The command cruiser is beautifull. You can really feel its presence when you're around and you know that one of these wouldn't be coming for a simple bounty hunting mission rather be there to orchestrate an invasion.
Yep and of course when you base it off the Spirit Of Fire (Halo) it's definitely gonna be a command/support vessel with quite a lot of firepower god i love the Spirit Of Fire's look both ingame and in Space Engineers
The first three even. 1.Corvette class frigate(MCRN Tachi, Rocinante) 2.Morrigan class destroyer(MCRN Scippio Africanus) 3.sirocco class assoult carryer(MCRN Sirocco, MCRN Hammurabi)
Being an Expanse nerd, I'm bothered seeing the Scirocco, a Cruiser, being called a Carrier.... But they're all such good recreations (the Expanse inspired ships). Corvette, Morrigan, Scirocco... I hope to see a Donnager or a Truman.... Bring on the Foehammers!
Val's ships strike me as more Battlestar Galactica (especially The Odysseus) than the Expanse designs of Husker. I will miss Pabble's insane ships though.
Its funny you say that considering BSG is my main IP i build lol . honestly vals ships are super unique and i cant really pin point a specific IP they are just glorious . although i get Osiris vibes from his Command cruiser
Papple could always come back in the future to do some more designs....but that would be rather hard since we'd have to recapture him again too, and the green drones are currently keeping him and Jack busy.
@@VallornDeathblade In a semi-recent stream, Jack actually used a GDA destroyer on one of his servers and the ship was destroyed through being rammed repeatedly. I don't think he got a single kill.
14:40 To me that looks similar to the rebel version of the Corvus from Battlefront 2. It's absolutely beautiful and looks badass (which is as important as functionality) on top of the DRF campaign being executed perfectly. AMAZING work and I wish I could build such incredible designs
You seem to be getting back some of your old "I'm in charge of a giant fleet of extremely competent and efficient troops" air about you from the colony wars series.
For something to have "battle" in it's name it you should consider: The Battle Effectiveness Award recognizes sustained fast and winning performance in an operational environment within a command.[1] To qualify for Battle "E" consideration, a ship must win a minimum of four of the six Command Excellence awards (Maritime Warfare (Black "E"), Engineering/Survivability (Red "E"), Command and Control (Green "E"), Logistics Management (Blue "E"), CNSF Ship Safety (Yellow "E"), Efficiency (Purple "E")),[2] and be nominated by their immediate superior in command. Eligibility for the award demands day-to-day demonstrated excellence in addition to superior achievement during the certifications and qualifications conducted throughout the year. A ship’s performance during training exercises, weapons inspections, and tactical readiness examinations are among the 16 different areas that are considered in the competition.
Hype. The DRF designs (and some of Splitsie's designs) have heavily influenced how I make my own ships, and these new ships are an excellent addition to an already fantastic lineup
15:40 its the Spirit of fire a colony ship converted to a UNSC military ship when the covenant started to destroy alot of the human fleet and the Pillar of Autumn is a Hylcion Class Carrier ship " I must have butchered that word lol" just wanted to let ya know love the ships dude they are really awesome! :D
Yep always gotta love the SOF as im a Halo Wars fan god both games were fun and made the SOF look so powerful even though its such an outdated ship......
DRF, RWI, and INIC fighting against the Green Drones. That would be EPIC for a Season Finale. But that’s thinking too far ahead. Before all that, maybe we could get small peeks at the full operational power of the separate navies/armies? That’s be pretty cool. Please make that new series soon! Can’t wait!
The ships aren't in a "Candy Pink" color, it's intolerable! Just Kidding, i like this new color for the DRF theme :) 10:00 I hope they will return, Harder, Better, Stronger than before, and kick out of this universe the Green Drones Armada, and the RWI ! All Hail DRF !
Aaron, as for the shock absorbing landing gear, I have an idea you may want to toy with, use a combination of wheels and landing gears to absorb impact and lock onto a ships hull and grind your way inside.
