BSG DEADLOCK: www.slitherine.com/bsgdeadlock store.steampowered.com/app/544610 Hope you all enjoy this first installment, i'm tremendously grateful to have the chance to work on an official project like this dealing with canon ships. :) I hope you'll all check out Deadlock when it's released, I myself can't wait to play it. :)
Spacedock so you're obviously a huge sci-fi fan (never would've guessed huh) so how does it feel to work alongside a actually canon entry in such a legendary series as this.
Pretty much the ship that carries my opening move. Fly to targets, expand the Dradis range to max to identify targets, then fly it back to the fleet. The only thing that can catch it are Raiders so it serves to drag their fighters into flak and anti fighter turrets.
"It's only concern is front and aft" I can easily see this to be honest. It's meant to charge in at full speed screaming "YOLO", blow tf out of its target, fly under/over it (because it's so bloody fast), and continue moving forward to escape. Technically there is also the bottom and/or top, but that is only a factor for a small amount of time, even for a military engagement.
I almost never see anybody talk about (IMHO) the Manticore's true strength, it's absolutely bonkers DRADIS range. In the mid game I regularly keep a single Manticore to complement my Artemis/Adamant fleets, deployed ahead of the formation with max defensive posture to ID Cylon ships. The second they loose munitions I boost engines back to the fleet and through an Artemis flak screen, and their ID'd ships are easy pickings for a 1x Artemis 3x Adamant missile salvo, Vipers can mop up the rest.
I am seriously in love with the Manticore class It's speed is amazing It's flanking potential is godlike It has the ability to use torpedoes And it has the durability to take a few hits (not many mind you, but a fair few)
@@shepherdlavellen3301 In the mid to late game sure, but in the early game and as midgame escorts for comanderless fleets they do well enough What I've found is if the target has a blindspot, the Manticore is the ship to exploit it
These little things were so useful that I continued to use them further along in the campaign than I probably should have. I would have a couple of them go around in a wide arc and come in behind to flank the enemy while my larger ships kept their attention, so that even if they turned as to present their less damaged side to the main attacking force, I would still have the corvettes there to hit their weaker side and hopefully finish them off before they could retreat.
From what I've seen so far,it seems that the developers are staying very true to the lore.That's not something you see very often when people make video games based on tv series/movies.I hope it will live up to my expectations.
The fact alone that so much thought was put into the units of this game makes me very, very happy and excited! I love the design, the background - everything fits in rather well. 700 crew certainly sounds like a lot, but considering the scale of Battlestars, it fits right in.
I'm a beta tester for Deadlock, and am subject to an NDA. The Manticore class vessel is indeed fast, packs a powerful punch, and you're gonna love Deadlock!
Favourite ship in the game so far. I've got one ship; which I've named the Rocinante, because of course; which has single-handedly killed a quarter of all the ships Iv'e destroyed so far. Its so fast and manoeuvrable that the absence of weapon emplacements on its flanks really doesn't matter, and the ability to fire missiles just puts it over the top. A truly awesome little ship.
Wow, congratulations! Nice to see that some of the creative powers out there are starting to notice the good work you're doing here. I can't wait to get this game myself. I'm looking forward to more great videos about it while we wait!
My first play through of Ghost Fleet I tried subbing the Manticore for an Orion as my forward scout. Thing somehow flew into its own nuke and died. I have since returned to the Manticore.
Empire at War is one Star Wars game that needs to be rebooted! Having it set between the Battle of Endor and the Battle of Jakku would be great becasue not only would you have to deal with the New Republic and the Empire, but all the new pirate and criminal factions too! :D
it would be lovely to build an armada again, enter into battle and just watch my TIE-fighters fight the last of the rebel scums in their X-wings and Y-wings in cinematic mode
Richard Ched They may even be able to do all three eras! They did it with Battlefront, and a top down strategy game would not need nearly as detailed models.
Mit Whit Gaming I would love that so much. I play alot of EAW mods. Republic at War, Thrawn's Revenge. It would be nice to have multiple eras in one game at release. :)
The crew stats for these ships put into perspective the size of the vessel. The game shows every ship to be about the same size, besides the battlestars. So having these stats will help immersion as well, since if one ship is destroyed, about 800 personnel will be gone from their families. if there was an emotional aspect to the game, then you'll begin to feel a portion of the weight of being a leader.
It's like carrying 40lbs of emotional and mental weight every time you go into combat. Not including your leadership responsibilities and execution of the mission plan.
Lot of big ships in the Colonial fleet, the Jupiter class is almost 1,500 meters long. When stacked up against it's contemporaries it fits the corvette role well.
Well the ships of BSG are rather big and corvette fits it role as a extremely fast attack vessel, it would be that or a frigate though frigates would often have more anti fighter weapons.
In Battlestar Galactica there is no "energy shielding" or anything like you'd see in Star Wars/Trek/Gate to protect against nuclear weapons. Logically, this means that bigger is generally better, as a bigger ship has more armor plating and mass to resist the impact of such weaponry.
I really like this design! Fits in my view if what a military starship should look like. My only gripe is it seems under armed for a 600 meter ship but this is battlestar. No phasers or turbo lasers, just rail guns and nukes. Still think they should have a few side guns just to be thorough.
I don't quite know if you've covered it, I'm a bit new here, but I was wondering if you could take a look at the Prowler from Halo if you haven't already. Also wow I think I need to watch Battlestar Galactica, these new videos covering ships from the series has me interested so great job covering them lol
Daniel, can you please do a mini series where you play bsg deadlock and review your battle afterwards, and/ or we could send our replays for you to review and include the best in your videos
It's about damn time we got a BSG game. And from what I saw on EnterElysium's beta play, I looks great. BSG online was fun at first but just became unplayable later on.
Lately I've been thinking about if it would work to adapt ancient and medieval tactics to space combat, so here's an interesting idea, the next time you're playing battlestar Galactica deadlock, try having a fleet of mercury and Galactica class battlestars along with several manticore class Corvettes use the hammer and anvil against a cylon fleet.
when the ship's dimensions are told you realize the crazy size of BSG ships. A Star Trek Galaxy Class is 640 meters long... 40 meters longer than this thing. And this thing is a Corvette... The Raider class corvette of Star Wars, a franchise known for crazy ship designs is only 150 meters long. AGH!
This is supposed to be small? It’s half the length of Galactia’s canon length (roughly 1300 meters) or a third of Pegasus’s (1700 meters)! I’m not complaining at all but when I heard corvette I thought of something the size of the Tantive IV from Star Wars, and that thing is apparently 150 meters
The Desing of the manticore Class corvette looks like at an mixture of the Normandy[SR-1] Class frigate from Video game Mass Effect and the Stalwart frigate from Video Game Line Halo. ^^
Before the war, the Twelve Colonies of Kobol were separate nations. They traded with each other, exchange culture with each other, fought each other, and even conquered each other. During this time, and most of history prior to it, it was very much every Colony for itself. Loose alliance, federations, and international agreements existed but mankind was far from unified. For a period. Gemenon and Caprica were fighting Virgon. More importantly, the war completely rewrote politics and Colonial society. Early in the conflict, the Colonies banded together and unified under the Articles of Colonization. Each of the Twelve Colonies joined together in a federal government and their militaries were pooled into the Colonial Fleet to combat the Cylon threat. To this day, the peoples that had previously competed and warred with one another remain united as a race in this system and the Colonial Fleet continues to grow and stand guardian over humanity. Unification and the war had smaller effects as well. Caprica managed to maneuver its way past Virgon to be the leading political power and eventually the seat of Colonial government. With unification came perks for other worlds such as Picon receiving the boost of Fleet HQ and Scopria becoming the site of the main Fleet shipyards. Meanwhile, Tauron, formerly one of if not the poorest of Colonies, regularly dominated by its neighbors, managed to pull itself up, heavily industrialize, and compete for the first time as an equal player in the new federal system.

