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.

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?

Actually, i am not sure.

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.
@silverblade416 жыл бұрын
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.

@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.

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?
@gabriel3000106 жыл бұрын
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.

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

Hey Spacedock, I'm working on a fan fiction ship design for the Expanse based upon the Morrigan class, and since you wrote the official canon specs for that little bugger (kudos for that you lucky guy ^^) I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. My question is: what size would you consider appropriate for the original design's crew quarters? You state that they're considered "small", but what habitable volume would that correspond to in your opinion? As a reference, international real-life standards for the habitable volume inside a spacecraft (ISS, Space Shuttle Orbiter, Sojuz, Dragon, Dream Chaser, CST-100 ...) is a minimum of 20 m³ for optimum performance in low/zero gravity for the average human being for extended periods of time (4 weeks and more), 14 m³ for minimum performance, and 6 m³ for minimum tolerance. The design I made is about 10 m longer to accomodate slightly bigger crew quarters and more storage to improve long-time missions, as well as a massive upgrage in its tactical systems and additional communication arrays. Any feedback in that regard would be highly apprechiated. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

Maybe I'm ignorant, but ought not the hull of a stealth craft be absorbing (or deflecting) radar, not reflecting radar..?

Are you ever going to do a video on the Behemoth?

I just realized that we were robbed of an epic show of power when the Amun-Ra ships attacked. I now wonder why the Donnager didn't launch her escorts when the unknown vessels crossed in too close.
