[@Installation00]

Hey guys. This is just the beginning. I will cover tons of lore from tons of franchises. But this is a trial of the merger and experimenting with new content. Nothing that can't be undone if it doesn't work out!

[@Forced2DoThis1]

Been looking forwards to this endeavor from you! The intro is EPIC! Also....Since it's been a personal thorn for over a year, I'd LOVE for you to tackle (Unless I've missed it someplace else) the subject of the Sub-light speed capabilities of The BSG (RIS) universe's ships especially the Galactica. Yes I know the games aren't that big...But still. 😅

[@carsonhunt4642]

Maybe consider a different thumbnail theme for each series/universe ? Or at least add the game title somewhere. It will ruin your video metrics if ppl click on it and quickly leave often (thinking it was a halo video, but then leave 15 seconds in seeing it’s not).

[@Hailfire08]

I'm all for it!

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

​@carsonhunt4642 Considering that the subject of the video is in the title, it's pretty obvious if something's Halo or not.

[@Egeslean]

@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem when I'm going to a channel page that I'm subscribed to, i rarely look at the title when i open a video in a new tab (which is how i view videos normally).

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite breakdown on the Citadel.

[@Capt_Spork]

I came here to make this exact comment and you beat me by 4 minutes lol

[@desmondmiles3166]

Best comment here

[@amolchan001]

Beat me to it, dang work

[@UncleNavi]

Shepard.

[@ollikoskinen1]

No, I am the real Commander Shepard, and I approve this comment.

[@bthsr7113]

Our home, our wings, our revenge, our vessel of hope. Lot of strong memories for a lot of people with this space frame.

[@HolySilverStrike]

You know the reveal was iconic. When this game came out in 2010 and I saw the reveal my jaw dropped I was so giddy

[@jaw0449]

As a physicist, I always appreciate your breakdowns…but this! This is my favorite ship!!

[@uoriwoh]

The talk about the thrusters technology was pretty crazy. Out of curiosity, was any of it relative to reality?

[@jarivuorinen3878]

@@uoriwoh I'm not a physicist, but from propulsion standpoint all that matters is kinetic energy. Speculative stuff is element zero and resulting negative mass, as well as FTL, but these are in many sci-fi franchises for lore and gameplay reasons. Other than that, any charged particle can be accelerated in electric field and can provide thrust, and naturally stuff bound by gluons like protons will provide much more charged particles in tight package than electrons or positrons alone could. Electron-positron collision is basically clean and provides radiation, photons, and this means that it can be utilized with mirrors and stuff in theory. Protons and anti-protons are different, these produce lots of charged particles in collision, and then you can use magnetic propulsion to push them out, and this stuff is much more dense to store than electrons maybe. Altough here we get to quantum mechanics and in theory you can push massive amounts of electrons together as you can photons, but how do you contain it? Protons will form neutron star sort of mess and meet degenerate pressure in extreme conditions. Mass Effect however doesn't push things this far, and stays kind of in speculative limits what can be achieved.

[@HeWhoComments]

I saw the thumbnail, the title, and then the channel name. And then I did a double-take. Glad to see 00’s branching out. Mass Effect is awesome!!❤

[@CommanderShepard-wq3wo]

I’m the *REAL* Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite breakdown on the Citadel

[@SargeRho]

"I give you, the SSV Normandy SR2" I don't know how you did it, but you gave me the feeling that I had when I saw the scene unveiling the SR2 all over again.

[@Dothreban]

For real! I got chills!

[@Dothreban]

For real! I got chills!

[@CleverRiley9]

The Normandy is such a goddamn beautiful ship. Its a work of art, and that first time seeing it in Mass Effect 2 will always make me giddy.

[@bthsr7113]

As someone who played the second game first, it was quite the sweet ship, and you could really tell even from the get go before all the upgrades we gave our home.

[@LGCY_RAVEN]

My guy... not only have you covered Halo my number 1 franchise, now you're hitting Mass Effect my number 2 franchise. 😍😍

[@fishescu]

ME lore from Installation 00! Hell yeah baby!!! Whenever I think this channel can not get any better I get smacked over the head with a new video! This is may favorite lore channel on the planet!

[@triplejinc.6301]

2 weeks ago I asked in a mass effect Facebook group if there was anyone that did a installation 00 style deep breakdown and here I am finding out the man himself has done one, fantastic video hopefully we get to see a lot more

[@muellek7]

Great video! One minor correction I noticed. The blue shift limitation of the stealth system only applies to the SR1. The SR2's heat sinks are improved to be able to catch those emissions, thus allowing the SR2 to maintain stealth while entering/exiting FTL. This is not explained in the codex at all. The only mention of this in the games is when you ask Adams how the SR2 compares to the original Normandy at the beginning of ME3. I'm currently in the middle of a multi playthrough marathon of the trilogy, so these videos are great supplemental material!

