This time I was lucky enough to chose the name for this ship and write basically all of it's lore and backstory. I'm tremendously grateful to have had an opportunity like this and I hope you all enjoy the episode. I should point out for any wiki editors that the MCRN Morrigan mentioned in season 2 was the first ship of this class and therefore it's namesake.

Any plans to "remaster" the MCRN Corvette/Rocinante video? :) (Or just wait until the Roci gets modified someday?) ;) It's so awesome that you have been able to work closely with the creators of Expanse. Have any plans to meet up with them someday? The authors look like they would be fun to hang and geek out with. :)

No railgun at all? In a verse where PDC's are common and effective doesn't that result in the Morrigan class being a very under gunned opponent when facing other purpose built warships? I get that it is usually deployed in pairs but doesn't the MCRN's preference for quality over quantity mean that they should prefer railguns over torpedoes?

Given that Morrigan apparently translates roughly to "Queen of Phantoms", and that this is a fast-attack ship with some models outfitted for stealth, I'd say you picked a pretty good name.

Actually, i am not sure. I mean honestly - while you could create a sense of urgency through clever storytelling, no pirate has a real chance vs Yao and the Donnager...and for a scifi action show, you need either stronger, or at least somewhat comparable strenght of your adversaries. So there has to be more to it than just that.

While I generally prefer larger ships in franchises like Halo and Star Wars, the art team for The Expanse has done an incredible job with their ships. The MCRN has some of the coolest and most unique designs I've seen, and the Donnager Class is my favorite since it kinda looks like a Vostok rocket. I absolutely love this series on the ships of The Expanse.

Kris Handsome although i love the rediculus ships that star wars and warhammer have to offer, i find myself leaning more towards these smaller type ships, for one they are more realistic and they also pack alot of utility amd each vessel seems to have its own purpose, star wars gives its ships classes but their actual features often dont reflect those classes. And of course as you put it, they look nice too.

Yeah, Halo especially has a lot of favourite ship designs, but I love how "fitted out" Expanse vessels feel. Every inch is accounted for with torpedo bays, airlocks, PDC mounts, etc. It feels very functional and real as though a team of warship designers had spent serious time developing a craft.

I love the Corvette classes, primarily for the PDC armament, (but I heavily favor the PDC sfx used for the Donnager CQB battle). There is nothing more exciting than witnessing the power of rapid AA fire, so it is refreshing that this form of weapon is used to its fullest potential in the show.

People complaining in the comments seem to miss the fact that maybe one should focus on the "patrol" part of. "Patrol Destroyer". It's meant to be primarily an upgunned patrol vessel. The word "destroyer" is meant to denote the increased armament as opposed to the actual ship class.

Its ironic people are complaining because actual destroyers were originally quite small and were designed to hunt down torpedo boats, which was why they were called 'Torpedo Boat Destroyers'. Now the DD-1000 is the size of a WW2 battleship.

STOP COMPARING SPACECRAFTS TO NAVAL VESSELS. Space is *not* a fucking ocean, get that through your heads already. Stop using WW2 as the central fucking point of reference in whatever passes for historical knowledge in pop culture. We don't classify airplanes the same way we do boats; so we shouldn't do that with spacecrafts, vehicles designed for a different medium altogether.

it makes a even better idea that of Star Citizen in practice, One solar system with 3 factions, 2 "inners" and one based in space, With its planets be hand built like Star Citizen, a large Belt that makes for PVP, and making the System (the map) be based on Control of space, factions warring for power in their Faction-Only Ships, and pirate players and bounty hunters (that could even be sponsor by the factions) in the outskirts or even inside the faction control area making their rounds. Add an Eve style of Player Based Economy, and Player Built style ships so you can have modular ships like of Belters, and since is more brought down that of Star Citizen and/or Elite being based on just 1 solar system... Dude you got money in hands with that kind of idea

Hey Spacedock, love this episode. Now that it is canon, it's very cool that you got to add more to Captain Yao's lore with her decision to take two of these Morrigan Class Patrol Destroyers for every Corvette the Donnager carries. I've always felt that there were more stories to be told about Captain Yao, and this is a nice addition to that.

