You shpuld look at X4 Foundation ships. Interesting designs worth making videos about them. Especially Split ships are awsome.
I have a request, could you do a breakdown of the Ghostbusters 1984/1989/2016 characters, vehicles and equipment. You could take a break from sci-fi explaintions.
Could you do a video of the Raven MK VI-R? I mean, it's not that you'd been playing BSGO back when it was alive, but I surely enjoyed the specs of it and was wondering if it could be possible to review that one.
Any update on the Sojourn being available on Audible?

Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well. I liked the starfighters BSGO introduced as well, especially he Rhino.
It's a shame that Blood and Chrome never became a full series.
Yes! The movie was damn good! That's often the problem with interstitials!
Same with prequels like CAPRICA! Too cerebral, so gets shelved! (Just like Roddenberry's original vision for Trek!)
@@DMSProduktions oh yeah, caprica, i hate that they didn't make that second season, great series
@@RadimentriX Yep! Dug right IN to the heart of religious fundamentalism & terrorism!
Oh yeah, i would have loooved it. Blood and Chrome was good written, had perfect CGI and a brilliant cast. They did the same great work as was done for the Miniseries / The Pilot of the main show.
@@DMSProduktions Hollywood consistently prioritizes the wrong things because they don't understand that there is a demand for cerebral content. The masses may want more instant gratification and spoon feeding, but there are also many who'd appreciate a more intelligent, slow paced show
I don't know why but I just love the way this videos are narrated. Something like reporting directly from a warfare during the fire exchange .
I always got the feeling he was an officer giving a briefing on the craft for a board of flag officers deciding on wether or not to purchase said craft
I don't know either, but he's a damn good narrator.
Ahh. The forgotten middle child of the viper line
There’s still IV, V, and VI
@@galaxyforever70367 yeah, we don't really get to see those :p so they may as well not exist
@@galaxyforever70367 Interregnum models. Used mostly for anti-piracy and police actions. Basically just "the ones between the 3 and 7, not thing to see here."
I know, right!? Do you know how hard it is to simply find an image of the MK iii, let alone any lore on it? And while it got more love in the squadrons video game, the game was taken down and all lore it offered on the ship went with it. I had to be painfully thorough in my research just to simply find out if it even existed. The same goes with all the other viper units that aren’t the Mk I, MK II, Or MK IV.
@@tokusatsukeyblade797 Eaglemoss hero collector has a full hero factory scale MK3 viper. I bought one during lockdown. It’s a thing of beauty and it just looks like a slightly bulkier and beefier MK2. Kinda like a corvette and a corvette Z06. If I were going to fly an old viper it would be the MK3. It’s like me, bigger and heavier but packing a bigger punch and can be shockingly agile when it has to be
One of the things i loved about the BSG universe was the use of "kinetic energy transfer devices" as opposed to energy based weapons common in other scifi franchises....
Something about bullets bullets strafing the hull of a ship feels cooler than phasers hitting shields...
Babylon 5 use lasers and the like but the hulls actually take the impact instead of having shields
I sure hope you've checked out The Expanse series. Books and the show. They try to keep it real with the weapons, damage, and the G forces of using thrusters during maneuvers.
The vipers could supposedly accelerate at around 10g and hit high sublight. That's open a hatch and dump out some kitty litter to obliterate a fleet sort of energy. If you fire bullets like they do in the series you are creating a death sphere centered on every battle.

*"That is why Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest sonovabitch in the galaxy!"*
[/some learned Sgt aboard the Citadel]
@@RobertSzasz The KEWs used by the Colonials aren't just "haha gun", they're mass drivers. So they have a pretty significant amount of speed going on.
One of the greatest space fighter designs in fiction, right up there with the Starfuries of Babylon 5.
