The MCRN Sagarmatha took an absolute pounding at the battle of the Ring Gate at the end of series 5. Even after being hit with numerous salvos from the Free Navy, she was still slinging tungsten at an absurd rate. The Sagarmatha was only destroyed by the assault from Medina which caught her by surprise. Absolute unit.
Love the way they did ship explosions in The Expanse...still remember the first time watching 1x4 and being blown away by the awesome (yet sad) sight of The Donnager going out! The Donnager was definitely my favorite ship design wise in the show!
When talking about the weapons and their locations on ship, it would be super interesting and helpful to have the emplacements highlighted as you describe their location. Just a thought, great video! Looking forward to more
@@ds6080 Captain Yao should have deployed the Tachi as soon as she saw the single contact resolve into 6; it was incredibly foolish of her not to, and a benefit to the MCRN Navy that she did not survive her fatal arrogance.
Huge fan of your work brother!!! Love your videos on ships!!! Well done on your breakdowns and the huge amount of both background and unknown information!!!!!
_Technically,_ the only true "starship" ever depicted in The Expanse was the LDSS Nauvoo, as it was the only one designed for interstellar flight, the Donnager & all others were only designed for intra-system flight. Using alien tech to jump to other systems is cheating, it's like calling my car a submarine because I've driven it through tunnels under rivers 😏
While I do think she is the pretest ship in the IP... Her design is utterly nonsensical... Like they gave it all the most advances weapon systems capple of anlating anything at any range but the powerplant is the worst one in the system as it's massive in all the ways yet even with her 4 full afterburning main fustion engines. It can't even generate enough power to keep thge klights on much less all the weapons... Like you have a powerplant that if made in real life could power the entirety of the Americas in a total war. For as long as it had fuel to burn this full beingb the most common elemnt in all of existence mind you so that is a very long time. Given that we never see they fuel tanks of expanse ships so they must be tiny and only run out of fuel because plot... Also she has no armor like at all LIke I am sure if a new born look at it to much it would crumple... Like name one thing on the ship that stopped anything that was thrown at it? LIke how in the world was it supposed to be the spearfd head leading the marstain flight against the largest and m ost good enough fleet in the system again? Like given the fact we know the earth ships suffer from budget cuts and are old they don't seem to suffer from the powerissues one of the most advanced ships in the universe does... Also disppite it's size for a vessal meant to travel the whole system in patraols in war and peace... Um it could just be martain taste but modern US navy submarines which have much less internal volume and are all old IRL designs have infinatly nicer interors... Despite being the most limited stadrad inteors in the US milltray.... Which the martains have an entire planet full metal you can just sholve off the ground... Like given the fact it has no armor. You would think they could have given their space crews more room at a cost of just a few hundrth percent of those engines max trust. And being less stealthy when I highly doudt the martain cared about being stealthy really does not seem to be their thing if they knew it was a concept at all... Like it would all make sense it this ship was the pinical of martain hobrus... But that is not how they written it in the show at least at all... If anything they show crew made it be made by complet fools just to show the stealth sloops where danngrous... which was that plot even followed up on in the show I stopped watching it because it was too edgy for me. And while they do get alot of near future inter plantaty living about right although they did Earth wrong giving it over polulation and an iffy Earth government but not the power and all the stuff that having endless manpower and a population that/s bored and unrestful lets you have... Like even if Earth somehow couldn't catch up to Mars tech wise which I have no idea how it couldn't given the sole tech advace they had these OP unique in sci fi and IRL theory afterburner fustion engines... They kinda of sold it to litterly anyone and no not copies that were lesser then their but the entire lisnce to again seemly anyone... Also I have no idea how Mars could have all the samrt people given the fact they don't have much population and everyone hates them... Which honestly Earth should have the great people advantage soly given the fact it has infnate manpower pretty much and alot of people who have basic living covered for free so I reaklly can't see how some Erathlings could not dedicate they time to thinking... even if they had zero educate and resorces. Enstian came up with the theory of reltivty in what I would argue much worse conditions not to mention he lived in their past so I really can't believe that in a system war. They would not harnese their seemly endless resorces and being far awy from everyone else to easly win the war... Again this could have made the Donger make sense being designed out of pure egomaina and not to win the likely worst war in human history... But nothing in the show at least points to anything of the short if anything the show paints the martains as the udderdogs who would win the war on girt and high tech alone... But non of this matters because a seemly forgotten side plot would becaome the mian plot a derail the whole show in an extremely bold writing choice... To make the sole reason anyone was watching the show not matter... As alien would save humanity with magic space tech matter that made pocket demntions that would give humanity a singlure new purpose and lease on life... Like the show espacly was marketed on gritty hard sci fi... that was lost when that forgotten side plot returned as everything the show was building to the world it explored did not matter anmymore... making the key selly point of the show gone... Like don't get me wrong the side plot was cool out of place but cool and the new plot can work if it was a spin off that was set in the after math of the system scale total war... But it's not and that makes me sad such a grweat setting wasted for no reason and not wruitte well at all... Like somehow all that inter plantary travel that was blocked all the shows run was lifted and some how the belter who do not have that many ships and bearly any bpoats nothing that could make the track to the outer polanets had endless amounts... the earthlings somehow had the same luck but better given they had the longest trip with no experience in space and had to get out of not only earth opresive gravity well but also high up the suns... Like yeah the IP has really good bones the show visauls but nothing else.
