigger than the MC85 or are they the same size, because bigger than a Resuegent-class is a bit vague.
@@Obiwan7100 Yes, yet it is said it can stand against many Resurgents and win. It proved its firepower during the battle of batuu
I absolutely adore and love the Starhawk, especially the significance of the tractor beam projector.
What I appreciate about making the tractor beam the centerpiece of the ship, is that it serves two purposes. It is both for utility and acts as a symbol. Symbolically by making the main weapon of the ship a tractor beam, the New Republic is essentially spitting in the face of the Empire who always make their turbolasers, superlasers, or other weapons the center piece, as a symbol of power and intimidation.
A tractor beam, meanwhile, is not capable of directly harming an enemy, it is not a weapon in the conventional sense. So in a way it tells the people "We are not like the Empire", it sets the New Republic apart from their enemies. But outside of the propaganda and symbolism, the tractor beam is just a versatile tool. Not only can it be used to just rip ships apart, you can use it to smash ships together or into other objects. You don't even need to be overtly violent with it, you can just pull an enemy ship out of formation. This can open up avenues for your ships to attack or flank through or it can be used to draw an enemy vessel into an unfavorable position. Outside of direct combat, the tractor beam can be used for a variety of tasks. It can pull asteroids out of hyperspace lanes, allow the ship to act as tug for damaged or crippled vessels, and even help save crashing ships or space stations that are danger of colliding with a planet or moon.
Never in a thousand years would I have thought that a tractor beam would ever make a worthwhile weapon but the Starhawk has more than proved me wrong.
What an incredible vessel.
To address potential problems such as utilising Imperial vessels.
I should clarify. I don't believe that the Starhawk construction process would encompass just cobbling or welding together large chunks of disassembled Imperial-class vessels with seldom alteration, such as building a new toy from LEGO bricks. Moreso salvaging the existing ISDs for their refined materials. Essentially free refined materials also, so I don't understand the financial argument against the Starhawk I've seen.
It
There's no necessity for the vessels to operate the same internally. In fact the Aftermath Trilogy specifically assert that Imperial vessels were utilised and they were literally the spoils of war from all the engagements up until the Battle of Endor. The Starhawk program was of a much larger program authorised by the New Republic Senate to recycle and salvage materials.
With Imperial-esque designs, I'm reffering to external design similarities, such as the brim trenches of ISDs which are alwats cited as having room for armaments and sensor pallets. There's no need for the interfaces, the protocols to run them and the infrastructure to be the same. The Aftermath Trilogy simultaneously asserts that the Starhawk-class were an updated design. More advanced than both what the Imperials and Alliance had near of its class. It further state internal AND external designs were updated. Essentially the MC Star Cruisers and Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
With manpower, I rationalise it as being an intentional inflation on the Imperial Military's part - ISDs are still defined as requiring a great amount of staff. I'm aware you dislike the lore on that regard, however it's entrenched now. The rationalisation of it being a byproduct of enlisting as many denizens as possible into the Imperial war machine does make sense from an ideological standpoint, which the Empire provided equal weight to. In addition to tying a planets citizens to relying completely on the Imperials for their opportunity and work. Why should a fledging New Republic be able to fill those vessels in the same manner the Imperials did? They could maintain some, however not necessarily enough.
That's also where the city-fortress comes from - a single ISD is slated as being sufficient to subjugate an average planet. The sufficient people and force to do that.
The Starhawk was not just intended to necessarily serve as a warship as I've evidenced above. The extraordinarily powerful tractor beam projectors are fundamentally multi-purpose. The Starhawk merely weaponised the technology incredibly well. Think of the strategy of locking onto unsuspecting vessels in Empire at War with a tractor beam once they are in adequate range of the main armament of a starship. Then decimating the captured vessel whilst it is immobilised. It has a varying yield, as all tractor beams do, and this incentivises those commanding a Starhawk to think creatively.
I'd say the New Republic would move away from the ISD being such a symbol utilised in propaganda and such.
The Star hawk,Imperial arrestor cruiser and the mc75 are literally peak ship design from canon and i agree that making a ship entirely rely on tractor beams as its main weapon was a damn good idea, It amazes me that writers like that exist in canon, the aftermath trilogy, andor, rogue one and the canon thrawn trilogy are all soooo good and then you get the resistance show, the sequel trilogy, mando season 3 ,the lackluster ahsoka show on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Cant agree more, nothing more to add
I do like the Starhawk
The MC-95E served at the Battle of Var-Shaa. It can be presumed that the other variants also served in the New Republic Navy. #AskEck
I have always assumed that is simply a mistake. I can’t give my source but someone who worked on the project essentially confirmed that.