I'd also include the Gunstar from The Last Starfighter. Otherwise I agree
I would include the SA43 EndoExo Atmospheric attack jet (i.e. Hammerhead) from Space above and Beyond or the X302 from Stargate SG1/Atlantis..... otherwise Totally agree with you
@@seanmcgrath3826 Gunstar!? 🤔 Compared to the Viper or Starfury🤮...lol but to each their own
@@slwilliamsjr The Gunstar, with an inexperienced (to say the least) Starfighter and a veteran Navigator as its crew, took out the ENTIRE Ko-Dan armada with no other ships to support it. And keep in mind that it was an untested prototype to boot! I'd put the Gunstar up against a Starfury, Viper, or Hammerhead any day.
But as you said, to each their own...
I still love the Arwing the most.
I know I'm not the only one who's asked for an episode on the Adamant frigate from Deadlock.
Yes please
I've never fielded a fleet without an adamant attached to it
i'm pretty sure he already did that, back before deadlock launched. He did a whole series of videos about the ships from the game.
@@numberyellow sadly the adamant wasn't part of that series for some reason. Believe me I know, I've binged it multiple times
@@firestorm165 Ahh. My mistake then. It's been years since the game came out, and my memory ain't what it used to be. If i didn't eat the same thing for breakfast every day, i'd fucking forget what i had, lol
In Deadlock, they have the Mk I and II Vipers that have specific flavors. Mk I’s are slower but possessed more armor than their Mk II successors, which relied more upon their pilots skill and the ship’s increased maneuverability. The Viper Mk III seems to be an successful attempt combining both attributes, only suffering due to the material shortage occurring at the end of the 1st Cylon War.
I would love to see a video(s) about Deadlock’s Taipan, what the Mk IV - VI Vipers might have looked like, or all the Cylon basestars in canon and how they evolved from the first to the most recent one.
I'm hoping that they eventually add the Mark 3 to Deadlock. They recently added the Mercury, Valkaryie and the Mark 7 Viper. I prefer how the 7 looks in Deadlock. It kept the white and red color scheme.
Its always a good day when Spacedock makes a video
If you are looking for more space and atmosphere fighter. You may want to give the Hammerhead from Space Above and Beyond a look
I'd love to see that. Criminally unknown (and underrated) ship
Great ship from a great show, would be great to see Space Dock cover it!
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're at war! OOOORAH"- Gunny
Yes, sir!
Ahh the SA-43 hammerhead Col TC McQueen‘a “ big iron” the ship he used to go and kill Chiggy Von Richthofen. Because sometimes when someone needs their ass kicked it takes an old man in an occupation that kills young ones to go and do the ass kicking
Still the greatest fighter series in all of Sci-fi in my opinion, The Viper is sleek, lethal and beautiful!
So Who's ready for Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: Armistice !?
So say we all!
Don't forget the Modern Ship Pack. Can't wait to see if I can 'edit' these into my campaigns, because there's no kill like overkill.
@@Dan19870 If You Can, Don't forget to share it with the world We all would Love to Do It as well.
A new show?!
@@TeensierPython No it's a game.
I hadn’t considered the atmospheric advantages the Mk.III had over the Mk.II. For the most part, I considered it more of a “strike” variant of the Viper because of the increased carrying capacity for ordnance and the (possibly) greater thrust capacity its larger engines would have offered. By the same token, the added armor would have been necessary to absorb the amount of anti-aircraft fire the Cylons would have thrown at these Vipers because of the more predictable attack paths they would have been required to follow in order to hit certain targets for which fighter-role air/spacecraft would not normally be tasked.
There is so much that can still be done in this sci fi universe without disturbing the reimagined series.
NGL everytime when someone talks about BSG (Battlestar Galactica) I become more fan girly about it I love BSG alot
Totally understandable
I can't express how much I've been fracking looking forward to the return of these ship breakdown videos.
*Mark 3 designer:* Should we network link all the computers?
*Tactical Fleet Advisor:* Frack no… the Cylons could hack it.
_Later_
*Mark 7 designer:* Should we network link all the computers?
*Political Appointee:* Sure, what could go wrong?
