True Babylon 5 fans may experience emotion at around the 8:00 mark. Cheers and thanks for watching !
Yes I did!!!! Awesome video!!!!
@@VorlonAngel Haha nice 1 dude. Glad you liked it :)
All models are perfectly done, especially vorlon dreadnought.
And that vorlon homeworld.
It something, really something. And the moment when it flies after to help...
omg, Vorlon is able to help😪 but it's not Vorlon's homeworld 7:00, right?
@@momic1 No, just one under their protection.
This reminded me of one of the things B5 did for me which very few other sci fi shows did: alien tech is not functionally the same as human equivalent. Keeping in mind that a lot of the human weapons were probably based on Narn ones, there is a feel of older empires have advanced tech even if its relatively minor stuff, like how humans don't have artificial gravity except through spinning ships and Minbari stealth tech jams a lot of human systems (at least during their war).
The Narn weapons are based on centari or are straight up older centari weapons so in a lit of ways it’s the same for several of main races and most races at this time have artificial gravity drives. But I agree with your premise.
@@tarn1135 Agreed, though I don't think you see what most of the minor races do for weapons.
I started watching TOS recently, and they did it pretty well too. The Romulans have extremely strong weapons and stealth, but don't have anything remotely as good as the warp drive.
Agreed
It is puzzling that the Minbari can interfere with targeting when in fact the technologies should differ and not even be known to them however primitive they are in comparison to their own. Jamming requires intimate knowledge of the enemies weapon systems. Even with our own weapon systems, interfering with radar tracking is very different from interfering with heat tracking and both are very different from laser painting.
Are you referring to what the Vedas described?
Beautiful space battle. Vorlons for the win!
Damn! I thought Lewis Hamilton had left a comment until I squinted at yer avatar. Cheers !
If the aggressor had a Egyptian guy on board with funny glowing eyes..... Jaffa CREE!
Very enjoyable. Vorlons saved the day. I love how Vorlon ship just absorbed the energy fired against it. I would though that the planet destroyer would try to escape to hyperspace when Vorlons arrived but maybe it’s hyperdrive was damaged from previous hits.
Yeah it was pwned lol 😆
Note that when the Vorlon ship came in, the enemy focused its secondaries on it. They knew which one was the biggest threat
This was 'almost' perfect. I say almost as we didn't see the Warlock fire off its main guns. Those are always a treat to watch. Such a shame. But aside from that? Awesome work man!
This video I made of the Warlock will be right up your alley :- ua-cam.com/video/3xcUGmZfJNs/v-deo.html
The visuals are nice and the music was fine.
The original Earth Force ships seemed to be driving past the big targe...err... ship. It was like they wanted to show their sides to the cutter beam to slice them in too while their shots went past the enemy.
Then other groups started coming in, but nobody every tried to go for a joint strike / time on target attack run to dump everything into the center hub at once. And if they'd driven one of the blue angel Mimbari cruisers into the core, that could have done enough damage to reduce the bad guy ship, vs. just chipping off the star tips.
Swooping space battles with varied tempo are cinematic, but they aren't smart tactics.
And if your enemy has a massive cutter beam that will cut your ship up at close or far ranges, and our firepower is going to be more effective close in, then do a dance around the enemy ship at close proximity, don't show your back and don't create separation by flying directly away shouting 'cut me down!'.
And given that you can use thrusters as well as main engines on the Earth ships anyway, you missed the death orbit move - you turn your main batteries to the big ship, you use your main drive and the thrusters to orbit the big ship with your smallest target profile and your heaviest weaponry are on target all the time.
It's pretty, but it could have been more sensible and coordinated and have made an even better video.
In any event, it's better than I could do on my best day, so props for that. 🙂
Ahhh, the Vorlons. Much respect. They always really impressed me in the series, and struck me as the kind of people you want to be friends with and do NOT want to be your enemy.
As an Bab5 enjoyer, this was bliss. That ramping up battle music right after the minbari started their attack runs, chefs kiss. The animation is so retro perfect.
I really miss Babylon 5. 😪
A lot of the original actors are now deceased which is sad.
Always happy to see the Warlock class.
"Entil-Zha, is this leftover Shadow tech?"
"No... this is... Patrick."
7:55 That time I didn't open the garage door all the way and walked right into it with my face...
Worth making the video for a comment like that 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not sure there is much that can go toe to toe with a Vorlan Dreadnought!
Tru dat!
Watched this a 105 inch screen with 89k$ sound system --Made me tear Thank you .
Watched on a 15 = inch laptop at 480p, with 1.5amp speakers, MEH.. :p
Cheeky 😅
This is amazing. The best you've ever done.
1 star figured ship takes out a lot of allies, the Vorlon come with 1 ship and one shot kills the alien invader, then they leave.
Yes.
Babylon 5 is still one of the best series ever, I have started watching the series again a while ago
I need to re-watch season 3&4 again at some point, best segment. Most of season 5 shite, with a few good episodes. The telepath story arc could've been a lot better, and the actor was a bit naff [for me].
I enjoyed every second of it. I know it takes a lot of work and we won´t be seeing anything like it for the next few weeks/months, but honestly this makes up for it. Thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work , was a tense battle 😬
One million year technical advantage is definetly a decision factor in combat.
Well done. Showed more realism than everybody has shields until the last hit.
