The Normandy SR2 | Most Detailed Breakdown | Mass Effect 

Hey guys. This is just the beginning. I will cover tons of lore from tons of franchises. But this is a trial of the merger and experimenting with new content. Nothing that can't be undone if it doesn't work out!

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite breakdown on the Citadel.

Sr2 has several key differences... Yes, it finally came with toilets! The crew wasn't forced to literally shit the beds anymore😂

The Normandy Reborn, is one of the best uses of the main theme i've heard, eclipsed only by the Suicide Mission track.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="752">12:32</a> "The CBT violently slaps aside incoming force...shooting CBT is like shooting a rapidly spinning ball" remember: CBT keeps shepherd and his crew alive.

I always get goosebumps and a tear in my eye whenever the SR2 reveal cinematic plays. Absolutely one of my favourite sci-fi ship designs.

A branch out into Mass Effect would be great, considering Halo is sort of dry right now

Glad to see any lore from you, no matter what its from. Your attention to detail and the sciences behind everything have made you by far and away my favorite lore channel

You know the reveal was iconic. When this game came out in 2010 and I saw the reveal my jaw dropped I was so giddy

As a physicist, I always appreciate your breakdowns…but this! This is my favorite ship!!

Our home, our wings, our revenge, our vessel of hope. Lot of strong memories for a lot of people with this space frame.

I’m the *REAL* Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite breakdown on the Citadel

I saw the thumbnail, the title, and then the channel name. And then I did a double-take. Glad to see 00’s branching out. Mass Effect is awesome!!❤

"I give you, the SSV Normandy SR2" I don't know how you did it, but you gave me the feeling that I had when I saw the scene unveiling the SR2 all over again.

OMG OMG OMG 00 is breaking down Mass Effect!!!! What a great day to be alive!

The Normandy is such a goddamn beautiful ship. Its a work of art, and that first time seeing it in Mass Effect 2 will always make me giddy.

My guy... not only have you covered Halo my number 1 franchise, now you're hitting Mass Effect my number 2 franchise. 😍😍

ME lore from Installation 00! Hell yeah baby!!! Whenever I think this channel can not get any better I get smacked over the head with a new video! This is may favorite lore channel on the planet!

bro rvery time I hear the mass effect music I almost cry, one of the best game series i've ever played fr

I’m commander Shepard, and I didn’t know I needed this.

I'm not Commander Shephard, but this was still the best breakdown on the Citadel.

2 weeks ago I asked in a mass effect Facebook group if there was anyone that did a installation 00 style deep breakdown and here I am finding out the man himself has done one, fantastic video hopefully we get to see a lot more

Gosh, I forgot how glorious series Mass Effect is, thank you for refreshing my memory

For a game that really never has space combat there is so much thought put into the design.

Ooooohhh MASS EFFECT stuff? Now this is a welcome surprise 👌 love this series.

Realistically, if you're accelerating a projectile to relativistic speed, it doesn't matter if it's solid, liquid, gas, or what have you. It's like wondering whether you should put a tungsten tip on your Tsar Bomba so it does more damage on impact.

Looking forward to you expanding on the codex entries

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite game on the Citadel.

I absolutely love the Normandy reveal cutscene in ME2!

IES Systems fails* EDI: hold up, let them cook.

That intro to the ship with the music... Literally choked me up holding back tears, this ship and the stories tied to it will be forever cherished by all of us fans

Well mate, I suppose you have to do something different, seeing 343 hasn't helped halo much. Looks like a great video, you still have my support. Cheers 🇳🇿

The timing with the music and intro to the SR2 was perfect. Keep up the amazing work

I was not expecting this but i love mass effect, so you explaining some series lore sounds awesome, more content baby!

Your most detailed breakdowns are my favorite things to listen to while I work. I don't have a big science oriented super brain like yours so I understand about 15% of the whole thing. Maybe even 40% on my second listen lol but I enjoy them all the same. Thank you!

Love this one. Thanks for covering Normandy.

That intro, short but cool. Just like the ship Rocinante, the SR-2 gives me chills.

Yes!!!!!! I´ve been wanting this for so long!!!!

