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.
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
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!)
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 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
@@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 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
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.
@@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
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...
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.
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.
*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?
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.
@@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.
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
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.

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.
I'm a new subscriber and I gotta say, your channel is awesome. I love science fiction. I was hoping you could do some Ace Combat videos, the fictional fighters and airships are some of the coolest I've ever seen in fiction in general. Can I do recommendations on your patrion?
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.
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!
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
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".
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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
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'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
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!)
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.
I heard mixed things about Blood and Chrome. I watched it for the first time and liked it. The only thing I didn't like was that they had Adama fly the Mark 3 in the ending. It should've been the Mark 2. Maybe that could've been a plot point for the series. The rookies are given the Mark 2s instead of the 3s, and Adama would end up learning to love the Mark 2, to the point where he refused to upgrade.
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 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.
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.
I think it would've been cool if Galactica still had a couple of MK III Vipers when she became a museum ship and see a couple of good pilots fly them!!! That and a couple of MK I Vipers as well.....maybe even an old style Raptor while at it.
The Mark III’s and old school Raptors hadn’t really been designed by the studio yet. That’s the real reason. They were, for the most part , specifically designed for BSG Blood and Chrome.
@@gabrielpaige3514 most definitely. I rewatch it several times a year. I really wish Blood and Chrome had become a full series. It had the potential to be awesome. The ships alone were a draw. The Galactica looked amazing! I am cautiously optimistic that whatever NBC comes up with on Peacock will be good.

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.
I was just wanting more BSG content. Nice video
great video!
So make us some BSG props already! -_^
Can you do a series on the Original BSG (1978) Ships and fighters? For us old timers, hehe.
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.
are you going to bring back providing ground for the ghost fleet offensive, and the modern ship pack on battlestar galactica deadlock
I'm a new subscriber and I gotta say, your channel is awesome. I love science fiction. I was hoping you could do some Ace Combat videos, the fictional fighters and airships are some of the coolest I've ever seen in fiction in general. Can I do recommendations on your patrion?
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.
I *really* need to watch this series...
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.
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!
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
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".
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.
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.
Always love these.
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
Thanks for the content.
Great episode. :]
Think you could make a video on the orion class battlestar.
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'."
Hey Spacedock, I saw that a few years ago you did a Space Battleship Yamato breakdown. Think you could do a breakdown of the Cosmo Zero?
Please do the Strega Fighter from Philosoma.
Not well known, but awesome adaptable fighter.
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.
Man I missed when this series was main stream.
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!
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.
"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
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.
Need this one to show up in Deadlock. I need a bigger and badder fighter than the Mkii
Eaglemoss have the mk 3 trust me if you like the mk 3 get it I love the mk 3 as the Apex of the viper series
Great vid dude as always
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.
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
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 😀
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.
Thank you
Any video on the Viper Mk I?
I have the ship for the next episode : The Gloriana Class Battleship
Has this channel done any videos on the old TTA handbooks?
No wonder the pilots idolised Adama! 1:41
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?
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!
The images are from what series of bsg? Is it blood and chrome? Was that made into a series or was it just a movie?
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!)
They really should have expanded on the Ghost Fleet.
My absolute favourite of all Viper designs.
Cylon Basestar next? plz.

@@Spacedock ah yes, I forgot. Thanks nonetheless.
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.
hey could you do a episode for the andromeda ascendant or the magog world ship?
MK 3 VIPER FRAK YEAH!!!!!
QUESTION: The CGI looks much less dated than the 2004 version. Are these clips from a remastered version?
Great nerding out! Thanks 😁
I want the Hegemon class Star-Dreadnought explained. Please.
Up there with the space battleship Yamato cosmo falco. But with less rcs thrusters and General sexiness
A bloody sexy fighter
Anyone remember BSG standalone mod for FreeSpace 2 called Beyond the Red Line?
Always thought it was an upgraded MKII in blood and chrome didnt realize it was a MKIII i suppose the III is an upgrade to the II
Would love to see B5 vs Cylon threat
I heard mixed things about Blood and Chrome. I watched it for the first time and liked it. The only thing I didn't like was that they had Adama fly the Mark 3 in the ending. It should've been the Mark 2. Maybe that could've been a plot point for the series. The rookies are given the Mark 2s instead of the 3s, and Adama would end up learning to love the Mark 2, to the point where he refused to upgrade.
Aspect seeking? Missiles can be all-aspect, or rear-aspect, but that is the capability of the missile, not what it seeks itself.
Great video, and not even sponsored by Eagelmoss smh.
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 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.
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.
Did they only build 177 of them after an initial plan of 385 due to budget cuts? And they had defective O2 generators?
Good
Can you do a review of the space ship I just made up in my head a moment ago?
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.
So the viper got bigger and then shrank back again later? Since the Galctica had tubes for the MK2 but could launch Mk7s.
That's one of the little issues with prequels. The tend to show fancier equipment than what exists in the future.
I think it would've been cool if Galactica still had a couple of MK III Vipers when she became a museum ship and see a couple of good pilots fly them!!! That and a couple of MK I Vipers as well.....maybe even an old style Raptor while at it.
The Mark III’s and old school Raptors hadn’t really been designed by the studio yet. That’s the real reason. They were, for the most part , specifically designed for BSG Blood and Chrome.
@@johnastorina2017 Yeah, I kind of figured that. Still would've been at least a little cool though as a thought. Still the best franking show ever!!!
@@gabrielpaige3514 most definitely. I rewatch it several times a year. I really wish Blood and Chrome had become a full series. It had the potential to be awesome. The ships alone were a draw. The Galactica looked amazing! I am cautiously optimistic that whatever NBC comes up with on Peacock will be good.
@@johnastorina2017 I agree with you. I am looking forward to see what it might be like!!!
Every Colonial reading this: "What do you mean the SECOND Cyclon War???!!"
