I think they did a great job conveying just how enormous of a threat the Vanduul are too the UEE. This gives me halo ce vibes where we are on the back foot trying to catch up

[@hirqx6570]

The attention to detail during this whole fight is what blows my mind. I must have watched it 5 or 6 times by now and I am still finding new things. My fave sequence is how Bishop purposefully dropped the shields on the Krugeri much lower than the hits would have taken them to trick the Kindship into using its main weapon on it, just to bring them back up last second to deflect the hit. Or the way the kingship shoots all those missiles at the Krugeri just to drop the shields as much as possible to ensure penetration. Or how Bishop times sending in SQ42 to just as the Kingship uses its main weapon, probably assuming the massive power drain would weaken the shields enough It really feels like both sides are really giving it their all and not just purposefully being incompetent for the sake of the story.

[@Brosion99]

Wow, good catch! I was so focused on the cinematic I didn’t realize the meta plan in bishops actions! I love the battle even more now!

I think it's a rehash of of Wing Commander, both the movie and the videogames...

@@johnbenoy7532 It's easily explained as them being on a peacetime level of readiness and nobody expecting the entire rebel fleet to jump into the sector.

2:24 a fun lore tidbit the reason they said "Getting a weird power spike from the king ship" is the UEE (humans) have never won a battle when a King ship is present. Most have never survived the encounter. So they are not fully aware of it's capabilities.

[@splatoonistproductions5345]

Ik I’ve already commented on this vid, but man I love the battle and the music. Tho I am curious as to the exact number of ships of each class in the 2nd fleet. I mean we see the idris, the javelin, the hammerhead and bengal and the sorta cruiser/battlecruiser, but I’m not sure how many of each ship there is aside from the bengal and the battle cruisers like Argus. aside from the bengal and 5 “Argus” battle cruisers, I think I counted something like 6-8 javelin destroyers, about 8+ idris frigates and about 10+ hammerheads at least. I’m just trying to figure out the exact composition of this fleet to try and gauge its strength in each respective aspect, like anti fighter, anti cap ship etc, while tryna find out how flexible it all is. Reason for that is I see a lot of ships like at least 3 javelin destroyers in flames by the end, like 4+ idris frigates, at least 5 hammerheads exploding or wrecked with at least 1 battlecruiser being cleaved in half. obviously I’m tryna figure out what the fleet is geared towards and what it would otherwise be capable of if it had to send a number of ships elsewhere while the core part of the fleet and the bengal stay in some area’s defensively, as the ship and the battle cruisers aren’t anywhere near as fast as javelins or idris ships.

[@ianmcintosh418]

IIRC the fleets are a legacy (for want of a better word) of the Xian cold war. A peer enemy - or at least the UEE thought they were a peer. Since the Xian were "fighting" a two front war I think in the end they are much more formidable than the UEE ever imagined.

I understand they have to add sound effects to keep audience engaged, but at least try to imagine these exterior shots of the battle being dead silent.

The only sounds you'd hear in this battle is the rattling of your guns firing and the thuds of impacts against your hull.

[@eltreum1]

In one of their previous demos, they showed off a realistic audio mode option. All you hear is your ships engines and weapons resonating dampened noise and frame stress flex creaks through the chassis into the cockpit. You also only hear enemy shots that strike the ship and resonate through the hull. For those that want the extra immersion they have us covered.

It's also odd that the barrels of their cannons are rifled. What would be the point of it? There's no atmosphere in space? The smoke from the guns firing too. That amount of smoke means they're still using chemical reactions to fire their munitions and the more smoke, the worse the ratio of the chemicals being used to fire the munitions. Ideally there should be just a flicker of light.

Wow! One chap made This? It’s top gun in space!

[@dukeofhazard420]

Definitely not a one man job, it’s been around a decade of building a whole studio and designing and redesigning the game to reach this

@@dukeofhazard420 its a scam, unfinished game that is still scamming people today.

[@dukeofhazard420]

@@stephenlyon1358 for 35 bucks I’ve gotten way more gameplay out of this game then any crappy COD repeat or similar game. If that’s a scam then it still puts a lot of games to shame

The canons on the warships has rifled barrels. Does the rifling has an effect on projectiles fired in space?

[@bjornjoseph]

[@SenorGato237]

Game of the year 2016!

And beyond 👍

[@Mobius_Pizza]

This need more Ace Combat style radio chatter. And why do capital ships need to close their distances? It is more risky with no tactical gain unless they want to launch boarding ships.

[@osuave7811]

That's a good idea 💡 Maybe a good sound designer will create a video with that specific upgrade 😉 🫡

[@jaybluff281]

The Vanduul literally do close to point blank so they can board.

[@raphmaster23]

Vanduul have been known to ram ships. They dont like to distance fight like the fights in the expanse

[@doubt3430]

oh shit is this star citizen devs actually putting the money we give them to use?

[@AstroSpaceDiscoveries]

[@shannondavidson9549]

Wonder who Mark Richard Hamill play as this time?

[@themeddite]

He's your mentor in this game so he's in the majority of the game

[@user-vh89930]

oh look all our money went to the vfx of this

[@MarkoRunjevic]