I love small warships and that is funny saying that about a Manti because it is 1800ft long just don't know if I buy the 700 crew compliment that ship is mostly engine where they all hanging out at lol, if I were to assign it a crew number I would say no more than 200.
Both B&C and Caprica are canon, but this game takes place between them. Where B&C is in the tenth year of the First Cylon War, this game covers the first few years of the conflict.
+Mammoth Mk3 I thought the whole point of the Galactica was that it wasn't Technologically Advanced. The Blood and Chrome Version had Networked Computers (So did the Viper Mk IIIs) Why would they decrease the Armament by the time of Razor Flashbacks?
Richard Ched Simple: Plot demand, and technology plus logical thinking march on. About technology, almost all of what you see in the movie is CGI, since Blood and Chrome have less fund than the TV series, so you can not afford to build everything like you did for the TV shoe. And Logical, sure it's logical that you downgtade your tech because the Cylon can hack your computer, but in the long run that will hurt the Colonial, because the Cylon constantly upgrade their tech while the Colonial side became stagnant. Yes, you can brag all about all Colonial ship is superior in armor and firepower compare to Cylon ship, but remember: Battle may win in ship, but war is won in factory. The Cylon have superior number, superior tech, and most of all, superior industrial capabiilities, so the Colonial will have to do everything they can to catch up, including their technological advance.
Been thinking about giving gameplay videos ago, and Deadlock does seem like the perfect kinda pace to discuss the ships while playing etc. Never done gameplay screen capture before though, i'll have to look into it.
The game looks decent, puts together Battlefleet Gothic and Star Wars Empire at War. Didn't try to overdue it on the visuals and limited tactical options, but still developing. Some of the camera work in the game did make me wonder about VR.
Interesting little ship. Why does it have 100 Marines for security and >boarding< when the ship has no aircraft of its own? A ship of this size should at least have 2 Raptors.
If the Manticore class corvette carries 100 Marines for ship security and boarding operations, how do the marines board another ship if there isn't any embarked shuttles and Raptors?
So I just realised something. When Admiral Cain is telling the story of the pegasus's survival to Adama and Roslin she mentions losing 700 crewmembers while escaping. Pegasus lost an entire Manticore l's worth of people in the opening hours of the second war.
Really enjoy your videos a lot... great content! I have to say ... and I know its not your doing... seems that Sci Fi tends to be off on their scale. For example.. the Manticore is 1800 feet long ... twice the length of the Titanic? 600 ft Wide? Really? With a crew of 800 total? I served on large ish ships before... and these ship scales seem very exaggerated to me. For crying out loud.. this is a Corvette... the smallest class of pretty much any Navy? Anyway, love your content and love the game... I hope they'll do a Viper vs Raider space sim some time
it's really only good in the very early game before you can build anything else or to fill up any extra space you have in your fleet. their speed is really a non factor since they have such poor armor and such have to be kept at a far distance from the enemy.