*glances at human history*
Seems about right
In all fairness they probably expected the updates and changes in computer security in the modern fleet to be far more effective against the Cylons then they were. I don't think the idea of Cylons slipping a virus into a fleet wide computer program was anticipated. We're not sure how long the network defenses would hold without that back door allowing them to be bypassed.
Besides there was no logical reason to expect the Cylons to return at that point. The second war occurred because the Cylons threw all logic out the window.
@@roguerifter9724 the logic is debatable as the cylons seem to be the only other force than exists in this series
@@Joesolo13 Real human history is fraught with shortsightedness and internal conflict. After 40 years of no contact, there's no way they were still building ships in anticipation of fighting Cylons; all their ships and military structure would at that point be more concerned with projecting power over disgruntled colonies and outposts.
It probably had overrides of some kind. I feel like if the viper pilots of mk.7 had enough time they'd have been able to get back at least some capabilities... Probably takes a screwdriver and 5 minutes. Mk.6 probably had a button behind a glass shield.
Each generation of viper was probably a step towards making them more vulnerable and less redundant for the sake of increased performance.
I wonder why Adama chose the Mk II over the Mk III in Razor Flashbacks (Real-world reason is because Blood and Chrome didn't exist yet).
Probably because it had heavier armor and thus was less maneuverable.
I think the in universe explaination is right there in the video, that Mark III was far more expensive compared to the Mark II and so was extremely rare
@@weldonwin Adama seemed to hold the Mk II in much higher regard. Maybe the Mk III was vulnerable to Cylon Cyber Warfare Attacks (Everything in Blood and Chrome seemed to have far more advanced Computer Systems than what Adama would consider "Acceptable" 42 years later.)
Because the Viper in Blood and Chrome is simply *computer generated model* . You know, *CGI* .
So the producer have to make a name for it, because shape eye fan will notice the different right away. ;)
@@mammothmk3355 most of the viper mkII's in the show are made up of cgi as well
Man I miss being Viper Strike pilot! If you have Battlestar Galactica online you will know what mean.
10/10 can relate
Flying in from the carrier group thought missiles,flak and other fighters to fire your tac nuclear weapon off to break sharply and tear into the missiles heading towards your fleet or trying to protect your raptor missile boats
ah, those beutifull days of hunting Toasters, alone and in squad, miss the game so damm much!
@@dynestis2875 I meet quite a few who did. I was part of clan for a while that had 8 raptors that flew in 2 groups of 4. 3 were missile boats and 1 was an ecm craft and it was so deadly when us fighters covered them. Thought in large fleet battles it was a mess to do.
@@dynestis2875 mostly viper mark 2 upgraded with the 4 weapons slots running 2 cannons and 2 short range missiles. I played fleet defense most of the time,thought later i did have a ecm/mine laying raptor for establishing kill zones in astroid belts
This design reminds me of the Terran Inflict from Galaxy on Fire 2....
I miss Battlestar online, pre server combine
Same
That and Battlestar Galactica Squadrons on the phone!!!!
......frakking Cylons removed both games!!!!!!!
my MK-II and MK-III, miss them both..... diidnt even know about the shutdow, lost my pc for about three months, shutdown included, and when i got it back, wanted to play and i found that servers are down, check online and found the article..... it was a sad day.
@@251spartan Yes. I remember hearing the news of Battlestar Galactica Squadrons closing down, and I was never able to switch to a new phone at the time to play a little for the last time. May they potentially both come back!!! Until then, So say we all!!!!
How about a breakdown of the Gunstar from the Last Starfighter?
Just checked this video as a guide for building a version of this in Starfield. Very helpful for creating my design, thanks for sharing.
1 of my 3 fav sci-fi fighters; X-Wing, Viper, Starfighter from Buck Rogers.
What about the Rylan Gunstar?
@@rsrt6910 #4
I like the narrators voice - sounds like I’m listening to actual classified files! 😄🤓
You should do ship breakdown's on the other Colonial and Cylon ships from Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, with the dlcs, that you didn't do in the channel yet. Keep up the great work.
