Heyo! I think if you place the timestamps inside the description it actually implements them into the video runtime, cant remember if it requires studio stuff or not but thought it might help :)
This is just my theory; that Dr. Catherine Halsey's Abstract fractal may have been her attempt at creating the human equivalent of the Domain.
also can you do a much deeper dive in the Paris class frigate
@@jamesfulton215 That's actually a very good idea and probably pretty close to whatever it was Halsey was doing.
As for the Paris I think I hit on pretty much everything I'd have to say, although my breakdowns have gotten a little more detailed since that one. Maybe eventually I'll come back around to these.
Because no one has done this, "Get this, Captain Jacob Keyes."
If they want to create a Halo-based space RTS, they they should talk to the devs for the Homeworld and include the devs for the Sins of the prophets mod! Between them and 343 ,they could make something truly beautiful!
Get the modd team from empire at war at have them make it
Itd have to be set in the 343 era (bleugh) or be incredibly uncannon else itd be insanly unbalanced.
Give me a more in-depth version of E.A.W's Subsystem and Hardpoint style combat, with Fighterbays/Hangars ect, but on the scale of S.O.A.S.A. or Homeworld, with customised loadouts for ships.
@@jaegergames7042 That feels like a great setup for a single-ship space RPG type game, with the protag being a single, upgradable ship and it's crew. You could choose from a Paris, Charon or Halberd with the Halberd focused on space combat, the Charon on Ground support and the Paris balanced between. As an extra balance, you could have the upgrades cost more for the Halberd, as it is physically larger. A phoenix class could serve as the Story and upgrade "hub" with a Halcyon making appearances for the opening and final battles.
Crew and complements would function as being a percentage based system (start with 1k marines and could upgrade to 900 w. 100 ODST and so forth), with the "second-tier" units requiring more "points" to purchase. Ship upgrades would be a straight upgrade.
The Hero Ship story would begin during the battle of Reach, with them having just been ordered to pull out. A Marathon "takes a bullet" as it were for them, buying them to escape. The Halcyon fights a retreat alongside them and they have a "Good luck, Captain" "You, too" moment. After they jump out, there's a brief battle between them and a Covvie corvette that managed to track them, which serves as a brutal tutorial. After the battle, they notice a distress call from a nearby ship, jump to it and it turns out to a be a damaged Phoenix. The Phoenix Captain is senior to yours and assumes a sort-of command role. The situation is that, so far as they're both concerned, the fleet is considered lost. They decide to fight a guerilla campaign against the Covvies using data pulled from the Corvette's computers. There's a campaign of raiding poorly-defended Covvie sites and scavenge from trashed UNSC and Innie locations marked as Glassed. They find pockets of survivors which join the crew. Eventually a small Covvie fleet tracks them down and a desperate Last Stand is made by the Hero Ship and Phoenix and the Halcyon arrives just in time to even the odds and they have a brutal victory. The Phoenix goes down swinging, ramming a Covvie cruiser and taking it out. The battle is close to lost. The Halcyon is disabled and the Hero Ship has been mortally wounded. Then *another* covvie fleet jumps in and all seems doomed... until the new fleet attacks the previous one. The stunned survivors are greeted by the Elite Commander of the new fleet and informed of the changed situation (schism) and he offers to lead them both back to a nearby UNSC system. The Hero Ship begrudgingly accepts and is abandoned, the crew transferring to the Halcyon. There's a slow camera pan across the Phoenix's wreckage and the Hero Ship's battered corpse and the New Meat Lt. asks the Capt if it was all worth it. The Capt sighs and says "I sure hope so Lt." The ships jump out.
*Roll credits along a sad version of the theme song*
A competent dev team could've made several entire games from scratch in the time it take Sins of the Prophets devs to put out one small update (which would just be yet another graphical update and little else). They aren't nearly as good or competent as their fanboys claim, and from personal experience, the lead devs are dickheads. The fact their mods and their partners' mods have essentially gone dead for years is telling enough, aside from token comments to string people alone once every few months. Let's not delve into the fact the engine they mod is old, clunky, and janky. And the game itself is practically on hospice care in regards to player numbers and they have zero plans to move it to the new Sins game, lol.
Glad my suggestion was helpful! The UNSC Frigates are my favorite ships in all of Sci-Fi. I hope your video doesn't get de-monetized this time.
