EckhartsLadder can you guys do the vs all over again but this time use the other real nebula class star destroyer like the one used in the thumbnail 🤦🏽♂️😂
Imperial 3 star destroyer NEEDs a battle royale
EckhartsLadder Whoa! That’s on big Star Destroyer dude. Wow!
@@quangomez3858 let us upgrade the model first
Doesn't that long range beam weapons look like the SPHA-T canon that late war Venators received?
"I look at the state of the Empire and think, How many super star destroyers could we have made with the resources we threw into Tarkin's folly?"
20 executors
@@Hydra-yq7le and a few hundred ISDs
Or... You know. Just replece the garbage tire TIE fighters with the TIE interceptor or even the TIE defender as the main standered issue starfighter and add an intordictor or 2 to any larger imperial fleets and all your problems are solved.
@@stalwartteakettlepotato9879 true, true. But the death star took a lot of money so if they did that they still wouldn't have enough to completely change the tide of the war.
Aparently just 20 sector groups, or 480 SDs plus 32k smaller warships as well plus supporting craft and other stuff if we go off the Imperial Sourcebook for the entire project cost.
In other words, I suspect black magic is involved here.
Good design in fictional ships is not just about adding strengths. But weaknesses as well.
An excessive price tag is an acceptable weakness. A perfect ship can still lose if and when the enemy builds three reasonably good ships for the same price.
'There is always a bigger fish.'
There are always methods to counter, and counter-counter in warfare. Especially when you focus too hard on making things 'perfect'. Real life teaches us that there is no such THING as perfect, and what you really get is a combination of juggling tradeoffs to fit how your fight, and good execution of your designed fighting methods by the men commanding the fight. If you have to 'add' weakness to your sci-fi ship, it's not that you're making it better, it's that the RULES are terrible and you're not adapting your ships to an in-fluff historical precedent.
That being said, having the ship be more expensive does fall in line with the general increase in size and increase in equipment and armor to compensate. 'BIGGER!" is always more expensive and has natural drawbacks. The IJN Battleship Yamato, as a case example, was the epitome of the superdreadnought school of naval warfare. She was huge, had huge guns...
...And spent most of the war being a moving target with a flashing neon 'KILL ME!' sign above her for every fighter-bomber in range. Not only was she an expensive ship to build, she was expensive to operate if you wanted her to actually participate in a fight. Above 20 knots, you REALLY have to start burning fuel to maintain speed. So in order to get to a fight in time to do something, or reposition to avoid getting hit by a carrier group, she'd have to essentially be escorted by a small oiler fleet just to have enough fuel to steam at 30 knots.
And of course, since Yamato was designed as a floating artillery piece, she was designed to ruin ships, not fight aircraft off. That in itself was a trade off and weapon weight and placement. If you wanted to get more AAA on the ship, you had to take some pretty beefy secondaries off the ship (Which the IJN did in fact do in one drydock visit).
The Yamato was an overbuilt design for a then conventional sea battle, that got launched into a rapidly evolving environment where Naval Aviation quickly began to dominate. One of the oft ignored elements of the early 1900s was just how fast design evolution was, vs the speed in which you could build ships to match. A man can draft in weeks on paper what takes a shipyard years to build. One of the funny things about Aviation, is that because aircraft are small, they are easier to update to new models in a hurry. New plane designs were coming out every few months. Meanwhile, Yamato was a ship designed in a thirties, began construction in '37, and wasn't finished until '40.
So Mary sues are cancelled here too I guess.
Please keep covering more Fanon. So much creativity that we just don't see in real lore anymore. Keep it up Eck!
Yes because the ultra star destroyer and imperial class 3 are totally creative rather than just OP because fans make the worst stuff.
@@FXIIBeaver lol. You want OP check up on some of the later Ties. The defender has a tractor beam. The phantom has personal cloaking. Those are just the ones I remember, the power creep is real.
@@FXIIBeaver I guess Star Killer Base was any better!?
@Garett Crook lmao!
@@FXIIBeaver wasn't ultra a joke?
The switch from the Imperial I to the Imperial II was always puzzling to me.
"Hmm, the Rebels sure seem to love their starfighters and are really good at using them. I know, let's take out all the point defense guns and add even MORE turbo lasers! Brilliant!"
