"We found it in a garbage heap, honest." Kudos for making a design that emphasizes 'advanced concept rendered impractical by control issues, severe maintenance needs, and shortfalls in redundancy'. I'm actually coming around on how ugly the maneuvering engine bells are. Will we get videos in future about how Drift physics are supposed to work?
@@voynich7825 Thanks, but I was thinking of something more detailed, like if travel through a drift lane between gates was nearly instantaneous or if it was just superluminal in proportion with the amount of energy used to synch the gates. Some of the text in that video mention Drift is defined by the presence of 'exotic hadrons' and is not itself an elementary atom so I'm now wondering if anyone (perhaps an alien species encountered in future) is capable of producing Synthetic Drift.
@@TentaclePentacle my personal theory is that the engines of all scifi spaceships actually use gravity waves or something that needs constant work to propel the ship and the big glowy things are just the exhaust, with every ship and engine designer being terribly wrong about how the engines actually work. It's kinda funny to think that
I'm proud to already have pledged at the commodore level! I was blown away by the pilot minisode and cant wait for more. Edit: OMG Spacedock noticed me!
Same here, immediate Commodore pledge. Never gave to a kickstarter before and this is a good one to be the first. Got 5,000 people in the Elite Dangerous Distant Worlds 2 expedition I can poke as well, they like some good scifi.
“These guys made even worse pirates than I did.” I can’t wait to find out how a “bad” pirate wound up piloting a forgotten mothballed military prototype.
All my friends were questioning why I left their new-years party to watch a british guy describe parts of a ship from a short-film until the watched this with me too
Watched this video twice, just now caught the ships name on the hull morph. This ship is really growing on me. It’s sleek and futuristic , but still has some “real world” design elements. Made my pledge yesterday. Can’t wait to see more stories and design breakdowns.
I've tried making this shit in KSP. Basically, this thing Wobbles. You ever watch a motor cyclist lose control of their bike? Where the front wheel starts wobbling uncontrollably until it finally slams fully one way and crashes? Same thing, only there are four fusion engines wobbling, each trying to correct the others inputs and adding errors every time. Also, if you don't want to crash your bike, apply the rear break or downshift and lean your weight back. The drag off the back tire will take pressure off the front and reduce the force of oscillation. . The bike is already decelerating, the oscillation taking your forward inertia into itself, so it's natural to lean into the handle bars. Putting your center of weight on the back tire, which doesn't oscillate in any direction by structural design, is naturally stable, so bleeding your forward intertia into it will immediately start taking energy out of the fore wheel's oscillation. Back to the ship and why it relates to a motorcycle: The motor cycle has two force points, the front and rear wheels. The Ship has 4, with a 5th bolted waaaay off center. Each of the 5 oscillate or can oscillate given the right circumstances. This means there is no force point that can negatively affect any of the oscillations. A directionally mounted, non-gimballing RCS thruster would be the Rear Tire in my analogy, being a singlular, stabling source of directional force that can toggle on or off immediately, or immediately enough to catch an error before it's changed or caused a cascade. This ship is like a motorcycle where each tire turns and applies drive. Try to image that insanity.
I'm just imagining at the start of the first season the pilot having to park the Guinevere and dinging up the paint job, but then at the end of the first season having them do a perfect parallel park
Everything about the Sojourn project is incredibly well done from tech to politics and everything in between. I would love to see other ships from the setting treated in the traditional Spacedock format.
Considering the long list of excellent material you've made so far covering the various other extensive Sci-Fi universes that you've delved into I cannot wait to see how the Sojourn comes together. Many thanks for the great content and fair sailing to you as you Sojourn out there, between the stars.
The preview left me speechless and I can't wait to see more from spacedock like it and please I beg of you to design the ship's of the CDF because honestly the video of exhearts channel left me even more excited to see more and the story of the battle was incredible and I can't stress enough how incredible this project is and how inspirational I can't wait to see more and I'm so excited for this video
Agreed, I really want to see more ships from this new and exciting IP Daniel has brought us. The full 3D renderings of the Huntress class look amazing!