It didn't get demonetized! I've thought about doing video compilations before, but I wasn't sure if anyone would like them. Thanks for the suggestion, I plan on doing the same for the Destroyers, Cruisers, Carriers, and Corvettes.
“Get this, Captain Jacob keyes” lol 😂 I love it
Everyone knows the UNSC Charon is actually a halberd-class destroyer😉
Another RvB fan I see
NGL it would have been cooler for the Invention to have been a heavily upgraded Charon class, since Freelancer of all projects would defo have the resources for it.
@@cookiecraze1310 FR the director had the funds. You could see that with him literally owning The Mother of Invention. Maybe RT just didnt wanna deal haha
No you're thinking of the "Staff of Charon" totally different ship.
its gotta be a puma
I have parked a Prowler in this comment section courtesy of, get this, Captain Jacob Keyes
I think the Mulsanne class and it’s laser is designed to specifically combat Covenant ships in a support role. The main reason the Covenant were winning the space front in the Human-Covenant war was partly because of their energy shields while human ships had no shields. However, as shown in halo wars Covenant shields have been shown to be susceptible to super heated plasma. Lasers are in a way concentrated super heated plasma. As shown in halo infinity when the Mulsanne fired the super carriers shields flickered, indicating it was out making the ship vulnerable to macs and nukes. In other words the Mulsanne class is a support ship designed to make covenant ships vulnerable to other UNSC ships.
i think its wings are radiators for its weapons, engines and shields mostly. with spaced armor being a secondary effect, which works with plasma as vacuum distance is the best protection from heat. it may help with shield or splipspace geometry too.
The Mulsanne takes out the shields so that the 600+ Archer missiles fired from the other side of the system hit the Covvie ship directly.
I think it's just a general upgrade package to replace the outdated MACs. Kinetic weapons deal a lot of damage if they hit, but dumbfire projectiles don't typically do so well in the vacuum of space unless you're in brawling range, which in this case is anywhere below 50,000 kilometers, and this is exclusively due to their velocity.
A MAC can only canonically engage at just over 16,000km, which is fairly realistic for such a weapon. That worked against the Covenant because they didn't know how to use their ships properly, but it would be woefully inadequate against ships that knew how to target with laser weapons out to 80-100,000km (which is pretty reasonable for such a weapon system), or had missiles with on board guidance systems (which the UNSC does), which are only limited in range by their delta-v (how much they can change velocity in a vacuum). So long as they're not shot down or jammed missiles can reliably hit targets even further away than laser weapons.
this guy does not know how lasers work
they’re focused beams of light, not plasma
Same as the original two frigate videos guys, I don't want to get anybody's hopes up too high.
Being a big fan of these ships, you'll get no complaints out of this dude.
do you also have a full video of both the destroyers & cruisers or would you consider doing it?
@@stangundam01 Those I'm going to have to do piecemeal, but once those are done I'm going to compile them all like this.
he do have a big head.
I honestly feel like the Charon class is undermanned in terms of it's ground force complement. Modern day LHD's (which is basically what the Charon is in terms of role) like the Wasp-class can carry almost up to 2000 troops. And those ships are about half the size of a Charon.
You know what? Come to think of it, Halo does have a size/scale issue especially when it comes to ships
Installation 00's channel has a video on this very issue actually.
Especially when it comes to THE PILLAR OF AUTUMN (capitalized for iconicity)
If I remember correctly, Installation00 calculated if you want the ships to be scaled correctly to fit Pelicans/Longswords, they have to all be scaled up roughly 3-3.5 times... So a 535m Paris suddenly becomes 1600-1800m... The ~1500m Autumns become... Well you get the idea...
@@navb0tactual Yeah I saw that video. He makes a very good point too considering the very clear discrepancies
@@dukewild5071 The Pillar of Autumn is the BIGGEST source of size issues and discrepancies, and I'm not even talking about the warthog run (although that is a massive factor). Halo Warfleet did a horrible case of a cross section where the 8 hangar bays on both the starboard and portside are instead filled with cargo instead of... you know... bloody aircraft!
I'm not even kidding, they retconned the hangar bays as cargo bays instead...
Like who the hell is in charge of the lore details at 343?
I wanna see more naval combat in Halo
Big facts
15:21 the obly armmed spacecraft in history was a soviet space station equipt with the same 23mm autocannon armment seen on soviet bombers as defensive armment
To describe something as positioned closer to a central axis, you can use the word proximal. I also doubt the stalwarts were 0.9 metric tons.