[@adamgardner3768]

Ooooohhh MASS EFFECT stuff? Now this is a welcome surprise 👌 love this series.

[@Idkman339]

I’m commander Shepard, and I didn’t know I needed this.

[@Hailfire08]

Realistically, if you're accelerating a projectile to relativistic speed, it doesn't matter if it's solid, liquid, gas, or what have you. It's like wondering whether you should put a tungsten tip on your Tsar Bomba so it does more damage on impact.

[@clothar23]

To be fair a hardened tip on a nuclear device would help its ground penetration.

[@andrewbeehler579]

I absolutely love the Normandy reveal cutscene in ME2!

[@uoriwoh]

IES Systems fails* EDI: hold up, let them cook.

[@majordakka5743]

Looking forward to you expanding on the codex entries

[@matthewhalsan6459]

I was not expecting this but i love mass effect, so you explaining some series lore sounds awesome, more content baby!

[@Noviomagus024]

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite game on the Citadel.

[@jacobkemp1183]

Well mate, I suppose you have to do something different, seeing 343 hasn't helped halo much. Looks like a great video, you still have my support. Cheers 🇳🇿

[@themandomerc652]

The timing with the music and intro to the SR2 was perfect. Keep up the amazing work

[@onionboi2]

One KZbinr creating lore content on two of my favorite science fiction games a surprise to be sure but a welcome one

[@crusader7eth163]

I played tons of mass effect the past few months it was a blast been playing lots of games since halo is in the shadows.

[@Lintary]

Lovely breakdown of one of the most iconic ships in science fiction and easily my personal favourite.

[@SwiftGundam]

I miss the Lore Core Multiverse videos. Glad to see this revived like you said.

[@NovoCognition]

I see you are transferring the multiverse videos between channels. Akin to a prior statement, the SSV Normandy SR-2 is a very detailed and well thought out hero ship. Capable where it counts. It'd be interesting to know if ME4 reveals the Normandy's whereabouts.

[@TheThreethumbsup]

That intro to the ship with the music... Literally choked me up holding back tears, this ship and the stories tied to it will be forever cherished by all of us fans

[@bladester0128]

Mass Effect is a series that definitely has some cool equipment that could be explored. Another series worth exploring would be Gears of War, things like the Raven, Lancer, and the Silverback just to name a few

[@beegxxc9832]

Love that ship. It feels much more grounded than other flaghip sci-fi vessels. It took some L’s, got beaten down a few times, had to be built again yet managed to complete its mission.

[@Zeoran]

Damn, the music in Mass Effect was bloody AMAZING!

[@gono4806]

I think a cool lore discussion would be what are the 'pawns' the catalyst used to kill the Leviathans and where are they now. They are presumably even more powerful then reapers as they were used to kill the Leviathans which can mentally dominate even Sovereign-class reapers. If this is the case why does the catalyst no longer use them? In addition, another cool theory is if the Leviathans even used Eezo based tech or rather used alternative tech in addition to eezo based tech as we know the reapers made the relays and yet prior to that the Leviathans were able to control and travel the whole galaxy seemingly with no problem.

[@rashakikizer9889]

Over never played any of the Mass Effect games, but hearing about the lore has me interested. Thanks for this additional content.

[@kingsilvergrass8751]

I'm just glad to hear, Also I'll be excited for a Reboot info lore on Mass Effect BIotic's and Anthem's Javelins

[@blackdog6969]

This is solid. Would love breakdowns of Battlestar Galactica ships, including fighters. Your lore breakdowns would be awesome in that regard

[@z-t-i1242]

MASS EFFECT LET'S GOOOOO!!!!! Love this ship and the game's, thanks for the breakdown 👍

[@captinkrunk101]

When I first subscribed to your channel a few years back these break downs were something you were already experimenting with, you would often compare different armor sets from various universes to the Halo armors, I'm glad your doing this again. So back then I asked in the comments if you could do a halo armor vs vanquish armor vs crysis armor break down, and im still looking forward to it lol 😁

[@AddTotheList]

Mass effect is such a goated series, I would 100% be down to see you cover more of the universe

[@Troubleshooter11]

In the intro you mentioned SR meaning Stealth Reconnaissance. While i'm not sure if it is specifically stated to be Stealth in the ME universe, in the real world the SR designation, such as the SR-71 Blackbird, means Strategic Reconnaissance. I always thought it was Stealth until i found out the real meaning a few years ago. Useless little bit of trivia but there ya go :) thanks for the vid, bud!