My absolute favourite of all Viper designs.
I like to think the Mk3 had the potential to be FTL capable. Because one thing that always bothered me was when Lt Jim Kirby chickened out and left the raptor to fend for them selfs. He said I'm going home. Considering the Osiris was destroyed. That's gonna be a long flight home
I think he was killed right after that. His Viper was trailing smoke and there was nowhere to go. Either crashed into the ground or got blasted by another Raider.
What a beast... Great work as always, SD. Thank you.
Can you do a series on the Original BSG (1978) Ships and fighters? For us old timers, hehe.
Right on time for my latest binge of BSG. For any looking for a place to watch the show it’s free streaming on peacock.
Hey you should look into a book/audiobook called expeditionary force. The ships in that are pretty cool and descriptive.
I've said it before and I'll keep screaming it.... You guys Kick-Ass! Love every video you post. Thanks much!!
great video!
So make us some BSG props already! -_^
Love the look of the Mk III. The mk II is gorgeous as well but kind of looks like a sci fi model where the MK III looks like it could be a real life space fighter. I own all the Vipers from Eaglemoss and the MK III is my favorite. I just wish they kept the white and red color scheme. I may buy an extra Mk III and Mk VII and paint them like the Mk II. For fun
"Scar" from BSG reboot?
He's already done a video on the RDM Raider, and aside from his experience, I don't think Scar is anything special, at least on the mechanical side, he might do an updated video though
1:25 I'd take a first war era Cylon Raider over any Viper, such a cool ship. I recall a fanfic saying that those Raiders were originally Colonial designs, that were supposed to act as heavy fighters or fighter-bombers with more space for missiles than the smaller and more nimble Vipers. I wonder if there's anything in canon that'd support that.
I mean, the Cylons were used for policing actions and likely some degree of military use. It would make sense to have a more powerful fighter/bomber hybrid if you have a "disposable" pilot.
Need this one to show up in Deadlock. I need a bigger and badder fighter than the Mkii
No wonder the pilots idolised Adama! 1:41
my only problem with the video, is with the use of the word "quarry", which can mean "a target to be hunted down and destroyed", rather than "charge", in this instance meaning "a friendly to be escorted to safety".
I *really* need to watch this series...
A bloody sexy fighter
So... when are you gonna start on the Honorverse ships?
That series is criminally underappreciated in lore vids. You'd think it would be a natural.
I'd love to see a short on "Blackbird" Tyrol's stealth ship
Same here.
Pity they didn't us it more in the series. Would have been cool.
Had the same thought, but then wasn't sure if it's a video I just don't remember.
So basically
Mk II = F-16
Mk III = F-15
Mk VII = F-35
No, the Mk VII is the F-22. The F-35 would be the Mk VIII that was cancelled for cost overruns and program problems.
are you going to bring back providing ground for the ghost fleet offensive, and the modern ship pack on battlestar galactica deadlock
I have the ship for the next episode : The Gloriana Class Battleship
If you're looking for ideas for the next april fools video, here's a free idea:
Zig - Class Space Superiority Fighter from Zero Wing.
Still have my original Viper model. She is a bit faded now and has a few scars on her but still one of the sleeker ships ever mass produced.
Could you please make a comparison/analysis of the Millennium Falcon and the Ebon Hawk :)
"What the hell is an aluminum falcon?... who the hell is 'they'."
If there was ever a stunningly-beautiful space fighter - this is it. Sorry, X-Wing, you were my first love, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
Controversial opinion, but the Mark III is way more effective at fighting Cylons than Dodge Vipers.
no lies detected
Maybe, but you can get the Dodge Viper in a convertible.
@@rsrt6910 well mark lll can also be convertible, but you wouldn't live to enjoy it...
It always annoys me that they pronounce the fuel "Till-ium" in the new show, whereas in the original it was "Tye-lium." Puny, unimportant point, but it always irked me. I'm an old and petty man, I suppose. Anyway: this was a really well done video. Good job.
