I loved the Corvette design. Unlike the CCS, CAS, And CSO, it doesn't have the weakness of a relatively thin "neck" thanks to the wing-like designs on the bottom of it; which also somewhat protects the engines. Personally, I would love a CAS designed ship with those Wing-like designs
I disagree. The CCS, CRS, CAS, and CSO are really cool looking ships. Explain how you’d destroy a ship the size of the CSO. I bet you can’t think of a way to even exploit their weaknesses.
Has anyone noticed how versatile Covenant ships are in comparison to a lot of other sci-fi universes? Seriously, if I'm going to choose between between the CSO supercarrier or Executor-super star destroyer I'm going with the Covenant.

The most common definition of "corvette" is "the smallest type of named warship (as opposed to a numbered boat) in the fleet". That makes the term highly relative :P.
And bomb a city and deploy the troops to invade a military base while carrying enough fighters to screen out an enemy air force. But trust us, it's a corvette. It's a very pretty design, but I wish it wasn't a do-everything ship. It's appearance and size (decently sized hangar, lots of empty space underneath for docking of smaller vessels) would make it perfect as an Amphibious Assault Ship or equivalent (Landing Platform/Dock, Amphibious Transport Dock, etc.), something that sits near planets and supports invasions with pretty minimal ability to defend itself from other ships (I see 3 guns on each side, any others must be tiny).
@George White The USA reactivated Iowa class battleships because there armour made them immune to the anti ship missiles of the Kirov class nuclear powered heavy cruiser. So yeah a modern frigate or destroyer would just be food for a WW2 battleship especially since both types are usually WW2 cruiser size ships.

I always wanted to refit one of these for luxury. Gold plate the outside and put deep red carpets in the halls. Also a swimming pool in that center circular area.
I love the design of this ship, very reminiscent of StarCraft 1 Era Protoss Carriers in terms of art design. would like to see more of these in the series (and an RTS based on space combat)
Amazing video. I was hoping you'd do this one eventually. You get such a good showcase of it during the game (even the rare oppertunity to see a full engagement). Also, I always knew the corvette was pretty dense with weaponry. But geez, they crammed alot on it.
See that's why I love sci fi the lore is the best in all types of genre's it's so deep and interesting considering it's all made up you can lose yourself for hours at a time just this short video sucks you right in nothing beats it
Mentions of Atriox = instant like! Could you do a bio of him, or even an overview of the Banished? They've become my favourite Halo faction, and one of the best parts of Halo Wars 2.
I, out of personal preference would like to see an alteration to the combat capabilities against UNSC frigates as superior at close range engagements. Even in Reach we see that a single shot from a Paris class can demolish an SDV. The only reason we see the Savanna taken down is because it was to provide support and distraction for noble team's infiltration and take over of the SDV.
Gee, have you covered UNSC fleet assets encountering and deployed into a skirmish with a contingent of the Battlestar colonial fleet deployment? Or Covenant vs Cylon fleets yet? What do you think of those outcomes and how they'd play out? Go Spacedock! Awesome vid.
Halo Fleet Battles tabletop game died to young. I always wanted to try that game, but now the only way to get it is chasing down used figures and rulebooks on eBay. I keep saying I'll buy it one day, then I get online and see it going for ridiculous prices. I just pray 343i gives the tabletop gaming rights to another company someday for a spiritual sequel.
Spartan Games did not last long. It is a shame because the two big juggernauts Games Workshop and Privateer Press doesn't do starship games. Thing is FFG sort of killed them with their Star Wars miniature games.
I loved that we got to see half one of the ships in-game, and it actually made some sense in terms of rooms! Not just a collection of 1000 mile long hallways and corridors that seem to have not too much of a function. The only thing I'd love to see in the future is a barracks, armory and cantina for the Covenant
When looking at the scenery model inside the Reclaimer tool I was actually surprised they made the rooms to scale with the exterior as opposed to The Pillar of Autumn, or to a lesser extend, The Truth and Reconciliation.
a testiment to how ludicrously large Halo ships are compared to other sci-fi I.P.'s designs, a Covenant CORVETTE is the same size (roughly) as a Victory-Class STAR DESTROYER, a dedicated Battleship in Star Wars.
I was wondering since you have done the Thunderbirds, are you ever going to do a video on the Eagle transport of Space:1999? I'd love to see a video on that!
Its ridiculous how big the power difference was with this tiny ship being able to shrug off shots from MACs with its shields up and frying enemy ships with its weapons
it depends on the ship its up against. Human ships of an equal tonnage were vastly outmatched by covvie defenses and weapons tech. However putting this ship 1 v 1 against a UNSC heavy cruiser, carrier or orbital MAC tips the scales. But you never find 1 covvie ship on its own, and theres always going to be cruisers around which are going to overpower UNSC heavy cruisers and carriers
Also Savannah never used her MAC. She only used her Rampart 50mm coilguns on the sides to avoid destroying the corvette. It's why they did so little damage. Covenants nanolaminate armor is incredibly energy dispersive thats why only the heavier MAC rounds and directionally focused warheads of Archers penetrate the hull.
Hey, you should make some star citizen ship breakdowns, there's already a large variety of ships big or small, alien or human and it would be interesting i thinkg
The Sojourn class Dragoons. Tbh id like to see a full theorized Forerunner fleet. We get descriptions of ships but very little actual imagery and/or deckplans.
I could be wrong but honestly I think the Savannah could of won in an actual 1v1 with the corvette at least in the game. If you watch the Savannah during the mission she wasn't actually trying to destroy the corvette in the first place she was only circling it to be a distractionfor the entry team, She never used any weapons other than her auto cannons which is basically point defense iirc and was being pelted by plasma since she and Noble 6 started targeting the corvettes engines so the Savannah actually lasted about 10-15 minutes of plasma barrages during the mission before going down with only using her point defense cannons, If she really was trying to destroy the corvette the Savannah would utilize her full armament like her MAC and archer missiles and to be honest I think that is more than enough to take out the unshielded Corvette. But again I'm only going off the gameplay from the mission and not lore so like I said at the beginning I could be wrong, Great video nonetheless!
so basically its a jack of all trades sense it can do the roles of carrier and stealth ship and also troop transport if the covanant was smart enough insted of genocide of humanity id say ditch fleet super carries and keep compact ships like corvettes
The three-letter class codes are given by humans. The proper Covenant names for the ships are known as design patterns. Design patterns do not always correspond perfectly to human-given class codes. For example, the Shadow of Intent is a Kerel-Pattern CAS-Class Assault Carrier, while the Enduring Conviction and Solemn Penance are Syfon-Pattern CAS-Class Assault Carriers.
TBH this ship could have avoided the "alien ships are bland" trope, if only it had more exposed tech, not a lot, but more.

In our real world a Corvette is often smaller and weaker compared to a Frigate and they often do not have the necessary range to travel along side blue water ships and sometimes don't have a proper air defense systems against most anti-ship missiles so you would never really see a Corvette traveling alongside a Fleet and yet this Covenant corvette is able to surpass and compete against UNSC Frigates it makes you wonder if one of the covenants most weakest ship are able to destroy Frigates in your fleet then imagine the devastation a Covenant destroyer or Cruiser are going to be...
