It might be or it might not be, this is something to ask the QM about. Personally I see no reason why we can't make slightly better droid models and/or production without a sharp drop in cost/time if we put in the research for it, and repeat that for a few years. As for infrastructure, that is largely going to he done through using a droid work force to replace any slave based work the Empire used to do, but even ignoring that it's generally a pretty good cost cutting measure to use machines in place of human beings.
That vote has passed already. We are on the next one.
No she won't. She will be restructuring the Navy over 10 years. Not making the Navy bad and only good after that. We need to make the navy different because the Imperial model is worthless for controlling and defending a realm. And the droids won't change that they will just countinue the same tactics with even more disposable units.
Naval restructuring can happen anyway, we don't need only Farryn for that. Heck, Thrawn in canon did precisely that without any of these advisors. As for weakening it, how else do you interpret "any such project will take a decade and leave your military in a weakened state."
That was only for the first batch, later iterations require only a year or two. And with Ysalamiri they can be reduced to just a couple months.
This is true but the Kaminoans are also known to be perfectionists, so it's likely that they viewed the accelerated method as inferior rather than inherently being incapable of it.
True I don't doubt they were incapable of it but as I said they had a much better training program which takes a lot of time then what the Spaarti's did and produced much better soldiers compared to the shitty Spaarti clones that Palpy used near the end of the CW.
And no all the Kamino clones took 10 years. The ones that took a year would be the Spaarti cloning that are in every way worse. The use of the Ysalamiri was used to make Spaarti clones in a few weeks instead of a couple of years.
Except he did not. Thrawn never got around to changing the Imperial Navy he still used the same structure. And that means that while it is being rebuilt it will not be as strong as it could be until it is done. But it doesn't mean it will be weak, broken, or ineffective until it is over. Because this is a complete retraining of the military and that takes time. But the more time goes by the better at the new tactics, strategies, doctrines, and thinking they become.
He used what ships he still had at the time but he made a large amount of changes, largely in terms of making more anti-starfighter ships like the Lancer and tailoring his strategies to counter the New Republic specifically.
Unless we are able to break down and rebuild ships way faster than I think we can, I have my doubts. It is not as simple of a matter as just retraining the crews, if the fleets are still comprised of the same ships as before then retraining will not be sufficient due to just plain lacking the tools. You cannot use an ISD to screen starfighters and you cannot use a Tie Fighter to destroy a frigate, that is simply how the vessels are. So unless we also overhaul the navy itself it won't work. And if we do overhaul all our fleets then we will be vulnerable in the middle of it because the transitionary phase is always the least suitable for full combat. If we plan to hole up for a longer time and manage to avoid any significant wars then fine, this can work, but we cannot guarantee that major war will not come to us.
No he did things with his own ships during his command. The rest of the Imperial forces remained the same. And no he used the Lancer more but he specifically focused on building more Star Destroyers at the ship yards he had under control.
You really don't understand what restructuring means do you. It is literally retraining and getting the people used to a new way of doing things. Ships are only one part of that. We will be focusing on building the fleet and the military up in the new way.
At what point would we hit greater effectiveness than when we started?
