[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

Older vessels: "we can't get hacked if we don't have any advanced technology!" What a beautiful ship though. For anyone wondering, the music used was the 'Colonial Theme' (personally, I think it should be called 'pride of the colonies' but whatever).

[@Cailus3542]

For context: the Janus is three times longer than a real life Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Given this ship’s fearsome armament, that’s a terrifying thought.

[@eligedzelman5127]

Cailus Griffin p-lease, the autumn class heavy cruiser is far larger.

[@briansouthparkstudio1357]

it's Halcyon class the Marathon class replace it but was thrown away as it just wasn't durable enough and the upgraded Halcyon class surpassed them in every way. but they where around the same size as both where around 1 km long (the Halcyon is 1.2 km ) the later Autumn class ( 1.4 km) was based on the Halcyon upgrades which where still smaller then most of the large Battlestars

[@GoldenSkies061]

UNSC cruisers started with the Halcyon class, which was old, but insanely durable. Next came the Marathon class, which served for a while, but was discontinued after reverse-engineered covenant and forerunner tech rendered it obsolete. The autumn class is the most recent, based off of the pillar of autumn refit, but with a few upgrades of its own, such as shields, enhanced sensors and comms arrays, and more powerful reactors. Long story short, any of these 3 would destroy the Janus in a 1v1.

[@henrycooper3431]

[@Rumblestrip]

One of my favorite Battlestar support ships. I've dropped rangers out of my fleets in favor of this ship often.

[@taudvore259]

Although they are very similar, I feel the Ranger and the Janus are quite different tactically. Like he said in the video a Janus is meant to park in one place and slug it out, whereas a Ranger is (in my mind at least) closer to a skirmish torpedo boat. Janus work well with slow, bulky Jupiters, but Rangers pair better with faster ships like an Artemis or Minerva. My 2p.

[@yourfriend8052]

The Janus is great if you play it right, the long reload time is the worst part.

[@richardched6085]

I'm assuming that this ship is even older than the Artemis. Yet somehow it looks "Newer" I always had the impression that the Artemis was the oldest Available Battlestar in the Fleet. This Janus class does somewhat resemble the Ranger class from the Fan-Site that introduced the Defender class Battlestar.

[@paparagnarok4224]

You know, it'd be very interesting to see a series based around the unification war and/or the first Cylon war... #NetflixPlease

[@Washuluver87]

Every time you say First Cylon War you make me think of a Mod for Star Wars: Empire At War: Forces of Corruption. The mod is called "Battlestar Galactica: War of the Colonies". The mod's creators made up a storyline of what if Caprica Six had defected to the Colonies before the Attack that is seen in the Miniseries, and warns them and even helps them defend against the Comprimised CNP program, thus forcing a traditional war.

Someone said this in the comments on another video: The ultimate "have nukes, will travel" escorts for the Daidalos shipyard. Can carry 3 nukes, and since it is in the fleet for Daidalos, zero replenishment cost. Since I typically have two cruisers in a fleet, that's six nukes right there - which cost nothing to restock afterwards. That is a *stupid* amount of firepower - and I love it. Don't screw with our shipyard/command center.

[@blazerocker1734]

Outro music is Skirmish 3

[@richardched6085]

The Jupiter Battlestar really was a step "Backward" and was clearly intended to be a Hybrid of the Artemis and the Janus. The Artemis is more "Advanced" Than the Jupiter in terms of Technology (But the Artemis is generally weaker and has inferior Armament. And any technological advantage was lost when Networked technology was abandoned making the Jupiter ultimately superior) The Mercury class would bring back several elements of the Artemis design not only in structure but in its computer technology as well.

[@Kestrel-ws3cg]

I bet a group of these bad boys and a few minotuars and maybe a few rangers and a Battlestar can do alot of damage

[@firestorm165]

My favorite fleet composition includes 2 of these, a battlestar, 2 minotaurs, and 2 adamants. And yes I can confirm cylons don't last too long against them

Theres something older and more stoic to her. In the age of battlestars, of valient and dareing pilots and Courageous Carrier groups. There, in the background, skulking in the flanks, is the Janus, ready to remind the Toasters why Humans are better at void combat... Because the Janus? Shes a 3 mile long, nuclear armed ballistic sledehammer.

Kirk Jacobson Wow thank you man, that link answered a lot of questions I had rattling around in my head since I saw BSG that Caperica just didn’t answer due to its burn off cancelation. Considering they come up with video games from time to time for BSG, I wonder if they will ever make another show, another prequel that isn’t like Caperica would be nice, maybe “Kobol”.

[@coreydonaldson3303]

+Broken Eyes A series about Kobol would be pretty interesting and awesome !

[@brokeneyes6615]

What led to the division between the 12 and 13th tribe? These are answers we need to know! Just without thr a sty teenage mellow drama that was Caperica...

[@KenobiSon]

[@admiraltee]

How does this vessel compare to a Minotaur? Is there a site that shows the comparative values of all these vessels?