Yeah I’m very confused about this weight lmao
I think he *meant* to say 0.93 *million* metric tons. Probably just reading off a script and didn't catch himself, as that's what the wiki lists its weight as.
Always found it interesting that Halo even bothers to consider how much a space ship could weigh, even if weights are only given for a few ships.
I think this is the only time I will ever side with the British pronunciation of something
Then I will kindly ask you to stop speaking ENGLISH.
I'm from New York and we've always said Iroquois the British way
@@rexxmen I’m from Arizona and I say it the British way
@@rexxmen oh my fuck, it’s named after the native people I pronounce it that way because of the color and rock that’s spilled similarly, turquoise. Iroquois
Never mind I pronounce Iroquois the American way
Side with the British way? 😂 You're speaking our language, our way is the correct way. Are you going to tell the Spanish they aren't pronouncing their language correctly? 😂 Americans
30:11 not to mention the first confirmed instance of a UNSC and Covenant docking preformed with not only non-hostile, but directly beneficial intentions.

@Jayden Andrews nice
Get this…. Captain Jacob Keys
This is my first video of yours, and it did not disappoint! It actually kept my chaotic ADHD brain's attention - fabulous stuff 🤘
I'm waiting for the day that HALO gets a space based naval RTS. Both sides have such cool ships that are wasted as window dressing for Chief dancing on grunt bodies. The closest thing to it is a Sins of a Sollar Empire mod.
Like Halo Wars but Stellaris? Fuck yeah that sounds awesome!
@@SamanthaLaurier Not exactly, something more like Homeworld would be better
@@starliner2498Or battle fleet Gothic
Not even joking i got goosebumps when you said In Amber Clad! God i love the name of the UNSC ships! They're so impactful without being cumbersome to say.
Can't wait for the episode on that Mech suit, piloted by a demolitions member UNTRAINED and with NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE he absolutely ripped through those Covies like they were tissue paper. Can you imagine if those became production units rather than a one off prototype?
Because at least one person has done this, "Get this, Captain Jacob Keyes."
The Frigates especially remind me of the A-10 Warthog/Thunderbolt doctrine. Create a massive gun, now make it fly.
41:39 aka, getting “Bismarck’d” (space edition)
The Strident is such a wonderful class! Love it.
15:21
Howdy, E-3 in the US Navy here. As far as I know (and I may be horribly wrong so someone please verify what I’m saying), all weapons systems are controlled within the ships of the USN, with the exception of crew served weapons such as the M2 Browning and other such machine guns.
0.04% the speed of light is 26million840thousand 26,840,000 MPH in a mass of 3000 tons.
That is Mach 35,084. The Chelyabinsk Meteor was traveling at/about Mach 55 and weighed 13,227 us tons. The force of that mass impacting Air at that speed was sufficient to create a 500 kiloton explosion over the city of Chelyabinsk.
I always knew how poeerful macs can be. Esp super macs. But this really puts it into perspective.
What a mess of measurements, use metric and not mph
Awesome video. Love the Halo content. Keep it coming
Good job, I'm subscribing because it's the first channel I've seen that fully talks about the fleet of humanity in Halo; I hope that the games continue to release more content from this, so that you can tell us more about what is missing.
With how compressed the UNSC frigates are having exposed bridge's make sense. If anything it would increase its survivability, as these ships tend to get cut in half along the hull more often than having their bridge's caved in.
Great breakdown of the fleet. Great video!
This is awsome man keep up the good work
pretty good video, i watched the whole thing. halo has a really cool universe and lore. and the ship design i always thought was really cool.
10:05 THANK YOU! I’ve always wondered how you pronounced that, now I know and don’t have to use “Huey” every time I think of that model of helicopter.
"Get this, Captain Jacob Keyes"
Really enjoyed this. Hope to see similar videos for unsc destroyer, cruiser or carrier.
I'll try not to gush too much, so I'll just say.....This was really thorough. Superb visuals, musical score and really good Narration. Professional Grade video indeed. 😎👍🏾
11:10 that expression! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All of the UNSC Naval Forces are secretly under the command of Captain Jacob Keyes
Get this, Captain Jacob Keyes!
This is a awesome video good information im subscribing
Very good video. Get this capt-
the footage taken from SoaSE with the Halo mod brings a smile to my face.