I love mass effect and love that you covered this. Please do more!

Glad to see you trying out the merger, I’m here for it!

Mass effect is such a goated series, I would 100% be down to see you cover more of the universe

When I first subscribed to your channel a few years back these break downs were something you were already experimenting with, you would often compare different armor sets from various universes to the Halo armors, I'm glad your doing this again. So back then I asked in the comments if you could do a halo armor vs vanquish armor vs crysis armor break down, and im still looking forward to it lol 😁

Lovely breakdown of one of the most iconic ships in science fiction and easily my personal favourite.

One RU-vidr creating lore content on two of my favorite science fiction games a surprise to be sure but a welcome one

I miss the Lore Core Multiverse videos. Glad to see this revived like you said.

I accidently broke my Normandy SR2-collectible model when I last moved. The one that was made around the release of ME3. In lots of pieces. I am still in mourning over that, and it stopped being sold since a very long time ago so i cant replace it! Also a welcome suprise that you are branching out, nice

I see you are transferring the multiverse videos between channels. Akin to a prior statement, the SSV Normandy SR-2 is a very detailed and well thought out hero ship. Capable where it counts. It'd be interesting to know if ME4 reveals the Normandy's whereabouts.

Hey hey! Nice! Awesome to see you doing branching out!

Dude I love your mass effect videos ❤

Great breakdown!

I believe that in the Mass Effect universe, Normandy-class frigates are coated in multiple synergistic layers of self-healing smart gelatins, as well as related substances such as sol-gels. These layers have microelectromechanical systems suspended inside. In this application, the exuded layers are analogous to mucin - a substance that some sea creatures exude from their skins. The interrelated coatings are in the category of substances that, in the Mass Effect universe, are colloquially known as omnigels. Omnigel strata are maintained by automated systems within hull plating, which constantly monitor and adjust their layers, continually providing the best possible special properties - for example, maximum sensor stealth. In most situations, the self-healing coatings are indispensable for reducing the cost and time of both hull maintenance and hull damage control, which means that they increase the lifespan of the frigate hulls. A considerable percentage of damage can be repaired automatically. The use of microelectromechanical systems within the coatings would allow for these vessels, and some other objects to have their structural integrity and performance closely monitored in real time. This would enable crews to detect any potential issues before they become serious problems.

Love your Halo vids and breakdowns! And I absolutely love your back to multivese breakdowns again! The best merger in history I reckon 🤣 Keep up the great work! Without breaking yourself, of course. This is my favorite channel on the Citidal!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="220">3:40</a> That scene just perfect.

Why can't like this a thousand times? Another Goldie from 00 everybody

MASS EFFECT LET'S GOOOOO!!!!! Love this ship and the game's, thanks for the breakdown 👍

I really wish you would do breakdowns of ships and factions and weapons from some of my favorite franchises like Star Trek Stargate, and Babylon 5

YES!! more of this please!!

I got the notification and came as fast as I could

Yes. I like this very much. Hell yes Installation.

Installation00 I hope you keep doing more videos like this one.😊

Mass Effect is a series that definitely has some cool equipment that could be explored. Another series worth exploring would be Gears of War, things like the Raven, Lancer, and the Silverback just to name a few

I never knew this kinda stuff was done by you I saw that you was going to start uploading new games into the channel but genuinely hyped for ME most detailed...

i like the breakdown on the ships. there interesting to hear more about.

This video: Plays the Mass Effect music Me: Okay I'll play Mass Effect again

More mass effect, please! As a loyal member of the Lore Corps , it would benefit us greatly

It is notable that the SR-1, and later the SR-2, represented a revolution in space warfare that began with the First Contact War. For centuries, the Council races were relatively stagnant in terms of military technology. The turians' experience fighting the Alliance, while brief, was a huge shock. Humanity had woefully obsolete technology and a small navy, but nevertheless demonstrated exceptional innovation. The N7 special forces had considerable success, but most notable were the Alliance carriers. The performance of the carriers and their fighters and bombers, stunned the Council races. They already had fighters and bombers, but only in small numbers, crammed into cruisers and dreadnoughts. Very quickly, the asari, turians and salarians began building their own carriers. The SR-1's stealth technology, developed in a joint endeavour by the humans and turians, was another huge shakeup. After reviewing the Normandy's performance at the Battle of the Citadel, the Alliance accelerated construction of the Normandy-class stealth frigates. In a surprising move, the quarians somehow built their own stealth frigates, although it's unclear if they developed the technology independently or stealing it from the Alliance and Hierarchy. The biggest shock, however, was the salarians, who rapidly built an entire fleet with stealth technology, even dreadnoughts. The fleet did not see major action against the Reapers, but likely would've been devastating.

