Stargate: BC-304 Daedalus Class Battlecruiser | Ship Breakdown 

This video is a modernisation of a very old Spacedock Script with more up to date editing and visuals. Hope you guys enjoy this new version! - Daniel

One of the best parts of stargate was watching the growth of the Tau-ri from a non-spacefaring race into a legitimate power on a galactic scale.

I love the fact that the Phoenix was renamed the George Hammond to honor Don. S. Davis.

Everybody gangster till the Tau-ri Battlecruiser exit hyperspace

I loved how over time most of the SGC enemies sorta mocked the 'puny tau'ri' vessels, then later on are like 'crap kill that ship now' the moment a Daedelus ship shows up.

I'm a simple man. I see Stargate, I press like.

You just have to love the design of human ships in SG.

As ship designs go, it really is rather excellent. Like the Ancients before them, the Tau'ri build their warships to be effective rather than pretty. They have a very utilitarian and efficient design, packing considerable versatility and power into a remarkably small spaceframe. It does tie into how the Tau'ri are very small in comparison to their peers, but they are also powerful and exceptionally innovative.

Oh crap.... Now I have to watch 10 seasons of SG1+5 from Atlantis. Thanks a lot Spacedock....

I want Stargate to come back in its old glory, imagine the excellent writing with updated CGI and sets.

One of the best looking and realistic ships in Sci-Fi.

One of my personal favorite starships in all of science fiction, it is just so damn cool and well designed

Should've called at least ONE of these the Enterprise. to make O'Neill happy y'know?

This ship looked like something we humans might build. Which was one of the things I loved about it. Also I love the hanger were they built them, wish that had got more screen time.

The BC-304 is my FAVORITE science fiction ship!

The most powerful Earth warship ever created in the sci-fi universe... once it was upgraded with Asgard shields, beam transporter and beam weapons of course.

This will forever be my favorite spaceship-design in any SciFi-Universe. So beautiful!

Great video Spacedock!!! Daedalus class is one of my all time favorite starship in all of science fiction.

Stargate SG1 is a very interesting franchise for these videos. The different technologies and not-really-realism-but-not-insane designs (perhaps influenced by the show's collaboration with the USAF) makes them quite interesting. Love SG1

The 304 is one of the best ship designs ever.

Now we know where all the cost overruns and waste in *military spending* _really went…_ We owe the F-35 program a apology.

I love how every piece of technology in this series has an origin earlier in the series. Where did the 302 get its sheilds and hyperdrive? They retrofitted it from a goa'uld al-kesh heavy bomber. Everything can be traced to earlier in the series. Such great progression.

The BC-304...my absolute favorite scifi ship ever.

This ship was such a great design being the first design for intergalactic travel, it feels almost believable and a natural progression in advancing space exploration and combat.

Can't get enough Stargate Space Dock episodes dude! Really enjoyed! Looking forward to The Sojourn!

The Daedalus class really did have a penchant for punching well above it's weight class; even in it's original configuration it always managed to be a damn tough little ship that could trade blows with much larger Goa'uld Motherships, and stand a decent chance of winning any 1 on 1 fight.

THIS is why I love this channel. Everyone that talks about ships and/or space stuff is stuck on the star wars/star trek quicksand trap, but you my dear Daniel, look at the underrated masterpice of Stargate and it's lore.

The Daedalus is probably the most human looking spaceship in my opinion. For me the design is perfect! It looks incredible cool, is practical, upgradable, a reasonable size and really powerful.

Indeed. -Teal'c

Stargate and Expanse in the same video? Here, take my upvote.

I love this ship design. Would have loved to see a season based solely on at least one of these ships.

Love Stargate and absolutely LOVED this ship and its design

Can you please do the Andromeda ascendant?

One of, if not my favourite ship from any scifi.

I LOVE the Daedalus design. It looks utilitarian. Doesn't just have energy weapons And is compact. Truly my favorite spaceship

Your opening quote was by far my favorite part of the SG1 series finally. There could have been no greater statement of how far Earth had come over the 10 years of the show.

Yeah baby my favorite scifi ship. The Daedalus class cruiser

That audible ad hits real different after the multiple silly situations they’ve either caused and allowed, in terms of the sojourn being available.

I remember concept art for Tau'ri ships, Transport, Destroyer, and etc.

Such a great-looking spaceship.

Can we get Spacedock videos for the following ships and tech from Stargate: - Ancient Super Weapon [Chair] - Hasara Space Station - Midway Space Station - Lagrangian Point Satellite - Dakara Super Weapon - Replicator Attack Vessel - Gadmeer Terraformer - Stromos - Seberus - Tollan Stargate - Orlin's Stargate We understand that some of these items may require speculation on their dimensions, history, etc due to limited avaliable information. Any speculation as well as what factual knowledge there is avaliable is gladly welcomed. Thanks and can't wait to see these possible future videos!