Hope you all enjoy this first installment, i'm tremendously grateful to have the chance to work on an official project like this dealing with canon ships. :) I hope you'll all check out Deadlock when it's released, I myself can't wait to play it. :)
Spacedock Always wanted more on the first Cylon war. Blood&Crome was a little disappointing and I always wanted more.
Spacedock so you're obviously a huge sci-fi fan (never would've guessed huh) so how does it feel to work alongside a actually canon entry in such a legendary series as this.
@Alex Gellel Not gonna lie, I am supremely chuffed to be working on this :D :D :D
Spacedock I'm a sci-fi fan too......
Stoked for this games release, that's pretty awesome that marketing department contact you to promote. Guess Spacedock is in the big league s now.
Can you imagine Adama's joy if a few Manticore's and a Janus had survived the Cylon attack and joined him.
Pretty much the ship that carries my opening move. Fly to targets, expand the Dradis range to max to identify targets, then fly it back to the fleet. The only thing that can catch it are Raiders so it serves to drag their fighters into flak and anti fighter turrets.
@@davfree9732don’t forget debris mines
i love how this ship looks sleek and all, while still retaining that bit of realistic design and the overall... "crocodile" shape for the bow.
I know little-to-nothing about Battlestar Galactica, but I'm loving pretty much everything about these little ships. Looks, tactics, even the name.
If you haven't already you should really look at getting into it. Battlestar Galactica is a very underappreciated franchise
"It's only concern is front and aft"

