BSG - Total War

[@rageagaintstheNWO]

After so many years, it's still epic.

[@keithcain967]

13 years and still the best BSG pastiche Gods I miss this show, there is nothing to match it

[@JediNg135]

Still the best or one of the best BSG battle compilations out there. Just wish there was a 1080p HD version lol. Music is perfect for this compilation.

[@natonorad7388]

From 2:00 to 3:20 is very hard core. This is what dreams are made of.

[@fordtrucksrule88]

Would love to see a BSG series depicting a Colonies vs Cylon war on even ground. None of this sneak attack BS. Battle Star Groups vs Cylon main battle fleet. No hacks, straight up capital ship slugfest (with fighters in support).. A nerd can dream...

[@natonorad7388]

I concur. That would be dream material.

[@rachellevin9855]

So say we all!

[@briansouthparkstudio1357]

be awesome but the cylons would get their asses handed to them we have seen how inferior a basestar is to a battlestar. the cylons outright admit they couldn't have won a conventional war with the colonials

[@jtno2]

Honestly, Clonetrooper87 deserves most of the credit. I just happened upon his vid while playing around with the King Arthur soundtrack. The two fit like a glove.

[@BaseDeltaZero1972]

Still the best BSG clip on here...pure space porn.

[@richardthomas6890]

A bit of escapism from one of the best sci-fi series on TV and only bettered by the British Blake’s 7 series that needs to be brought into the 21st century and like Galactica not changed out of all recognition from the 70’s programmes Nice one 👍🏻

[@FoxxofNod]

The best BSG video on you tube hands down, now i have to go back and watch the series all over again!

[@JediNg135]

A friend of mine used to use this video to get people hooked on BSG. Epic video. Nice editing. So say we all. Battlestar Galactica (2003 - 2009)

[@GillianMStarlight]

This show has some of the best space-battle scenes EVER. There were moments in the 'Resurrection Ship' episode that were almost an out of body experience.

[@scottmiller6167]

best ever

[@Bazbat01]

Excellent my friend.. The music was very fitting... I have to admit that the scene where Galactica and Pegasus are circling and pummeling the Basestar from Ressurection still gets me going... No lasers or phasers........ Just bombs and bullits.. Fantastic battlescene and hats off to you for putting it together..

[@knightelliott]

10. Everything you ever wanted in a war montage. BSG and the MUSIC to match. I wish more were like this one. 10!

[@KillahMate]

Rarely have I seen such accuracy in clip naming. This truly is Battlestar Galactica - Total War. You, sir, know your business.

[@Gia008]

This is by far the best battlestar galactica vi ive seen yet amazing job

[@jtno2]

Thanks. I hope they don't get pissed when they realize that big ass space battles only comprise a relatively small part of the show! Still an awesome series(although it's been dragging a bit with so many filler episodes recently, but it'll pick up again).

[@schizoid7]

I love at 2:58 when the Vipers turn towards the ressurection ship at a perpendicular angle and strafe it all the way down the line. Awesome!

[@DLordSadow]

As an addendum, American and Japanese designers were painfully aware of this vulnerability and took drastic steps to protect their capital ships against underwater shell hits. Namely, the South Dakotam Iowa, Montana(projected but not built) and Yamato classes all featured lower internal (even if the main belt was external) armor belts that went right through the middle of their torpedo protection systems and extended all the way to the keel.

[@VortexCZ]

gret story, amazing camera angels, powerfull music by Bear McCreary - that all and more makes BSG one of a kind sci-fi experience. Thans for this video, good job

[@Napalmratte]

@AnteyPL ok, just 2 things: 1) today we have the technics of BSG (except the thing with the gravitation and the jumps) 2) i just love BSG because its sci fi and more or less realistical at once, and yes i love when big ships fire big shells ^^ so can we have a agreement, that you know more and i have my peace? i don't wanna have a never ending argumentation ...

[@MeatloafBomb]

FLAWLESS VICTORY. The music is just PERFECT! Great video dude. The only thing really missing is the Pegasus death scene, but beyond that--amazing work.

[@Napalmratte]

No2: aslo adama had to defend the civil fleet and therefore he had no chance for a longterm attack - run! the scene were they attack the rekogning - fleet it wasn't adamas only decision - it was admiral canes decision! and there you saw that the cylons didn't have a chance! any questions? :)

[@WeissVogel]

The music is very martial and appropriate for this vid...and to match that with how Galactica and the Pegasus whipped some Basestar's ass just brings the oompf factor way up. Hats off to the creator! So say we all!

[@OMEGA10277]

Excellent!! 10 stars for you jtno2. You really know how to choose the right music for such great scene. Keep up the good work!

[@xHalfpipepaul]

Incredible. When pegasus and galactica were fighting the resurection fleet, it sent chills up my spine. 10/10 my freind.

