Jeez, the amount of blatant COD wank in this comment section is ridiculous. To those talking about this “alleged” deatomizer, do note that we *never* see it outside the multiplayer so it’s pointless to talk about because it doesn’t exist outside of multiplayer. And for those talking about the-SPAR due remember that it’s an energy weapon, meaning that the Bengal’s shields *will* block it. Also remember that COD:IW ships are killed by 50mm guns so one singular shot from the Bengals size 12 mass driver would probably be enough to kill the Mons.

Remember. The predator has a kamakazee bomb capable of blowing master chief to bits.

This might be biased, but i think he did not display the full arsenal of the predator. Nor did he display the full physical capabilities of the predator. Both also have serious backup plans.

1:05 Mom: Son, dinners ready! xD

Such a pleasant surprise to find a video crossover between my two favourite Sci fi franchises!

LOL. I got a clean recording of PDCs firing from when they were defending the Somnambulist from an incoming missile. I had it as the G-Mail "incoming mail" chime on my phone. Had to take it off. It's too jarring to suddenly hear PDCs firing right next to you.

The most absurd concept found throughout the lore is the ridiculous military mindset of the “good guys” always defensive and lacking common sense,a great example is the armament of their capital ships while the empire is destroying planets with their vessels armed with ship borne light sabers,lol the good guys are arming theirs with overcharged tractor beams,makes no sense even the Jedi is ridiculous solving conflicts with talk and promises while billions died,just a ridiculous idea

Does the UEE have battleships and cruisers?

It’s probably inexcusable for for Star Wars but in Battlestar Galactica they have to deal with the fact they’re fighting AI which can hack any computer system on any network. So hacking a missile guidance system to send it right back to sender negates that possibility. On the human side they probably jam all guidance systems as a rule. When it comes to the cylon fighter it’s completely automated, with resurrection included, and caring nukes.

Like most of Star Citizen's large ships, the Polaris has no pilot controlled weapons. For this match to take place you'd have to have 10 friends willing to sit in manned turrets

I honestly wish the external shots during the fights were silent, as space is a vacuum yadda yadda, you just see the turrets blasting away and missles chasing their targets silently through the inky black of deep space.

Did the slipspace exit of the Olympus Mons cause a short-term emp to occur? Wouldnt that be an effective means of disabling the bengal

Once again I think it was just to be different nothing wrong with it.

i love how the epitome of technology in the expanse universe is stealth ships, which are commonplace in almost every other sci fi. Not only that, but they can only go undetected with their engines off

Cake walk for chief, but i do like the matchup

There is no retribution in the trailer lol

The ship and 682 had a very destructive battle involving them both saying “your not that guy pal trust me” while whacking each other across multiverse 66 and 20k

So this is the thing that 682 whacked across 2 galaxy’s… they both just had that dawg in them

Honestly the carriers prove battle cruiser and battleships in early covenant war would make sense imagine all that space make room for more armor Mac guns and why did the UNSC not try to develop at lease a battle cruiser class of ship is beyond me

I feel like that small frigates can be fighters or interceptors for the main carrier that supply and repair the small ships. Imagine an supercarrier, instead sending small fighters, it would frigate size ships that is hundreds, and sustained that volley in hundred thousand miles on the battlefield.

The 30km/s thing is an outlier of TFoR, the rest of the novels and guides (Evolutions, Shadows of Reach, Warfleet, Encyclopedia, etc.) declare that the firing speed of the MACs are relativistic. The wiki is full of inconsistencies and is made by fans with personal biases, so I do not recommend that you use them as sources of information, for example, combat ranges in Halo are measured between 12,000, 30,000 and 150,000 km, it is obvious that a projectile at 30 km/s could not even in its wildest dreams reach those distances in reasonable times.

4:52 one thing to account for is that larger ships usually have more powerful macs. A MAC on a cruiser is more powerful than a MAC on a frigate. So I presume the change in doctrine was more to split the firepower among multiple different smaller ships instead of a few larger ships that are bigger targets and arguably just as vulnerable to covenant weapons.

Yes thought so the Olympus Monster is by far the best and most creative ship and personally one of my most favorites

The cringey, cat-weaboo, things they added really ruined the story.

Well done! The scenes go together nicely!

Before watching, I suspect that the Aurora would win, due to its shield-bypassing drones, though the Infinity's Forerunner tech might make its shields able to resist the drones, at least initially. If the Infinity could get a few shots from its MACs in, though, the Aurora would probably lose shields and weapons and sustain massive damage and hull breaches. The Aurora's being one of the earlier ships in the class (assuming that the ship found is the namesake of the class, and that the class wasn't named after the ship Aurora by the Atlantis team) probably won't help it when the Infinity fires on it. The Infinity also has an advantage in the other vessels it carries, though the Aurora could probably defeat those also if it took out the Infinity, unless the Infinity hit the Aurora with its MACs.

And I really like the ship design because it looks quite unique as well as the way to store the Helghast strike fighter, but I feel the needs to explore more of this ship, like more of the interior besides the bridge, specifications, etc. I feel it is shame that Khage class ship didn't reappear in Shadow Fall, but I'll take that Stahl's blueprint for the prototype ship was destroyed in the events of Terracide,

You probably forgot to mention that Jorhan Stahl named his cruiser after his father, Khage Stahl.