I think it's because the Lancer was coming into production.
Course Lancers being close and ISD II with pds lasers and concussion missiles would be better
Cane McKeyton it's because the empire was very doctrinal. If something didn't work, they just added more things to try and scare people. Hence more cannons. Instead of actually using your head and putting some damn anti fighter cannons on the thing! xD
@@mr_h831 I imagine interservice rivalry had something to do with it too, as the guys in charge of procuring starfighters were also wary of anything that could reduce the Imperial Navy's dependence on them for point defense (much like how some in the Imperial Navy had reservations about the Death Star drawing resources away from their capital ship fleets), especially since they were already relegated to a support role in stark contrast to the very starfighter-heavy doctrine of the Old Republic. This might explain the issues with ships like the Lancer and Nebulon B in Imperial service too.
@@mr_h831 That's why I love the orc empire.
Build something big, then it gets later easily destroyed.
Build something bigger, then it gets not so later and even easilier destroyed.
Build something much more bigger, then it's get destroyed right from the release.
Z3r0_ that actually makes sense. This genuinely happened in real life, by the way. Towards the end of WW2, the nazis had.. Well, quite the division between their military efforts. One branch wanted this, and another that. They became quite disorganized due to petty arguments.
That would explain well why the empire does some of the things it does.
Any footage from Empire at War is always nice to watch
Looks like a shark tooth, especially because of the black paint and curves
Also, ISD III vs Resurgence Class Star Destroyer?
I'd also have to say the Resurgent Class, at least if the technical manuals are to believed its stupidly fast (can accelerate to the same speed as a TIE, though I have to imagine that turn radius goes completely out the window) and has a greater focus and ability to deploy starfighters. Not that we ever got to see any of this but hey, details.
Resurgent is a battle cruiser, like the Allegiance, with about 1500 large guns on it. Not even a fair fight. ISD 3 is more like a Resurgent lite.
In a journey to the force awakwns book it was stated that they dont accelerwre to max as it makes mpving virtually impossible
@Terix Septim I don't know what nonsense you`re talking about. The Reactors on both are very powerful. Especially compared to an ISD 1-2. You do understand that technology often makes things smaller right? Resurgent and the Allegiance are Battlecruisers. Period. That's like saying a 6 feet 5 and 250 pound boxer isn't a heavy weight because you feel like there is some arbitrary technicality he doesn't live up too.
The old Tector would be called a "Heavy Star Destroyer" and there are modified Imperial 2s that can even beat those.The number of guns and the size isn't important!? Well, it depends... but you would have to be "dumb" to not see that it can be a war changer. Just look at the Lucerhulk. Many people would agree that the Lucerhulk is one of the best ships and carriers in star wars. That`s because of the size, holds more fighters and is heavily armored, and the size and number of guns it has. Size isn't everything, just look at the Nebula, but it does help when you aren't going crazy about it. Resurgent has great point defenses and large hangars, so they can get away with its size.
@Terix Septim Wiki is fine when you are looking up fiction. Its even in the books that the Resurgence is a battlecruiser. The person who also made the Allegiance even called that a battlecruiser as well. BTW, the Mon Calamari calls most of their ships star cruisers and nearly all are a lot smaller and weaker than the Battlecruisers I named.
Can’t wait for this to show up in a Marvel comic.
It's funny cuz it's true
Lol
Ooof
Lol it will give it sometime
3 models of the star destroyer and they still cant figure out to make the cockpit tower sunken into the ship
I'd like to think it's because of old admirals and KDY engineers stubbornly sticking to the traditional designs, like European navies insisting ramming bows be fitted to warships well into the 19th century.
One of the few good parts of the new trilogy is the resurgent star destroyer design
@@spamviking o
Ironically enough, raming is an effective strategy in many Sci fi settings including star wars
Although, it is kinda lowered... props to that at least
@@stalwartteakettlepotato9879 lol true that.
I think the ISD III's shape looks like a spear head
I'm on the same train of thought but I was thinking more of a sword blade.
This thing is the definition of excessively cool
Any logical evolution would include AAA weapons. They lost two bloody deathstars to fighters. At some point you would think they would learn their lesson.
The Death Stars had AA guns.
@@nobleman9393 Yet they still exploded.
