Just had a chance to play around with these today when my Beta Key unlocked. Really awesome to see how they behave on screen, sliding around the area tearing into fighter groups.
Spacedock nice video what for a game
I hope that when I finally buy that DLC the colonials have something to counter this and the phobos that one scared the crap out of me and now this
Very nice. I enjoyed this vid like all your other ones.
I really hate these ships. Probably my least favorite enemy to deal with next to the Nemesis suckers. For their size, those two ships seem to cause me the most problems. Deal with them? Or do I deal with larger vessels bearing down on me. Ugh. :P What an awesome game! :)
God those things are terrifying in the early game when there's a fleet of five of them coming at you, they rip through early ships armor like nothing else, and does anyone else see a strong similarity between this ship and the kestrel from FTL, or am I just insane?
TheFalcon67 I think you're on to something there
Every single sublight engines system is described as "Powerful" by Spacedock :D
I guess when it comes to spaceships, Spacedock dismiss the ones that have 'flimsy' engines.
Or 'impressive'
I remember, when 4 of these things completly annihilated 2 my Adamants, Berserk and Manticore in just 5 turns... Now I have every ship equiped with nuclear warheads)
These things are literal hellspawn
This ship is insane. Forget anti-fighter, it's pretty much anti-everything! Just one of these can eat an Adamant for breakfast. 2-3 can easily lay waste to an Artemis.
5 ate my Jupiter
Viper pilots flying to the DRADIS markers: "Right! CHAAARGE!"
At least one of the markers is revealed to be a Cerastes.
"Run away! RUN AWAY!!!"
These things can delete entire squads of vipers in a single turn in game.
It's scary and deserves all the torpedoes you throw at it :(
Veritas Calivmeir I dunno, so far the only thing that the cylons have thrown at me which has made me go "oh frak!" are their revenant class
@@firestorm165 The Revenant class has caused more stunned disbelief for me than any other ship as one of my mainstay line-holding veteran warships melts suddenly.
@@LockedBreech It is now fleet wide standing orders for all captains to focus all fire and munitions on revenants upon detection and to ignore all other considerations until it's destroyed. Not even Cratus class basestars get that kind of response
@@firestorm165 A wise strategy. I had a Veteran Minotaur holding the front of my battle line yesterday and as luck would have it, both the front and left side enemies were Revenants. Even with my fleet spitting nukes and going max-attack they had time to kill my Minotaur. Saved my battlestar though. RIP Minotaur "Emerald"
@@LockedBreech I know full well that feeling. Got ambushed by a pair of revenants myself and it took the combined efforts of the Jupiter "Spartan" and the Artemis battlestars "Kopis" and "Hoplon" to save the Janus "Cerberus" I'll raise a glass of highland wiskey to the crew of the "Emerald" tonight.
It’s always a bad sign when these things show up, especially when you’re playing anabasis. You could be having a great run, then all of a sudden, a trio of these drop in and immediately destroy all the civies you’ve been trying to protect. They have way too much armor for an anti-fighter destroyer lol. Nuke on sight.
Agreed. When I see those or the larger Cylon Reverant class gunships I immediately nuke or focus all my firepower on those things.
I always brought a sacrificial manticore along to story missions just to run into the middle of the enemy fleet to identify any of these buggers.
I can't say how much I love hearing you speking about Cylon navy that's so mesmerising
Be sure to check out his video on the Cylon fleet. Very cool.
This is pretty cool, youve now got me hooked into battlestar galactica!!
Except none of these are actually in BSG :(
I do hope in future DLC for Deadlock they include the Osiris Class Battlestar and the Valkryie. Loved the designs of those two warships, and I'd love to see the Osiris fight some more.
Sounds like pilots should start playing bullet hell games as part of their training.
An anti-fighter ship. And it’s an original design? I can see why the Colonials were afraid. Those it doesn’t look Cylon which is a weird criticism but this is a stray from what was considered the normal.
Mecha-san This is to nerf the overpowered Viper Mk II
I think that the design language is sort of meant to be pre-cylon architecture. Like, they didn't know completely what they wanted their ships to look like just yet, so they were still experimenting. Deadlock plays with the idea of the cylons evolving their fleet quite a bit through the gameplay.
@@dennydravis8758 you’re correct, this was an early Cylon design, however their early vessels were all Colonial for obvious reasons, their own ships began as taking the base principles of colonial ships and changing them to suit their own needs; so whilst it is an original design, it’s influenced by the ships they already had
In this case they’d have stripped out the life support and crew quarters, which would’ve drastically allowed them to reduce the tonnage without losing much in the way of firepower, which is what allowed the ship to be so nimble, whilst still remaining a powerful destroyer support ship
I swear these things have it for me they chewed through my 4 manticors, and hell, even an minatour
i was playing Deadlock on my Xbox and these ship are a pain in the ass to deal with early game
I'd love to see a video on your thoughts of David Weber's Honor Harrington series ships. It's an incredibly technically in depth sci fi novel series that often includes blueprints in the novels for reference. I think it'd be right up your alley @Spacedock
edit: it probably wouldn't do great on YT now that I think about it but youd still like the series im sure.
I agree though the Missiles definitely got really overpowered as the story went on.
I very much enjoyed the Honor Harrington series of books!
Can we get the adamant class next please?
It looks much more like a Colonial design.
PathsUnwritten they would initially be as the Cylons would have built most of them at first
I thought the same.
Most Cylons ships were repurposed Colonial vessels, remember the Cylons were a good chunk of the colonial military.
+Nicholas Powll Then shouldn't the Colonials have a few Cerastes Destroyers of their own?