This has to be one of the best deep space cruisers out there, in terms of aesthetics and weaponry, it's very awesome. With reversed-engineered Asgard, Ancient, Goa'uld tech, it makes the ship more powerful and versatile, even with a small size of around 200 meters...10/10.

ya get the feeling that if Sisko ever saw her in battle he would simply sit in his command chair...a small smirk on his face. Damn it was always satisfying to see a 304 kick ass and take names!

I love this ship's design. It's so clunky and utilitarian looking. It's basically just a large box.

A bit disappointed the USS George Hammond wasn't mentioned by name after its rechristening. But a great modernisation of the old video!

It's a shame that they had no chance to kick Anubis in the ass with these ships.

The Daedalus was such a big improvement over the Prometheus, even if you just go by the design. So much more sleek looking. Also, gotta give props to the Asgard for developing those beam weapons. Unless you have a ton of Ancient drones at your disposal, those beam weapons are the most deadly weapon in the Stargate universe.

When you're intro started playing Battlezone II music I was hit with a wave of Nostalgia. Glad to see I'm not the only person who remembers that game or Stargate for that matter.

I sometimes imagine what the Taur'i fleet would look like another decade or so in the future. Perhaps when Stargate Program is public knowledge and more funding provided, humanity can design specialized warships like we have on the oceans. A designated carrier, destroyers and cruisers each with their own roll and formed battle groups.

Beating a horse here, the data on the dvd box was not based on studio models so reference trekyards data on the daedalus

In (my) head cannon, we British got the 7th Daedalus class ship to come off the production line. Acceptable names include: Churchill Hawking Turing Brunel Burners-Lee Spitfire (just coz) Nightingale Fleming Whittle

A beautiful and iconic warship/carrier.

Best warship in Sci-Fi right here.

This is one of my all time favorite sci fi ships! Awesome video!

Makes you wonder how human ship designs would have evolved had they continued from SG: Atlantis and Destiny.

BC-304 Daedalus YES YES YES YES, I LOVE YOU. Easy my favorite ship in anything.

If the dimensions of the F-302 are correct, there no way 8 of them could fit in one of the landing bays. Those landing bays are really big (the episode of Stargate Atlantis with the wraith computer virus showed the inside of one of the landing bays with f-302s parked inside). The BC304 must be much larger.

The Daedalus class ship has got to be one of my favorite ship designs ever. I would love to see it have made an appearance in B5. :)

by far one of my all time favorite ships ever created, the designs so cool to me and its weapons and above all else the SOUND design for it is amazing, no other ship fills me with excitement like this one

One of my all-time favorite spaceship for sure

Been about 2 or three years now I've been watching this channel when I need a real scifi boost before I binge out on a season or movie. Thank you!

Really appreciating the use of the Supreme Commander soundtrack in your latest videos. An awesome set of tracks for one of my favorite strategy games.

I desperately hope we get another Stargate series someday, if only to see how badass the inevitable BC-305 would be.

Ahhh Stargate. Such a great series...And also, thanks for always doing videos on it...Brings a tear to my eye to see this pop up in my feed.

I absolutely love this ship class I just hope we will get to see more Stargate in the future with possibly more advanced ships since the last SG-1 episode where they got the entire Asgard database so I could be possible to see a whole new advanced ship but you never know what can happen.

The Daedalus is one of the most beautiful sound designs I've ever seen! ❤️

Loved these. Looked as sleek as a frieght train, and just as powerful.

The introduction of the Daedalus class ships really helped SG1 and SGA expand their plot lines into interesting territories. Although I love the irony in that Atlantis really started getting good when Aquaman joined the cast.

The Daedalus Class is among my top 5 sci-fi ships, and I would definitely want it fighting on my side in a fantasy space battle.

A great revisit of an older video. That ship was just insane, if they had done more series i wonder what they could come up with to actually give it a challenge, the only thing that was able to slow it down and cripple it was the Wraith super hive ship

Fantastic video! The Daedalus is my all time favourite spaceship 😁

Aaaah, you did my alltime favourite spaceship! I love this design so much, I built one in 1:1 scale in Minecraft. Out of smoothstone. On a survival server!!! Took me 4 months just for the exterior hull.

As a Space Engineers player, this channel is just a gold mine!

One thing that might have been helpful to mention is that the Tau'ri is the name used for the Earthlings in the SG-1 franchise. Named by either the Jaffa or the Goa'uld, if I recall.

You covered my favorite syfy series ever, one of the best. The video is spot on.

My favorite ship in all of sci-fi! Awesome design, very versatile, cool sound effects and very effective in combat.

Awesome video and a great supporter audible!

Just watched Atlantis season 1 episode 20 when the Daedalus appears so awesome great video!

I've been binging stargate whole week. On season 6 of sg1

Ah new spacedock upload... *Gasps* A STAR GATE SHIP VIDEO YAY! Need to include more StarGate crafts in your comparison videos mate!