@@8thpenisstreet The first was destroyed thanks to Luke's paranormal abilities, and the construction of the second wasn't finished
@ElladanKenet
Never made much sense that a ship would sink when the bridge was destroyed (heck even in real life that didn't happen) though for dramatic effect it did it's job.
@@alexanerose4820 : The fluff explanation for that is that someone in a panic about the incoming A-wing screwed up the SSD's controls, so it was actually _thrusting towards_ DS2. Before the crew could override the controls, it ran into DS2.
The A-wing itself was a bit of a fluke, and could only do what it did because all of the Rebel fleet had started bombarding the SSD's shields some time before (this is one of the orders that Ackbar gives on-screen).
Appreciate the spotlight Eck!
Keep up the good work Pres!

The "wings" on the rear could be there to allow a better firing arch for the weapons in the side trenches.
@1:29 I love EC Henry's work!
After 30 minutes of measuring and comparing stuff, I came to conclusion that Imperial II class star destroyed basic weapon, Octuple barbette turbolasers, are placed on turrets 28 meters wide in mount point. I came to this after comparing size of their placement area with ship size and after doing the math I came to answer that area takes up around 145 meters in lenght which divided by 4 (number of turrets) gives ~36.25 meters for each. Since they don't touch by sides, I did some assumptions and came to this.
Hell yeah Eck, love some more breakdowns of ships and whatnot. Would love to see some more Halo ships thrown in to not "over saturate" the Star Wars.
I love how all this time eaw space battles still looks amazing. That game was years ahead of its time
It is a lovely design. Grats to the designer!
Did you hear that Boba Fett might be in the Mandalorian Season 2?
Love the channel buddy, keep it up
Wonderful content as always, thanks Ekhart!
Another AWESOME Star Wars vid I've really liked and enjoyed watching.
The Imperial-III Star Destroyer really looks INCREDIBLY EPIC!!!!
#askeck Y didn’t the Empire use an Interdicor at Hoth in Legends and in canon??
Video suggestion/request:
X-83 Twintail vs. Tie Defender (Legends)
I think Vader thought there was no need to use an Interdictor because there wasn't a space battle in the first place they blockaded the planet with a lot of SDs and a SSD so if anyone tried to leave they could easily destroy them.
(This was the lore answer imo ofc, I don't know if Interdictor was a thing when Hoth was filmed if it wasn't then that's the real life answer)
There was a lot of things the Empire couldve done at Hoth, that whole operation was executed terribly
Because of plot
I would say that one is probably because there might not have been enough Interdictors to go around. Second is well that fleet was commanded by Ozzle who as we all know is "as clumsy as he is stupid". He probably thought that with both his fleet of ISDs and the Executor, that there was no need to request any Interdictors.
Your intro is a bop
Given that the ImpIII came into service AFTER the fall of the Emipre, it means the Rebellion stopped being a hit-and-run tactic faction and started to claim and defend regions.
Thus the interdoctor aspect would be considered superfluous as the Rebels, or New Republic, no longer cna just jump to lightspeed and hide.
Really enjoying the ISD 3 content
It is interesting how this design of ship is essentially a scaled down allegiance, but sacrifices heavy armor and weapons for being more of a multi-role vessel.
Looks cool .
Looks like something that would have happened if Thrawn had overriden Tarkin on fleet doctrine, but still had to compromise with the Emperor's predilections.
Wow, 55 minutes late: I'll never forgive myself.
You mean 5?
On no I mean I actually just watched the video after it was out for 55 minutes.
I love the new updates they are great! The bugs make it hard to play ground battles. Half way through the game I'd say half of my ground battles kicked me out. I was at the point where I had to auto resolve the battles so I wouldn't be kicked out of my game. It was a bit annoying b/c I really like how the new ground battle revision works. Pres if you read this I hope you can get those bugs worked out. Thanks Eck and The Pres.
Looks cool
In all my playing if AotR, I never realized Ozzel got a malus in battle. Poor guy.
I think Interdictor technology would reduce the shielding, weapons, and vastly increased costs for the Imp III. Making it exceedingly rare.
When you are concedencily early, but dont know what to say...