Got your ship class out of order it goes corvette, frigate, destroyer, cruiser, then capital ships like battleships, carriers and then you have dreadnoughts
So my opinion about the classes: 1) I would consider it as Reconnaissance Corvette. It probably would have problem even with fighters, but it generally should avoid confrontation. It is common mistake, but Gunship is common name for Attack/Assault Craft. Larger units are called a Gunboat. 2) I disagree with some design choices, but let's call it diplomatically a Torpedo Destroyer. It is slightly too big for a Gunboat and I presume it has a Jump-drive (boats usually don't have those). 3) Assault Frigate. More flexible design then usual. It is common misconception but term Assault is used for the first line of ground forces. Assault units combine firepower and ground force deployment capabilities. 4) Stealth/Explorer Frigate. Nothing to add (I personally consider planetary capable ships as Assault, but in this specific case idea of Stealth ship fit it better). Good looking ship overall. 5) I'm not sure? Escort Destroyer? Heavy Gunboat? Depending on if it has jump-drive. 7) Heavy Assault Corvette. Undeniably. 8) Yup. A Cruiser. Specially Cruiser-Carrier. I didn't see command center, but for DRF standard it is sufficient command ship. First four ships are quite cinematic. Bit under-powered in my mind, they compensate that being quite tanky. And I really like last three ships, though they lack proper CIC. For cinematic purposes and in line of keeping consistency with Papples style, those are definitely good ships. Not as good as the originals though. Still for what DRF need they are good fallow ups. Edit: I forget to mention that size is relative, so I judge them on eye.
This was awesome! Love the cutouts and stuff, been working on my own internal thrusters on ships recently too (though i am having three because it is massive)
Can you pls post those fleets to the workshop Arron? The ships are cool and I bet me as well as a ton of other people would like to explore them ourselves
INIC is hostile toward everyone and responsible for GDA. They are basically like Terran Empire. Probably worst threat then GDA itself. DRF-RWI alliance could happen. Though only if Aron and Jack are involved. RWI doesn't have reason to trust Purple Drones otherwise.
MCRN Tachi/Rocinante (Totally legit salvage) MCRN Scipio Africanus MCRN Dropship MCRN Scirocco If the MCRN and BSG Colonial Fleet built a ship together Mass Effect or Halo from then on Love em all.
Although things may change so it could be different or I could be totally wrong but from what I've seen it's gonna be the case but just take with pinch of salt
Not an acclamator an imperial raider you can tell by the bridge and the engines specifically the corvus which is an imperial raider that was given to the rebels by inferno squadron imperial deffectors
These are good, but I personally prefer the old style that consisted entirely of, as one commenter put it, "bricks from hell." Bricks from hell containing redundant jump drives and internal thrusters, with every square centimeter of the external surface covered with decoy pods and giant cannons. Nevertheless, I am excited for the DRF to return.
I will see the entire clone wars for the 3rd time or just the bonus last episode 🤣 "Hardman I found your body!" NOPE! I made my mind EP 63, 67, 68 & 69 😘👌
I wish people would acknowledge not only this, but also most of Jack's RWI ships being "closely inspired" by mainly Halo and Stargate. I also find myself dissatisfied with these designs for other reasons: 1) People think exposed bridges look cool. I have yet to figure out why. 2) The DRF ships in Colony Wars were designed for one purpose, and one purpose only: To destroy in twenty seconds the ships that took Jack twenty episodes to build. The ships were designed to function well, not look good. I personally find that much more interesting than ships that maybe look cool, but could barely beat one of Craz's gunboats in single combat. 3) Throughout this entire video, I didn't see a single decoy pod. 4) The phrase "Inspired by The Expanse" seems to have a completely different meaning now. Previously, it meant making ships that functioned well as a result of intelligent design. Now, it means visually ripping off the MCRN.
@@autumngottlieb3071 The exposed bridge thing is a remnant from the bridges of today's real warships, and the aesthetic choice just sticks. With spaceships though, you're right. It's completely impractical.
![Run Away - Tzuyu(TWICE) ツウィ 쯔위 [Music Bank] | KBS WORLD TV 240906](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KnHNNyAYiu0/mqdefault.jpg)
The ships are so aesthetic. I love the fact they were based on The Expanse.
I agree
The way the assault pods fit in the larger ship reminds me of that mcrn class
If it were recolored, I would totally accept the ship at 9:28 as a design for the Raptor-Class Fast-Attack Cruiser from the books.
I was literally just thinking about the expanse then they said that lol
Unmm you can't just say aesthetic you have to say what kind of aesthetic that word is not a adjective
The command cruiser is beautifull. You can really feel its presence when you're around and you know that one of these wouldn't be coming for a simple bounty hunting mission rather be there to orchestrate an invasion.
