As i'm sure comments to this effect are already flooding in: no the "Thousands of megatons" figure doesn't make sense. Though I guess it could be rationalised as some kind of crazy high-yield setting for certain planetary bombardments. The real answer is that Stargate's technical info was published by a magazine and is almost always wrong, especially the Tau'ri ship dimensions. The info is canon however, and we always publish the canon figures on Spacedock, even if they make no sense.

@Chris George actually the Empire only ever collapsed because of the Replicators which killed most of their fleet (tens of thousands of Ha'tak Motherships) and leaders.

In the beginning they were pretty strong but their shields could be pierced by Ion weaponry designed by the Asgard and Tolan (who were bowth far more advanced). They became less of a threat over time because the Tau'ri got Asgard technology (and improvements to their Asgard based shields ) at multiple stages in Stargate. The "unexplained" upgrade is actually explained pretty well. Anubis is a near ascended being he simply has a greater understanding of the universe. After that they actually stay a big threat to all ships that Aren't the Asgard O'Neill class or Equipped with Ancient Drone weaponry (well and the Ori Mouthership but that can swat away all others on the list without taking Damage) until the Tau'ri get the OP upgrades in unending.

Well the Goa'uld never actually bouilt warships (With the exception of Sokar and the Battleship Apophis designed ) but palaces that doubled as troop transporters and well armed invasion platforms. They are the epitome of actually justifed arrogance because of their numbers and technology advancements. Without the Replicators their empire would have never fallen.

[@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547]

@IJN Yamato I get the feeling you didn't read anything but the first part of my first sentences. Ha'taks aren't Warships they are decently armed invasion platform palaces.

[@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547]

@IJN Yamato the point is they are not purpose bouilt Warships...

[@MrAranton]

@IJN Yamato Tactics from earth can only be applied to the world of Stargate to a certain degree. No ship of any kind can move troops as effectively as the stargate network. Mainly because ships take much more time to travel from one planet to the next. Because of that an invasion platform doesn't need to bring in enough troops to clear out all enemy resistance and occupy a planet, all they need is a strike force capable of securing the stargate as a means to bring further reinforcements that will then finish the job. Trying to establish a beachhead that doesn't contain the planet's stargate would be pointless because reinforcements coming through will always crush whatever invasion force can be brought in by ship. So: a planetary invasion is effectively decided once it's clear which side will own the stargate once the battle is over. Now: Keeping the human population in line takes a lot fewer forces than wrestling a planet from the control of another Goa'uld. And since SG-1 gives the vibe that the Goa'uld do not have the ressources to defend all the planets they own against invasion (if they did, SG-teams would run well defended positions whenever they open a wormhole to a goa'uld occupied planet), there are no front-lines on the galactic scales, each Goa'uld world is it's own (more or less) isolated beachhead with the stargate as its only supply line. The Ha'tak's role in this sort of warfare is to provide a way of maneuvering that doesn't involve the stargate-network. I got the impression that - at least for about the first half of Stargate SG-1 no Goa'uld has enough interstellar ships to defend every planet he/she has a presence on. They can't defend everything and (given the speed of a Ha'tak) in order to have a defensive fleet above a planet they'd have to know about an attack months before it happens. So I don't think space battles were not that common when the Ha'tak was designed and the mightiest warship of the Goa'uld. To me it looks more like a carrier/transport/fighting-vessel hybrid than a vessel dedicated to fight other starships.

[@MrAranton]

@@khadenallast4495 It seems you're overlooking something: Warfare among the Goa'uld. The main opposition a hatak and the jaffa on board would face are not the comparatively primitive humans on goa'uld owned planets but the jaffa of other goa'uld. Those primitive worlds that cannot support dedicated warriors and don't have technology to rival the goa'uld would be conquered through the stargate, not by sending a Ha'tak.

[@dragonstormx]

The Ha'tak was a frightening symbol of the Goa'uld's power when we were first introduced to them. Due to the nature of the show focusing on travel through the Stargate's we did NOT expect to see any ships this fast. The entire conflict with the Goa'uld was changed since now there was a very real threat of them destroying humanity with these ships that could obliterate cities in the blink of an eye that were impervious to 20th century weapons. They weren't the most powerful ships out there, we saw the Asgard Bilskimir ships out classed them, but Earth couldn't count on them coming to our rescue all the time.

[@Cailus3542]

As spaceship designs go, the Ha'tak really should be more iconic it is. It's unique in so many ways, and also a perfect symbol of Goa'uld psychology and culture. It's ostentatious, enormous and clearly built for show, not purpose. It has no defined bow or stern, a rather rare aspect of sci-fi ships, but it doesn't have the uniformity or simplicity of flying saucers or a Borg cube. Such a design is inherently inefficient in combat, however. Tau'ri and Asgard warships are explicitly designed for combat, focusing as much firepower forward as possible and improving maneuverability, but the Goa'uld design disperses firepower and shield strength while still having serious weak points. Of course, the Goa'uld don't care about that. They're scavengers, not innovators like the Tau'ri and Asgard, so they rarely develop new technology or designs. As a result, the Ha'tak is a rather poor warship, which resulted in the relatively primitive Prometheus being capable of taking them on effectively. Still, it's a wonderful design. Whoever came up with this one did a great job.