It would make sense for the MC95 to be a defense fleet ship when you see how many variants there are. If the ships were made on contract for the New Republic Navy, the ships would likely be standardized to a single model. Also, considering that they look a lot more like older Mon Cal cruisers, it seems like the MC95 is more like a venerable design with new technology when contrasted with the cutting edge utilitarian feel we get with something like the MC85 or the Starhawk. Many defense forces would likely want to stick with something proven and familiar rather than ship designs that haven't been field tested.
You need to touch grass. Militaries don't pick obsolete technology based on it's past when there are new models that are proven to be better. That's like you telling me you'll take an M60 Tank over an M1 Abrams because the M1 was new at the time and the M60 was "proven". You would be dead and lolling out from the side of your M60. Starhawk also did see combat before the war ended...multiple times. You people should read more of the lore or otherwise try to actually apply it in a real life scenario before making wildly strange statements like this.
The Starhawk aesthetic feels a lot more Homeworld than Star War IMO.
I'm really bummed by the lack of use of the Starhawk by Star Wars creators. The versatility of a super heavy tractor beam makes it a weapon and a tool for disaster response. Using a tractor beam for search and rescue, towing disabled ships, and altering the trajectories of asteroids on collision courses with major assets are an example of a shift of wartime assets to peacetime activities.
During times of peace a Starhawk could be used to assist neighboring systems. These neighbors may then be interested in joining the New Republic.
I really like the Resistance "Bunker Buster" from episode 8, I think it might be a corvette and I'm not sure if that's it's official name but it reminds me of the "Blockade Runner" from the original trilogy kinda.
We have some information, it's called the "Free Virgilia-class", and the "Bunker Buster" comes from the fact they have nuclear weapons as one of their primary weapons for orbital bombardment
@@nicolasheredia956 cool! I was disappointed that we didn't see large battles in episode 8 like with the Separatists and Republic in episode 3, like even just a few more bunker busters or another star cruiser for example to be sacrificed to slow down a star destroyer or something, but at least the effects were really nice, and it makes sense that other star cruisers or Resistance/New Republic ships would be probably in retreat in other systems.
My head canon is that the Raddus and ther MC85s were meant to be like US super carriers of the Cold War (like the Forrestal class): not a lot of guns, but a large hanger, great survivability, and large size that allowed them to outclass the opposition.
The galactic empire is estimated to have a GPD of 1.3-4.6 sextillion credits.
If we were to place all the credits on the planet worth 100 credits we would need an area of 430,000 km2 almost the size of Spain.
Makes it even more impressive that the rebels won the war
@@Luthen_Rael in the legends it is mentioned that the empire spent Quintillions of credits just developing new technologies, not counting the money they use to pay the trillions of soldiers in the imperial navy/army and the maintenance of the equipment.
@@Obiwan7100 I wish we saw more of the logistical side of the imperial and rebel military along the entire galactic civil war,in legends the topic was already scarce but in canon it barely exists.
@@Luthen_Raelthen people would hate it because it is "boring"
Hopefully we get to see them in the upcoming film
The Vesper from Ahsoka is pretty cool. Shame we don't know the actual model or any of the stats...
The MC85 is alright, and I've grown more fond of it. Even with automation, it's virtually deserted.
I like the MC95C's protruding ring around the "waist". I pike different elements to all of them, though im not all that wilf on the "sails" on some of them.
Reusing star destroyers instead of dismantling them to make something else, especially when in a crunch, seemed to make more sense to me.
It makes more sense to crew good vessels like ISD's rather than just making stuff up from scratch. It's a hard concept for you to grasp but building these ships are huge investments that take plenty of resources and time to do. It's not like throwing together some crappy Lego set.
@@helghast1149 it might be a hard concept for you to grasp, but you didn't actually agree or not with what I said, but just went off in a different direction in a weird attempt to be snarky
I think your reading comprehension is emblematic of your logic. So you're going to tell me with absolute confidence that I did not respond to your earlier claim that has since been edited about the practicality of creating new vessels out of thin air as opposed to using pre-existing ships?
That's also a nice edit you did to your comment as if it doesn't show me that you edited it LOL
@@thegreenmanofnorwich
@@helghast1149 I think I edited it when I made it for a typo or two (clumsy thumbs). Maybe you just misread it? You're kind of an arse. I think this interaction is done.
It's done whenever you mute the thread. Trying to play the victim while throwing in your own insult sure is a "clean" way of ending the interaction. Whatever works for you I suppose. @@thegreenmanofnorwich
i hope abit that we are going to see some of these new republic ships in the mandoverse
ngl, after the dr pershing episode in mando, I got really interested in how the new republic worked and I'm disappointed we didn't get more
#AskEck
If you were in the story group for a day and you got to make one change/addition/retcon to the canon lore, what would it be?
