Fun fact that central pillar in the deck is I'm guessing the ship's mast. The ship's captain doesn't sit while in command, they hold onto a stabilizing bar built into the mast

👌👌👍👍👍

I love the Tripathia Class, such a beautiful ship. I remember when Daniel from spacedock was first talking about it and other similar ships before he started the Sojourn channel. It was originally classed as a heavy cruiser before he changed over to the rating system that is now used.

You did a boo... yes you did... yes... THE BOO BOX!

Sooo this video...idk if has helped anyone but myself not really one bit. Becouse i can tell there is obviously a player made camera "turret" for looking. But when i made one, if weaponcore is being used i can not assume control of the "turret" camera. So maybe explain stuff like this.

Awesome

😎👍👍👍👍👍

Ahoy all you sagacious scalawags i

Could you list all mods you're using?

I just wish space engineers has better enemies system. The space is divided into several zones where higher zones has harder and numerous enemies. The rewards of clearing this zones is gaining access to rarer or bigger mining sites, repair NPC, etc. I kinda don't like randomly generated enemies.

Cruiser is a large multipurpose warship, what basically is a operation base for entire guild. Those ships basically can do everything cruising around the space and blowing things up. Basically indefinitely (full facility including rafinery). The only exception is that they generally should not fight other capital ships. Which are typically designed to take them out. That is all. Battlecruiser is basically the same, but with some traits of the Battleships and they job is specifically hunting the other Cruisers and support of the fleets during the battle. Though typically they aren't as capable in this role like proper battleships.

Assault Ships aren't actually medium size. But if we consider landing capability as a factor, then yeh. It make sense. Nothing to add in this video. It is exactly what Assault Ships are.

This actually would be simple. Destroyer is a dedicated warfleet escort. As such it need to be capable to catch up to them and face threats a warfleet would take. So a capital ships. That is also source of glass cannon myth. Destroyers by design punch above the weight in environment where they are expected to fight. But they are actually absolute monsters in own actual size category. But of course not everything is for free, as Destroyers tend to lack many facilities. Interesting sub-category of Destroyer is a Fleet Destroyer. Those are bit larger Destroyers, what are actually expected to perform scouting duty, checking way taken by the fleet. Those tend to be bit larger (paralel to Light Cruiser). But otherwise they serve the same role as smaller Destroyer. Trope wise, this type is where you also would expect massive spinal gun. As they may try ambush enemy ships, before arrival of the heavy hitters. In context of the game those are pure combatants! Designed to take and deal hits, to be as compact and maneuverable as possible. Destroyers tend to not have any facilitates (except decent jump drive) and may have almost no crew space, as they rely on support of the larger ships. But generally if you see not too large ship build to kill. That is a Destroyer! Also I decided to mention convoluted history of this class: Everything begin with invention of Torpedo and rising threat of Torpedo Boats. Quite fast threat was countered with use of older class of Gunboats, also armed with Torpedoes (Torpedo Gunboats). But they have major flaw! As boats they were limited to a coastline. Problem was solenoid by Spanish who designed large Torpedo Gunboat called Destructor. It give beginning of this ship type. But with introduction of aerial and submarine threats, (Torpedo) Destroyers grow even larger. This cause problem to the British who need smaller ships for different task. So Corvette was actually a derivative, as small specialized warship (Frigate come from that later, thorough US initially defined Frigate as larger then Destroyer, but that later changed). Anyway (Escort) Destroyers grow and at one point they were large enough to take duty of Fleet Leader, what were Light Cruisers performing scouting duty. The End.

