Space Battle [Babylon 5: An Ancient Ally] 

True Babylon 5 fans may experience emotion at around the 8:00 mark. Cheers and thanks for watching !

This reminded me of one of the things B5 did for me which very few other sci fi shows did: alien tech is not functionally the same as human equivalent. Keeping in mind that a lot of the human weapons were probably based on Narn ones, there is a feel of older empires have advanced tech even if its relatively minor stuff, like how humans don't have artificial gravity except through spinning ships and Minbari stealth tech jams a lot of human systems (at least during their war).

Beautiful space battle. Vorlons for the win!

If the aggressor had a Egyptian guy on board with funny glowing eyes..... Jaffa CREE!

I really miss Babylon 5. 😪

Very enjoyable. Vorlons saved the day. I love how Vorlon ship just absorbed the energy fired against it. I would though that the planet destroyer would try to escape to hyperspace when Vorlons arrived but maybe it’s hyperdrive was damaged from previous hits.

"Entil-Zha, is this leftover Shadow tech?" "No... this is... Patrick."

This was 'almost' perfect. I say almost as we didn't see the Warlock fire off its main guns. Those are always a treat to watch. Such a shame. But aside from that? Awesome work man!

1 star figured ship takes out a lot of allies, the Vorlon come with 1 ship and one shot kills the alien invader, then they leave.

Ahhh, the Vorlons. Much respect. They always really impressed me in the series, and struck me as the kind of people you want to be friends with and do NOT want to be your enemy.

7:55 That time I didn't open the garage door all the way and walked right into it with my face...

As an Bab5 enjoyer, this was bliss. That ramping up battle music right after the minbari started their attack runs, chefs kiss. The animation is so retro perfect.

The visuals are nice and the music was fine. The original Earth Force ships seemed to be driving past the big targe...err... ship. It was like they wanted to show their sides to the cutter beam to slice them in too while their shots went past the enemy. Then other groups started coming in, but nobody every tried to go for a joint strike / time on target attack run to dump everything into the center hub at once. And if they'd driven one of the blue angel Mimbari cruisers into the core, that could have done enough damage to reduce the bad guy ship, vs. just chipping off the star tips. Swooping space battles with varied tempo are cinematic, but they aren't smart tactics. And if your enemy has a massive cutter beam that will cut your ship up at close or far ranges, and our firepower is going to be more effective close in, then do a dance around the enemy ship at close proximity, don't show your back and don't create separation by flying directly away shouting 'cut me down!'. And given that you can use thrusters as well as main engines on the Earth ships anyway, you missed the death orbit move - you turn your main batteries to the big ship, you use your main drive and the thrusters to orbit the big ship with your smallest target profile and your heaviest weaponry are on target all the time. It's pretty, but it could have been more sensible and coordinated and have made an even better video. In any event, it's better than I could do on my best day, so props for that. 🙂

I'm not sure there is much that can go toe to toe with a Vorlan Dreadnought!

Always happy to see the Warlock class.

Now that is a real Star Ship.

One million year technical advantage is definetly a decision factor in combat.

Babylon 5 is still one of the best series ever, I have started watching the series again a while ago

Watched this a 105 inch screen with 89k$ sound system --Made me tear Thank you .

The vorlon ship saw that thing and just said “ insect” before terminating it

Well done. Showed more realism than everybody has shields until the last hit.

Just got this hit...loved it..had to watch 2x..its hard to watch in full and still work at same time...great use of Warlock, Minbari cruisers...the ever popular Whitestars..I like how the Vorlon comes is, like ok guys let me show you how its done..and 1 shot (like one punch..anyone get the reference?)...gets it done and in true Vorlon fashion, turns around and leaves...love it

That was great. Loved how they came in waves, not just the big guns showing up and annihilating everybody and leaving. Nice work, Thanks

Looks like someone had to swallow their pride and go beg the Vorlons for help.

Superb modeling and animation. Also very on-brand for the Vorlons. Jump in, blow something up, then promptly leave. Chef's kiss is when the Vorlon ambassador says something to you that is short, to the point, utterly useless, and totally consistent.

This is amazing. The best you've ever done.

The Minbari have always been one of my top five favorite non-Human civilisations/species in science fiction. Their culture is just similar enough to our own to be recognizable. But in many ways, they are (typically) simultaneously more mindful and introspective while being capable of even greater savagery, when pressed far enough. The Vorlon on the other hand are nearly unknowable in their motivations and desires. The only time I even saw one lose their temper was when Cmdr. Sheridan somehow provoked Ambassador Kosh into nearly killing him telekinetically during the episode that Kosh was assassinated by the Shadows. And that was probably because Kosh knew what Sheridan was asking would upset whatever balance he was upholding, permanently.

Great battle vid, I was hoping we'd see the Excalibur make an appearance but the Vorlon cruiser was very cool too, as was the Warlock.

I enjoyed every second of it. I know it takes a lot of work and we won´t be seeing anything like it for the next few weeks/months, but honestly this makes up for it. Thanks a lot.

We are all Kosh

Excellent animation ands uperb use of Chris Franke's score! This may be your best one yet (which would mean a lot!)

Awesome video - B5 is truly an exceptional show - keep at it !!

Vorlons come in see the enemy, you called me in for this scrub, ok lets do it, done bye :P

Yes Yes Yes more please I'm crying love Babylon 5 always Vorlon Kosh big fan.

