Whether George Lucas’s fantasy-style X-wing is bustling like a World War I fighter, or is it a more measured approach to the show? Battlestar Galacticathe battles in sci-fi space are more distorted towards fantasy than reality.
The exception is spreada 2015 hard science fiction series based entirely on a tough dedication to realism.
Ship of spread It operates on technologies that could actually be possible in the near future for humanity.
That means there is no magic energy shield, hyperspace drive, or super blaster.
shipping spread Fight in a vacuum of space using ammunition-based weapons such as missiles and railguns.
spreadThe craft does not feature fantastic gravity plating or science-neutralizing techno bubbles. They deal with actual Newtonian physics and the way the G-force influences the objects of motion, and the vulnerable human body within it.
The show’s approach creates complex space engagements that include attack salvos and countermaps. The opposite jockey is building his place in the darkness of the universe and fighting the limits of physics to achieve victory.
And the result of this approach is, unlike the others, a series of space warfares, which I have seen on screen up until now.
So make sure your sofa is juice and get ready to pull some serious GS.
Season 1 Episode 4, “CQB”
It was episode 4 spreadThe first season that gave us the first taste of the show’s possibilities.
The big battles in this episode take place from Donagher’s perspective. This is something that humans, the biggest and worst battleships, can produce.
The Donnager class is a crew of hundreds and is covered in weapons.
It is so large that it carries other small Corvette class warships inside it.
That’s how Captain James Holden and his friends are on the Rocinante. The now iconic ship was originally a corvette anchored inside the Donnagar and was named Tachi.
Donnager is quickly demonstrated that his advantage is flawed as the ship faces shocking attacks from six stealth ships.
Initially mistaken for a single ship, the attacker was split into multiple crafts and launched a coordinated torpedo barrage of hell.
Despite Donnager’s horrifying weapons, despite the inclusion of many point defense cannons and Railguns, Stealth Ships’ advanced technology allows it to avoid counterseas, cause serious damage, disable Donnager’s reactors, and undermine its structural integrity.
Holden and his crew escape the ship in a Mars corvette they find in Donnager’s launch bay, and slightly escape Donnager’s destruction.
Season 5 Episode 10, “Nemesis Game”
In the season 5 episode “Nemesis Games,” Rocinante’s crew faces a fleet of five ships and a victory fleet.
Still recovering from previous engagement, Rocinante with little ammunition is pursued by a free naval squadron consisting of five ships (two Mars-made and three Belter ships).
All hell is unleashed in the Free Navy Fleet before Rocinante’s Captain Holden executes his plan.
Kamina drummer, a former ally of Holden, was served against her wishes on the recovered Free Navy ship Tinan. She rebelles and takes control.
The drummer launches a missile salvo with the destroyer koto, distracting him long enough to allow the Rocinante to enter the ship’s railroad guns effectively. Koto is nullified by Roshi’s excellent weapons.
The drummer orders her loyal ship to stop. For one, Mowteng leaves the fight.
The heavy frigate Serio Mar remains fighting Rosinante on its own, but Rossi’s small missile Salvos cannot break through the defenses of the more powerful ship.
Another drummer-led ship is an armed salvage vessel called Dewalt, who takes part in the battle on Rocinante’s side by launching all missiles at once with a massive salvo directed at the super-dried Serrio Mal.
This will distract your enemy ship. Long enough for Rocinante to close the distance and destroy the reactor with a railgun explosion.
All the details of this battle are fully conceived, down to the small engine flares used by the ship to counter the power of the fire of railway guns.
There’s no show, but spread will go into so many troubles to get everything right.
Season 2 Episode 2, “Doors and Corners”
Our heroes have identified Thoth Station as a secret protogen facility that causes the same horrifying protomolecule experiments that launched the show’s plot.
To approach undetectedly, Rosinante hides behind the OPA cargo ship man Morinari and misuses the radar signature. With them near the station, Rocinante leaves and gently drifts away to maintain the element of surprise.
The Thoth Station defense consists of Osiris, Amun-Ra-Class Stealth Frigate, and Anti-Asterioid Cannon. When Osiris detects an approaching ship, he fires a torpedo with Guy Morinari.
Rocinante intercepts and deploys PDCs to neutralize the threat. A fierce dogfight continues, during which Rocinante deals damage to Portside Thrusters, causing him to seek cover behind the station ring.
At the same time, two violation pods carrying the OPA Marines and detective mirrors are fired towards Tote Station.
Amos Burton, riding in a Rocinante, repairs the damaged thruster, pilots the ship to destroy the station’s cannons, clears up the path the rest of the pods dock, allowing Miller and his team to achieve their goals.
Season 6 Episode 3 “Immolation”
The best battle of spread It is the smallest and the shortest.
However, the details involved and the tactical skills on display are the best shot on screen.
Marco Inaros leads and pursues the chances of a free naval fleet across Rosinante.
Inaros commands Pera, a lighter cruiser that surpasses the small Rosi. He also has two other ships with him.
The only rosi is a corvette, but it is not a regular corvette. She installs a railroad gun. Railway guns are weapons that are usually thought to be too large to carry that size.
Inaros attacks Rosinante with missiles, and Rossi dodges them with fire from that PDC.
The railgun is forward-looking and can only fire forward, but Roshi is running.
Rocinante’s captain and pilot James Holden swung the ship on the Wild 180 and fired one Railgun round from outside the normal range of the weapon. He then immediately runs another 180 and brings Roci back into the course.
The railroad guns are fired from outside their effective range and are called “hammerlocks” in their spread, so the Inaros ships should have enough time to dodge the railgun slugs, but they are surprised.
Railgun rounds connect and destroy one of the free naval ships. Another stays behind to render the aid, only Pera is still pursued.
The two ships exchange torpedoes, but neither can pass through the fire of other PDCs.
PDC stands for Point Defense Cannon, and that’s exactly what they are.
They are not used as offensive weapons and are considered too slow for offensive use at vast distances in space.
At that time, Rocinante’s gunner Bobby Draper notices a defect in Pella’s maneuvering.
When avoiding missile attacks, Pera always dodges the port.
This means that you can predict where Pella is when it fires.
Bobbie overrides Roci’s automatic control of PDCs to fire them, aiming for predictions that Pella dodge to fire in empty space.
She launches a salvo missile, and Pera immediately throws the harbor into the harbor at Rosinante’s PDC round.
The Roci PDC fire passes through Pera and disables the ship.