Designs a ship with spine mounted main gun, removes all RCS thrusters! This thing must have been impossible to aim given the fine control problems you described with the vectored thrusters!
Ive built a few of these type ships to the best of my ability in KSP, and let me say, they are HORRIBLE to try and pilot since maneuvering with the thrusters is difficult at best.
I really like the hull profile. Low slung like an alligator with the bite to match. Edit: If you can remove the escape pods they can be turned into makeshift mine launchers.
I like that our hero ship is both literally one of a kind but also heavily flawed making the the skills of the crew and the success of the ship more impressive
While it might seem to make sense to have the thrusters at extremes of the ship, like a star-fury, for advantages in leverage. The arrangement here can be justified by not having to route power/energy to the extremes of the ship. Having a more central contained design for the drive elements limits their exposure and likelyhood of damage during combat. Right now the crew compartment is "shielding" for the propulsion systems. So a strange but explainable configuration. Also I would change the gymballing of the auto-guns so they can cover a full 180' solid arc. There seem to be issues with covering off axis lines of fire. Drop the backsides of the gun or make a portion of the "wing" rotate
I could also see an argument for having all the acceleration applied to the midsection of the ship resulting in lower shear-stress levels than if you're pushing from the ship's extremities. At the very least, you can concentrate all your structural reinforcements around that one section of the spaceframe.
Why no normal RCS? It also has thin armor and uses auto cannons as point defense. Why is every Sojourn ship asking to be cut to pieces by space debris?
I'm glad you mentioned the lack of RCS in the video, because I was going to say "Why the hell didn't they add RCS thrusters as both a backup, and as docking thrusters?
You've EARNED my Commodore Pledge. Your passion for this project is palpable, and I am extremely excited to see what you and your excellent team will come up with. Your team may be small, but like the Huntress Class you punch above your weight-class!!!
*Honest lore question:* Are there 'Geneva Convention' style rules of war meant to prevent the deliberate targeting of habitation blocks and centrifuge drums on apposing ships?
I would understand it if it was vs civilain ships, but vs military ones? Since when has sinking an enemy ship and its crew drowning ever been against the laws of war? It's pretty much unavoidable.
Mr BigCookie I mean it was never against the laws of war, but that kind of behavior is just ungentlemanly.... Why do you think the British were so pissed about the German U-boats? You can’t collect the crew of a ship you just sank if you’re in a stealth boat
You do realize that the entire point of ship to ship combat is targeting the *crew* of an enemy ship to render it ineffective, right? If you can target and depressurize the habitation blocks and centrifuge drums, congratulations on the multikill.
Excellent ship, the belly-lander setup even makes sense (it lands planetside), but big radiators those definitely aint, especially glowing just dull red.
Interesting design. It looks like it'd benefit from some extra, smaller ports for fine course corrections in lieu of the bigger ports or even have them as a little extra oomph in conjunction with the bigger ones.
The Huntress class looks really cool, I dig the design. I hope you'll release more concept art about details of its interior and exterior as time goes on!
Man, that's some HARD Sci-Fi design right there. Massive RCS thrusters, and a giant cone instead of more streamlined engine designs? The Guinevere is the little ship that can.
I can hear the passion in your voice. Although I do not yet understand what Sojourn is as a project, I look forward to it and will give it the full attention it deserves.
If that's the 'Guinevere', will we be seeing any ships named 'Arthur' or ' Lancelot' ? Already love the lore and set up. Experimental ships are always the coolest and after that little teasing taster, I'm hooked.
You know, after going back and watching the old concept video for this that you put up almost a year ago, I find it striking how little this design has actually changed.
I must say, I've never really been a huge fan of sci-fi stuff; usually a hit or miss with me. However, if something is well enough produced and not too cheezy like a lot of sci-fi these days, I'll pay a lot of attention to it. Brad Dutcher, who has one of the top comments, told me about this early December and I got incredibly excited for it. You've done well, Spacedoc. Keep up the good work.
petlahk isn’t hyperspace like a different universe where light travels faster allowing the ship to move insanely fast or something? Edit: Isn’t* And not universe, dimension*
@@Ajc-ni3xn I think it is but that hasn't been confirmed though in new Cannon it seems to also be realated to the force as ezra uses the force to call the hyper space whales and the force loath wolves seem to use some kind of hyper space to go through the planet but thats only speculation Speculate responsibly
It's nice to see a spacecraft sporting radiators, though they're probably on the smallish side of what they'd really need to be and may not rotate far enough away from the main engine's bell housing to cool effectively. Drift technology may run cooler than a fission or fusion drive would, but it's difficult to speculate without knowing those details. Thanks for the ship breakdown and the mini pilot teaser, I hope your project succeeds. Also, happy new year.