As usual. Awesome! Thank you for good vibe

Vorlons don't say much, Show up, dropped the 🎤 , Back home in time for 🫖

Another masterpiece! You just keep racking them up! Your talent cannot be overstated. JMS should hire you for the new B5 series.

Absolutely fantastic !. Must watch B5 again. Congratulations to all involved in this project..

Mhhhh the memories :-D nicely done!

That was fantastic! Definitely captured the feel and pace of B5 and how the different ships moved and behaved, was well worth the wait, thank you for sharing!

Fantastic! Brings back good memories of B5 series.

Awesome work , was a tense battle 😬

Very cool. Was hoping the Warlock would use its G. O. D. cannon.

Outstanding work!! Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming.

That was top notch!!! Thanks buddy....

This was fantastic guys. I know I have chastised you for mislabeling a Vorlon Heavy Cruiser as a Dreadnought...as the DN has two more Lightning cannon spines..one on each side (Being a Council of Ancients member...I know these things) but this was cool. I wonder if you have Dilgar ships (AOG Versions) as I would love to see the aborted attempt to expand the Game Universe with the 'Second Imperium' (Survivors that were sort if drafted by the Shadows as reluctant allies. They have some unique technologies...mainly Mason torpedoes (development of their Meson Missiles)...Gamma Ray Lasers (Development of tech of the Valen's War Shadow Ally, the Daargon-Krait "God's Eye" Grasers...left on their former homeworld after the Vorlon's destroyed them.)...the Particle Pulsars (Development of their Bloter tech) and their ultra cool "Shroud Shields" (Development of the Hyach gravitational shield tech and the Stealth 'Submarine' tech. Basically a grav shield that covers the ship with a Matte Black shield...where only basic shape and mass are revealed.) We were 90% ready to publish when AoG lost licence.

"Who are you?" "What do you want?"

Great work once again! Love your vids!

Damn it I cried I miss the cast and the storyline. I love you guys.

That was a VERY NICE VIDEO. That star ship reminded me of a upgraded shadow vessel.

Man, you are gtting better every video you release. Keep the good work. Interesting idea with unknown enemy, Minbari and Vorlons.

And of *course* the Vorlon takes the starfish out in one shot. :-/ Granted, everybody else seems to have been attacking stupidly in the first place, firing on the 'arms', instead of focusinf on the center, and more importantly, the firing points for the cutting beams...

The warlock is a true battleship 15 m of armor :)

That was Cool ! You warmed this ol' B5 fans heart...

Vorlons are my favorite! Thanks!

Another great video keep up the good work 👏

Beautiful work on your part as always, and thank you for sharing! But on tactics; warships with most of their primary weapons faced forward (like the Earth force Omega & Warlock class ships, and Minbari Sharlin class) would not rush the enemy and then circle it, because that would mean these ships couldn’t bring its largest weapons to bear on the target at that point. Cheers

Great video Babylon 5 is all time best and my all time favourite series

Just a couple of improvement suggestions... The Nova classes never used their main turrets, only front guns, and and Warlock has a railgun that would have been a nice addition for long range bombardment.

That was top of the line thank you enjoyed watching it

Excellent work!

Puts a Battle Crab to shame. Great job. I like it. 🕷

You've gotten a lot better compared to your earlier videos. Really nicely done!

This space battle animation is like a hybrid movie and video game animation. 👍

Looked like it was straight from the show. Well done.

Nice work, very well done 👍

Wonderful Space Starfish!

Excellent! I rather enjoyed "The Star-Ship" enemy, although I would have thought that a Warlock would last a little longer and do more damage.

Love it! Thank you. 👍

Beautifully well made. Great job

Awesome vid. Nice to see that the Nova model I made in the late 90s is still being used :)

Awesome video ❤ Absolutely awesome clip... the younger races are still young... :) this vorlon Cruiser 😍😍😍

Brilliantly done people!

This was really good. Great job. Really....capture B5.

Great work but for anyone wanting to reminisce, Babylon 5 is now running on Anazon Prime.

This space battle video and the music go well together.

Wow! That was exciting!

And I was provoked to an emotional experience, again thank you. 🖖

Очень красиво. Спасибо! )) Very nice. Thank you! ))

This was so delicious thank you for your work ❤️

That was spectacularly 'RAW'👍

This is the most epic masterpiece there is in B5. Vorlons ending it like GODS... Amazing...

The Minbari Battleships remind me of the Angelfish I keep in my aquarium, not an insult they look cool

Aw COME ON! We need to see all the turrets a NOVA can bear on target firing. Not just the cheek turrets. The WARLOCK missed the chance to fire both GOD beams on the initial approach.

Excellent piece of work! If i could rate out of 10, it'd be 11. Very well made mate o7

Thank you so much. Beautiful.

Outstanding work on your channel. This hit all the B5 feels. ❤

Great work!!!!

Thanks! It was a badass video! The starship appeared to be a tough nut

very good work, thank you

Well done, and thank you very much!!!!!!!👍👍🖖

From a tactical standpoing can anyone explain why no one was focusing on destrying the energy weapons first instead of non critical ends of the ship?????

All those amazing weapons that can one shot a ship but with the aim of my drunk cousin peeing on the cattle prod

When the story telling is as good as the CGI work. ❤️

Thank you for an excellent video.

Saubere Arbeit. 🤩🥰😍

4:55 this one aligned nicely with the music from the actual episode. But instead of Narns vs Shadows, we have Minbari vs Star

Epic Tribute!

oh my, oh my, oh my !!!! I just can't love this enough.

Nice job. Would have been nice to see the Excalibur come in and save the day.
