The raptor was my go to ship in that game. It really could just cripple ships so effectively. And seeing virtually the entire system map was a godsend for hunting players.
The BIG thing I'd add to a Raptor would be an ECM jamming suit not just capable of scrambling an enemies DRADIS and sensors, but of highjacking all available enemy communications frequencies to blast Wanger's "Ride of the Valkries" (or alternatively CCR's "Fortunate Son").
10:02 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to stop myself from laughing too hard as to not wake the rest of my house! That description of the Assault Raptor Jupiter combo is just beautiful.
The target painting ability of the AR in Deadlock is actually more than just a gameplay gimmick. The biggest limitation in space combat regarding kinetic weapons would be time to target. These projectiles technically go forever at high velocities (until they hit something, get pulled into a gravity well, or just leave the area). So theoretically the range is unlimited. However, at long ranges good luck actually hitting a target that is moving evasively. The problem with gunnery would always be computational power for calculating firing solutions especially once you get to many thousands of km. Having a little ship there assisting these calculations would be a big help
Honestly the only thing I would add is a second FTL Drive. For a simple tactic. A "formalization" of the micro jump seen in the final episode during the Battle Of The Colony." That tactic being launch in the Draids shadow of the Battlestar. Wait until confirmation of a location with light or no raider presence. Jump to said location. AND! Surprise, THE SUN (or other munition if appropriate), to the rear. Jump Back. Recharge Jump Drives. Reload. Repeat.
I love the terminology associated with this channel. "Eat the Sun" or "Mach Jesus" are golriously colorful hilarious phrases that are also immediately and naturally understandable to most people.
BSG and every other sci fi series (except Space Above and Beyond) was basically just, we have limited actor budget, so what if we take (character trained to do 1 thing) and then also make them space infantry, a thing that is a whole other collection of skills. So we just load our fighter pilots into the brick and do ground combat because reasons.
As it was mentioned in the video, for anyone that misses Battlestar Galactica Online, there is now a playable private server up and running for it It's still missing some things (no story mode just yet) but so far all the ships and equipment seem to be present, NPCs are working and it plays pretty much just like the original with some absolutely massive battles going on between colonial and cylon players
Oh...I see that you used some of David 'CanidD' Briedis' work (@16:43). Nice. I sure miss the guy, Was generous enough to let me use his work before he died.
Holy shit! The screenshot at 9:00 is mine! Hot damn! I was happy with how that turned out but I didn't expect it to get this kind of spotlight! BSG Deadlock has an amazing photo mode.
LOL, google returned that as like, one of only 5 results for the assault raptor and i tried and failed to get images of it for like an hour. So congrats, my laziness and the internet worked together to put your work up on youtube i guess. Thanks for taking that image by the way it made that segment possible.
To be honest a raptor should have better shielding, speed is critical however improved armour, also introduce remote raptors packed with explosives to land in in Cylon hanger-bays.
SLIGHT change to the premise, sorry. Thought of this when Season 1 was on the air. Not a chang to the BSG Raptor, but a spin off Viper. One engine from the Mk3(?) Raptor, and the jump drive. (assuming the larger engines are needed to Power the Ftl.) Mate that to a Viper Mk7, or whatever model is lying around, instant Space F16. (F16 is nicknamed Viper from the OG 70s Galactica, symmetry) No nav comp, as big n heavy, so squadron would slave themselves to a Raptor and jump together. Nice little battle group.
It sounds like by the 9th year of the war they had the jump capable one we are more familiar with. They they only gad a limited number of them . I suspect ( my head cannon) an operation raper . Was followed up by raptor tallon . First one to retake 10 or 11 of the other sectors. And then s couple of year to build up enough to lanch the campaign. Battlestar group attcked in irbit raptors jusm below dradis destoy based snd jump out and the deploy marine and infinity to occupued wiith vlean sweep . Driving cylons out of the sectors. With raptor groups on Battlestars and carriers. . They were two years of major battles in the final two years Including the battle of cimtar. Where the combined fleet am was abused like in tod . Galactica was boarded lost two thousand peope snd they combined special task force. Whrn from 40 ships ( 3 Jupiters snd a valkerie) dien to 3 by the end. Eith destroyed or used to occupy outer colinies
How dare you say purple crayons are the best! Everyone knows it's the green ones! Add to a Raptor? 360 degree belly turret rather than fixed guns. It still lacks the mobility compared to fighters so a better firing arc should help survivability.
god the Raptor FR was a meme in the original Battlestar Online, and it was so worth the resources to obtain
so much fun to lead a team of strikes and assist with targeting. Argos
There is a privat server were you could still play

