How to Captain an (ISD) Imperial Star Destroyer

The imperial class star destroyer is one truly infamous ship, striking fear into the hearts and minds of all, but if your reading this, then it is time for you to take charge and command one, which is not as daunting as it may seem. Today I take you through the basics of how to be an effective ISD captain, looking at what you can do make your crew respect you and what skills you need to command a vessel of this size, I also take you through the area of expertise you will most importantly need to excel at as captain, and that is war.

I'm a Naval Architect for the Imperial Navy. Got picked up from the old Seperatist shipyards and the design doctrine has been quite different.
Essentially all my ideas are thrown out with either "No, it has to be a triangle" or "No, the shields will cover it".

Instructions unclear, A rogue A Wing is now heading towards the bridge of my SSD

New Republic Captain here. Watching this video, so I can better understand how to best use my captured ISD. They are very different from a Mon Calamari Cruisers

[mechanicalfruit]

As a former engineer for the imperial star destroyer. I feel that this young man has the balls to become a captain

[gallendugall]

"Get to know where things are."
Immediately I remember being asked by an officer how to get to "Aft Battledress" on the OHP frigate I served on. There's just one passageway going aft so kind of hard to get lost. I pointed to the back of the ship and said, "Aft." I didn't say but I did think, "If you fall off the ship you went too far."

Admiral currently serving on board the ISD Core Envoy. We were just assigned a new tasking order, escorting cargo shipments from rampart station to sentinel base. These shipments will ensure the lasting peace and security of our Empire.
I believe this young and upcoming cadet will one day be a leader in our Star fighter core.
You can serve on my ship anytime.

Love the Dig at the ISD criticisms from youtubers, Love the vid

[underworldguardian]

But you’re not gonna treat your crew like that right?

-Darth Vader: and I took that personally

[BricksAndBots]

Great to see all the areas where my captain falls short

[bizmasterTheSlav]

That's a great guide! I sure hope the majority of my crew won't consist of rebel spies!

[kuronyaa-san]

"Apology accepted Captain Needa..."
"You have failed me for the last time." <sounds of gurgling> "You are now in charge... Captain..."

[Ittbitt]

Thank you bro i fell asleep during training and now im relying on this video oh crap vaders here

[iana]

Regarding the comment about the size of the Imperial Navy, I've read several sources which state that at its height, the Empire possessed something around 25, 000 Star Destroyers.

Currently captaining an ISD II, hopefully I can get on board an SSD soon. Review coming up in a few months, will let you all know.

[antwan]

Thanks for making this, it was very entertaining.

[willyjakob]

the uniqueness of the video deserves an instant sub from me!

[LOVES-A]

Make sure to learn the fields of fire for your turbo lasers and ion cannons and that you use your tie squadrons to help protect the rear and shield generators, learn to effectively use your ion cannons to disable enemy ships and your tractor beams to seize them, also the ISD was meant for broad side engagements against other ships not head to head engagements.

The most important thing is to always bring an Interdictor cruiser.

[laisphinto]

3:15 He IS lying AS He breaths but Sure i deploy your wing to make you feel important.

[jamesricker]

Remember: The primary purpose of the TIE wing is to serve as your Star Destroyer's point defense system. Two Captains forgot that at Scarif, and it cost them their lives