Im currently making my version of this ship for an RP Server, it is 98 meters long same as the original but it has a Delta-V of 7,000,000 meters per second and a Deuterium + Tritium Inertial Confinement Fusion Thruster, for armor it uses Graphene for the hull, Rubber and Aromatic Polyamide (2cm) for primary armor and Starlite Thermal Protection System (6cm) for secondary armor. I changed the radiators with liquid state retractable radiators for easier waste head rejection and gave it two 500.0kW Ultraviolet-A Laser projectors and a 40MW Ultraviolet-C Nose mounted laser projector. It still has Torpedoes etc.
OK that's it I'm pledging tomorrow for new years day! Edit: watched this a second time with earphones, the musical score was fitted so well against your commentary and what was on the screen. It sent shivers down my spine.
Am I the only one that sees the Normandy and the Tempest in the Guinevere? Just me? Okay..... Excited to see where The Sojourn will bring us. Keep it up!
You torpedo launch system is great. I especially like how the torpedo stay with the ship until the torpedo motors fire. It's little touches like that make ship feel real.
Very impressive ship design with a huge amount of thought and backstory into it, I enjoyed hearing about the ships relationship to the previous war, its problematic development history (which reminded me of real life documentaries on real life fighter planes like the F35(is that fighter more or less flawed than the Huntress class corvette), political adversities and service life. As for the ship itself I see inspirations from the Andorian Kumari(?) class battlecruiser, Mass Effect technology and Newtonian physics from the expanse, they all mix together to create a spacecraft that feels truly unique and one of a kind. I wish you the best of luck not only with The Sojourn but with all professional and personal endeavours in 2019!
'Spinally-mounted broadhead-lock coilgun capable of accelerating malibdinum-perm alloy projectiles to terrifying speeds'. That is one of the coolest sentences I have ever heard. Fanboying aside, the Guinevere is already one of my favorite sci-fi ship designs of all time, up there with the Sovereign from Star Trek and Majestic Interdictor from Elite: Dangerous. The music too was phenomenal, it definitely carried across the feel of an epic journey and deep drama. Also, being a long time viewer, I love how you have worked into the ship's lore so many of the little things that you often say you want from other sci-fi works; realistic design flaws, realism, the absurdity of 'fake grav-plating' and inertial dampeners, even crazy bureaucracy XD Consider me a backer. I wanna see this go all the way!
At 6:20 you've got what looks to be a red navigation light on what appears to be the Starboard side of the vessel. Traditionally on ocean going vessels the Starboard light is green. Not criticising at all :). Just wondering. Hyped for more of this. Good work! Peace.
I just came here to say when this video popped up in my feed, I misread it as "Experimental Amish Corvette," and was very disappointed when it did not turn out to be a horse-drawn spaceship.
I love the greeblies on the nose of the ship because they look like they actually have a purpose, rather than just BS plastered on there because some one thought it looked cool.
This is a very interesting and well thought design. However, I would consider to not call it corvette, but much more a space-gunboat or torpedoboat/missile-boat. with a crew of just eight but a minimum-normal crew of three this ships is hard to work round the clock for longer periods of time like several weeks (left aside sick/injured crewmembers, what could easily occour on longer travels). It is in my eyes more a quick attack-vessel for limited range. Second, I think it need explenation why private owners would have access not just to this ship, but also to such deadly weapons like guided missiles (that depends of course on the policitcal background, about which i know nothing). Most governments would get VERY nervous about such ships, which could be easily used by insurgents, pirates etc. - and would act to deal with the problem in a decisive way. If on the other hand in this setting merc-comps, private security or privateering is normal, things look a lot different. The same could be said if there is a black ops background, as deniable assets of one or more security services (military, paramilitary police, internal or external intelligence). But that just some thoughts...