[@jtno2]

Thanks! Your video matched pretty damn well the first time I ran the music with it, all I did was tweak it.

[@Napalmratte]

@FORTYSHIPS sry - of course vipers ^^ well, this is your point of view - and i have an other ^^ but one question: can raiders damage a battlestar if you don't give them nukes? o0 so an other opportunity would have been that galactica or pegasus jumps to the cylon fleet and gives a few salvos to the ressurection ship - it would be enough and the cylons wouldn't have been able to do sth against it! ^^

[@hunterofmammoths]

Also, I like the aircraft carrier comparison. BSG combines the best elements of a battleship (heavy guns and plenty of armor, since there's no weight limit) with the power of an aircraft carrier. If you'll remember, I believe it was aircraft from Soldier Field that chased down and sank the crippled Hiei and Kirishima after the battle you mentioned. The armor also helps nullify the traditional weaknesses of an aircraft carrier, namely that it is a floating bomb with aviation gas and munitions.

[@jtno2]

Thanks. I've got a couple more ideas for bsg vids as soon as Sci-Fi Channel gets off their butts and releases the season 3 dvds in the US!

[@rageagaintstheNWO]

16 years old. Wtf, i feel old now

[@jtno2]

So say we all.

[@Napalmratte]

@DRienecker i watched all except the 4th season but if you watched it, you would know that adama said at the very beginning: we have to fight also the cylons only had a chance because they had a program in the battlestars so that they were unable to fight so the cylons nuked them with maybe 3 or 4 nukes. also the only reason why adama didn't attak the cylons is, that there were no shipyards for greater repairs left and they had to defend the civil fleet!

[@DanStreit]

If they ever release the series on Blu Ray you'll need to redo it all in HD goodness. :P Great video.

[@AbsentBlue]

Universal has actually said they will release BSG on Blu Ray sometime this year-- I'd imagine they'll start releasing them when the show is done. I do have the first season on HD-DVD and it's nothing short of incredible.

[@Rhron]

As a proud Spacebattle member I can say that movied kicked ass =) The music was good, and so were the scene clips.

[@DLordSadow]

The board's reasoning in its dismissal had one fundamental flaw; they would have absolutely no way of knowing the point at which the shell hit the water and bgan its underwater trajectory. Also the Japanese and US had discovered years earlier that a water impact didn't necessarily trigger the shell's fuse. The British also had no meaningful data on the ballistic properties of German Naval ordinance until after WWII. This is why the board's dismisal carries little weight in a number of circles.

[@2771]

wow! that was just wow. great work the soundtrack was awsome it fit so well. thank you for a great vid.

[@DLordSadow]

As a final addendum: ( I appologize for being so long winded) The British and German naval architects were apparently unaware of this threat until after their ships were hit in this manner. It should be noted that even if they did, and took appropriate steps in their new designs, nothing really could have been done for Hood. There really wouldn't have been any feasible way to retro-fit an internal belt extending to the ship's keel.

[@Anglashock]

Some of the best space battles ever.......awesome. Turn it up!

[@Confrence]

The music fits pretty well with this. Good Job.

[@nttb6403]

I searched for this vid for a long time. Great great vid. thanks for posting. I wish one day we human can build a space ship like those in Galactica.

[@TheRealSlimTeddy]

every time i see a bsg video.. I feel like i must watch it again for the fifth time!

[@hunterofmammoths]

One thing we never really saw in the BSG universe (with the debatable exception of the Heavy Raider) was a kind of lighter, cruiser or destroyer-class ship to complement the big, expensive Battlestar or Basestar. Smaller, cheaper ships for suppressing pirates or chasing down Cylon intruders would've been an interesting addition to the Galactica fleet, if any had survived the Fall. They could've been on deployed on reconnaissance-in-force stuff, like the events of Razor, for example. my two $. :)

[@jtno2]

Tell me about it. The source was via dvd player through a video capture device from Pinnacle. I've seen other videos on KZbin that look great. Any suggestions for improving the quality would be appreciated.

[@CIVIC170]

jtno2, GREAT choice in music, from "King Aurther". very good editing. GJ!

[@Clonetrooper87]

Dude!! Damn, this is even better than mine! I guess it's pretty flattering that ur basing this on my video, but seriously, your editing job was waaay better. I can imagine this as a trailer if BSG was a movie. Awesome job!

[@pakachakawaka]

Raiders, 'skinjobs' *aka the 12 cylon models*, and the basestars are all bio-mechanic. Although you never see blood when the basestars explode. One of the episodes that show that the basestars are bio-mechanic is the one where Sharon sees the multiple copies of herself when she tries to deploy the nuke bomb.