I would change how force ghosts work. They've made it overly complicated and forget the fact the living force has a will of its own. I would simplify things by saying everyone who dies becomes one with the force and it's the will of the force that creates ghosts, what the others learned to do was how to be conscious while in the force. This would also help explain Sith Ghosts because it's their will to go against the natural order of the force that causes the damaged ghosts we've seen in previous stories.
Can anyone do this? I would say either adding time jumps in the sequels, meaning having the time between movies greater along with a change of events. Otherwise, Id make it so the NR isnt destroyed in the sequels. I dont think its outright said anywhere other than the opening crawl for Last Jedi but they act like the NR is totally destroyed in TFA. Theyd be weakened, sure, but I think theyd do like a state of the union and the designated survivor type deal. That way, we could see the resistance connect with surviving fragments of the NR military, maybe actually see a Starhawk, and have a proper battle, not rehashing the underequiped good guys vs the technologically superior bad guys
Bespin Cloud City was the best map in SW Battlefront!
Speaking of Cannon, I would love to see the New Republic Star Destroyer to be in live action alongside the Starhawk and Mon Calamari cruisers against the Imperial remnants
They would never allow that on film because audience think pointy ship evil
One of my favorite parts of the final Alphabet Squadron books was Hera’s Star Destroyer she commanded. It really made it feel like the New Republic was just using what they could
Was wondering if ANY such vessels like these decided to show up at Exegol... funny how what Eck displayed was basically distant dots.. hardly constitutes a heavy advanced battleship able to fly close support an launch a pounding on a ton o mf similar ships to it BUT basically as sitting ducks which WASN'T shown AT ALL. An even when Sideous did the lightning thing to the whole reinforcement fleet truly huge an advanced Dreads woulda been able to at least shrug off least some of whats basically a lot of powerful lightning an lasted least a short while longer instead of temporarily dropping outta the sky like we was shown. Noticed a distinct lack of alot of heavy warships close enough to seriously put the hurt on Palp's Exegol fleet.
#AskEck Can you do a battle and lore breakdown from the content in the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy?
I want a series of that
5:16 there is no single ship that can stand up to a ssd. Me: except maybe an a-wing. I know the shield bulbs had already been destroyed... sue me lol love the video as always❤
If you kamakazi into the bridge AND scream while doing it, you can sink it
Actually, that last one reminds me of CIS ships.
I'd love for the Rebel Alliance to come across an unused/abandoned Eclipse-class SD, with its strong 3/4th Death-Star-strength main cannon & then all of the side armaments being recrewed/reused by the Rebellion against the Final Order empire ships.
Imagine building and crewing a number of Super Stardestroyers all mainly equipped with Tie Defenders... equivalent to the cost of the two Deathstars.
The Starhawk reminds me a lot of the Hammerhead cruisers/corvettes mixed with a Nebulon-B. Seems like an easy fit for the New Republic.
I enjoy the fact that while most rebel and NR ships are designed with some degree of precision, the Starhawk is clearly designed to be a hammer. A blunt instrument designed to smash through its opponents.
IF the canon New Republic has SSDs... those would be a prime target for canon Thrawn to steal
Interesting Idea , reading the legends books there are a lot of interesting space battles, your breakdowns are the best videos I've seen to describe the fleets and their actions.but I would love to see depictions of those space battles Maybe just in EAW. Id like to see it just for the visual reference.
3:36 #AskEck I agree with you. I like variants A, D and E the most, although A's "wings" would look better if they were moved to the rear half of the ships, near the engines.
Would be interesting if the new republic gave an ssd to serve as a home for alderaan survivors and just took out the hyperdrive to keep it from being a threat
I kinda wish the Star Hawks design focused more on Verticality than length.
Like I wish that the drive stem that comes off the back was much shorter and it had abit more height to it.
Almost like if the B Wing was a battle cruiser, I would love that!
A large number of guns doesn't matter if they can't all be used together. In the movies, we don't see Star Destroyers lit up like a Christmas tree firing 100 something cannons. I see 3 potential reasons this doesn't occur: 1) The cannons don't have overlapping fields of fire. It needs so many cannons to fight from any angle. 2) The reactors don't generate enough power to fire all cannons at once. 3) The extra cannons are redundancies for cool down times. The older design of the star destroyer may require longer reloads or cool downs for each cannon. Newer, cooler, more efficient Mon Cal canons may shoot faster longer. Think musket versus machine gun.