Yep and of course when you base it off the Spirit Of Fire (Halo) it's definitely gonna be a command/support vessel with quite a lot of firepower god i love the Spirit Of Fire's look both ingame and in Space Engineers
All I can imagine is joining the server and seeing that menacingly floating above you.
@@cmwhitworth2159 I know the weakness.... i know the pain.... i know the fear.... we do not name...
DRF has done a fine job capturing Husker, Val, and Conrod(recaptured it seems) and putting them to work!
Hey BB, be careful they may try to recapture you next.
I can’t help but feel that A) Their families are being threatened of B) They’re crazy-patriotic towards the DRF cause
15:49 spirit of fire, halo wars
beat me to it
XD
thats the one .. im sorry halo fans i only know battlestars lmao
*Angry Halo Wars Fans* (Also me xd)
Spirit of Fire, Husker. Not Pillar of Autumn
;_; im sorry
Husker54 it’s alright we all make mistakes 😀
Oh I thought it was based on the Phoenix-Class. Sry!
@@banzeyegaming2234 the Spirit of Fire was a retrofitted Phoenix-Class colony ship
@@callumcrichton5787 Oh, sorry, got confused. I thought it was a Paris-class, my bad!
The first two literally looked like Expanse shis from afar. Love it!
Even has the blue combat lighting
The first three even.
1.Corvette class frigate(MCRN Tachi, Rocinante)
2.Morrigan class destroyer(MCRN Scippio Africanus)
3.sirocco class assoult carryer(MCRN Sirocco, MCRN Hammurabi)
It’s nice to see how players develop better designs with time. A very nostalgic feel no?
I wish i could design ships like this, i need to take some notes!
Being an Expanse nerd, I'm bothered seeing the Scirocco, a Cruiser, being called a Carrier.... But they're all such good recreations (the Expanse inspired ships).
Corvette, Morrigan, Scirocco... I hope to see a Donnager or a Truman.... Bring on the Foehammers!
People in general tend to overuse word Carrier.
these ships are giving me huge MCRN vibes. I love em.
That spirit of fire styled ship is by far my favourite with like the droppods, utility bits, brilliant!
Val's ships strike me as more Battlestar Galactica (especially The Odysseus) than the Expanse designs of Husker. I will miss Pabble's insane ships though.

I like it that the DRF fleet has evolved into a very very expanse-esque style.

first ship kinda reminds me of the roccinante in the expanse!
These ships are amazing I cannot wait for the next DRF series these are in!!!!
That zepherus stealth ship would reflect so many radar waves, it needs to be more smooth to be more realistically “silent”
Hype.
The DRF designs (and some of Splitsie's designs) have heavily influenced how I make my own ships, and these new ships are an excellent addition to an already fantastic lineup
Now i really want to build something like the SOF for my drone fleet xd well 'drone fleet' may the Drone Empire and DRF live forever!
When he said it was inspired by the pillar of autumn I wanted to tell no it is the spirit of fire
15:40 its the Spirit of fire a colony ship converted to a UNSC military ship when the covenant started to destroy alot of the human fleet and the Pillar of Autumn is a Hylcion Class Carrier ship " I must have butchered that word lol" just wanted to let ya know love the ships dude they are really awesome! :D
Yep always gotta love the SOF as im a Halo Wars fan god both games were fun and made the SOF look so powerful even though its such an outdated ship......
Is that a Phoenix class colony ship I see there, noice
Apparently it’s Spirit of Fire, but I agree with you.
@@banzeyegaming2234 Yeah, Spirit of Fire is a Phoenix class Colony Ship
The DRF shall rise again!
Love the front of the shredder drone two middle fingers to the sky
I just LOVE the overall designs of these ships, you're making me want to switch side bro!! XP
Last ship reminds me of the spirit of fire
Wow this game has come so far from the original early release. Outstanding.
I understand the new colour scheme is much more tactical but the classical purple is just really cool in my opinion
loved the stealth ship
DRF, RWI, and INIC fighting against the Green Drones. That would be EPIC for a Season Finale. But that’s thinking too far ahead.

Well both RWI and DRF have enough on their hands with the GD so maybe after they kicked the GD out first the RWI and DRF can fight again xd
lol flashing up shucks carrier ship on the projector table
The DRF continue to grow ;p
Not sure INIC will like that. People caught in the middle are going to get screwed.
@@BBDoesTheThing In every conflict there are innocents who pay the price .
