Frigates of the UNSC || Halo Ship Breakdowns 

Thanks

Heyo! I think if you place the timestamps inside the description it actually implements them into the video runtime, cant remember if it requires studio stuff or not but thought it might help :)

This is just my theory; that Dr. Catherine Halsey's Abstract fractal may have been her attempt at creating the human equivalent of the Domain.

also can you do a much deeper dive in the Paris class frigate

@@jamesfulton215 That's actually a very good idea and probably pretty close to whatever it was Halsey was doing. As for the Paris I think I hit on pretty much everything I'd have to say, although my breakdowns have gotten a little more detailed since that one. Maybe eventually I'll come back around to these.

Another RvB fan I see

NGL it would have been cooler for the Invention to have been a heavily upgraded Charon class, since Freelancer of all projects would defo have the resources for it.

@@cookiecraze1310 FR the director had the funds. You could see that with him literally owning The Mother of Invention. Maybe RT just didnt wanna deal haha

No you're thinking of the "Staff of Charon" totally different ship.

its gotta be a puma

It didn't get demonetized! I've thought about doing video compilations before, but I wasn't sure if anyone would like them. Thanks for the suggestion, I plan on doing the same for the Destroyers, Cruisers, Carriers, and Corvettes.

Get the modd team from empire at war at have them make it

Itd have to be set in the 343 era (bleugh) or be incredibly uncannon else itd be insanly unbalanced.

Give me a more in-depth version of E.A.W's Subsystem and Hardpoint style combat, with Fighterbays/Hangars ect, but on the scale of S.O.A.S.A. or Homeworld, with customised loadouts for ships.

@@jaegergames7042 That feels like a great setup for a single-ship space RPG type game, with the protag being a single, upgradable ship and it's crew. You could choose from a Paris, Charon or Halberd with the Halberd focused on space combat, the Charon on Ground support and the Paris balanced between. As an extra balance, you could have the upgrades cost more for the Halberd, as it is physically larger. A phoenix class could serve as the Story and upgrade "hub" with a Halcyon making appearances for the opening and final battles. Crew and complements would function as being a percentage based system (start with 1k marines and could upgrade to 900 w. 100 ODST and so forth), with the "second-tier" units requiring more "points" to purchase. Ship upgrades would be a straight upgrade. The Hero Ship story would begin during the battle of Reach, with them having just been ordered to pull out. A Marathon "takes a bullet" as it were for them, buying them to escape. The Halcyon fights a retreat alongside them and they have a "Good luck, Captain" "You, too" moment. After they jump out, there's a brief battle between them and a Covvie corvette that managed to track them, which serves as a brutal tutorial. After the battle, they notice a distress call from a nearby ship, jump to it and it turns out to a be a damaged Phoenix. The Phoenix Captain is senior to yours and assumes a sort-of command role. The situation is that, so far as they're both concerned, the fleet is considered lost. They decide to fight a guerilla campaign against the Covvies using data pulled from the Corvette's computers. There's a campaign of raiding poorly-defended Covvie sites and scavenge from trashed UNSC and Innie locations marked as Glassed. They find pockets of survivors which join the crew. Eventually a small Covvie fleet tracks them down and a desperate Last Stand is made by the Hero Ship and Phoenix and the Halcyon arrives just in time to even the odds and they have a brutal victory. The Phoenix goes down swinging, ramming a Covvie cruiser and taking it out. The battle is close to lost. The Halcyon is disabled and the Hero Ship has been mortally wounded. Then *another* covvie fleet jumps in and all seems doomed... until the new fleet attacks the previous one. The stunned survivors are greeted by the Elite Commander of the new fleet and informed of the changed situation (schism) and he offers to lead them both back to a nearby UNSC system. The Hero Ship begrudgingly accepts and is abandoned, the crew transferring to the Halcyon. There's a slow camera pan across the Phoenix's wreckage and the Hero Ship's battered corpse and the New Meat Lt. asks the Capt if it was all worth it. The Capt sighs and says "I sure hope so Lt." The ships jump out. *Roll credits along a sad version of the theme song*

A competent dev team could've made several entire games from scratch in the time it take Sins of the Prophets devs to put out one small update (which would just be yet another graphical update and little else). They aren't nearly as good or competent as their fanboys claim, and from personal experience, the lead devs are dickheads. The fact their mods and their partners' mods have essentially gone dead for years is telling enough, aside from token comments to string people alone once every few months. Let's not delve into the fact the engine they mod is old, clunky, and janky. And the game itself is practically on hospice care in regards to player numbers and they have zero plans to move it to the new Sins game, lol.

i think its wings are radiators for its weapons, engines and shields mostly. with spaced armor being a secondary effect, which works with plasma as vacuum distance is the best protection from heat. it may help with shield or splipspace geometry too.

