Since it's the only one seen in the movies, it's also not surprising.

I'll take that as confirmation of them having one for Ascendency.

I would say the good ol' reliable Executor. No fancy superlasers, just enough raw firepower to wipe out an entire navy. The Sovereign is a close second, it's very... I suppose ominous is the best word. The Eclipse only looks good from the side, from any other angle it just looks a bit off.

After all the hype about the Eclipse from everyone in FoC and only being able to partially use it for one level makes it's full functionality in Thrawn's Revenge VERY satisfying.

I will admit when I play any of the GC's that advance in eras as the IR I'm very careful until I have my 3 Executors built, then send Isaard and Thrawn on suicide missions so that I can get The Eclipse, build my Sovereign, and have 3 Executors and lots of Praetors supporting them.  At that point I enjoy just SLAUGHTERING the NR mercilessly...

I'm the exact opposite. Just realized the other day that over half of my ICW screen-caps are of SSDs getting SLAUGHTERED by TIE Bombers, B-Wings, Katana-dreadnaughts etc.

The harder they come, the harder they fall.

I just want to make them kiss my wookiee  .

You would not like me ingame lol, I use my Reaper to scatter cap ships and then jump in tons of IPVs to shred fighters while leaving enough pop cap for Grant. Things look hairy I jump out, Interdictor present, I jump grant in point blank and take out the Grav gen, might lose grant but acceptable for traps.

I would love to answer this challenge in multiplayer. Has anyone done multiplayer battles with this Tunngle thing and a freshly patched ICW?

Firepower and hardpoint-heavy frigates are the bane of SSD + corvette fleets, offering plenty of cheap firepower to decimate the corvettes and start weakening the SSD.

A few light frigates like Corona and Kariek are sufficiently fast and well shielded to knife through SSDs fire to its blind sector and decimate any SSD fighter squadrons while damaging anything within range.

This can be countered with Praetors, but then you won't have enough corvettes on the field to prevent bomber spam.

Of course, the ICW AI would never be smart enough for either my or your tactics  .

Only difference for me is I will never risk Grant.  I'll risk a generic ISD-II, but I love to keep Grant in a fleet in more dangerous areas so that his bonuses help out if I get attacked by an SSD.

Yeah, usually for me I have one fleet containing Jerec as the centerpiece, one with Kaine as the centerpiece, and one as my "Executor Hunting Squad" that is a carrier-heavy fleet with a Praetor and Grant (and some Vic-2s for flanking).

it is never a danger I've found because by the time I bring grant in everything is focused on Reaper and the interdictor is always on the other side of the conflict

My favorite super star destroyer is Eclipse (Emperors Flagship), awesome destroyer .

Other then the Executor, the other SSDs are really just novelty. Sovereign/Eclipse is really just a overrated hypervelocity cannon that can be shot and moves. Executor actually *helps* your fleet. Sure, wiping MC90s or other SSDs are nice, but fighters do the same job for less cost.

While not as much offensive power as the Executor, they both still bring a TON of firepower to the fight.  Significantly more than hyped up hypervelocity guns.

You have a point.

[Guderian]

I'll go with the Sovereign.
You can take out any other ship with one shot. You just have to use it wisely ^^

Couldn't have said it any better myself.