So, basically the ship is a glass cannon, finally a ship that is not over powered or under powered, but a normal ship which suffered red tape and bureaucratic obstacles- a ship that is powerful, but fragile and that looks the part and feels real. My Preciousness........ er, I mean glass cannon..... Happy new year and congrats ; )
Between you and the Templin Institute, I feel like I get more than my fair shares worth of powerful, interesting and logically fanciful science fiction. I'm in for the pin on KS! Keep up the amazing work.
Interesting design. My only criticism is the firing arcs on the side guns. They have tiny target windows. Otherwise I like the overall idea. Reminds me of the Heart of Midlothian from halo.
I have one more thing to add. How does a ship of that design survive atmospheric re-entry? It has loads of appendages and the vector thrusters especially look like they would burn out in the beginning.
@@NimbleBard48 That's if we base it on real world physics. I do agree with your point but eventually we have to forgo reality for most of these designs.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf Ya I get that he said they have a large firing arc. Sadly you cannot see that in the images. Even with 2 axis articulation the top and bottom guns would hit each other if they were tracking independent targets. The whole mount system seems flawed. Again just a simple gripe. I like the design overall.
LISTEN TO THE SOJOURN:
www.thesojournaudiodrama.com/
The Guinevere is the most expensive welding torch made entirely out of guns.
😂
Corvettes? Ships of the Line? A motto referencing the age of sail? How romantic. Give us a tall ship and a star to steer her by, Spacedock.
The wind is on our side boys!
The Royal navy of the United Kingdom still uses Corvette for the smallest class of genuine warship; further, for all intents and purposes the class ship of the line lives on as the capital ship.
However, except in the vernacular (third rate tools, et cetera) ship ratings are a thing of the past.

I actually read this in thrawns voice, and it is excellent.
I feel like in space a more fitting name would be Ships of the Wall. Also similarly evocative imo.
The Sojourn is like the love child between mass effect and the Expanse. Many elements of the both things you love merged together.
I do agree
The main cannon double-shot thing is SUCH a Chekhov’s gun.

I love how you acutally wrote flaws and vulnrabilities into the ship's design, since its a prototype!
This may just be due to my extreme lack of knowledge of Mass Effect, but this reminds me somewhat of the Normandy SR2.
This is worldbuilding and foreshadowing!! I love this.
I love the astromical skill floor and even higher skill celling this ship has, along with all of its flaws, it is quiet the glass cannon
Very impressive ship design with a huge amount of thought and backstory into it, I enjoyed hearing about the ships relationship to the previous war, its problematic development history (which reminded me of real life documentaries on real life fighter planes like the F35(is that fighter more or less flawed than the Huntress class corvette), political adversities and service life.
As for the ship itself I see inspirations from the Andorian Kumari(?) class battlecruiser, Mass Effect technology and Newtonian physics from the expanse, they all mix together to create a spacecraft that feels truly unique and one of a kind.
I wish you the best of luck not only with The Sojourn but with all professional and personal endeavours in 2019!
I love the Normandy influences in the design!
'Spinally-mounted broadhead-lock coilgun capable of accelerating malibdinum-perm alloy projectiles to terrifying speeds'. That is one of the coolest sentences I have ever heard.
Fanboying aside, the Guinevere is already one of my favorite sci-fi ship designs of all time, up there with the Sovereign from Star Trek and Majestic Interdictor from Elite: Dangerous. The music too was phenomenal, it definitely carried across the feel of an epic journey and deep drama. Also, being a long time viewer, I love how you have worked into the ship's lore so many of the little things that you often say you want from other sci-fi works; realistic design flaws, realism, the absurdity of 'fake grav-plating' and inertial dampeners, even crazy bureaucracy XD
Consider me a backer. I wanna see this go all the way!
I can't wait for more of The Sojourn and I hope you give more breakdowns of other ships in your universe that you hinted at.
Oh my god, you really put a lot of thought into this ship. It's an utterly unique design, I love it!