It's flanking potential is godlike
It has the ability to use torpedoes
And it has the durability to take a few hits (not many mind you, but a fair few)
It does strike a nice balance of speed and firepower. I like how it fills the gap between Vipers and the larger Colonial warships.
dies like flies when fighting anything that can shoot back
@@shepherdlavellen3301 In the mid to late game sure, but in the early game and as midgame escorts for comanderless fleets they do well enough
What I've found is if the target has a blindspot, the Manticore is the ship to exploit it
@@shayminthedoctor9663 fair but in my experience they get replaced and outclassed by Adamant very fast
yeah battlestar!
That's how commercials should be done, nice, thumbs up :)

As large as this Corvette is, imagine how big that cannon on the front is.
You forgot to say the most important thing ...
*SO SAY WE ALL !!!*

Thank you for doing this Spacedock. I always come back to these when I'm wanting sci-fi breakdowns
The Manticore Class Corvette has proven to be quite the ship especially in times of war.
1:03 Ik this is sci-fi, but does anyone else find it funny how twice the length of a Nimitz-class supercarrier is considered, “Compact”
Favourite ship in the game so far. I've got one ship; which I've named the Rocinante, because of course; which has single-handedly killed a quarter of all the ships Iv'e destroyed so far.

Is Jim Holden the Captain?
I look forward to the rest of this series, thank you for your hard work and time.
One can never get enough Battlestar Galactica !
So excited for this game! Thank you to the people behind spacedock for seeing BSG as a masterpiece, just as I do 😂
The Manticore is an awesome Colonial warship !
Wow, congratulations! Nice to see that some of the creative powers out there are starting to notice the good work you're doing here. I can't wait to get this game myself. I'm looking forward to more great videos about it while we wait!

Gotta get EA on board with Petroglyph, then. Might be hard to do that.
Mit Whit Gaming or the Remnant Conflicts that took place after Jakku.

600m long and crewed by 700? in what world is that a corvette its fucking huge
john shepherd the battlestar galactica world.. hope that answers your question
Lot of big ships in the Colonial fleet, the Jupiter class is almost 1,500 meters long. When stacked up against it's contemporaries it fits the corvette role well.
shit the bed, didnt realise the scale of the BSG ships. Still a big 'ol corvette though

thanks man good work.
That ship is extremely stylish.

Some PDS guns would be appropriate, weird that as a corvette it doesn't seem to be ideal for anti-fighter duties.
This is my third favorite ship
I am curious if we are going to see some capital ships from before the cylon war - kind of the predecessors to the Battlestar.
In a couple of weeks time i'll be showing off a Light Battlestar model that predates the Jupiter Class (Galactica, Columbia etc.)
Can you please do a video on the Hammer head fighter from Space Above and Beyond? Love the series
Good pick. I also vote for Spacedock to profile the Hammerhead.
I don't quite know if you've covered it, I'm a bit new here, but I was wondering if you could take a look at the Prowler from Halo if you haven't already.
Also wow I think I need to watch Battlestar Galactica, these new videos covering ships from the series has me interested so great job covering them lol
Prowler are a type of ship focused on stealth and not a class.
I wonder what this ship looks like with the TRS Razor Flashback Un-Armored Aesthetics
Hope you do more videos on the BSG ships based on this game :D
This ship reminds me of the Andorian Kumari-class battle-cruiser.
You need to do the Mercury Class Battlestar sometime, that would be great !
Everytime i use these ships i keep thinking to myself that from certain angles the manticore reminds me of the Intrepid class from star trek.
I usually use it as a recon vessel so that I know what I’m up against and then can concentrate my missiles on the most dangerous target
Daniel, can you please do a mini series where you play bsg deadlock and review your battle afterwards, and/ or we could send our replays for you to review and include the best in your videos
Looks like star trek ship with its wrap engines tucked in and shielded.
It's about damn time we got a BSG game. And from what I saw on EnterElysium's beta play, I looks great. BSG online was fun at first but just became unplayable later on.
YESSSSS! I AM SO FUCKING HYPED FOR THIS
Loving these deadlock proving grounds spacedock thanks so much, when will we see the basestar???
Very cool
I've changed my mind about this ship. I like having one to spot so I don't have to bring my battlestars to close.
Lately I've been thinking about if it would work to adapt ancient and medieval tactics to space combat, so here's an interesting idea, the next time you're playing battlestar Galactica deadlock, try having a fleet of mercury and Galactica class battlestars along with several manticore class Corvettes use the hammer and anvil against a cylon fleet.