[@specialnewb9821]

Who are they fighting except each other? They are not going to fight the Asgard, the human populations are slaves they seeded, the Nox are chilling. They don't need a ship focused for war. Its a great design, agreed.

[@specialnewb9821]

@IJN Yamato And all that is after the series starts.

[@Hectonkhyres]

They are probably best considered mobile star forts and staging grounds. They aren't built so kill ships, though in a pinch they can, so much as just allowing power projection. The Goa'uld didn't have many peers that needed concentrated firepower.

[@nihilityjoey]

I'd like to understand how you've come to the conclusion they weren't built for war or battle? They have 360 degree fire power that would smoke a Borg cube fairly easily, a hefty compliment of fighters and support craft. Their shields are more than adequate, with only a few races able to beat them. But off track. Why is this ship not designed for battle.

[@davidlewis5312]

@@nihilityjoey I would disagree with smoking a borg cube (they can't vary their frequency and replicators were able to easily absorb their energy). The only weapon I think that could reliably heavily damage a Borg cube is probably the primary guns of a Mercury class battlestar; you can't adapt to a solid slug the size of your car being hurled at you at subliminal velocities.

I loved Stargate for its progression. How capturing a single Ha'tak was a Major asset but as the series progressed Ha'tak became less and less important until the upgrades. Two Ha'tak were a major threat to Earth but later in the series entire fleets were repelled. Despite the upgrades O'neill was right "This is a weapon of intimidation and This is weapon of war" Despite speaking about staff weapons and P90 i think it encompasses the entire Goa'uld doctrine.

[@1nt3rD1ct0r]

The Republic was 25,000 years old. The fact that a ship design would be useful for almost that long can be taken in several different ways. Yes, one could say that surely it was just that powerful and that it was simply built superbly. Or, one could postulate that there simply wasn't any competition and there just wasn't any new enemies to fight, no threat to adapt to. Or, in line with the second thought, the Goa'uld could simply be technologically stagnant, and simply unable to produce a better design for the same tonnage. All of these are possible, and many more reasons too, so I do not think it would be prudent to assume anything in comparison to other Sci-Fi universes. After all, complacency and lack of natural competition breeds weakness and a lack of adaptability. By comparison, the Republic has had near-constant wars for almost its entire existence. Be it against the Sith, itself, or even the Hutts. That kind of environment is the perfect one to create strong technological leaps and adaptable fighting forces. The Republic, by comparison, likely has a much better concept of Asymmetrical warfare, and that will carry over into ship design.

Thanks, I needed that

[@joshuaperrine2019]

Thank you for more Stargate!

[@Zamun]

Thanks for the content

[@lindseycampbell3023]

I'm so happy stargate hasn't been forgotten!

[@travisellison7098]

Just want to let you know how much I love this channel doing Stargate ships.

[@Knorhold]

You shold absolutly look into "space above and beyond"! It' s a mostly forgotten Sci-Fi Series from the 1990s, but it has some truly awesome Spacecraft! PS: It has a US-Military in Space / Near Futur design - so less like Star Trek and more like Halo

[@artembentsionov]

Maybe Chiggy von Richthofen’s custom fighter

[@sa80slayer85]

Love stargate love this youtube series!! Keep it up

[@Nora-mg7cc]

I loved this so much Goa'uld.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you

[@DarthHao]

It always surprises me that given it’s size and role as a capital ship, it often seems unexpectedly maneuverable, at least visually speaking.

[@Carl_Aznable]

Indeed, a formidable craft.

[@AnonymousAnonposter]

Oh finally another Stargate video! Any possibility for making more videos about Stargate and Farscape?

[@masterchief2911]

It has large staff weapons. Cloaking device for hatak was developed by Sokar. But after all nice video. Leaving like :D

[@xxxCrackerJack501xxx]

The RDM Battlestar series Cylon Basestars always reminded me of these

[@paullopez6620]

Did you ever do a sid by side caparison between a death-glider and the 302?

[@badwolf66]

The Ha'tak is like the T-34 or T-55 of Goa'uld ships.

[@artembentsionov]

Mass-produced and used to turn the tide of a war?

[@artembentsionov]

O’Neill: “Shotgun!” Grif: “Shotgun! Fuck!”

[@Snicker433]

Now you need to do a video on the, Shuttle, for it is a formidable craft!

[@ErenisRanitos]

YEEEES!!!!! never clicked so fast on a video in my life!

[@MOLE60]

one ship featured in a forgotten series from the late 80's is THE ANGELON from Something is Out there . it would be interesting to see a breakdown on that .

[@seanheath4492]

Would love to see you guys do something on the Invictus-class superdreadnought or any other warship from Honor Harrington.

[@johnmiller4859]

You just can't do enough Stargate. Thank you.

[@phalanx3803]

first YT recommends a load of stargate stuff to me then spacedock make a video on stargate. it must be a sign that i haven't binge watched all of stargate in a long time (6 months) well i guess its time to watch all of stargate all over again. also SGU season 3 it needs to happen we where able to save The Expanse so lets bring back SGU.