8.80 m= 28.9 ft. or 28 ft. 10 in.
5,61 m= 18.4 ft. or 18 ft. 5 in.
I new I liked the RDM BSG for a reason. :) Go Husher!
I've always wanted to watch Battlestar Galactica I'm terrified of getting into it because I'm the kind of person watch 1 Seasons in a night get burst out on it and stop watching it
its On BBC iplayer now if your in the UK .
Theres a 2 part mini series that starts it off and then 4 seasons . IF you are getting into it you have to watch the mini series at the start or you miss too much
Go for it.
It started on a high note and deteriorated steadily season by season. If you binge watch a season in a night the first 2 are passable. I made it to the first few eps of season 3 several times but no futher, there are some great battle scenes.
BSG was released just before binging became a thing - I don’t think it holds up well if you try and watch it in one go. Spread it out, watch it between other things - it’s an odyssey that needs a bit of breathing room (although it gets much more intense by the end!)
Thank you
Thanks for the content.
X-Wing versus the Viper!
Depends on the Viper. The reimagined ones might have a slightly higher survivability due to their agility but unless they're the ones with missiles I don't see them effectively punching through X-Wing shielding quickly enough. The original series ones stand a better chance of taking a X-Wing down due to their laser weapons being so similar to the starfighter weapons used in Star Wars, but the lack of shields lower their survivability, making the Vipers basically TIEs without the giant solar panels. Basically the original Vipers have a better chance to kill a X-Wing, the newer Vipers have a better chance at dodging one long enough to maybe get a missile shot off, but none of the Vipers could tank X-Wing shots and expect to survive.
MK 3 VIPER FRAK YEAH!!!!!
Think you could make a video on the orion class battlestar.
These would fit nicely in the Expanse setting, though the abundant use of PDC's might make fighters redundant.
Yep, in a realistic scenario, anything a fighter can do, a torpedo/missile can do better, at lower cost and without the loss of life.
Long story short, unless your fighters are capable of faster than light travel, they're pretty much pointless in space. A carrier launching its fighters an entire star system away from the target, those fighters jumping in and spraying tactical nukes around before jumping back to the system with the carrier, and then the carrier moving on before the enemy could possibly identify the system from which the strike was launched and retaliate is a very different animal from how space superiority fighters are used in Battlestar Galactica or by the Empire in Star Wars (although what I described is pretty solidly the official Rebel Alliance space combat doctrine, albeit with moonbases replacing the carrier)
Nah. Starfighters are cool, but they don't belong in The Expanse. A small unmanned drone-fighter might work. Hard to detect and hit with PDCs. They could be used as spotters for their command ship to deliver precision attacks. Their only armament would be an electronic warfare suite, or perhaps mines that could be laid directly on the enemy ship's hull.
@@DrownedInExile, um, there's no way those drones would be harder to detect and hit with PDCs than missiles.
@@TheAchilles26 A missile or torpedo isn't exactly subtle, putting out lots of energy as it races to its target. Perhaps a drone would be mistaken for floating space debris. Unless you get too close, then it rockets up to your hull before you can deploy PDC turrets. But now that I think about it, a drone would only be useful for asymmetric warfare, not a direct fighter. If they were carrying explosives or other weapons, yup they'd be spotted.
I was just wanting more BSG content. Nice video
Its a shame we won't get the mk III in Deadlock. Even more saddening that the Valkyrie is for multi-player and skirmish only.
I know, right? It’s pretty sad to hear, especially since Valkyrie’s my favorite. I’ve heard some muttering that one of the devs or loremasters on the game doesn’t think that her being in the first war shouldn’t be or straight up isn’t ‘canon’, hence why it’s not available in campaign. I have no idea if it’s true or not, especially considering the evidence to the contrary is fairly...obvious, but it might also explain some of the more ...questionable (imo) directions that they’ve chosen to pursue lorewise in the first war period.