Frigates are literal definition of Jack of all Trades. Those are ships large enough to do most of the jobs (they also can be easily specialized), but small enough so loosing one would not be huge blow to operations. Those are basically workhorses od the navies and most ships used by players fall in this category. Especially as they have decent cargo space. Though they aren't really expected of proper fleet combat, at best somewhere in second line. In context of the game those would be basically typical well armed and fast, small mobile bases, with assembler setup allowing repairs in the field. Decent crew space as you would stay long time in those. Sometimes even rafinery. Weapons would be diverse as you never know if you bump on ship or the swarm of fighters. Though commonly you would end running from the threats. Especially as they should be also affordable. I personally also use Escort ship type (called by Americans Destroyer Escort and British Sloop). Those are basically armed merchantman or low end warship, used for protection of the convoys. As those may not have jump drives (especially AI cargo ships) Escorts also do not need have it or may have optional. Typically larger then Corvettes as crew spend a lot of time inside, but sometimes even less armed and structurally sound. Absolute budget design! I could also add Escort Carrier. What are smaller Carriers used for providing craft maintenance of convoys and fleets lacking proper Fleet Carriers. Those also tend to bit more armed in point defense and to a degree overlap with Escorts. But they have proper facilities for usually a wing of fighter crafts and a jump drives, so they could escape without loosing assets. Destroyers are sometimes defined as uparmed Frigates (what literally Heavy Frigate is). But those get explanation later.

So my general comment about this issue. But first of disclaimer I would say only once to not repeat in every video. Ship Type (the proper name) is a role ship fulfill in the navy. Not a size! A role. And it is extremely dependent on in setting how big those are and how things relate to other things (this also change between countries and time periods, so same ship may have different classification depending on that, but the role still stay defined). So what is a Corvette? It is smallest capable warship. Dentition (in modern sense) was for the first time used during WW2 when British need cheap ship for anti-submarine roles, after Destroyers grow too large for many smaller tasks. It is why it is sometimes defined also as "glorified gunboat" what is sometimes also used regard early Destroyers. In context of SE, Corvettes are cheap, easy to mass produce ships. What are generally capable of interplanetary travel (usually have jump drive), but still are in high end of the mass produced. For example using ship printers. Many Corvettes also is capable of planetary landing, because they are small enough for that to be relatively easy and they tend to serve as auxiliary ships for moving between military operation zones. Despite being expendable, they commonly do have basic assembler setup and med bay in case of the crash. As they are expected to operate far from the bases. As side note, related Gunboats are short range, mass produced, specialized heavy crafts. Quite commonly lacking any support equipment as they are expected just to do the job as cheap as possible and not go far from the base of operation. Tend to have cockpit instead proper command deck. Corvettes are that on steroids.

One thing to remember, think of destroyers almost like the rifleman of the fleet. they are versatile, dependable, and need to be plentiful enough so that they can effectively complete their objectives. Depending on your weapons system that you use whether it be vanilla or something like the assault weapons pack, understanding, the loadout of a destroyer is important. Capital size weapons that make sense aboard a destroyer need be layed out well. For the Example at hand, I’ll use the (Yet Unpublished) “Doveka” Class Destroyer. Its armament consists of 5 dorsal twin barreled 400mm gun turrets, three ventral twin barrel 400 mm gun turrets, and two twin barrel 400 mm gun turrets to both port and starboard. All weapons on board are staggered so that all forward facing weapons can fire forward in direct action. All of this is complemented by the quad 1000mm spinal gun battery. Secondary armaments include 8 43mm rotary auto cannon turrets, 6 220mm burst fire rocket turrets, and a set of 4 80mm flak guns. The armament of the vessel is primarily dedicated to taking out enemy ships, laying down heavy firepower, while still having some capability to defend itself against and other perceived threats. Much like you touched on in the video, it’s length is only 62 blocks in length however, it is a bit taller than most of its contemporaries. The reason behind this is to incorporate more internal space for damage control systems, and crew accessibility. Depending on the design, a destroyer can be either very well-made or very poorly made. You either have a very well made destroyer, or a very poorly madelight cruiser, heavy frigate, or some other assault vessel. All of the ships here are great examples of a destroyer in their own respective lore, and everyone here has done a great job of capturing the feeling of what a destroyer should do. They need to be built in such a way that whatever faction is utilizing them, has a dependable, cheap, easily relied upon, capable vessel that can punch hard, take a task and complete it.