[@Jeff-tw7jk]

A bit late but.. Just open two tabs or remember

[@babylon218]

Even later, but... The Minotaur is an absolute beast with how many guns it's got, but can be something of a glass cannon if unsupported. The Janus is more dependent on its missiles (which is a good thing, because it's about as fast as continental drift) but will tank just about anything. If you can get the Janus into gun range, it's pretty dangerous. Unfortunately, that's the Janus' biggest drawback: as well as being outpaced by a particularly ambitious tortoise, her fire control is pretty short-ranged. But, given the Janus costs about the same in fleet points as a Ranger or Minotaur, you could definitely do worse than putting one or two in a battlestar group. I tend to keep them with my Artemis', load one munition slot with PCMs, and just go toe-to-toe with any Cylon ships that get close. Against a full missile barrage, half-dozen heavy turrets, and a Battlestar's main battery, Cylons do not last long.

[@Ueberdoziz]

I love these. Stick 6 of them to deidalus and have 18 nukes which you get for free. Use those 2 Viper squadrons from deidalus to get IFF Marks and then nuke them from orbit. 😈

[@ApsalusSigma]

The Janus looking almost like the Donager-class makes me want to see a Versus between said Donager-class and a Battlestar.

[@wickiei4556]

Na, I think it is a bit unfair. The Janus is twice as long, has more armor and more weapons. Also it has artifical gravity. But it would be fun to see

[@danielhaire6677]

May not have been as quick or maneuverable as the Ranger, but I used it extensively in the final missions of Deadlock. 1 Jupiter, 2 Minervas, and 2 Janus backed up by Daedalus. Equip all of the Janus's missile slots with Nukes and destroy capital ships quickly after using the Jupiter's Raptor as a recon platform. Would assign the Daedalos fighter wings as defensive escorts. In the final mission, my Janus' annihilated the majority of Cylon base ships allowing for my Battlestars to move into gun range and annihilate Avalon.

[@sundoga4961]

I don't have Deadlock, so perhaps this is a mistake on their part, but it's not "Yanus". It's clearly based on the two-faced god of doorways, beginnings and endings in the Greek pantheon, and in english at least, his name is pronounced "Janus", hard J.

[@Kwg420]

Have you ever considered any of the ships that have appeared in the Transformers franchise? I'm sure there's not quite as much to go on since the series doesn't focus on the ships, but are there any that have caught your eye at least? Also, great video as usual. I never fully watched the BG series but this was still pretty cool to know.

[@AzureanSky]

It really looks like a Halo Thanatos class destroyer

[@TruePacifist201]

Don't you mean Halberd-class? I'm pretty sure the Thanatos-class only exists in fanfiction, a link would be appreciated.

[@Demolitiondude]

The top down looks better than the side view.

[@builder396]

Its kind of weird, but the Janus actually has a kind of anemic gun complement compared to most ships. Its one optimal angle where all guns can fire is to the lower front, there its 2 heavy guns and 3 medium guns. For reference, a Berzerker gets 5 medium guns on each broadside while being much lighter and smaller, and almost a pure carrier. The Ranger for example, the other "missile boat" is also much smaller and lighter, even gets better missile slots (2 instead of 3, but they reload faster so overall DPS is higher), yet its almost covered in guns. 2 heavy turrets on the front, then 4 mediums each side and two more mediums on the underside. And dont get me started on actual gunships or Battlestars. Janus is really just a durable as fuck brick with lots of missiles.

[@scelonferdi]

Still wish they had used more pre-existing (Blood and Chrome) Ships for this game.

[@shadowlord3813]

Blood and Chrome is about 3 to 5 years after this game so odds are the classes are not built yet or design.

I highly doubt that the WHOLE (except Jupiters) lineup of ships changed. Just put 1 or 2 Blood and Chrome designs in there and it looks more consistend.

[@firestorm165]

@@scelonferdi Way I see it is that Blood and Chrome was an in universe movie set during the first cylon war and because they didn't have many first cylon war ships in working order they just used modern ships as stand ins hoping no one would notice (Our own hollywood did a lot of this in the 70's and 80's when making war movies)

[@thosewhocando]

I like the vid. Unfortunate, now that I've use the ship in the game, I don't like it much at all. My main tactic while playing BSG Deadlock is to form a wall of battle. Namely stacking ships vertically and horizontally. This takes advantage of battlestar's ability to defend them selves (and ships behind them) from incoming ordinance and pump out staggering amounts of fire. While other ships support 'ships of the wall' with missile barrages, additional fighters, etc. The Janus, can't do this. The ordinance is fine, but it has a slower firing rate compared to the Ranger CG. Also the Janus is slow, with limited firing arcs. Now the video did give me the idea of using the Janus as a mine layer, which I think I'll try (dropping a wall of EMP or proximity mines along the Cylon line of advance). But you might be able to do that with supporting Adamants. Mines are an interesting add on to the game that I have used in the early game. Not so much later as the flight deck space is available to have a Raptor flight buzzing around disarming them.

[@hckyplyr9285]

I hate it when sci fi shows/games/books call ships heavy cruisers. There is really no such thing. "Heavy cruisers" were a figment of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, which imposed limits on ship tonnage in the fleets of signatory navies. The Royal Navy needed a whole bunch of commerce protection cruisers for their empire while the US and Japan wanted fewer but more heavily armed cruisers. Britain did not want their fleet made obsolete by these larger and better armed potential adversaries. To settle the issue, a distinction was made between the 8" gun armed cruisers and 6" and smaller gunned types. Thus "heavy" and "light," The whole thing really only played out in the interwar period and the categories really ceased to have any meaning. Thus it is silly for sci-fi franchises to draw on this outmoded term. Guess it sounds cool.