I hope you all have a nice day :D
(Rime not indented)
I'm kinda interested in seeing more Fanon based videos. This was pretty detailed and cool for a fan creation, just little bit op though.
This is cool
Can't wait to see this in a Star Wars comic
Beautiful ship
I remember seeing the ISD3 in the old old mod Absolute Chaos... so beautiful, though back then it was just an updated and upgraded ISD2.
I’ve had enough of your videos.... I couldn’t take it anymore.... After years and years I went got a older laptop and a gold copy of Empire at War. I started on May the 6th. It was late. I thought I liked Rebellion and Galactic Battlegrounds in college. Empire at War is amazing. I’m going to play through the main campaigns. Then play few galactic conquests I may look into the Clone Wars mods but also saw they had great mod for the Thrawn trilogy through Thrawn duology. If they had a way to add the NJO mod wow.
Thanks for the videos, I am glad I got the game even if it took me awhile because adult life got away on me.
This fits an Imperial Remnant much better than the Resurgence.
This Fanon design is not just making the ship beefier, but it's also giving better arrangement to the weapons so as to get more weapons actually on target.
A weakness with the main batteries of an ISD II is that unless you nose down significantly, the turrets don't actually look into the forward firing arc properly. The ISD3's weapons are spread and fan out along the hull, allowing for better fields of fire with each turret. The other advantage is in damage control. Damage to a turret doesn't risk taking the lot of them out in a chain explosion. Also makes them more dangerous for fighters to attack. Because to attack one, you have to present yourself to the others. On the ISD II, attacking one allows you to pretty much rush past all of them faster than you can track. And I'm pretty certain that no fighter survives a direct hit from a main heavy turbolaser.
About the only thing that could make an ISD of any class a true monster without major shape alterations would be to place the heavy turbolaser turrets in a line down the ship's spin on the dorsal AND ventral sides. With what is known as Superfiring (super referring to 'above' or 'over' in terms of position) configuration, you could run a dozen batteries up the spine of the ship on each side, and they would have full forward attack arcs as well as broadside ability for ALL batteries. About the only arc you don't get is a dead-aft angle. But in a maneuver fight, if you let someone get back there, you've failed anyway.
When this ship looks better then most of the ships in the sequel trilogy
Are there any Mon Cala snubfighters?
Or Gunships, bombers ect?
Small manoeuvrable craft that are pure combat vessels.
And did the Mon Cala make any light freighters?…Correllian YT Series [*cough cough].
Side note, were YT series freighters capable of being converted into pure gunships and combat vessels - considering how effective the Millenium Falcon was while it still had cargo capacity and was a working ship.
Question: How many days will it take for the comics to steal this design and call it a imperial-2
@ 4:06 - Admiral Ozzel: BAD ADMIRAL, -10% combat bonuses to all ships.
XDXDXD
In my opinion, I feel like the Allegiance class is the legends continuity Imperial 3.
I would looooooooove to see some Fanon analysis of EC Henry or Fractal Sponge's ships
I really want more fleets from other universes and what if series
Again Wow!
More fanon ships eck, it's very nice these types of videos.
I have my own imperial 3 design it is a few years old and it's a little different but was built around the same time, and has a similar size
Eckhart I'd wager the reason for no interdiction is probably because of the sheer power drain interdiction technology uses. As we have seen from the Empire they don't usually make a large ship with a dedicated role. The Interdictor cruisers being an exception likely because the designers didn't have much choice. Since this ISD-III class is so heavily geared towards anti-ship combat, it is already using so much of that power on its shields and cannon. In addition if the interdiction spheres have to protrude from the hull as they do on the Interdictors, then this could conflict with the firing arcs of the ISD-III's batteries. Correcting these problems for one ship probably wouldn't be in the Empire's best interest if they need a new capitol ship now.
Someone get fractal sponge on this. A render by him would look amazing.
Yes! Please make another video about some fan designs! Also, how do you rotate the camera like this in EAW?
Video Idea for you. What are those like Suborbital Quad defensive turrets mostly used for what are their variants and how do they differ for planets at war VS a planet or system defending from common things? maybe a cool video?
ISD 3: Allegiance Boogaloo
Suggestion:
The Trade Federation ground forces at the battle of Naboo vs The Terran Federation ground Forces at the battle of Klendathu
Well that is a pain I had my own in my universe
Looks sort of like an Allegiance with more curves. It's also pretty similar in size as well.