I never noticed this until now, but there's two Earth Point of Origin symbols on either side of the neck of the ship. Neat.

Thanks for the SG love spacedock!

On Sunday, August 25th 2019 at 05:09 CET 28 Ori or Goa'Uld disliked this video: 😂 Well, a bit more seriously: I so loved the Stargate Series's due to their close proximity to our wn reality with so reliable persons, with their flaws, their humor (especially Jack O'Neill's cheeky and cool comments in many situations and the way O'Neill treated the oh-so-powerful slimy snake heads ... err ... I mean ... almighty gods. 😉. And the BC 304 class space crafts immediately won my love. Thanks for this video. I sometimes wondered, what the faces of the Ori ships commanders was as the USAF Odyssey after its Asgard upgrades destroyed at least two Ori battle cruisers as seen at 01:41 in this video seemingly with ease and even with dogfight tactics which is impressive for a ship this size. Sometimes, in the time the series's were aired first in my German home country, I ofte tried to imagine crossover scenarios like: Post Asgard beam weapon upgraded (as mentioned at 2:24 and shown at 01:41 with the) USAF Odyssey (right after the Stargate episode "Unending" S10E20) appears two days before the events of the pilot episodes of the ENTERPRISE series (the prequell series to the TOS) as shown in "Broken Bow" S1E1/E2. Here, after some conversations, the USAF guys under the command of general Hank Landry agrees on bringing the Klingon Klaang back to the Klingon home world after he got healed in the San Francisco hospital after he crash landed on Earth and got shot down by the northern American farmer. The Suliban couldn't track the USAF Odyssey while in the hyperspace channel since the Suiban uses Warpdrive tracking technologies and the Odyssey could easily reach Qo'nos within just a few hours (even without the additional power output of a ZPM) while the Enterprise NX-01would need days when travelling with max speed and a slightly overused warp core. Or later in the ENTERPRISE series when a fully Asgard upgraded USAF Daedalus arrives durign the Earth-Xindi conflict and destroys the second and major Xindi weapon with the Asgard beam weapons like it has done it with the Ori battle cruisers. Or another crossover. The Asgard upgraded USAF Odyssey arrives in the Babylon5 universe right during the last major Earth-Minbari battle, the "Battle of the Line" and the Odyssey destroys some Minbari Sharlin class battle ships.

You can see where BSG got some of the styling! I am kind of surprised 1 of those battleships WEREN'T given to the Royal Navy!

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but the original model for a BC 304 was 600+ meters. This makes sense when you consider that each flight pod is a simplified carrier, although I believe they are always below the maximum capacity number of 302 on board. What has always seemed strange to me about this number is the apparently small crew and construction time for such a ship. I mean, even if we use more wartime logistics and manpower, taking as an example an Iowa class battleship took what, two years to complete? Even with more advanced technology it shouldn't take less time to build such a large ship.

Always happy to see my favorite Sci-fi series get some love, even if all it was, was a remake of an old video :)

I always keep my captions on, and every time he says Tau' Ri, something different came up. Once it said towel ray, and my first thought was "don't forget to bring a Tau'Ri". You wanna get high?😁

In the XSGCOM fanfic, they also have 2 Ha’taks that they end up naming Enterprise and Admiral Kuznetsov. The command is surprisingly receptive, figuring people will just assume they’re talking about the naval carriers. Caldwell is given the Enterprise and hates O’Neill for suggesting the name, since people keep calling him Jean-Luc now. O’Neill suggests he get a toupee and make out with Anise to get a different nickname. Chekhov gets the Kuznetsov. In an alternate future, they build a super-awesome BC-305 with ZPM-enhanced Asgard beams, which lays waste to the Aschen home world after they try to infect Earth. The Aschen are forced to warn their past selves not to piss off X-COM. Meanwhile, the Tollan build powerful warships using their own and Asgard tech, including a planet-busting bomb based on that generator that destroyed their neighboring planet.

The Daedalus class is like a horse drawn carriage, with a Formula 1 engine, a pair of phasers mounted on the sides, and the passengers are armed with slingshots.

I like how the little engravings on the side resemble the symbol for earth :)

OMG! I love you! Finally something love for Stargate!

Good video as always. Love the content. When will you do the white star from B5?

Been waiting for this!!!!!

This is by far my favorite ship design in existence.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR STARGATE ATLANTIS LOVE

by far my favorite sci fi ship design

as well as all the stuff covered in this video its also a really cool looking ship :D

I respect that despite being a battlecruiser, a compliment of fighters was included with this ship in the Stargate series. Big ship, big guns. Small fighters, awesome dogfights.

The best part of the Daedalus and to a lesser extent, Promethus, was the "bwahbwahbwahbwah" sound those engines made as the thing goes past. Best scifi ship sound I've ever heard, even tops the TIE fighters imo.

Let your sponsor know that I want them to audio narrate the Stargate books