Only ships? What about all military army and base?

The problem is, Bengal's survivability is rely on the force field so much, and the field itself also restrain the ship from using her mightiest weapon !! Without the shield, Bengal will be shred easily That lead in 2 scenarios ! - 1: the 2 factions first met, never heard of each other's abilities !! In this scenario, Bengal will won since no weapon used by Olympus Mont are able to destroy the force field in time to actually attack at Bengal ! Like the video 2: the 2 factions are in war for a period of time, and this battle happen when both side are aware of each other abilities !! In this scenario, Bengal will be wreck !! Olympus Mont's beam gun will be use to spam the force field to pieces, breaking it and after that.. Oh... WHERE'S THE BENGAL ? Remember, i still not mention the Olympus Mont's ability to maneuver very well with while Bengal are basically SUPER, SUPER slow ! Given the Bengal her role as Super-carrier not Super-Dreadnought battleship like Olympus Mont with her multiple powerful engines !

This is what became of the spacecraft seen in the Daicon IV animation.

Hmmm, Sadly I would see that they would need to modify the station a 'little' to add on some missile launcher slots similar to modern subs. likely wouldn't be possible to make them a tow variant to prevent hacking but if the wire is cut have a sort of deadman switch in said missiles to target cylon armor or 'makeup' similar to buzz droids from star wars.

I was reading about this ship online and Despair-class hunter-killer are 178.7 meters long but War sphinx are only 20 meters long, so i was thinking why are forerunners fighters bigger then capital ship escorts

Chief wins even without Cortana.

just a correction the orbital Super MAC'S fired a 3000 ton slug at 3% the speed of light. but the Series 8 Mac on the infinity fires a 30,000 ton slug at anywhere from 3%-7% the speed of light or 50 teratons if fired at earth it would create a crater 70 miles in dameter on the earth, hell even forerunner shields could not hold back 2 MAC rounds from the Infinity during the events of Halo 4

Mako Class please

really this federal corvette ship would be better in star citizen more than elite dangerous..

It could’ve been hugely beneficial but also a huge liability. Wouldn’t take Cylons very long given their strength at the beginning to find it and simply nuke it.

Mars aeternum.

In CDR Adama's role, here's how I would use the Daidalos. Take people from the weakest and most vulnerable ships and put them to work helping to save their own skins for a change. Take those ships apart and build armored asteroid miners to gather resources on the fly. Next priority is building a stockpile of spare parts and plating material. Miner ships can also scavenge battlezones quickly before the fleet jumps recycling even Cylon scraps. Split the functions of the shipyard into divisions: Viper repair and construction, Large ship repair, R&D, and new construction. Rather than trying to build another battlestar, the R&D section will be tasked with designing proper battle cruisers with big cannons and heavy CIWS. And Missile cruisers with large magazines and high speed engines. This distributed fire power would save on the wear on GALACTICA while bringing battles to a swifter conclusion. Eventually, taking out a single Cylon base will provide enough material to build a large screening fleet, and defensible civilian ships and agro-ships to enhance food production. With enough time and material, human survival will be assured, but that might take decades more of running and fighting before they can have a secure colony world free of the threat of Cylon incursions.

At the end of the day, the “large” ships in the expanse can accelerate in all directions faster than the crew’s bodies can support. The human body is the limiting factor. Therefore, a smaller ship then offers no agility advance, still limited by a human body. The lack of a squishy human is what makes the missiles effective.

In Sins of the Prophets, I spam my frontline full of the old Halcyon type. 10k HP damage sponge. Behind them, the Thanatos class Heavy Battleship and as many as I can make. 1 Infinity class. The end result is a spongy fist that can target down individual Covenant Capital Ships wish volleys of MAC rounds. Then once all the huge ships are done, the lesser vessels dont stand a chance.

The expanse literally blows every other onscreen space combat sequence away.

The only issue i never understood was that Thoth station was supposedly an abandoned relay station yet it was bigger than Tycho station which is a freaking shipyard xD xD

I think the other reason is that in B5 and BSG they have FTL drives so the fighters can operate independently knowing that if they get in trouble help is never to far away. In the Expanse, each craft has to be fully self sufficient which is harder the smaller you are, less room for O2, ammunition, food.

I wish they hadn’t included battle sounds.

That fight with the Amun-Ra at Thoth station is and remains absolutely epic. Showed just how much damage a heavily armed frigate could do, especially to a vessel not designed for close-quarter combat. The Amun-Ra was just plain not prepared for combat on an even keel, or to defend a stationary target. They held their own the first pass, but they were assassins, not brawlers. The Rocinante absolutely pasted them in the second pass, leaving their ship swiss cheese and Thoth station wide open to the boarding party.

Get Roci'd

Because who would want to get stuck in a small ship.

I seen interdictor cruiser close positioned forward in line and shadow drop on Onager Onager i nearly 3 times longer than interdictor cruiser ( no Imm418 and no Dominator) Or Simply twice size of Dominator (1620 meters) Onager is comparable with Resurgent class , no Victory class or MC80 wingless class
