Almost Heaven,
West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountans
Flowing like a breeze
-John Denver, "Country Roads"

Nice analysis. Do you have any plans of making profiles of the story villains?

[@BlastMagicianYGO]

I feel the need to note that I watched this before I went and made comments on the Colorado video, mostly because the Colorado class are some of my favorite ships, and I can get defensive. I'm curious how you measure what makes a ship good. Because both sisters get you through most of the game without issue, their FP alone can carry a lot of weight. If we're talking about the late game; I think calling any of the Big 7, (excluding Nagato, I assume) bad ships because they can't get through the onslaught of "New Mechanics" in later chapters is a little ridiculous, most ships in the game can't get you through the latest chapters, because they're not difficult missions, they're puzzles, there's really only one way to get through them, admittedly with a couple different possible combinations. If you're talking PVP, who even cares? I'm sure there are people sweaty enough to grind for top rankings in PVP, but it's not pivotal part of the game, it's not even fun.

It is rather odd how ships can be labelled "useless" or "garbage" etc.
It seems to be under the belief the ONLY game mode is the campaign and that's all.
Even pre-retrofit I see no issues taking WeeVee or any ship in the many different game modes.
You've still got all the event levels, the secondary story missions and Op-Siren.
There is quite LITERALLY no such thing as a bad ship in the game because they can all be used somewhere in the game.