The new republic should have focused their military on its navy and a small but highly capable marine corps and special operations, as well as a starfighter corps and system guard for policing (coast guard) and left it's army more up to "reserve command" Where planetary defense forces and militias like the resistance train together but are under individual command until an invasion.
Our focus would be on small automated carriers with very few crew requirements and a focus on thick hulls, shields, and point defense lasers and missiles. Highly advanced starfighters would be the majority of the offensive firepower allowing it to focus it's power on shields. We would still include an escort fleet of small cruisers, frigates, and support ships (such as interdictors), and marine troop ships if needed. Also more starfighters and bombers from the independent starfighter corps would augment our fleet by being able to enact hit and runs without risking putting a carrier group in danger.
For fighting pirates and for law enforcement there's no need to waste expensive fighter-launched torpedo's. In this case small patrol cruisers with turbolasers, ion cannons, tractor beams, and laser cannons are sufficient to fight most pirate ships, and a small complement of close range interceptors will be more than enough to take out whatever small civilian fighters or gunboats may be used. A handful of these interceptors could be remotely piloted. Although remote ships are highly sensitive to jamming, it is unlikely pirates and criminals have this ability. This would decrease the amount of crew danger. Modified remote A-wings with removed shields and hyperdrives would be perfect in this role. A-wings are very effective but very difficult to fly due to their speed and would be suited well for remote piloting. Tie interceptors would work but since this is a law enforcement role public perception is important. We would also include a complement of hyperdrive-equipped patrol boats and their escort fighters to fly sorties a few systems away form the main cruiser. VCX-100 freighters and E-wings or X-wings would be a good combo as the VCX-100 is large enough for the fighters to dock and resupply. The patrol cruisers would often have a few escort ships consisting mostly of supply ships such as hammerhead corvettes and medical ships such as nebulon-cs. As a coast guard type agency the system guard also helps with search and rescue and emergency medical.
0:55 woah, woah, woah, AmaLee has her own flavor of Vite Ramen??? Kickass!
#AskEck What do we know of the development of the Venator? Was it ready at the outset of the Clone Wars or did it enter service sometime after it began? And what did the Republic Navy have before the Venator (and by extension, the Victory) came into service that could stand up to Seperatist capital ships?

I believe things like the mc 85 had so few weapons acording to its cross-sections because it was already being decommissioned and probably has a number of its weapons removed.
Not to since the same shielding technology is used on the mc 95 and is notably smaller than the 85 it’s possible they had similar armaments if not slightly improved ones compared to the best of their mc 80 predecessors.
I do hope we get a good idea of it’s true scale, and really wanna see it in action in the possible upcoming THRAWN campaign, if not having something that’ll give concrete answers about these ships
Those arching laser shots in deep space.... that makes me mad everytime i see it.
When I think how Disney did my boy Admiral Ackbar it really burns me up.
All I want to see is one, all I ask for is one, new Republic Venator 😢😢😢
#AskEck What is your favorite/most powerful faction in Star Wars canon?
I remember Nick from TFN from like 20 years ago.
Not me thinking we would see the endurance class or nebula
Honestly, how would the Earth’s current armored units (tanks, apc) fare against Star Wars ground vehicles?
Wish they would show an Assertor in action..bashing up everything..
#AskEck if Vader himself commanded or fought in the battle, in space kr on the ground, could the Empire have won the battle of Endor?
Hey I rember a few years ago you made a verses match between the cr90 and hammerhead why not do which ship is better also love your videos thanks for giving me entertainment while concussed
I thought we took canon too seriously?
I think the starhawks design has so much wasted potential, if you put another one of those fins from the bottom on the top you have a New Republic Hammerhead
Given how slow january is for content, might it be worth reviving the "sci fi vs" content you used to make? I miss those, but also it might be a ready vein of juicy content for those slower months when the real stuff isn't happening so much
You think you can make a video off what if the UNSC and the Sword of Sanghelios joined the Rebel Alliance.
What Battlefront game was that, i play 2 all the time but I did not recognize those levels. and while its been a long time since i played 1 i don't think there were clone troopers in it
what mod is that in the video coz id love to play it
What I am wondering is what battle front 2 mods you are using.
#AskEck Were there any big ground battles for the New Republic in Legends? What ground vehicles did the New Republic army use?
Ask Ecks: What's your thoughts on starwars revenge of the sith ps2 game? Have you ever played it?
Wait how the hell do you board and take over a SSD? Like that’s kilometers long right? You would need an army to clear a ship that long out right?
Dunno if anyone reads this, but why are the capital ships so large? Why do we need 3km of Spacecraft? Wouldn`t it be smarter to pack the generator, engines and weaponry into a smaller package?