I honestly don't really care. I stopped actually playing Deadlock after I realized the ships were balanced to give the player an advantage in the campaign.
Edit: I do nevertheless appreciate the designs.
@@SultanOfAwesomeness that was some turbo fanboy on the steam community page who ranted about the Valkyrie being too modern for the Era. But by his logic the Minerva shouldn't be in since its the most advanced colonial ship in the game.
Posting here too.
Do a video showcasing your tactics and knowledge on how to save the Battlestar Pegasus in the game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock since they released the modern ships pack
Great episode. :]
Oof I saw this and thought of the viper MK3 in elite dangerous
i saw the title and thought "eww more BSG content, goodies!"
😈
xD
Funnily enough, I had that idea a while ago that we could end up finding the Cyrannus System in Elite.
Maybe ending up scanning some wrecks that have been floating around for 150k years and get ourselves the blueprints for a juicy Mk2 or Mk7 fighter ^^
Even better, while scanning we suddenly get a warning for a system intrusion and everything just shuts down (like with the Thargoid hyperdictions), except we now have a face-to-face with a Raider. We get that red scanning light, then there is another flash of light comming from the player (implying the player is a descendand of Hera) and the Raider just turns around and leaves ^^
@@Hawk_of_Battle I don't mind hearing about the crazy ships but gods i've tried playing that game and I get lost lik 5 minutes in......
i like go your own way and all that but I kinda need some sort of driving force for why i do what I do in a game, simply flying all over hoping stuff happens is't what does it for me sadly
like the game Darkstar One having a story drove me forward through the game and i always could just fuklk off whenever I wanted lolz
LtCWest Ha!
Hawk of Battle it's sad isn't it
Please do the Strega Fighter from Philosoma.
Not well known, but awesome adaptable fighter.
Anyone remember BSG standalone mod for FreeSpace 2 called Beyond the Red Line?
Always love these.
So I haven't watched Star Trek lower decks but saw a ship on RUclips Named the NX-75300 Osler. At first glance it looks like starfleet kit bashed a Kligon shuttle and put federation warp nacelles on it. Was hoping you had more information then memory Alpha had on it. I enjoy your break downs of different types of ships.
Cylon Basestar next? plz.
ruclips.net/video/8GKTM_GR0K0/видео.html&&ab_channel=Spacedock
@@Spacedock ah yes, I forgot. Thanks nonetheless.
They really should have expanded on the Ghost Fleet.
Man I missed when this series was main stream.
Why is Archer such a popular missile name in Sfi-fi?
I know, right?
When I start my own Sci-Fi action/war series, I'm naming the missiles "Fred", "Bosephus" and T-Dog".
Inspiration from R-73, I think.
Didn't Battlestar Galactica Deadlock Ghost Fleet Offensive kinda retcon the Mk III out of existence by not featuring them? I'd make their durability comparable to the Mk I with slightly faster speed but equal damage to the Mk II. And have them be very pricey (3 times the Fleet points of the other specialized Support Craft like Assault Raptors).
I dont think this is so much a Retcon as much as it was simply a hard issue in terms of the campaigns balance and design. in the Campaign even on higher difficulties the MK II Vipers are already very effective VS Groups of raiders and can easily tear them asunder in the MP as well hence why most raider groups in MP tend to keep at an arms length till the Vipers are weakened or support from friendly captials like the Revenants or Cerestes can rip into them. They are quite dangerous enough on their own they dont need more to make them stand out and the MK III would have quite a tough stat line to balance out compared to the MKII. Just because it wasnt included as DLC as part of Ghost Fleet Offensive doesnt mean it got retconed as both were approved by the production company to be part of the same universe, just there may have been other reasons for its lack of inclustion.
