Stargate: F-302 (& X-301) | Extended Breakdown

[@Spacedock]

This your standard reminder that the canon dimensions of Stargate ships were published by an ancillary magazine and make pretty much no sense at all, they are however entirely canon, so as a matter of policy that's what we publish on Spacedock. - Dan

[@jeremysheiner]

Might be worth publishing an analysis video mentioning the discrepancy between the published numbers versus the CGI "real" numbers.

Oh surely it can't be that ba...WTF 55 meter wingspan on the F301?

@@SoulAssassino Yep, almost as big as a standard B-52 (56m). No sense at all ahah.

Did the F302 variant carry the same Hyperspace drive as it’s X302 prototype? I can’t recall ever seeing it used in the production model.

[@LtCWest]

@@mattwho81 At least some did, the F-302 that O'Neill and Carter used to underfly Anubis' Motherships shields was the main production model. It was the prototype X-302 that was destroyed with the gate. ^^

My favorite thing about these is that you could see the development curve, and can believe the reverse engineering employed. It fits into the story well.

that sort of thing was definitely one of Stargate's strengths

Daniel has mentioned that before in previous videos. You can look at pretty much any bit of technology and say, "I remember the episode where they found the thing that stuff is made out of." That remains one of the coolest things about the series.

[@LM-xw7ii]

I loved that scene, and for the same reasons.

[@fallen_angelmemesforlife9172]

Absolute top 10 scene. In my opinion, the Antarctica battle is THE defacto point signifying the Tauri weren't some mildly notable mosquito trying to push itself into the galaxy's grown-up business. That battle showed that they are a bonafide superpower capable of dealing and taking shit from the other spacefaring races.

[@DarkTraveler09]

You know, after all this time...Stargate is still one of my favorite shows. The characters, the setting, and most importantly...the technology that they displayed. I remember when they showed the F-302 in it's first engagement...I was kind of blown away. Mostly because SG-1 always relied on ground infiltrations and such methods. To see them going head to head with the Goa'uld with their own vehicles just put a smile on my face.

[@btyc]

The best thing about the SG1 series was watching the teams acquire, adapt and incorporate alien tech they retrieved over the course of the series into Earth’s defenses. Made me really feel like the SGC earned their victories. Wish more sci-fi shows were like that

[@keith6706]

The other nice thing was that they showed the Earth-based forces _thought_ about what they were gaining access to and didn't simply switch to the shiny new toys. The prime example was firearms. They had access to all sorts of energy weapons but the majority they encountered didn't provide much of an advantage over the normal ballistic firearms they used, and often were tactically worse, and so they felt no need to switch.

[@anonymouspenguin9876]

@@ancaplanaoriginal5303 Unfortunately a lot of the orginal trilogy space ships were just designed in a way that everything could be done with lower budgets, so the starfighters are the majority of the fighting force allowing them to make much smaller models and save on special effects (especially the first movie). Combined with George Lucas wanting space combat to resemble dog fights from WW2 what we get is a starfighter heavy universe, the capital ships in the prequel era and in the expanded original trilogy era (Rebels Tv show) all introduce new designs that instead focus on everyone having carriers as a larger presence in their fleets. Both the Republic and Separatist almost entirely compose their fleets of carriers and the Imperials now rely more on the Quazar class cariers and Gozanti Frigates to carry and deploy tie squadrons, much more believable than the empire just throwing star destroyers everywhere XD

Did you see the episode where Martin Lloyd, a human looking alien who lost his memory of being alien, creates a tv show called “Wormhole Extreme”; which parallels the reality of the Star Gate Program in the show? At one point, Carter asks why the Air Force didn’t shut down the tv show; given that it depicts a top secret program, and one of the other characters answers that it provides plausible deniability for the Star Gate Program; if anything about the Star Gate gets out, it can be deflected as being from the tv show.

It probably had physical reasons for it, the overpressure created on the intrados may have helped to keep the plasma away from the frame during hard reentrys, cheaper than a TPS and it has been theorized by NASA.

I don't know which gives me more tingles, the F-302 or Wing Commander's F-103 (better known as the Excalibur).

[@SeanSkollChapman]

Supreme Commander soundtrack was a nice touch

[@Coco111s2]

god i miss this show.

[@junker-f3m]

my favourite time about progression is how there's a clear technological SG-1 over thing

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@Firefox13A]

I miss this show... Another marathon may be in order.

My parter ad I have been rewatching this show from the start the past few months and I gotta say, I really did not appreciate as a kid the kind of thought the writers were putting into this show's arc in an era still almost universally doing episodic TV. Not only is there this really great, paced progression of humanity's role and technology over the course of it, they straight up allude to things way in advance of unveiling them onscreen. There's stuff about the X301-304 dropped in dialogue and even on screen upwards of a season and a half in advance of their actual introduction. They also did a lot of that narratively too, eg, the Replicators or even that slow, creeping introduction of McKay (who is borderline insufferable earlier on, holy crap) Anyway, blah blah blah Stargate is wildly underrated as a show and an excellent video as usual, Spacedock!

awesome ship!! and some really cool space battles with its bigger brothers the 304 later in atlantis.

[@ShagShaggio]

Great video. Love the 302! Cheers!

[@jasonraber3770]

Loved the X-302 and Deadulus class starships

[@PathsUnwritten]

I think the hyperdrive was only on the X-302. They never mention or use it in any future appearances in the F-302.

[@c1ph3rpunk]

The 302 deserved a side show about a squadron of 302 pilots, “Ga’ould Sheep Squadron”.

[@PolarBear_Gaming_More]

Thank you Spacedock

[@Nicitel94]

I've dreamt of flying one of those back in the day.

[@MediaevalJames]

With that Supreme Commander music in the background, almost wonder if you'd cover something from that universe.

[@dalea1691]

We need another SG1 style of the series.