Looks awesome very shiny

I love the colour pattern on these vessels of yours. Not sure if you did it just to show up for the video, but I think they're quite effective dazzle camouflage. The bright red rounded head of the ship is certainly a distracting target, as opposed to the rest of its more subtle colour pattern. I bet it would be hard to hit these where you wanted to.

My all time favorite drop ship is the UD-4 "Cheyenne" Dropship from Aliens. Able to deploy the heavily armored M577 APC and infantry while providing firepower support.

Gotta love gunships but for me I like to call them Cutters since they're also the patrol and law enforcement vessels of a star system. Granted there are other types of Cutters which could be another video for you to do. Like you said they're like frigates taking on utilitarian roles as well but I'd say they are more utilitarian then frigates where as frigates are more combat oriented. So like the US Coast Guard you got your law enforcement and patrol cutter which you pretty much already have right here in this vid. You would have salvage and rescue cutters which can also be used to confiscate ships and cargo which is a handy ship to have when seizing a defeated pirates goods. You could even have a variant of a ice breaking cutter that's meant to deal with asteroids being a heavily built and sturdy ship that can take a great deal of impact damage and can also be used to tank hits from pirates who happen to get their hands on some heavier firepower. And of course all of them would be capable search and rescue vessels some of them also tending to space buoy's or satellites. Lots of fun and great video.

Me as The creator of my own version of Daedalus class ship laughs in 280 mil kgs

I was actually considering that about the classification myself in regards to size. Corvette is more suitable. Also maybe should have mentioned the airlock activates by closing the open door as well... Thanks for the review. It is now listed as a corvette.

Wow, I'm super late to the party here, lol. Great vid! Thank you!

I am the creator of this fur, thanks for the video

Me and my faction have been looking for a reliable, smaller sized, drop ship/gunship that can fit in the belly hangar of our capita ship. We’ve currently been making do with a Wyvern, however it’s hard to recover Any reccomendations from the workshop?

As a war thunder player, I agree

I found another one! Yes, it is based on a ship from star citizen. It was a fun build and I have made a total of 3 based on this concept. Thanks for the review!

I like how he butchers my name every time. I think your world was set to have scripts off, none of the scripts that were supposed to be running were active. Great review overall.

Hey man, was just directed to this video you did on my ship by a kind player on Steam. Nice review. It is due for a nice update given that the ship is a couple years old now and I have learned a few new tricks. Dropped a sub so I can follow your future vids. Keep it up.

Fun video always gotta love battleships I mean how can you not love a heavily protected vessel meant to deliver firepower dominance. For suggestions in identifying more warship types I would suggest the Monitor and I don't mean the USS Monitor from the civil war. I'm talking about series of warships built by the British which were meant to provide offshore battery support. They did not have the protection of battleships or battlescruisers and were in fact smaller than cruisers they were poor seaworthy ships that were not very maneuverable; but they brought big guns for artillery support which is ideal for an island nation military power like the UK. I could definitely see them having a place in a sci-fi setting where they can be dedicated to supporting planetary invasions and occupations while the other more true warships are busy else where taking on the enemy fleet. If you were looking for glass cannon it would be these ships. You could also do videos about the other two warship types with battle in their title, the battlecruiser and battlecarrier. However there would have to be a signifcant difference between them and the battleship. As you pointed out the Iowa's were fast battleships which rendered battlecruisers obsolete; but then again no one was trying to build battlecruisers when the Iowa's came along so. They are all roughly the same size but each lack something that the other two have. Battleships would have the firepower and protection; but lack the speed. Battlecruisers would have the speed and firepower but lack protection. Battlecarriers would have the speed and protection but lack the firepower. Sure they can deploy a small number of strike craft like a carrier but due to its limited number of squadrons they're not going to be as effective and the battlecarrier itself is not gonna have the same amount of firepower as a battleship or battlecruiser.