[@Napalmratte]

@FORTYSHIPS ok ^^ yea, well the raiders can damage/destroy the turrents but they aren't well armored ^^ also i thought about the structure of a battlestar - the raiders can't damage it! also a battlestar would be able to create a huge flak field around the center of a basestar, where the raiders launche - this would be very effective i wonder why they didn't do it in the show : /

[@Yahilles]

Perfect music, BSG have the best space battles ever. 5 stars for this clip.

[@greyfox129]

Using the King Arthur score are we. Nice job it's one of my favorite scores.

[@Napalmratte]

@AnteyPL ... well ok, if you see it like that, let me say this: space is quite different from earth, so you also can't have gravitation the normal way in space in a ship (except centrifugal force ...) but the point is: i discused about the weaponsystems and not about gravitation (well, on all tv shows the gravitation is mostly wrong) also in star trek the phasers are particle weapons and they have an enourmos power, but in the tv show they are weak and just hilarious

[@righteousham]

The reason why those sequences are the best is because they are hugely expensive. That is the same reason why they don't have them more often.

[@assurbanipalsegundo]

Breathtaking...

[@jtno2]

I added a link in the description. It should let you download the video from filefront. When I played it back the sound was 'tinny', but hopefully that was just the filefront player.

[@vagrant1943]

Still awesome! Needs a remaster!

[@TheREALSisko]

very sweet. I had planned to do something like this with the "prelude to war" track from season 2. Glad I didnt as with stuff like your vid it would have just been "meh" since yours and others are so good. So I then decided to put it to real war footage instead. BSG FTW

[@Napalmratte]

@FORTYSHIPS you are not completely wrong ^^ they had to lure the raiders far away, because they needed their own raiders to fight the reckogning ship! and in a normal battle, galactica has these raiders to fight the cylon raiders :) also the baseships fight with rockets witch can be destroyed, bevore they hit galactica but galactica fights with grenades to this comes the thick armor of galactica ^^ and at the end of the battle, two baseships were down and both battlesars had little damage! ^^

[@SavageJim01]

I am so glad that Ron Moore remade BSG, and I know for sure he did so in homage to Glen Larson's original BSG. I just wish Glenn Larson could have carried out the story line of the original BSG, I am pissed that his BSG was canceled after only one season. Better yet, I would have loved to have seen what Glenn Larson could have done with his BSG if he had the special effects Ron Moor has today.

[@RayPall]

2:40 you can see that two battlestars working as team are able to concentrate whole shitload of firepower on one target and simultaneously fire to other basestars around...I think that battlestars working in pairs would be devastating starships...

[@potzo]

wish this was in better quality...

[@Rudrash]

perfect job!!!my best youtube BSG video

[@xz569]

@jtno2 hmm this is from a dvd? just take the source of the video straight from the dvd and audio, slap it together if you intend to keep the sound and edit or add effect with say premiere pro and after effect (yeah i know expensive sofware) However if you just copy it from the dvd you have mpeg2 quality movie that you can edit for your pleasure.

[@Robi12345robi12345]

@usnsquirrel i must agree with you regarding the jumpdrive, but if u consider rest of the ship it is possible. Not everything space related comes from NASA. Galactica main guns if i recall are some kind of railguns and if i remember correctly US navy is researching that kind of guns, but as you say their tech is mostly 50-75 years away, if you do not count communication technology on Galactica.

[@Napalmratte]

@jkirschy ^^ you are right - galactica is not as powerfull as pegasus and i never told the opposite but what i say is, that also this old battlestar is able to fight and to give great damage to it's enemies also it' very important how you handle a battlestar if you're able to handle it very good, you can fight even 2 baseships down - if you WANT but calactica never wanted a fight - except the ressurection fleet! there are many possibilities, a battlestar can destroy a basestar... ^^

[@Napalmratte]

@jkirschy i know that and you're absolutely right with it the difference is: WWII was real - this is 'just a tv - show' (though i love it and it's/was one of the best shows in tv ever!) but the difficulty is: on the one hand: galactica is lost in the show most times on the other hand: galactica can hold of two basestars for a long time (miniseries) the relations in the show chance all the time but if you take the show for real (the damages from shells and rockets) --> calactica> 1! basestar

[@Napalmratte]

@AnteyPL i think i have a good understanding and also a good knowledge how things function in reality sciens fiction might be a free interpretation of natural laws and should look good, but it can't be, that at one scene a phaser destroys a big warbird with shields and in the next scene the phaser has no effect on an old bird of prey (forget about the technical differences between the cultures!) you know what i mean? also photon torpedos: they are too lame for the name - just like normal shells!

[@Napalmratte]

well - that depends to the point of view the cylons follow you and they attack you you have to defend yourself all the time and the fleet - and you get damages all the time. you can't defend with your whole firing power and most of this firing power gets lost in most times senseless defence firing - if you saw this video properly you'll have seen that a battlestar doesn't need much time to destroy a basestar - if you are in the attack run you have a lot of advantages on your side....