I like your funny words, magic man
Great video man, you just gained a subscriber. Halo has always been my favorite sci-fi and I've loved it since the first game and the first book. It's to bad what it has turned into.
Hey man just wanted to say keep up the good work! Your breakdown videos are truly unique and very entertaining. Can’t wait to see more from this channel in the future!
Also, Would love to see you breakdown the UNSC Infinity or the Infinity class in general at some point!
One day... but not today. It will be a humongous video.
Probably my favourite halo video
For some reason, the most incredible part about all of this is that ive found someone as nerdy about halo ships as me
I hate how halo 4 and 5 smoothed out some ships. It's a bad move. The ridged look of halos Frigates look better.
@@ProtogenLaboratories truuuuuuuu
Instilation 00?
the UNSC Frigates have a great look and vibe.
Loved that you used Sins gameplay over the top... ive sunk many hours into that game/mod
Only 6 Minutes in and It Feel’s like I’m Pondering a Good Long Movie
And I’m in It
Great Work
Thank You
The ships of the line for the UNSC. No matter what they are, the frigates of the UNSC Navy will always be an integral part of any UNSC naval operation. They're small, but pack a punch. No small feat for such vessels, they really are some of the greatest ships the UNSC has. And the legecy of each of the classes, especially the three from during the war, will forever be remembered and honored.
Glad I got this video in my recommendations, I'm going to enjoy these videos if they're going to be this good. Keep it up, this is really great!
Get this, Captain Jacob Keyes.
This is excellent.
The captain keyes jumpscares are golden
I just put this in my songs playlist so when I’m jamming out to music I just randomly get a breakdown of all the UNSC ships lol
Regarding spaced armour, the main use in space would be to prevent damage from weapons such as plasma torpedoes by causing them to detonate on the external armour. Any kind of continuous directed beam weapon, like i believe the covenant plasma lances are, would just punch through the spaced armour and continue through the vessel.
Most covenant ships dont even have plasma lances do they?
@Robert Harris I don't remember for certain but I'm pretty sure only Cas class carriers and up, with some minor exceptions, had them.
14:02 babe wake up, new Christmas song just dropped.
Halo has such awesome ship names, I swear.
UNSC Say My Name
UNSC Long is the Night
UNSC Edge of Eternity
Transcendent Passage
Breath of Annihilation
Enduring Conviction
So cool.
I had two hits of nostalgia I was not expecting to get in this video. One was some of the photoaged used is from the game sins of a solar empire. I recognized the halo mod as I had just played that a few days ago. The second was music from mass effect around 47:00.
Okay, outside the awesomeness named "Forward Unto Dawn", "Promise of Dawn" and "Ready-Or-Not" are pretty sick names for ships.
Saying "Put some propulsion on a gun" makes me think of the A10 Warthog. It's basically a big gun with two engines, two wings, and a cockpit.
a10 cool in concept but pretty mid, all due respect
@@michaelcastellano588you’re wrong buddy
@@inclement_weathr5564 nuh uh
@@inclement_weathr5564hes not lol
The a10 is trash
MAN, that guy really has a massive head
It's freakish, really
Another amazing video. I look forward to the Vindication video
It's goin up some time this week, all done just gotta touch it up a bit.
I feel like captain jacob keys is like the halo version of chuck norris. Ya know like keys was boarded by the covenant once and after a brutal melee the covenant ship was destroyed
The algorithm has blessed me with a fantastic Halo lore channel! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Enjoyed
Keys is everywhere
The keyes the most fearless captains on the unsc
Gettysburgs ascendant justice really did get the Gettysburg some ascendant justice ⚖️
Take a shot everytime the "Keyes" name is said
Edit: spaced armor on a ship like Mulsanne would be highly valuable. Plasma hitting the spaced armor would be either completely stopped or wpuld disintegrate/dissipate entirely before hitting the ship itself
Much like how spaced armor and slat armor stops shaped charges to a certain extent
I love those Paris-class.
We need a Halo space combat game
Itd prob be painful waiting 30 minutes for your MAC to recharge.
Well as taking space combat like in the Expanse. Using thrust vectoring & 3D awareness.
While not missiles i believe i read that most navy ships still carrying deck guns have the ability to fire said guns from inside the turrets if the fire control center is taken out. They wont be as effective as they would be if they had the fire control center but they can still fire.