[@christophergroenewald5847]

The SSV Normandy SR-1's official full name is "Systems Alliance Space Vehicle Normandy Stealth Reconnaissance 1."

[@NekouLy]

Installation00 I hope you keep doing more videos like this one.😊

[@Ptaaruonn]

*Claps his hands* Ohh... this will rock so much!!!

[@TheMrSnarf]

Mass Effect is my favorite series of all time with the legend of Zelda coming in second place and Halo coming in third. Amazing that you are potentially branching out to my all-time favorite.

[@LeagueofArchery]

Lol I had an epic music playlist going on in the backround and didnt realize it, it fit really with with the video for first 3 mins or so and I was like "why does he have music playing?"

[@sacaro5k]

I feel like I just sat through a marketing presentation to buy a Normandy with the promise of Disney tickets just for showing up. Well done!

[@nitrothechamp]

I love mass effect and love that you covered this. Please do more!

[@williamharrison7708]

i like the breakdown on the ships. there interesting to hear more about.

[@Jarsia]

00 "Garrus, as you're no doubt aware, I'm putting together a documentary on the Normandy, and I figured who better to talk to about the tactical upgrades the ship has received since it was commissioned. If you have time that is." Garrus "............Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations."

[@MarcusWolfWanders]

Love you, 00. Don't know much if anything about mass effect or the other games you mentioned (Halo is my bread and butter) but totally look forward to learning about all these different gaming universes vicariously through you :D

[@brandonpeterman9964]

That iconic Mass Effect music in the background

[@ctaschereau90]

YES! Welcome to Mass Effect MDB!!!

[@jasonespinoza5105]

Love this one. Thanks for covering Normandy.

[@polyamorouspilot]

This video: Plays the Mass Effect music Me: Okay I'll play Mass Effect again

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

23:01 About Normandy's stealth systems: How does it hide the ship from RADAR or LADAR? Both are known to be widely used in the ME universe, and all that is given about its stealth (as far I know at least) is that it hides the thermal emissions.

[@Zenlore6499]

Hey hey! Nice! Awesome to see you doing branching out!

[@obsidianramirez9398]

Yes. I like this very much. Hell yes Installation.

[@selectthedead]

please don't tempt me to start another playthrough of the trilogy. 😅 Just love that series soo much.

[@ClericOfPholtus]

Gotta at least go all moralities, genders and each class for full playthroughs. Fun fact, letting the Council die by focusing on Sovereign is actually the most beneficial ME1 ending

[@SinfanyJewels]

Thanks for this one. I love Mass Effect even Andromeda. The Mass Effect games are special.😀

[@austinguthrie5528]

Love your Halo vids and breakdowns! And I absolutely love your back to multivese breakdowns again! The best merger in history I reckon 🤣 Keep up the great work! Without breaking yourself, of course. This is my favorite channel on the Citidal!

[@CaptainAhab117]

It would be interesting to see a breakdown comparing the military capabilities of the Systems Alliance and the UNSC.

[@pratham295]

Finally....... Breakdown was amazing ....."Shephard out...."

[@pticatori]

A surprise for sure, but a welcome one

[@RiposteBK]

Love to see you doing other franchises like this! Any chance you'd cover the Great Fox, from the Star Fox games?

[@groggywater2006]

I got the notification and came as fast as I could

[@vincenterodriguez2589]

Normandy will forever be eternal. Her death only reborn her immortal.

(Commander Shepard viciously dancing)

[@WorldEaterTaz]

I'm so happy with new Most Detailed Breakdowns from other game universes. (Hugs and Kisses)

[@Kaiber_Phoenix]

The SR2 is a heck of a ship design and what i never got was where was the normandy going when the mass relay exploded along with the reapers well depending on the ending.

[@willhornsby206]

Joker was trying to save his girlfriend from getting fired.

[@Kaiber_Phoenix]

@@willhornsby206 🤣 makes sense

[@ClericOfPholtus]

Looked like a singularity opened up within the FTL channel which pulled them in and sent them to who knows where in the galaxy or even in the universe.

[@NaldoNidoking]

Glad to see Mass Effect lore! My other favorite sci-fi franchise alongside Halo

[@toradora1439]

man i would love a break down like this on Reapers and Geth.

[@tristanbackup2536]

I want to understand how indoctrination works, is it nanotechnology? Some kind of ultra-signal frequency of sorts? Like really break it down to autistic levels to make the codex from the games look like a children's bedtime book.