[@goldenwolfprogramming6904]

PLEASE MORE SOJOURN CONTENT. PLEASE.

[@noirangel6416]

Pretty please do Talyn from Farscape.

[@autumnson]

Great video ! Could you make one on M-Bot from the Skyward / Starsight book series by Brandon Sanderson ?

[@leidlelee3378]

I saw that split second grey alien!

[@stangundam01]

great vid spacedock, can the next vid you do be the romulan kerchan class?

[@jhmcd2]

Nice to see another Stargate ship on here. Still one of my favorite scifi series. As for the weapons yields, I am not sure how powerful the ships weapons were, but we do know that they could level a city the size of New York in just a few shots (the dialogue if I recall gives the impression of a single shot)....but that was also in an alternate timeline episode too. We never see them output that much firepower again.

[@nerowulfee9210]

[in Red vs Blue voice] Shotgun!

[@mclatchyt]

[In Simmons Voice] Shotgun-FUCK!

[@artembentsionov]

Shotgun’s lap?

[@nerowulfee9210]

@@artembentsionov Fuck!

[@ThatVia]

UGH YES MORE STARGATE

[@Serhiy_Fomenko.]

YES!!!!

[@Great_America]

The Ha’tak is the intergalactic version of the B-52 bomber 😂

[@MrLupis26]

I would like to see one done for the Dalek mothership or the Dalek fighter pod please.

[@thomascousineau5814]

Dan...review some ship's from the Wing Commander universe

[@alexmurray8925]

Would you ever consider doing a breakdown video for the GDI Mammoth Mk. II battle walker from the Command and Conquer series? I'd love to see your take on such a death-dealing war machine.

[@obsidian179]

Funny thing: we never see a three-sided landing pyramid. Not when Heru’ur was building landing platforms on Cimmeria, not even when SG-1 actually *landed* the Ha’tak of the recently killed Cronus *on* *a* *pyramid* . (I guess the SFX people were just hoping we wouldn’t notice.) Why even make them tetrahedral? I mean, what did the showrunners even *get* out of that change?

[@republiccommando6104]

Do the Orion-class Pocket Battlestar!

[@cantis]

Would love to have to look at the Honor Harrington universe by David Weber there are published ‘janes’ style books as well as very active reader community. Wonderful ships with a great deal of background.

[@brianterrill9587]

Ok I've got a Stump the Chump for ya. The HMS Endeavour which was Captained by Commander Arcturus Rann during his 1,000 year voyage through the Microverse.

[@Lygron.]

I'd love to see one of these on a peacekeeper command Carrier from farscape

[@FreeThePorgs]

@Spacedock kree!!!!

[@csabaszep8162]

The DoW2 soundtrack is strangely a perfect fit for this ship's breakdown video.

[@grayscribe1342]

Please make a video about the Cygnus from 'The Black Hole'.

[@leewilcox1500]

Love the Dawn of War II music

[@theguardingdark1183]

Still waiting for you to do one on the greatest space ship ever concieved. Terry Prachett's Disk World. The Great Atuin deserves his/her vid!

[@luska5522]

Indeed.

[@KEVMAN7987]

"Col. O'Neill, please report to the pel'tak."

[@kirkrjb]

Enjoy your channel. I would like if you could do a space dock on the ship from Blake's seven.

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

There a chance we can get some Necron ships in the future? Would love to see a Cairn-class covered.

[@manuelsebastian1360]

from witch ep did you get the amazing spacebattle at 1:10?

[@LeakyGilmanator]

Please do the Outlaw Star from the anime of the same name. It's my all time favorite ship design.

[@SteveAngelis]

If anyone wants to fight with or against a fleet of these, get the SGI mod for Sins of a Solar Empire. AWESOME mod for the game!

[@barbiquearea]

The Ha'tak design reminds me of the Atlantis city ship. It makes me wonder if the Goa'uld could have been inspired by the shape of the Ancient's city ships when they made the Ha'tak?

[@LCE1313]

Tell us a little about the Wambundu class, please.

[@stephenbond1990]

Can you do the adamant frigate or arachne cruiser from battlestar galactica deadlock please?

[@ectogambit]

Can I suggest the Cobra Mk3 next. You could do a crossover with The Yamiks or ObsidianAnt and crossovers are cool. You know like The Flash and Supergirl. Smells like AWSOME.

[@Horesmi]

There are a few variants. There is the early, or "round" Ha'tak, defined by it's round outer frame. It was used by Apophis to invade Earth. It seems to be an earlier, inferior model, and is not used in later seasons. Then there is the normal, six-edged Ha'tak, that you see most often. And then there is the Anubis Ha'tak, equipped with powerful Ancient hyperdrive, shields and weapons, and capable of engaging Asgard ships head on. While it looks almost identical on the outside, it has a completely different interior, characterised by well-lit, gold and blue corridors. One of these was taken over by Thor AI and crashlanded in Earth's ocean. We can expect such ships to be much treasured and feared by the existing powers of the Milky Way.