DRF’s new palette reminds one of the CIS
Also, are you taking the DRF to go toe-to-toe with the GDA (Green Drones)?
More against INIC. GDA is more Jack side equivalent, though it could happen from time to time.
TheRezro I sure hope so!
The halo looking one is spirit of fire
HOW ABOUT A MOBILE PERIMETER-DEFENSE-PLATFORM
So a ship?
Space-station with zillions of guns
So basically...
A DRF Death Star.
Dew it.
Defense platforms
BanzEye GAMING _totally_ just a giant miner to break down dying planets... _totally..._
Command cruiser awesome looking
The Excalibur is still one of my favorites but the spirit of fire one is certainly a nice looking one as well.
Different type, so they don't compete.
Aaron, as for the shock absorbing landing gear, I have an idea you may want to toy with, use a combination of wheels and landing gears to absorb impact and lock onto a ships hull and grind your way inside.
I can't wait to see more of these ships in action, especially against INIC.
Very nice
Spirit of fire looking one is my favourite
“Wow that’s a cool drop pod how many times have you actually used it?” *IRRELIVANT*
Love how the DRF took up the aesthetics of the MCRN
That stealth ship somehow attracts me despite my love for explosions.
Maybe it's the interior
14:40 Could use those ships as a certain unit within the DRF. Quick Response Fleet for example as they definitely look quick lol
ITS CALLED THE SPIRIT OF FIRE
very nice fleet / i especially love the assault carrier CIC
i love this build style
Got your ship class out of order it goes corvette, frigate, destroyer, cruiser, then capital ships like battleships, carriers and then you have dreadnoughts

15:45 the ship you mean is the Spirit of fire
Beautiful
For the DRF
The Zepherus engine block reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica
Cerberus has some competition
Will they ever be out on the workshop?
The Expanse!!!
Can you pls post those fleets to the workshop Arron? The ships are cool and I bet me as well as a ton of other people would like to explore them ourselves
Your ship are so gorgeous.
That dude a snake? SSSSSS
The gigantic ship looks like the spirit of Fire
The pillar of Autumn is a Halcyon class. Apparently it's internal structure is honeycombed so it can absorb hits and damage exceptionally well.
jack could use some help with the greenies eh arron. what id love to see is a three faction alliance series DRF-RWI-INIC vs the green drones
im sure plot armor will help him out :P
Very correct lord BBscream
YESSSS, exactly what I was thinking. Hope arron sees this
INIC is hostile toward everyone and responsible for GDA. They are basically like Terran Empire. Probably worst threat then GDA itself. DRF-RWI alliance could happen. Though only if Aron and Jack are involved. RWI doesn't have reason to trust Purple Drones otherwise.
The Odysseus was inspired by the Phoenix Class colony ship from Halo. The same class the Spirit Of Fire is.
MCRN Tachi/Rocinante (Totally legit salvage)
MCRN Scipio Africanus
MCRN Dropship
MCRN Scirocco
If the MCRN and BSG Colonial Fleet built a ship together
Mass Effect or Halo from then on
Love em all.
The Turtle looks like something from Warhamme 40K
Will all the ships be available the Xbox workshop thing? Because I would love to mess with them on it.
Well if LSG releases them to the workshop on steam in the first place to us viewers then yes you can use them on xbox

There’s “based on the expanse”, and then there’s “MCRN recreation”. This was pretty close to the second one.

AS SOON AS I GET A BETTER GRAPHICS CARD I'L TRY TO JOIN YOU
Fun fact: you don't really need the recommended graphics card I've been using a not so good one and it is chugging along
Close its not inspired by the acclamator from star wars, but rather the raider class corvette
Need more guns but damn nice work
The last ship ya featured in this is not the pillar of autumn its the spirit of fire
Any chance we might see these on the workshop? I want to try out the command cruiser...
would love to get my hands on the blueprints
On that second ship model that was showcased... how did they get that lovely glow effect? spotlights beaming though solid blocks? im confused
Spirit of fire
15:43 not pillar of autumn spirit of fire
Hey guys! What skybox are you using!?? I love it. Also that command ship 😍😍😍😍
poor papple got taken by the red suits
I wonder if they could upload this to the workshop
i wish to see Pillar of Autumn or the SDF 1 MACROSS
All 3 of Vals ships are Halo based , Looks like In Amberclad, Forward Unto Dawn and Spirit of Fire from Halo 2, 3 , and Halo Wars 1 and 2