[@vonBeavis]

Well done compilation. Thanks.

[@upthebikez]

Oh man, I feel like S:AB is such an underrated show, glad someone else agrees. It's ironic that with all the crap "fantasy" films hollywood keeps pumping out that the true art is either ignored or underrepresented. So say we all.

[@jtno2]

@ThePiemandan You can thank clonetrooper. His video is the template for this one...but thanks anyway!

[@EggiHL]

thanks for the exellent movie!!

[@DreadlordofArch]

Awesome video and excellent music *Favorited* :D

[@MarcoFelix731]

It´s a considerable improvement over the regular soundtrack of the series; the battle scenes become epic!!!

[@jtno2]

Damn, I meant to reply to your comment about re-doing the vid with Razor clips but I hit 'remove' instead(I was removing the other comments). Anyways, the only problem with the Razor clips and anything done after the 2nd season is the graphics are noticeably different style-wise. It's not as gritty and hyper-realistic as it was in Seasons 1 and 2. It's become more colorful and conventional(like SG-1) which isn't bad but it's not the same either. Really noticeable in my other vid.

[@ThePiemandan]

this is a brilliant video

[@Robi12345robi12345]

@usnsquirrel i can see that aerodynamics would have major role in Viper and Raptor desing but in desing of BSG it would not matter much as there is no air ressistance in moving trought space. Only requirements of BSG desing would be structural integrity and turret positioning, along with rest of the "normal" requirements for space ship like life support, armor and all that. My main problem in discussing this is my lack of lanague skills (as i never learned english in school) so there is alot...

[@jtno2]

@danboyguitar94 I don't think there's any doubt. It's the Raider's blood and guts being sprayed out into space. I don't remember the Centurions having a similar bio-organic component like the Raiders though.

[@Xops2]

I think it is safe to say Battlestar has the best visual effects of any TV show, probably movie too.

[@Napalmratte]

@jkirschy hmm ... but you really can't go on comparng them with battleships of WWII i mean, the main idea is correct: basestars and battlestars are some kind of battleships if you think of the main batteries (but basestars shoot rockets, not shells) - but they are a hybrid between a battleship and an aircraftcarrier (both) - 2 powerfull kinds of ships IMO but I'd say: the mixture is somewhere difficult you can't protect the entire ship: the vipers have to ome out somewhere ... and so on ^^

[@Spideymun]

Nicely put together :)

[@jtno2]

I think BSG has the best space battles ever rendered on either tv or big screen(take that Lucas!). I can't wait for Razor(?) to come out in Nov.

[@nehorlavazapalka]

ah, of course you would be able to hear some of the explosions, because the gas released by the explosion would make a medium (like air on earth) of course that relates to close detonations (100,200m or the flack barrier)

[@Undergottensnotten]

They were designed to face the Cylon menace. It makes sense they're capable of defeating said menace.

[@lestat23989]

...just...awesome

[@jtno2]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure what he gains from posting a poorer, quality copy of the video as calling it his own but I'm not going to worry about it too much. I just want to know what the whole 'NOD' tie-in is about?

[@ronin730]

thanks a lot :p, this is a super cool video

[@jtno2]

Budget Meeting - Hans Zimmer, from the King Arthur soundtrack.

[@g2reject]

best show ever

[@Kenneth1976]

HELLVA VIDEO BSG RULES FOR ALL TIME!!!

[@lazzizzal]

That's what space battles should be in all scifi series, massive explosions and feeling that ship is made of something, not just piece of paper covered by somekind of shields...;) but in BSG explosions are just little bit more massive =P anyway, bigger BOOM looks always cooler =)

[@Docthewrench]

awesome video i seen stuff i never seen in the series. I never liked the Soap opera drama of this version of BSG but there were some interesting points in it the end was good but left more open ends then it started with

[@KillahMate]

Zoic and the in-house team, take a bow.

[@enderwiggin0591]

excellent music choice

[@Ticonderoga444]

love it. Hats off

[@jtno2]

'Budget Meeting' from the King Arthur movie soundtrack.

[@jtno2]

@desalator33 Basestars are the main capital warships of the Cylons, Battlestars are the main capital warships of the Colonies.

[@Subarusebb]

Most of the missiles are shot down by the Vipers. And think about it, their armour may be thick but look how many problem it is causing throughout the ship - adds to the drama i suppose. Plus the Galactica keeps jumping away.

[@Napalmratte]

hmm ... here you see what happens to the cylons if a battlestar attacs --> they die but the cylons have only a chance if they attac a battlestar and it defends a fleet if the battlestar would attac the baseship at it's attac run, the baseship would loose or gets heavy damage it's bad about the series that they didn't take more scenes where a battlestar attacs a cylon fleet IMO

[@KillahMate]

Badass. Just... badass.

[@k0rman]

amazing video and song