Loving your content and mostly dont say much, but i love your breakdowns, and details

*Claps his hands* Ohh... this will rock so much!!!

I have been wishing for this one!!! I can't wait to see more Mass Effect content!

YES! Welcome to Mass Effect MDB!!!

Oh yeah, this is the one I’ve been waiting for

Awesome video, looking forward to more ME content

Please please please, if you do any TV shows, do The Expanse! Hands down the best Sci fi show in the last 10 years

Love you, 00. Don't know much if anything about mass effect or the other games you mentioned (Halo is my bread and butter) but totally look forward to learning about all these different gaming universes vicariously through you :D

Over never played any of the Mass Effect games, but hearing about the lore has me interested. Thanks for this additional content.

In the intro you mentioned SR meaning Stealth Reconnaissance. While i'm not sure if it is specifically stated to be Stealth in the ME universe, in the real world the SR designation, such as the SR-71 Blackbird, means Strategic Reconnaissance. I always thought it was Stealth until i found out the real meaning a few years ago. Useless little bit of trivia but there ya go :) thanks for the vid, bud!

Just started playing mass effect legendary edition so this was well needed

Love this!!!!

I played tons of mass effect the past few months it was a blast been playing lots of games since halo is in the shadows.

I'm glad to see that the main channel is expanding on the lore of multiple sci-fi universes. That said I still hope we get a lot of Halo Lore

I think a cool lore discussion would be what are the 'pawns' the catalyst used to kill the Leviathans and where are they now. They are presumably even more powerful then reapers as they were used to kill the Leviathans which can mentally dominate even Sovereign-class reapers. If this is the case why does the catalyst no longer use them? In addition, another cool theory is if the Leviathans even used Eezo based tech or rather used alternative tech in addition to eezo based tech as we know the reapers made the relays and yet prior to that the Leviathans were able to control and travel the whole galaxy seemingly with no problem.

The Normandy is probably one of the coolest ships in Si-Fi.

This is solid. Would love breakdowns of Battlestar Galactica ships, including fighters. Your lore breakdowns would be awesome in that regard

Finally....... Breakdown was amazing ....."Shephard out...."

As a big mass effect fan, thank you Mr. 00!

(Commander Shepard viciously dancing)

I love experimental, prototype, one of a kind, super advanced, stealth ships 👍

Hell yeah baby mass effect is back let's goooooooo

Lol I had an epic music playlist going on in the backround and didnt realize it, it fit really with with the video for first 3 mins or so and I was like "why does he have music playing?"

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1381">23:01</a> About Normandy's stealth systems: How does it hide the ship from RADAR or LADAR? Both are known to be widely used in the ME universe, and all that is given about its stealth (as far I know at least) is that it hides the thermal emissions.

I love it!!!!

Thanks for this one. I love Mass Effect even Andromeda. The Mass Effect games are special.😀

Love to see you doing other franchises like this! Any chance you'd cover the Great Fox, from the Star Fox games?

I'm so happy with new Most Detailed Breakdowns from other game universes. (Hugs and Kisses)

And so it begins...

That iconic Mass Effect music in the background

Mass Effect is my favorite series of all time with the legend of Zelda coming in second place and Halo coming in third. Amazing that you are potentially branching out to my all-time favorite.

The Normandy is in my top three scifi vessels, only beaten by the original Battlestar Galactica, and tied with the Defiant class from ds9. It just slightly beats the Whitestar due to the way Normandy looks.

Normandy will forever be eternal. Her death only reborn her immortal.

Yes ME content! Waiting for citadel most detailed breakdown.