Not going to lie. Please do all MCRN.
Thanks! More coming down the line :)
I second that :)
I loved The Expanse. Wish it had more seasons. The Donnager class was one of my favorite ship classes.
The MCRN Sagarmatha took an absolute pounding at the battle of the Ring Gate at the end of series 5. Even after being hit with numerous salvos from the Free Navy, she was still slinging tungsten at an absurd rate. The Sagarmatha was only destroyed by the assault from Medina which caught her by surprise.
Absolute unit.
Just like Daniel from spacedock said
"Sheer middle finger energy"
@@darkleome5409 Damm you beat me to it hahahaha
Sagarmatha: "They came from... behind!"
I belive the Tripoli still fought on after the asteroid clusters hit, only being destroyed by the “MCRN” QRA
Love the way they did ship explosions in The Expanse...still remember the first time watching 1x4 and being blown away by the awesome (yet sad) sight of The Donnager going out! The Donnager was definitely my favorite ship design wise in the show!
The ship that is the embodiment of pure middle finger energy.
Shame the class kept being sucker-punched so much on-screen. At least we got to see one unleash and brawl a bit in the last season.
@@Klaaism That's likely the only way to easily take one down.
When talking about the weapons and their locations on ship, it would be super interesting and helpful to have the emplacements highlighted as you describe their location. Just a thought, great video! Looking forward to more
Thanks! We showed a bit of the PDC footage, but you don't actually see them close up for that sadly :O
The e in corvette is silent. Love the inclusion of the concept development.
Donnager woud fit right in an Earth Force Taskforce next to an Omega.
Damn on a bring watching your videos lol. Love these ships and all the ships in the Expanse, they did space battle really well.
🤎
Ojhhhh. Me excited.
I like to see the human ships in the Expanse go up against the Covenant, both human ships have the same kind of weaponry.
@@Tallacus the Donnie will be smaller than a UNSC frigate
Nice video mate! I humbly request you cover more expanse universe ships, halo and warhammer 40k.
Instant subscription from me thats for sure!
Thanks, will do! We've already got some more SG ships (and maybe a city) in the works! Expanse is on the way for sure!
@ awesome! I look forward to those videos, i already watched like 6 of yours 🙈
I like em big too, just got to worry about those sneaky sly stealth ships though
@@ds6080 Captain Yao should have deployed the Tachi as soon as she saw the single contact resolve into 6; it was incredibly foolish of her not to, and a benefit to the MCRN Navy that she did not survive her fatal arrogance.
I'm not sure I would call the Donnys the Expanse's best ships. The Magnetar class is significantly stronger.
First! (This never happens for me.)
Huge fan of your work brother!!! Love your videos on ships!!! Well done on your breakdowns and the huge amount of both background and unknown information!!!!!
Thanks Christian! Glad you are enjoying them :D More on the way!
The voice of the whirlwind and the Tempest are looking down their noses at the Donnager but to be fair, these ships were just cheating…
Remember the cant