That is a beautiful ship! I just tried searching it on Pinterest and couldn’t find it sadly 😕. Overall I think it would be a great ship for the FO in the new EU. Overall I would use that ship as a support ship due to its lack of speed and maneuvering in battle. Overall I wish we get a ship like this in future movies of comics.
So the Nebula-class is a official Star Wars ship in Legends?
Pretty sure that was the NR's second most powerful warship design. Number one belongs to the Viscount-Class Dreadnaught...
BlackShogun 27 thanks for the info
They also had an Executor.
The ISD III reminds me of what could’ve been a Republic Super Star Destroyer. (late clone war)
Yeah I like it too
It’s a great star destroyer so the middle ground between star destroyer and star dreadnaught
I love fannon ships and breakdowns
I wish we saw more large ships from different races. Like a zabrak cruiser or a hutt warship. I just find it hard to believe that there are only three ship makers
Star Destroyers are one of my favorite Sci fi ships. Isd 3 is one of my favorite ships in empire at war
I was thinking, if each captain of and ISD would return to the shipyards to get a brand new model and to drop off the old one for scrap to make new ones that would make the turn out of better technology and better designs much much quicker, and they'd still be able to use the old ships to add to the resources needed to create the newer ships, just a thought that would be cool I think
Man, I really need to learn to mod for EaW.
Hey got an Idea - Repurposment of Venator. Venator has a huge main hangar that goes all the way to the front. What if you used this hangar to store heavy missiles, and launched them from the front? = Missile cruiser!
The missile penetration isnt quite the advantage you may think.
Sure a few bombers can pop a corvette and not even need to down its shields, but you heaviest DPS is capitol ship energy weapons which shields do stop, this means your missle attacks dont matter unless they can kill a subsystem (in mods with subsystems), or bring the hull to 0 (or enough to trigger inpaired speed, varies by mod).... at least until the shields go down, then you have a target with an allready damaged hull, but given how shield regen works in the game this can mean shield penetration can actually prolong more evenly matched battles, and makes rebel bombers (Ywing/Bwing) more dangerous because they have ion cannons (once again, in most mods).
I wonder if anyone has done an improved venator, would be pretty cool to see a vid on one.
I don't know if this should even be called an ISD-III, because its not a direct upgrade of the ISD-II.
Its an entirely new ship and though it clearly honors the ISD lineage, it should have a separate name, because it simply is not just an upgunned and uparmored ISD-II, which is what the ISD-II was, for the ISD-I.
Maybe a "Conqueror-Class" or something along those lines would have made a more appropriate name, because from the size differences, and structural variations, it clearly is not just an ISD-II with more stuff added, its a whole new ship.
Personally I think a way better idea for the imperial 3 would involve automating most of the ship since the imperial 2 required far too many hands to make sense in war as well as having great sensors inside and out so nobody could really sneak aboard, by the way the imperial 2 and nearly all empire ships and bases also have those sensors already but they ignore that they exist in star wars otherwise plot couldn't happen. Other than that they should add weapons able to hit behind them and make the bridge inside the ship
I have a feeling that the justification for the missiles penetrating shields is that they are probably enveloped in an energy shroud, similar to a proton torpedo. Although I am basing this deduction off information from The New Essential Guide to Warfare and I have no idea if everything in there is still canon.
I always figured that it was because shields in Star Wars acted like a non-Newtonian fluid. Weapons like the primary laser batteries hit the energy field with enough speed and force that it "hardens" up like when you hit a non-Newtonian fluid. Missiles and other solid objects might be traveling slow enough that they can pass through the shield and impact the hull.
The Galatic Empire at The Beginning of The Imperial Senate needed One Quadrillion VSD2s, One Quadrillion VSD3s, One Quadrillion ISD1s One Quadrillion ISD2s and One Quadrillion ISD3s Added To The Imperial Navy.