At 2:19, you can see a closeup of the PDC on the Donnager. In addition to the muzzle blasts, there is a jet of flame coming out of the back of the turret assembly. I wonder if this is a counter-thrust element (similar to firing a main engine to counter a rail-gun blast). Or could it be that the rounds are akin to recoilless rifles? Just something I had never noticed before.

@Spacedock First, I absolutely love your channel. It is innovative, incredibly detailed in your assessments and very entertaining!!! Occasionally your explanation of tactics or those inherent in a game, usually the latter, fall short. This not at all to disparage you in the least. The fact that you get right as many times as you do is AMAZING. I have been schooled in military Doctrine and Strategy for a long time, something game companies do not, I believe, have the benefit of having. Surprisingly, to my knowledge, only 2 movies, out of hundreds of games, television show or movies has ever addressed the simple Truth, they are fighting in space, X, Y, and Z axis AND there is NO up or down. Those movies are “Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan” and “Ender’s Game”. Our Solar System has a unique plane to our Sun, but this plain one is not the option as planets formed. It is simply the direction of meridian of swirling gasses and rock, that would become our Sun were spinning. Even Uranus, though it remains on the same plain, relatively speaking, is on it side, perpendicular to its orbit around the sun. Basically I’m saying very, very, very few mass released media get space warfare even close to right. It makes no tactical sense to come at an opponent on the same plane as their target. Our Air Force doesn’t, our attack submarines don’t and it is ridiculously stupid to do it in space, where you would expect most of your targets weapon emplacements placed to protect the plain that ship is flying.

Something confusing: In season 1 when the Roci is about to be boarded by a Morrigan class, Amos refers to it as a 2-man skiff, but apparently it's supposed to have a crew of 8? Maybe they just reused the model and hoped nobody would notice XD

8 might be full crew complement, but they might be able to operate with as few as 2 crew for low intensity mission.

3:57 i totaly diaagre with you. If the MCRN military doctrin have a minimiun of logic they would need to have small vessels in the batlefield every weapond have its value. Tryng to keep the logic and respecting thee frase " fewer better vesels" what i think that the MCRN actualy means is the best of it class, the best patrol boat, the best corvet, the best ship in every category.

Are their any indications about acceleration of capital ships in the books i know in the show and books the Corvet/Roci class can accelerate up to 16 g's I know prety much any MCRN capital ship can get up to over one g of acceleration.

Great video as always! This reminds me of something I've been thinking about a lot. What's the advantage to having internal docking space for smaller warships inside larger ones? Obviously hangars for shuttles, fighters, etc are valuable but why corvettes or destroyers? It seems to me you'd be better off eschewing those docks and using that space for something useful or removing them to save on mass and size. If you need to transport smaller vessels to save fuel or whatever you could attach them to the exterior instead since you'd likely immediately launch them in combat anyway. Is there a good reason a lot of large Sci fi ships seem to have this feature?

MrDrProf you are less likely to lose your small agile ships to surprise enemy fire, also the deployment time is significantly increased since walking inside the hangar is easier than going out into space. You also have the benefit of not showing the enemy which kind of ship will be deployed, making your tactics more difficult to predict... That said, I suppose there is also many advantages to having the ship be outside, those being that not only is it way cheaper, you also dont waste space on a hangar, which can give you more firepower, or ease your logistics by storing supplies.

@mrdrprof8402 6 жыл бұрын
gabriel ferraz ah that's a good point. I was thinking that it wouldn't generally matter because you're likely to launch the small ships early on but being caught off guard and having them could be useful
@TytonidaeIndustries
@TytonidaeIndustries 5 жыл бұрын
i would say, in some cases, engine power and fuel consumption would be part of it, effectively letting smaller, slower, short range ships benefit from the larger, more powerful, faster, and longer ranged drive systems of the larger ships, while still hiding the numbers of the fleet as far as the internal docking bay, they would need massive docking clamps and what not regardless, so you may as well protect the relatively sensative docking equipment and the smaller ships behind the larger ships armor