The Raider class corvette of Star Wars, a franchise known for crazy ship designs is only 150 meters long. AGH!
This is supposed to be small? It’s half the length of Galactia’s canon length (roughly 1300 meters) or a third of Pegasus’s (1700 meters)! I’m not complaining at all but when I heard corvette I thought of something the size of the Tantive IV from Star Wars, and that thing is apparently 150 meters
The Desing of the manticore Class corvette looks like at an mixture of the Normandy[SR-1] Class frigate from Video game Mass Effect and the Stalwart frigate from Video Game Line Halo. ^^
Also that was a great ship. I still had two in the last battle. Armed with nukes of course.
Reminds me of the Andorian Kumari Class.
Pride of hiigara
I'd like to see background on the Mercury class
What enemies were the Colonials fighting prior to Cylons to require such a massive fleet and advanced warfare doctrines?
Well, fighting among each other. ( Prior to the 1st Cylon War, most of the Colony didn't get along very well)
Before the war, the Twelve Colonies of Kobol were separate nations. They traded with each other, exchange culture with each other, fought each other, and even conquered each other. During this time, and most of history prior to it, it was very much every Colony for itself. Loose alliance, federations, and international agreements existed but mankind was far from unified. For a period. Gemenon and Caprica were fighting Virgon. More importantly, the war completely rewrote politics and Colonial society. Early in the conflict, the Colonies banded together and unified under the Articles of Colonization. Each of the Twelve Colonies joined together in a federal government and their militaries were pooled into the Colonial Fleet to combat the Cylon threat. To this day, the peoples that had previously competed and warred with one another remain united as a race in this system and the Colonial Fleet continues to grow and stand guardian over humanity.
Unification and the war had smaller effects as well. Caprica managed to maneuver its way past Virgon to be the leading political power and eventually the seat of Colonial government. With unification came perks for other worlds such as Picon receiving the boost of Fleet HQ and Scopria becoming the site of the main Fleet shipyards. Meanwhile, Tauron, formerly one of if not the poorest of Colonies, regularly dominated by its neighbors, managed to pull itself up, heavily industrialize, and compete for the first time as an equal player in the new federal system.
More mass effect? Maybe the destiny ascension or the geth dreadnaught?
where'd the info about Adm. McKenny come from?
who were they fighting before the cylons ?