@@jbz4788 I Played cylons ekvivalent. Heavy Raider FR. I named it Prophet. because can see if somebody going to you y much soooner than him.
I miss battlestar online, the amount of school lunches i spent playing that

You had me at “gun brick”. I love chunky scifi gunships with an absurd amount of weapons.

Do you still have to pay money for literally anything that isn't a starter ship?
Where more info, please!
Only the special role Module are not in and maps as well 50% the Systems but beside its sll there^^

@@scienceinsanity6927Hey thanks for showing it! It sounds like I need to make more BSG Deadlock screenshots. I take requests. 😅
Woot!
There's definitely some inspiration from the UD-4 Cheyenne dropship used by the Colonial Marines in the Alien franchise.
My favourite part of these videos is the FTL music as the bed. God those are good tunes.
scale up a raptor to the size of a battlestar.
Same crew complement.
That extra space? Every single missile you can possibly stuff in it.
15:56 Bruh this be a Battlestar's version of an EVE Online Tengu sneak about find the enemy drop a cyno and let the supper carriers shred the enemy.
Raptors sometimes remind me of the versatile Eagles from Space 1999.
Assault raptors are great in deadlock they can burn through armor easily
They made a civilian version for civil defence. Or ministry of health. An ambulance version.
For the algorithm. So say we all.
:) They're not glamorous, certainly not sleek but the Raptors do have their place and are necessary.
The Raptor reminds me of a Huey Chopper from the Vietnam War.
I love battlestar galactica and all it stupid hilarities 😂
Best ship in a fleet by any variant and indispensable.
All hail the beefy battle taxi!
Awesome video. Thank you!
So say we all
So say we all!
So say we all.
So say we all.
Please do the BSG online ships!
Actually the deadlock raptor is the first raptor, the blood and chrome raptor is late war
LETS GO I LOVE THE RAPTOR IT'S THE BEST SCI FI SUPPORT SHIP I LOVE IT SO MUCH GOOSE APPROVED 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯💯
Gonna make a video about the Rhino from BSG Online?
Might be fun although there probably is not much out there anymore...
Great video thanks for sharing 🍻👍
Vipers are nice, but these babies have so much more firepower

This ship is the one I would fly if it was all real.
We got double gatling guns, We don't need crayons .........

Can you please do a video on the ships from the sojourn?
Ehhhhhh, maybe. I would need to buy and listen to the audio book/drama first before i could even begin to make content on it.
Add FTL drive to Assault Raptor, Done.
Can you Post the BS Prometheus somewhere?
for the algorithm
Feed Steve
I still call em space coreydoras....
Is it me or does the raptor look like a legless Mech?
Where is Steve? -_-
How dare you say purple crayons are the best! Everyone knows it's the green ones!

Meme machine gun brick
Your discord link has expired
Too small for its mission. It looks like a worker bee for ship repairs.
dude, it's taxi, not taxy
Fixed, thanks for letting me know. I am in fact, pretty fu**ing stupid.
Raptor = Helo. ASW, ASuW. Gunship. SAR. AntiTank/CAS. Sort of lazy writing to make one ship do it all.
where is the bathroom
First