@@Duncecap64 Indeed. Besides, it was apparently only sparsely used and even required refits of the launch tubes, so it is safe to assume not many ships actually utilized them at the time of the offensive
@@HighLordBaron plus it was hinted that the mk3's were a luxury commodity. The 10 that got blown to hell might've been it. Granted it's unlikely but that's the in universe explanation I'd go with
@@firestorm165 Did you miss the whole squadron of them flying at the screen at the end of B&C?
@@ThomasMusings I thought those were mk2's. Well then there goes that theory
QUESTION: The CGI looks much less dated than the 2004 version. Are these clips from a remastered version?
Great nerding out! Thanks 😁
"Aspect-seeking"? 'Aspect' refers to either rear-aspect or all-aspect lock-on capability. 'Aspect-seeking' is meaningless. You don't seek aspects.
They just wanted to rip Vympel R-73 off and sound cool at the same time. I also find it funny, that Viper is almost surerly named afte F-16.
PS.: I know nothing about BSG.
@@urlichwichmann6456 Oddly enough, it's the F-16 that's named after the Viper.
Good
Thanks for this. Curious what your source material is on the MK III’s limited use. In the end, my favorite iteration of the ship. Plain gorgeous. Thanks for doing this video!
Elite dangerous vibes
Delicious. Finally, some good f*cking food.
Aspect seeking? Missiles can be all-aspect, or rear-aspect, but that is the capability of the missile, not what it seeks itself.
Yes!
Mk III was a chonker
I liked the colonial viper but was strange wastching the reboot series where they didint have energy shields or laser/energy weapon like the original. In addition not seeing other alien species.
Hey Spacedock, would you consider doing an episode on the Eagle from Space 1999? I think it's a very sensible craft built to be all-purpose with its detachable payload and various configurations.
If the pilot's at the CG, how does the waiting create stable lift? In atmosphere, the craft would simply pitch down uncontrollable.
Lifting body
@@RobertSzasz Huh, that... Makes sense.
Any chance we could see some videos comparing 1970's Glen Larson BSG to 2000's SyFy BSG? I for one would like to see how classic stands up to SyFy's version!
Great video, and not even sponsored by Eagelmoss smh.
Hey nice video If been following you channel since 2018 and I would like to know how you record your videos.
Thanks and keep uploading these videos because they are amazing for nerds like me XD
i dont know if you got my last comment in the previous video, but if you didnt, battlestar galactica deadlock armistice is a new expansion for bsg deadlock, but with it comes a seperate expansion that brings in modern ships to the game (mercury, valkyrie and modern basestars). This expansion brings a question as well, what if the cylon virus and surprise attack failed at the start of the second war, how do you think the mercury and valkyrie battlestars be used, and would older models like the jupiter, artemis and minerva battlestars be brought back into service?
I want the Hegemon class Star-Dreadnought explained. Please.
Would love to see B5 vs Cylon threat
Up there with the space battleship Yamato cosmo falco. But with less rcs thrusters and General sexiness
Love BSG, watched all the films and series.
Where is the footage in this video from?
Have I missed something?
Love the Viper Mk 1, 2 and 3.
The 7 is UGLY
the footage was from Blood and Chrome
@@TenebrariusRhade Cheers, watched that but was a while ago.
Think I'll watch it all again from the beginning, I have them all on a hard drive 😀
Any video on the Viper Mk I?
I do really like that first war cylons, look like those from og 1978 series (centurions, basestars and fighters). I wish, they would do the same with colonials. They've done it only with Vipers which is a shame. Pilots from the "modern" Galactica wear virtually the same uniforms, flight suits as their counterparts from a war that was fought 50 years before them. Like imagine soliders in 1990s having the same uniforms as those from ww2. Would be more interesting if cylon war era pilots wear uniforms and suits resembling those from og series, as well as helmets. Colonial commanders wearing the same capes as og Adama. Hell, even Galactica could had white coating, that either degreded from colonial war to darker colors or being just repainted. That would give a nice touch.
I don't know if this fighter has popped up in a ranking video before so on a scale of 1-10 how dose this one look to you?
Has this channel done any videos on the old TTA handbooks?