I just wanted to say, I love your comedy when it comes to the famous halo characters commanding ships, you’ve got yourself a new subscriber!~
Ps: 30:28 perfect edit
Most modern warships have a 'Battle Bridge' where the command crew (or their replacements) can retreat to to command
The Pillar of Autumn, Spirit of Fire.
Memorable UNSC ships :)
Get this: Captain Jacob Keyes
Sorry to hear TH-cam was just being TH-cam about your content... your stuff is so fresh and cool, hope the best for you :>
Thanks! To be fair I uploaded that video before I was monetized and used like, 30 seconds of a movie. It was cut up, and I think it was fair use, but I should have seen it coming. Glad to have you aboard.
Great video
The scream… 28:25
Is chilling…
To make a point for exposed bridges with windows (because they are cool)
I’m working on a Sci-fy setting rn where the two factions of humanity are at war, and one of them (The RHW) has very VERY advanced Electronic warfare, advanced enough that the other factions (the MCFP) does not even try to fight them on the EW front, and sense the RHW can just mess with their sensors to an extrodenary degree MCFP ships have bridges with windows to dive by sight in combat to render the RHW’s electronic attacks useless
They also use them for good old light signals in case of complete coms cut off between ships via RHW electronic attacks they resort to good ol flashing spotlights at each other
clicked on this as a random yt feed suggestion, was sold on 'extremitously.. extremtious..? Fuck it, its not a word but it should be!" 🤣👍
I'm subscribing just because you know what a Whipple Shield is
Stalwart class light frigate ".93 metric tons"??
Yeah I forgot to say million silly me
@@gammacompanymark oop
One of my favorite UNSC ship is a former colony turned warship The Spirit of Fire
Extremitous is now in my lexicon, thank you.
As Anlace is my favorite. Here s my 2 cents. The fact has wjngs and enclosed hull, The UNSC was going for atmospheric. After Covenant made shocking in Atmosphere slipjumps which catastrophically damaged new mombass. UNSC drafted plans for in atmosphere ships to combat enemy forces in Atmosphere or space.
On top that the design incorporated total armament of Energy weapons probably avoid "MAC rounds in atmosphere?"
When war ended me thinks the Mulsanne withnits very conservative hull design was based on prior frigates to avoid shipyard changes. It also still has guns and missiles.
When the war ended in armstice UNSC fear of reignited conflict decided rush production. Anlace was step up in design lessons.
- engines center mounted
- better energy shields
- electronic warfare suites presumably tied to disrupt or counter covenant tech
- atmospheric maneuvering to fight ships in atmosphere and repel landing parties
40:50 i don't think that the 'wings" are meant to be spaced armor, they could simply be large heat sinks that the heat generated by the ship's engines, machinery and occupants are fed into and radiated out of the ship, while also providing some level of extra protection against incoming fire
it's very easy to heat something up, it's very difficult to cool things down especially in space where there's no medium like air to transfer energy into
Finding someone who is just a mega nerd (and I use that term endearingly) about Halo Lore, warms my heart.
The named ships I can recall offhand are the Spirit of Fire, In Amber Clad, Infinity, Pillar of Autumn, The Silent Shadow, and The Vengeance
I decided to watch this video with my new best friend who is none other than, get this, Captain Jacob Keys
Only now am I realising how much Jacob Keyes gets around for a guy whose been dead since 2001.
I just love how you dont agnolidge the show at all :D
OOH RAW
Playing the excellent Sins Of The Prophets mod its a good thing you get so many production boosts as the UNSC as you need a huge mass of frigates as the cov ships toss them aside like nothing at the start as cov ships are so insanely powerful. The Strident can only be deployed by the Infinity, and if you are that far into the game to have built it then you proboly have 4-5 CAS to worry about.
That said, if you have flood mode swiched on at least you have a lot of chaff to throw at them. Each infected ship lost to the Cov is a bigger loss as they cost so much more and take so much longer to build.
Its such an amazing mod.
“Get this… Captain Jacob Keyes.”
Excellent video, and just a note on the pronunciation of Iroquois, the "American" pronunciation is also how the people themselves say it, making it correct by default.
As with why the UNSC went with the laser weapon. it might be because they dont have to carry ammo for the laser weapon. Post war UNSC doesnt have very many materials available to them id imagine.
The Stalwart comes with a dimensional pocket to house it's assets 😂😂😂
