improve the empire?

1- Stop using regular Tie-Fighters, upgrade to Tie advanced or Tie Defender. Yeah, it might cost a lot, but it's worth it.

2- Organize days to celebrate the Emperor. Show him like a paternal figure. Well no, forget about that. No kids want to see Palpy's face.

3- Mmmm increased taxation to prepare the assault on the ST galaxy.
Mmm that one is for the SW vs ST forum. Forget it too.

Well, just keep number 1... or give me the rank of Emperor of the Galactic Empire

I would decentralize command, and try to stop having an Emperor who controls military operations. He should have jurisdiction over all domestic matters, and the military should be allowed to do its job. Also, I would institute a policy of using picket-ships to defend large capital ships by screening them from enemy vessels. It might have made a difference at Endor.

Yoy odn't have to show the Emperor's pruney face in public. You can picture him as a big, tough guy with a white smile.

If I had to improve the Empire, I would just toughen it up, promise an ISD in every system, and a Stromtrooper on every street corner.

*Clone Thrawn and get him back to taking over the Unknow Sectors and still back here in Command of the Fleet

*Have Vadar shot, We don't need homsidel Manics,

*Keep Loran churing out Holo-Features the guy kicks ass from the recruit statment(After one of his pictures came out Enlistment went up 4%! 4%! when your talking about Millions of people the fact a movie can net you a few million BY ITSELF is very good)

Move Straite to the TIE-Defender Models on all Craft, Existing Ties are to be given to Plantary Defense

Expand Shipyards in the Correna system. and elsewhere thanks to what we know, we know we got the Vong and the Sis-Ruuku incoming at some points so we need to get them out of the way

*Find Bevil Lemisk and clone him to high hell, lets get some tecnoglical advancements if we ever hope to stand up to the Culture

*Perform some research into shielded TIEs that don't cost th earth.

*Appoint Thrawn as supreme commander, no-one can beat his over powered tactical skills.

*Save Vader for when people have really pissed you off otherwise he's real bad for morale.

*Execute Isard, she's not just a mass murderer she's also useless at her job.

*Redesign all star destroyers to not have the bridge sticking out with a big shoot here sign.

*Actually appoint officers based on competence, I mean when the likes of Admiral Ozzel get into the elite battle group you know something isn't right with the system.

*Cease construction of all superweapons and ships larger than an ISD-II, superweapons are SERIOUSLY bad for causing resistance and one SSD is far less flexible than 20 ISD-IIs or whatever you get for the same cost. Intimidation value is already high enough with the ISD you don't need Executors and things like that they just make people rise up against you.

*Execute Palpatine for being an overly arrogant, cackling liability to the Empire. Vader is useful, Palpatine is simply past his usefulness and will bring the Empire down with his genocidal ways.

*Don't perform mass purges on opposition, use peaceful methods they will engender far less resentment.

*Don't appoint physchopaths to positions of power. Tarkin and co are a liability.

No it is unwise to have a fleet solely based on destroyers keep on building larger ships such as the Allegiance class heavy destroyer and the Vengeance class battlecruiser, but reserve Executors only for the very highest commanders.

Oh and one more thign don't kill Palp but take him his political powers away, he can still be useful as Dark Side wizzard but it's you who has the true power.

Why? Seriously the ISD-II can outgun virtually anything else in the galaxy anyway and can take down any planetary shield so the firepower is more than adequate and if the ISD-II doesn't intimidate them then a SSD won't either.

They are overkill and inflexible.

No, he would never co-operate the man is a megalomaniac and would have to be disposed of. Vader would prove far more flexible, let him have his distractions with the rebels and his family they will keep him away from being dangerous.

What are you smokin man I want some

Or did you forget a little movie called the Empire strikes back, One Shield Genetor just big enough to provide a Theater shield for the Rebel base could not be knocked down by the entire group of ships Vadar had with him(EIGHT ISDs and a SSD!)
A full up Plantary shield is very hard to take down and only then you can only do it by briefly focusing ALOT of fire-power on one spot and then pushing through it, For example when the Lushayka blasted free it destoyed everything around it and alot of what was behind it and everything above it, Yet the shields in that Region STILL stayed up and only a full barrage of most of its weapons managed to punch a hole long enough for it to escape and still had to keep firing into the shield to prevent it from closing in over it

Coruscant has two planetary shields which I believe is unique in the galaxy, and if I remember correctly the shields crumpled as they weren't designed to withstand an attack from within.

On Hoth IIRC they had a planetary shield defending a very small area of the planet. It's not surprising they could hold them off under those circumstances.

When Thrawn attacked a planet, it was the one which had large amounts of crops I believe he attacked with only one ISD and they still thought he would be able to get through. Of course in the end he used that cloaked ship trick but still.

To be more exact when the ship came up it bascily BDZ around a hundred odd KM's of area plus whatever it did damage when it fire up that main drive of its, Keep in mind that Plantary shields are localiseh things, IE one generator protects ONE area to get a plantary shield you have fifty plus of the things working togther check the TIM's and the like they back me up on tis

On Hoth IIRC they had a planetary shield defending a very small area of the planet. It's not surprising they could hold them off under those circumstances.

They still had ONE shield generator not five, not twenty, one

One ISD and eight Dreadnots in case you forget and it seems to be roughly 5 or so Dreadnaughts = one ISD so he brough the equivlat of Two and a half ISD's with him
Also he intended if you notice to go in using the Cloacked ships to being with that was his intent don't need to show up with fifty if you just need one ship to pull the trick off