Oh I'm so so happy you mentioned that point defense is a must have on a carrier. I've never liked completely unarmed carriers, might as well just be a plan boring transport ship. I do feel like these are more just escort carriers due to how cramped they seem but thats no big deal really. Another good vid definitely enjoying your warship type identification series.

can you please link the items from video in description so that we can subs to them?

You said cruisers don't bully; but thats exactly what cruisers were originally meant to be as they were the commerce raiders which is bullying transports and freighters. Even the battlecruisers despite being big capital ships were also commerce raiders which is why they were originally called battlecruisers and not fast battleships. The cruisers were also originally being built larger to keep certain ships from coming after them so the enemy has to send either a group of ships or the same size ship to get rid of them because cruisers were the biggest bully's of them all and they remained that way all the way up until WWII. Otherwise great video; but I'm surprised that you don't go into the subtypes of light and heavy cruiser.

Oh the you colored it now and looks good

Awesome build!!! Would make a great addition to any fleet.

TBH I would be too distracted with stealing the SPRT cargo ships, and end up with all I need from that salvage, breaking the scenario, lol

The newest Keen Newsletter on "LoRa Models" includes (among other things) a concept art picture of a nice-looking digitigrade mech leg... so maybe there's a chance (albeit a slim one) we'll see something promising in 1.205. Non-squishy, non-clang-y mechs would be a dream come true for SE. Making them transformable would be a huge bonus. BlackArmor and some others have some nice walkers and the like, but as things currently stand, they're always going to be significantly sub-optimal to the point of near uselessness. Defensive Shields certainly helps considerably.

You have to build the large non Industrial refinery ( I had the same problem not sure if it's a Bug or not.)

The gun turrets look like they are obstructed by the engines.

I'm so glad you pointed out that destroyers are not just glass cannons and can be brawlers as well. I've never liked how some make the claim that they're just glass cannons. I also like that you got into subclasses of destroyers with flanking destroyers and such. Speaking of subclass I would mention Escort Destroyers and Destroyer Escorts and yes there really is a difference between them. However there is no need to mention them because their roles could be fulfilled by frigates.

The majority of arguments for what the difference is between a ship and a boat are mostly antiquated from before the 20th century. If you were to ask a ship builder today they would tell you that ships have certain design complexities that make them more ideally suited for traversing the open oceans where as boats are less ideal and have limited range restricting them to coastal waters. Submariners call their submarines boats out of naval tradition from when they were called submarine boats and were restricted to coastal waters or were tethered to mothership via an airline. However in today's navy they are registered as ships and it shows in their title USS which stands for United States Ship. A submarines equivalent in space would most likely just a be a frigate or a destroyer that can cloak. Understanding the difference between ships and boats I really like your established doctrine that corvettes have to be jump capable. Which is something I agree with because if it wasn't jump capable I would just call it a system patrol boat or maybe give it the designation of Cutter. I'd also like to mention that while it is true that corvettes are primarily long range patrol and scout ships they are also meant to be rapid response ships where they can quickly deploy and provide reinforcements as escorts. Which is why some corvettes are heavily armed such as the Soviet Nanuchka class.

Ah man this is so damn cool, makes me feel like a smart boi 😂😂

I absolutely love the sojourn and the ships in it. BTW, Those two parallel orange glowing bars at the back are the heat exhaust vents for the ship! Kudos to the builder for making this wonderful ship in SE and to you for making a showcase about it.

British Imperial Tea trading company

"because currently I am God" got me.

Well unless you base it off of a specific time in naval history or are inspired by a ship classification system of a certain IP a frigate can basically be whatever you want it to be and it will not be limited by size or weapons.

I love the deep dives into the logic and use of ship classes. This all makes me feel like I'm playing a different game. Where do i need to go to participate in these epic ship battles where this information is inspired from?

do i need the top mounted camera? i dont have the dlc