Now theses renderings definitely makes my enjoy this design
THIS GAVE ME CHILLS! I can’t wait for the sojourn!
Still gives me the chills every time.
I'm legitimately hyped for this series.
Have to admit, Guinevere is a pretty ship. Also congrats on reaching your first goal.
So, she's a Corvette-sized Starfury. Awesome!
Congratulations on this beginning stop motion animated series speacedock
At 6:20 you've got what looks to be a red navigation light on what appears to be the Starboard side of the vessel. Traditionally on ocean going vessels the Starboard light is green. Not criticising at all :). Just wondering.
Hyped for more of this. Good work!
Peace.
Coil/rail guns and torpedoes, 2 of my favorite sci-fi weapons! Cant wait!
I just came here to say when this video popped up in my feed, I misread it as "Experimental Amish Corvette," and was very disappointed when it did not turn out to be a horse-drawn spaceship.
I love the greeblies on the nose of the ship because they look like they actually have a purpose, rather than just BS plastered on there because some one thought it looked cool.
This series is painfully under-rated
OK. Now I’m excited
This is a very interesting and well thought design. However, I would consider to not call it corvette, but much more a space-gunboat or torpedoboat/missile-boat. with a crew of just eight but a minimum-normal crew of three this ships is hard to work round the clock for longer periods of time like several weeks (left aside sick/injured crewmembers, what could easily occour on longer travels). It is in my eyes more a quick attack-vessel for limited range.
Second, I think it need explenation why private owners would have access not just to this ship, but also to such deadly weapons like guided missiles (that depends of course on the policitcal background, about which i know nothing). Most governments would get VERY nervous about such ships, which could be easily used by insurgents, pirates etc. - and would act to deal with the problem in a decisive way. If on the other hand in this setting merc-comps, private security or privateering is normal, things look a lot different. The same could be said if there is a black ops background, as deniable assets of one or more security services (military, paramilitary police, internal or external intelligence). But that just some thoughts...
This is truly beautiful. And the music is just amazing. You have my support all the way!
So, basically the ship is a glass cannon,
finally a ship that is not over powered or under powered, but a normal ship which suffered red tape and bureaucratic obstacles- a ship that is powerful, but fragile and that looks the part and feels real. My Preciousness........ er, I mean glass cannon.....
Happy new year and congrats ; )
Mmm I like the MAC-style spinal gun. You know you've got a good gun when it's as long as your ship.
your team did well on the design of the corvette
Definitely pledging to this
Congrats on making your first 2 campaign goals!
Between you and the Templin Institute, I feel like I get more than my fair shares worth of powerful, interesting and logically fanciful science fiction. I'm in for the pin on KS! Keep up the amazing work.
Interesting design. My only criticism is the firing arcs on the side guns. They have tiny target windows. Otherwise I like the overall idea. Reminds me of the Heart of Midlothian from halo.
he made a concept video a while back that says they can rotate 360 degrees horizontally. i think its in the captains log playlist
@@Amaterasu-wh6xj I must have missed that one. Was going off of what I saw on the rendered model. Ill look for the video. Thanks for the heads up.
I have one more thing to add. How does a ship of that design survive atmospheric re-entry? It has loads of appendages and the vector thrusters especially look like they would burn out in the beginning.
@@NimbleBard48 That's if we base it on real world physics. I do agree with your point but eventually we have to forgo reality for most of these designs.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf Ya I get that he said they have a large firing arc. Sadly you cannot see that in the images. Even with 2 axis articulation the top and bottom guns would hit each other if they were tracking independent targets. The whole mount system seems flawed. Again just a simple gripe. I like the design overall.
Can't wait to watch the ships of the line from your series!
Can't have a Space Story without a cool and unique Ship for the protagonists.
Soon as I saw it I knew it was a hero ship. Badass design!
Could you do a ship breakdown for the freighter in the minisode?
I feel like this ship is getting more love than the usual analyses for some strange reason...
@@NightRaven-lh1bf I totally hadn't noticed.
Your mention of torpedo slits makes me want a video on the difference between a torpedo and a missile in a space context.