[@ImKevBe]

What’s really funny is I’m playing through the mass effect games now currently on 3 now 👍

[@LTMaverick27894]

As a big mass effect fan, thank you Mr. 00!

[@wallygajewski7266]

Yes ME content! Waiting for citadel most detailed breakdown.

[@camerongooch9606]

Hell yeah baby mass effect is back let's goooooooo

[@Capt_Spork]

I have been wishing for this one!!! I can't wait to see more Mass Effect content!

[@chiefgreef357]

Just started playing mass effect legendary edition so this was well needed

[@maritimesteak8540]

I support lore breakdowns on all these cool series even tho I might not watch all of them if they don't keep my interest

[@massachusettsthemercenary4963]

Dude I love your mass effect videos ❤

[@Giddog40]

Oh yeah, this is the one I’ve been waiting for

[@jacobridgeway2849]

I just imagine Shepard's kids running around in the Normandy. (After she's been decommissioned of course) //My Shepard, Hitomi, romanced Liara and had three children. Aphrodite, Artemis, and Ashira. I do not regret commenting this

[@whyjnot420]

Correction: The Javelin is an experimental retcon developed in the aftermath of the animators not getting the memo about missiles.

[@Affirmbuttress]

I was with friends when I saw this video dropped, I looked up from my phone and told them “I should go”

[@tkxbetrayer2405]

I love how you've spread out into other games. Mass Effect is awesome. Don't get me wrong, Halo is my number 1, but I'm not complaining.

[@timchark.6495]

S is my favorite channel on the citadel

[@supergodzilla3]

What's the song from the beginning that you use? Also love all your breakdowns!!!

[@OptimisticSturmmann142]

My favorite Halo ship ever

[@stan8230]

Don't forget the video game vanquish. It was a pretty good game oh and time shift.

[@ethannader5207]

This was a really good breakdown. I perfer the second game layout compared to the third games . I’d like to see a break down of the tempest I though that was also a cool ship had a desert amount of wasted space tho

[@whaaaaaaap]

A breakdown of all the tech in both “Avatar” and “Avatar:the way of deez nuts!” Hah! Got’eeem But the tech breakdown would be great.

[@EaGilgamesh]

Great breakdown!

[@hopspusher3052]

Did anyone read the names on the Memorial Wall (31:45)? ☠ Literally EVERYONE died in that playthrough! Except maybe Jaavik 🤣🤣🤣

[@Duke_of_Petchington]

I thought this would go on your Lore Core/Universe core second channel

[@spartanq7781]

I will never understand what they were thinking when they killed off Shepard and blew up the Normandy. The first few minutes of Mass Effect 2 in one fell swoop completely destroyed the foundation of the original game and then told a do nothing story that left the third game with tons and tons of hangups to resolve and find a way to defeat the Reapers and conclude the trilogy. Someone at Bioware should have noticed all the future problems and course corrected. Cerberus building a new better Normandy in of itself is completely ludicrous and no one ever calls that out. Mass Effect 2 makes me really angry in case you somehow didn't catch that.

[@dougsmith6262]

This reminds me, I'm overdue for another ME playthrough.

[@whyjnot420]

This franchise really has had great hero ships. Even the Tempest from Andromeda was pretty nice, though not at the level of either Normandy.

[@Spartan_Jackal]

Mass Effect? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. ETA: 31:40 how does one fuck up THAT bad?!

[@FearTheCaboose1337]

I love seeing this kind of thing from your channel, but God the propulsion section feels like a theoretical physics lecture, lol

[@gono4806]

Personally I believe that the SR1 uses infrared lasers and the SR2 uses ultra violet guardian lasers as Cerberus seems to not care about maintenance. Also did I miss it or did you not talk about the size of the ship? I ask because I don't think we ever got a solid number for the SR1 or SR2, the in game model for the SR2 is 196 meters long according to the mass effect wiki while Wikipedia says that the SR1 was 170 meters long and that the SR2 had a length of 216 meters, width of 96, and a height of 26 meters, although only the SR1 size has a source. Also did you know that and I quote "Lasers are not blocked by the kinetic barriers of capital ships (bar the ones employed by the Reapers, whose barriers are capable of blocking them to an extent)"? I think that the implications that reaper kinetic barriers can stop DEWs to a certain extent is quite interesting and convinces me as I mentioned in my previous message that there is something stronger out there like the "pawns" the catalyst used and that it and it's creators also used non eezo based tech. Either that or we have not seen what the height of eezo based technology is capable of.

[@amateurcrastinator9523]

YES!! more of this please!!

[@SyntheticHuman01]

Beautiful ship.