Wonder how the counterpart of that ISD will be for the Rebels/New Republic, probably will be the MC90 or even a new model made for warfare
Can you do a video on new weapons that capital ships could/should use?? Instead of turbo lasers, ships could use Self Propelled Heavy Artillery cannons. So this venator for ex could replace the 6 heavy turbo lasers they have and put 4 SPHA’s on the ship for ex. Or a Imperial could have 16 SPHA’s. It’s a hypothetical thing that could be better than turbo lasers based off how powerful they are in The movies. And in the shows and movies, ships only fire like 3 turbo lasers ever at a time it looks like so might as well have a powerful gun. The SPHA could just be modified that it sits in the shit obviously and then the gun just rotates on top. And it has its own power source so it doesn’t really take power from the ship. Increasing the ships shield or thruster or power for other things too.... I think it would be an amazing thought and video to discuss? Something new that no one talks about!!!
It's like the Zaku III of Star Destroyers, bigger, rougher-n-tougher, more varied armament, forever destined to be eclipsed by its older cousins.
Then after III there will be a “Super Imperial Class” where all 3 Destroyers will be in one. In there’s of size, capacity, weaponry, engines, shields, etc
Could you ever talk about the Revenge-class heavy character? I know it from IMPS: The Relentless, but there may be more appearances of it.
How would the Star Wars Republic and/or Empire match up with the Starcraft Terran Confederacy and/or the Protoss?
What Star Wars faction would do the best against the zerg?
When you escaping from Imperials in your CR-90 and one of these bad boys pull up
As a side note: have any modders ever looked into if its possible to garrison fighters in carriers like infantry in transports and bunkers ?
Glatatic vs idea. Combine from half life vs the forerunner empire at its peak. Plz do it this is the 4th time I've requested it
This is cool, but I would have rather they gone with the existing ideas for an upgraded ISD that we already have. Like you mentioned, the Anakin Solo, and also the Mon Mothma and Elegos A'kla. Man, no one really compares with Corey's Thrawn's Revenge mod. No one comes close. He's working on those ISDs for the mod.
I wouldn't mind if they use this as a bridge between a Resurgent and an imperial 2
Fanon is awesome in fact me and my friends have our own fanon universe called fanon 27
Aesthetically pleasing? Yes
Fighter-Capacity? You got it
Point-Defence? _Oui_
Hotel? Trivago
Hey Eckhart, awesome video. Fanon designs are very much a mixed bag, but I do have a few favorites myself. When it comes to Star Wars I think the answer is obvious, Fractal Sponge's work is just an a level of its own. I like when Fanon designs make tweaks and changes in a sort of "Line of succession" kind of way. I also enjoy seeing certain more "out there" designs so long as there's some basis for it within the lore.
I'd like to suggest a couple of Star Trek Fanon designs that I've found to be exceptional. So here's a brief list.
- 1st spot for me is the Century Class (USS Enterprise - F) by DJ Curtis i.pinimg.com/originals/fe/58/a8/fe58a8b2fa87319a3c6eeaa28d654d47.png = This ship builds on the Sovereign / Intrepid Class with elongated Saucer Section and the Engineering Section being built directly onto the saucer.
- 2nd spot for me is the Courageous Class (USS Courageous) by MayhemUK i.pinimg.com/originals/48/c1/8d/48c18d5b45ad7bc930c1d565366ed9a5.jpg = This ship builds on the Defiant. The basic idea being that after the Dominion War, Starfleet noted the Defiant's effectiveness in combat and designed a new ship with that in mind. I like how it tends to merge design elements from more standard Starfleet designs and the Defiant. You can just about make out a Saucer Section and Engineering Section in this design.
- 3rd spot for me is the Excalibur Class. (USS Excalibur) by i.pinimg.com/originals/8a/44/78/8a4478e65c397f31ee2bded2487d731a.jpg = Builds on the Galaxy, Sovereign and Excelsior Classes. Essentially takes all the roles of those ships and builds them into one. Almost excessively large really, hence why it is 3rd spot for me.
Fans know what to do
I call the ISD III the dagger
I know its not Canon (yet) lol but the isd 3 looking amazing
Why didn't they put a large specialist device that requires the ability to stay close to be effective in their new, slow, general purpose combat vessel? Considering that these things were deployed with newer, better TIEs, I'm somewhat surprised they put AA on it.
Imperial-III vs. Resurgent - which ship would win?
Yo,ecks,just a question.What would be your definition of a "perfect ship"?(Can be a starfighter, bomber,cruiser,etc)