Richard Ched no, a Cerastes would most likely be networked thus not useful for Colonials
this ship was a mistake. its just as dangerous to capital ships than to fighters.
Leeeeeroooooyyyyyy Haaawwkiinnnns!
Oh my god, he just flew in...
Stick to the plan, Chums!
Your the man spacedock I asked and you provided only one more ship to go ^_^
A Cerastes Class Destroyer? Hold my beer and cigar- Kara Thrace
abeelvago starbuck you are beyond insane!
I wish they'd reboot the original Cylon War. That would be really interesting to see.
We all knew how the Clone Wars would end, but it was a great series! The key to prequel sorta things is to make great original characters (in my rather uninformed opinion!) so that you care about the characters and the drama is regarding them, as opposed to the big picture.
This just in: you may actually be getting your wish
In the game, Cerastes is more powerful than a Battlestar. LOL
Thats why they eat as soon as possible a SHITLOAD of Missiles
The Berzerk and Adamant killer
At times, it makes me wonder how the Cylons didn't obliterate the humans during this war.
I have a suggestion for a video if you haven't done it before: The Dreadnought from I-War (Independence War for those in the US). For some reason this game has been in my head recently.
What does "DRADIS" stand 4 and how does it work?
Is a form of radar and comunication networks, it is used to map the space around the Ships in the BSG universe, it serves for avoiding collitions and locating enemy ships.
It's from the terms Direction, RAnge, and DIStance, or alternatively Declination, Right Ascension, and Distance (sources vary). As to how it works? Not a clue. It's just sci fi radar basically.
Fun fact: I have once shot down a mercury class battlestar with this bad boy (well, with minimal assistance from a basestar disabling basically all its systems)
That outro music is 51/7
where cn I find that awesome song he used at the end of the video??
Just in case you haven't found out yet, it's "Skirmish 3" from the BSG Deadlock soundtrack.
@@seanheath4492 I havent yet, thank you for helping out and not being shitty like a lot of commenters are lol :)
While I love the vessels made for the Cylons. A few of them look more Colonial in structure. I always thought that the Cylons followed a slightly Borg Like Ship doctrine of having decentralized designs that had no distinctive "Front" or "Aft" and were uncomplicated shapes. But here in Deadlock we see Cylons having Colonial like designs. Which came first? The decentralized Basestars or the other Colonial derivative ships?
As Spacedock has stated in the videos detailing the various Cylon craft, at the outset of the First Cylon War, the Cylon Forces were reliant upon commandeered Colonial warships. As the war progressed they began to develop their own craft which eventually led to the ships we are most familiar with when it comes to the Cylon War Machine.
So Manticore Corvette has 600 meters in length and is larger than this destroyer. Shouldn't corvettes be smaller types of vessels than destroyers?
Centurion lives matter. Cerastes, however, are wholly undeserving of life.
That DLC mission where you had to protect the celestra? Yeah, the cerastes there screwed me over so many times and it was an early game mission too. I hate this thing with a passion.
Can anyone identify that song at the end of the vid?
Do you think you could do a Stargate f302 VS naboo star fighter??
this thing looks like the F-304 from Stargate
Does it look like the Normandy or have I just been playing too much Mass Effect lately..?
I hate these things. My play style is based heavily on Vipers and Assault Raptors. Whenever I see one of these things it becomes my focus. Ive even burned a nuke on one just to keep my fighters working in the area
Same here.
Is it just me, or do the Cylons have far better ship designs than the Colonials? (with the exception of fighters)
They really don't colonial ships are individually far better designed
The Cylon ships look cooler to my tastes, but seem to be at a serious disadvantage in Deadlock's gameplay.
They're... anti-aircraft destroyers. The US Navy had them in WW2 and the Cold War.
*checks DRADIS*
*sees Cerastes*
*with shaking hand, deploys nuke, 3 missile salvos, Jupiter-class battlestar, Assault Raptors, X-Wings, Imperial Star Destroyer, Enterprise-E*
Fuck these terror engines.
you forgot to deploy the UNSC Infitiy and the Deathstar
It’s a shame that the console version doesn’t allow you to control many of these vessels
Cool ship. Has any one played the game and. is it fun.
hey its the uss daedalus
These things are disgusting when you have to fight them. but when you ar ethe one using them they suddenly die like flies. This game is so weird sometimes.
It's a real shame they never made a Cylon Campaign.
This is new....
Pls do Pegasus
only if it shows up in Deadlock.
It'll probably come eventually - he did a Jupiter one - it's just the mercury class left.
Notification Squad here!
nukes away
I HATE THE CERESTES! I focus fire on them as much as possible. Sticking a Viper squad out as bait when approaching the Cylon fleet. Cerestes love to rush out when they see a fighter squad. Recall the Vipers, and focus fire on the Cerestes. Only Cylon threat I hate equally are the Heavy Raiders.
ah....the ship that convinced me firing every fucking torpedo i have at 1 ship isn't overkill. ITS FUCKING JUSTIFIED
Anyone know when this releases for PS4?
Getting real tired of running into fleets of 6 or 7 of these things. had to fight 6 with my fleet of an artemis, adamant, and 3 manticores.. they deleted me. Busted ships without a doubt. I can deal with fleets of 1 or 2 no problem, but fleets of 6 or 7 cerastus are absolutely broken.
those are kick ass at killing fighter to the point it almost better having two like than one Cerberus
Honestly I don't like this design. I understand it was made when the Cylons were just starting up, but I really don't like how it doesn't fit the designs of Cylons.
I hate this ship.
I hate these things