The Mulsanne takes out the shields so that the 600+ Archer missiles fired from the other side of the system hit the Covvie ship directly.

I think it's just a general upgrade package to replace the outdated MACs. Kinetic weapons deal a lot of damage if they hit, but dumbfire projectiles don't typically do so well in the vacuum of space unless you're in brawling range, which in this case is anywhere below 50,000 kilometers, and this is exclusively due to their velocity. A MAC can only canonically engage at just over 16,000km, which is fairly realistic for such a weapon. That worked against the Covenant because they didn't know how to use their ships properly, but it would be woefully inadequate against ships that knew how to target with laser weapons out to 80-100,000km (which is pretty reasonable for such a weapon system), or had missiles with on board guidance systems (which the UNSC does), which are only limited in range by their delta-v (how much they can change velocity in a vacuum). So long as they're not shot down or jammed missiles can reliably hit targets even further away than laser weapons.

this guy does not know how lasers work they’re focused beams of light, not plasma

Being a big fan of these ships, you'll get no complaints out of this dude.

do you also have a full video of both the destroyers & cruisers or would you consider doing it?

@@stangundam01 Those I'm going to have to do piecemeal, but once those are done I'm going to compile them all like this.

Big facts

@Jayden Andrews nice

Installation 00's channel has a video on this very issue actually.

Especially when it comes to THE PILLAR OF AUTUMN (capitalized for iconicity)

If I remember correctly, Installation00 calculated if you want the ships to be scaled correctly to fit Pelicans/Longswords, they have to all be scaled up roughly 3-3.5 times... So a 535m Paris suddenly becomes 1600-1800m... The ~1500m Autumns become... Well you get the idea...

@@navb0tactual Yeah I saw that video. He makes a very good point too considering the very clear discrepancies

@@dukewild5071 The Pillar of Autumn is the BIGGEST source of size issues and discrepancies, and I'm not even talking about the warthog run (although that is a massive factor). Halo Warfleet did a horrible case of a cross section where the 8 hangar bays on both the starboard and portside are instead filled with cargo instead of... you know... bloody aircraft! I'm not even kidding, they retconned the hangar bays as cargo bays instead... Like who the hell is in charge of the lore details at 343?

Then I will kindly ask you to stop speaking ENGLISH.

I'm from New York and we've always said Iroquois the British way

@@rexxmen I’m from Arizona and I say it the British way

@@rexxmen oh my fuck, it’s named after the native people I pronounce it that way because of the color and rock that’s spilled similarly, turquoise. Iroquois Never mind I pronounce Iroquois the American way

Side with the British way? 😂 You're speaking our language, our way is the correct way. Are you going to tell the Spanish they aren't pronouncing their language correctly? 😂 Americans

Yeah I’m very confused about this weight lmao

I think he *meant* to say 0.93 *million* metric tons. Probably just reading off a script and didn't catch himself, as that's what the wiki lists its weight as. Always found it interesting that Halo even bothers to consider how much a space ship could weigh, even if weights are only given for a few ships.

Like Halo Wars but Stellaris? Fuck yeah that sounds awesome!

@@SamanthaLaurier Not exactly, something more like Homeworld would be better

@@starliner2498Or battle fleet Gothic

I always knew how poeerful macs can be. Esp super macs. But this really puts it into perspective.

What a mess of measurements, use metric and not mph

One day... but not today. It will be a humongous video.

It's goin up some time this week, all done just gotta touch it up a bit.

I hate how halo 4 and 5 smoothed out some ships. It's a bad move. The ridged look of halos Frigates look better.

@@ProtogenLaboratories truuuuuuuu

Instilation 00?

Itd prob be painful waiting 30 minutes for your MAC to recharge.

Well as taking space combat like in the Expanse. Using thrust vectoring & 3D awareness.

Most covenant ships dont even have plasma lances do they?

@Robert Harris I don't remember for certain but I'm pretty sure only Cas class carriers and up, with some minor exceptions, had them.

Thanks! To be fair I uploaded that video before I was monetized and used like, 30 seconds of a movie. It was cut up, and I think it was fair use, but I should have seen it coming. Glad to have you aboard.

a10 cool in concept but pretty mid, all due respect

@@michaelcastellano588you’re wrong buddy

@@inclement_weathr5564 nuh uh

​@@inclement_weathr5564hes not lol The a10 is trash

Yeah I forgot to say million silly me

​@@gammacompanymark oop

One disadvantage. Lasers disipate over long distances. So a ship multiple KM away would basicaly be having the worlds most expe sive flashlight shined on them.