I started to read light of the Jedi just the other day, where they introduce the third horizon which holds not only fighters but cruisers. As far as I'm aware there's not many ships in star wars that hold cruisers (I could be wrong). I was curious about your thoughts and what else you know about the ship and it's class #AskEck
Wish there was more vegetarian cute ramen packs…tbf though I haven’t checked in a year
Me, missing the Mon Remonda
NOICE!
Was this my AskEck? Just wondering. Idts because he didn’t include my comment but just wondering.
On the topic of guns for the MC-85, Moncal ships have never been the strongest in terms of firepower with their strength coming from Shields and other systems.
#AskEck Just had a quick thought I wanted to pitch: What was the deal with the Alliance "Safe Worlds" in Legends?
Star Wars Cannon, what does that even mean in the modern-day Star Wars...
Hey EckhardsLadder. I love your video, but it sounds like your audio is "peaking." (or maybe your audio is just loud). I figured I should let you know just in case. But anyways, I loved the video :D
Please do more tactics and structure videos like the cis navy structure and ranks
Does no one ever point how the Starhawk is a literally a ripped off Gravestone?
The hatchet or bow with flaps design is thousands of years old. There may be design inspirations, but they're too dissimilar.
What EAW mod was it at 6:48?
I think its Thrawns Revenge
#AskEck
What do you think would happen after the Battle of Naboo if the Trade Federation won?
Yea the had th3 mosom9n curyy in stock😊
What about the viscount??
Eck, I have read that 2 MC-80's could easily handle an Imp. II per the 90's game "X-Wing." Can anybody support what I read? P.S. BTW, I REALLY liked seeing old school "Battlefront" with old school maps.
do legends, it will het you lore views
It's 8 dollars per ramen. That's too expensive for ramen.
#askeck If you were put in charge of Lucasfilm today, what are the top 3 things you would do to fix Star Wars?
#AskEck , why did the palpatine abandon the droid army since it was so powerful and use those force mind droid implants things that that guy with lightsabers in his skin to directly control it so i goes down with his death, and it would also terrify the yuzhan vong which he knew was coming?
Because of propaganda. He defeated separatist and their droids, many people think droid = enemy
Ig but what are they going to do? Fight back. Also couldn’t he just put stormtrooper armour on them
Excuse me one a wing destroyed it what you mean no one ship can beat it
Aren’t these Strongest New Republic Ships part of STAR WARS: Legends?🤔
Eckh

Honestly I hate the Starhawk. It just doesn't carry itself like an iconic ship and the reason for its existence, cut apart Star Destroyers is not only a stupid idea but it just doesn't look the part at all. If it looked more like a piece of junk then maybe but if you seriously want to know a ship IRL that was torn up and put back together almost completely then look at the Imperial Japanese Carriers Kaga and Akagi. Both ships were Battleships that were stopped partway in construction and rebuilt as bonkers carriers which were AGAIN reworked into traditional looking carriers. They still hold their battleship heritage quite clearly in their hull structure. The Starhawk looks like a model kitbasher that just plucked SD guns and engines and glued it onto a fanfic design :/.
Second
Eclipse could take an executor
Yeah but there was only two of those
@@DanielDevious-kn4oc then the sovereign
@@shellbot69no Sovereigns finished construction by the end of Dark Empire.😊
@@vinayakkothari6162 then the mega ssd
VitRamen seems like a joke... nearly 10 bucks a package? LOLOL I don't care what you make it out of. thats nearly the price you pay at a Ramen joint and don't tell me they are nearly the same in quality.
Foreal, I’d have to try it but I don’t believe it can be that good
pipe dream but wish the Viscount and Nebula class would come back
I dont think itd be hard to say the NR was making Starhawks from dismantled ISDs but also made a few nebula-classes as experimental new star destroyers. Its just sad the storygroup turned the NR into pansies who dismantled their military knowing full well there were die hard imp remnants still in existence
Starhawk. Looks cool. But meh. The magic tractor beam detracts from star wars. We know its fiction but it was dumb that a mere 3 of them took down an exectuor because of the magic tractor beam. A powerful tractor beam isnt the issue. It's that it can pull ships significantly larger than itself. It makes very little sense.
I still like the design. But the entire jakku battle was stupid and a big part was this ship.
How tf is it “magical”? A star destroyer could bully around corvettes with its tractor beam so the starhawk’s is just a bigger version of it, how on earth does it break canon?
New class should be canonized
Hard disagree with you on the MC95. To me it looks like complete shit. Like someone backed a home one type into a wall then glued ugly fins onto it.