I love small warships and that is funny saying that about a Manti because it is 1800ft long just don't know if I buy the 700 crew compliment that ship is mostly engine where they all hanging out at lol, if I were to assign it a crew number I would say no more than 200.
I wonder if Blood and Chrome or Caprica is canon. I'm hoping not... I actually love the ideas this game introduces.
Both B&C and Caprica are canon, but this game takes place between them. Where B&C is in the tenth year of the First Cylon War, this game covers the first few years of the conflict.
I like the design of Galactica in Blood and Chrome, more apropriate considering the technology in the series and how to exploit them. ;)
+Mammoth Mk3 I thought the whole point of the Galactica was that it wasn't Technologically Advanced. The Blood and Chrome Version had Networked Computers (So did the Viper Mk IIIs) Why would they decrease the Armament by the time of Razor Flashbacks?
Richard Ched Simple: Plot demand, and technology plus logical thinking march on.
About technology, almost all of what you see in the movie is CGI, since Blood and Chrome have less fund than the TV series, so you can not afford to build everything like you did for the TV shoe.
And Logical, sure it's logical that you downgtade your tech because the Cylon can hack your computer, but in the long run that will hurt the Colonial, because the Cylon constantly upgrade their tech while the Colonial side became stagnant. Yes, you can brag all about all Colonial ship is superior in armor and firepower compare to Cylon ship, but remember: Battle may win in ship, but war is won in factory. The Cylon have superior number, superior tech, and most of all, superior industrial capabiilities, so the Colonial will have to do everything they can to catch up, including their technological advance.
So where were they at the last Cylon attack?
Probably phased out by the fall of the colonies. Either that, or they were destroyed off screen.
How did I never see these???
Please do Mon-Calamary Battleship, the one from Jedi Returns, or Home-1 of Admiral Akbar.
hello , you forgot to make an introduction to the Minotaur ship
Hey Spacedock, any thoughts on doing a LetsPlay on this when it drops?
Been thinking about giving gameplay videos ago, and Deadlock does seem like the perfect kinda pace to discuss the ships while playing etc. Never done gameplay screen capture before though, i'll have to look into it.
I for one would love to see this. I enjoy your commentary on your other vids, and a game like this seems perfect for it.
when will you guys make a introduction for the minotaur ship ?
They really need to reboot the series.
when are you doing a review for the Minotaur ship ?
Can you do a series on the Starship Troopers and Halo especially the Guardians
The game looks decent, puts together Battlefleet Gothic and Star Wars Empire at War. Didn't try to overdue it on the visuals and limited tactical options, but still developing. Some of the camera work in the game did make me wonder about VR.
Interesting little ship. Why does it have 100 Marines for security and >boarding< when the ship has no aircraft of its own? A ship of this size should at least have 2 Raptors.
This game does look interesting, just wondering if we'll see plenty of new cylon ship designs.
Got a couple of very cool new Cylon designs coming up on this series, first of em is next Tuesday. :D
Hi spacedock does this play list cover the dlc ships
FUCK YEAH BOIIIII
Can you cover the Darth Revan's flagship, model Interdictor-class cruiser from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic?
Are there any plans to do the rest of the ships? Or was this a limited run?
If the Manticore class corvette carries 100 Marines for ship security and boarding operations, how do the marines board another ship if there isn't any embarked shuttles and Raptors?
Bradley Clark they're Marines, they'll figure it out
SWAT tactic? ( Conidering the Colonial Marines in thie series is too underarmed and armored for combat)
So I just realised something. When Admiral Cain is telling the story of the pegasus's survival to Adama and Roslin she mentions losing 700 crewmembers while escaping.
Pegasus lost an entire Manticore l's worth of people in the opening hours of the second war.
Damn. Put in that context her later actions make a lot more sense. Still wrong mind you
I feel early, oh so early...
A small vessel. 700 crew, 100 Marines.🤣
Really enjoy your videos a lot... great content! I have to say ... and I know its not your doing... seems that Sci Fi tends to be off on their scale. For example.. the Manticore is 1800 feet long ... twice the length of the Titanic? 600 ft Wide? Really? With a crew of 800 total? I served on large ish ships before... and these ship scales seem very exaggerated to me. For crying out loud.. this is a Corvette... the smallest class of pretty much any Navy? Anyway, love your content and love the game... I hope they'll do a Viper vs Raider space sim some time
One of the smallest types of ships in the colonial fleet is larger than the Battleship MCRN Donnager.
Is this partof tos or the rebot?
2004 Reboot continuity, taking place during the first cylon war (about 50 years before the show)
You should do a lore video on the game VEGA conflict
I assume that you're quite excited for the new game
You assume correctly :)
it's really only good in the very early game before you can build anything else or to fill up any extra space you have in your fleet. their speed is really a non factor since they have such poor armor and such have to be kept at a far distance from the enemy.
Ah yes, the Manticore frigate.
the BSG version of the UNSC frigates from Halo.
The two engine pods make it so obvious.
Okay I know this video is old and stuff but 600 M long that's not even a Corvette that's a Heavy Cruiser
The graphics remind me of Sins of a Solar Empire. Is BSG Deadlock using the same game engine?
Am i the only one who thinks this ship looks like a rotund halo frigate
700 crew in a corvette? Should be 25-50.
lets have BLAKES 7 LIBERATOR
Just found out the game had no collision avoidance opps
James the cat that could actually be a useful feature if all else fails.
600M is ridiculously long for a ship of this purpose and armament...
Do space ball 1\mega maid.
I take it the ships from BSGO will not make an appearance in this game
Andrew Ziegler BSG online is a mediocre mmorpg with a mediocre non-canon story set during the Exodus. This game is set during the first* cylon war
This game is set during the First cylon war.
well to be fair, most of the ships in BSGO ARE from the first Cylon war. Fairly sure BSGO isn't cannon, though.