As usual. Awesome! Thank you for good vibe
Vorlons don't say much, Show up, dropped the 🎤 , Back home in time for 🫖
Just got this hit...loved it..had to watch 2x..its hard to watch in full and still work at same time...great use of Warlock, Minbari cruisers...the ever popular Whitestars..I like how the Vorlon comes is, like ok guys let me show you how its done..and 1 shot (like one punch..anyone get the reference?)...gets it done and in true Vorlon fashion, turns around and leaves...love it
You shouldn't be watching YT at work you naughty boy 🙄
"One punch!" - Mr. Mom
@@SpacialKatana well it beats working...besides here in the,States its supposed to be a holiday so it is quiet enough...
@@jimwatson2755 haha noice 1
Great work once again! Love your vids!
Outstanding work!! Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming.
Mhhhh the memories :-D
nicely done!
Excellent animation ands uperb use of Chris Franke's score! This may be your best one yet (which would mean a lot!)
That was great. Loved how they came in waves, not just the big guns showing up and annihilating everybody and leaving. Nice work, Thanks
Awesome video - B5 is truly an exceptional show - keep at it !!
The vorlon ship saw that thing and just said “ insect” before terminating it
Great battle vid, I was hoping we'd see the Excalibur make an appearance but the Vorlon cruiser was very cool too, as was the Warlock.
That was top notch!!! Thanks buddy....
Excellent work!
Yes Yes Yes more please I'm crying love Babylon 5 always Vorlon Kosh big fan.
Shadows need dissecting for killing him. That scene got my friends and I very agitated at the time!
Superb modeling and animation. Also very on-brand for the Vorlons. Jump in, blow something up, then promptly leave. Chef's kiss is when the Vorlon ambassador says something to you that is short, to the point, utterly useless, and totally consistent.
They probably took lessons in "speaking in riddles" from Albus Dumbledore....or Albus learned from them 😛
The Minbari have always been one of my top five favorite non-Human civilisations/species in science fiction. Their culture is just similar enough to our own to be recognizable. But in many ways, they are (typically) simultaneously more mindful and introspective while being capable of even greater savagery, when pressed far enough.
The Vorlon on the other hand are nearly unknowable in their motivations and desires. The only time I even saw one lose their temper was when Cmdr. Sheridan somehow provoked Ambassador Kosh into nearly killing him telekinetically during the episode that Kosh was assassinated by the Shadows. And that was probably because Kosh knew what Sheridan was asking would upset whatever balance he was upholding, permanently.
There was also the time that Kosh 2 telekinetically slapped Talia around...causing me to give him the name, "Darth Vorlon"...
Vorlons are my favorite! Thanks!
Vorlons come in see the enemy, you called me in for this scrub, ok lets do it, done bye :P
We are all Kosh
Beautifully well made. Great job
Thank you so much 😀
Fantastic! Brings back good memories of B5 series.
Another great video keep up the good work 👏
Absolutely fantastic !. Must watch B5 again. Congratulations to all involved in this project..
Cheers fella.
Great work!!!!
Another masterpiece! You just keep racking them up! Your talent cannot be overstated. JMS should hire you for the new B5 series.
very good work, thank you
That was fantastic! Definitely captured the feel and pace of B5 and how the different ships moved and behaved, was well worth the wait, thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was top of the line thank you enjoyed watching it
Glad you enjoyed it fella 🙃
Love it! Thank you. 👍
Thank you so much. Beautiful.
Thank you too!
That was a VERY NICE VIDEO. That star ship reminded me of a upgraded shadow vessel.
Man, you are gtting better every video you release. Keep the good work. Interesting idea with unknown enemy, Minbari and Vorlons.
Nice work, very well done 👍
Looks like someone had to swallow their pride and go beg the Vorlons for help.
I see a warlock class destroyer so at this point at the tech tree vorlons would be gone
That was Cool ! You warmed this ol' B5 fans heart...
This was fantastic guys. I know I have chastised you for mislabeling a Vorlon Heavy Cruiser as a Dreadnought...as the DN has two more Lightning cannon spines..one on each side (Being a Council of Ancients member...I know these things) but this was cool.
I wonder if you have Dilgar ships (AOG Versions) as I would love to see the aborted attempt to expand the Game Universe with the 'Second Imperium' (Survivors that were sort if drafted by the Shadows as reluctant allies. They have some unique technologies...mainly Mason torpedoes (development of their Meson Missiles)...Gamma Ray Lasers (Development of tech of the Valen's War Shadow Ally, the Daargon-Krait "God's Eye" Grasers...left on their former homeworld after the Vorlon's destroyed them.)...the Particle Pulsars (Development of their Bloter tech) and their ultra cool "Shroud Shields" (Development of the Hyach gravitational shield tech and the Stealth 'Submarine' tech. Basically a grav shield that covers the ship with a Matte Black shield...where only basic shape and mass are revealed.) We were 90% ready to publish when AoG lost licence.
Thank you for an excellent video.
Had fun doin' it 😃👍
This was so delicious thank you for your work ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
You've gotten a lot better compared to your earlier videos. Really nicely done!
Thanks.
Wow! That was exciting!
Очень красиво. Спасибо! ))
Very nice. Thank you! ))
Brilliantly done people!
Very cool. Was hoping the Warlock would use its G. O. D. cannon.
Done it before Rich, missiles this time for a change:)
That was spectacularly 'RAW'👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful Space Starfish!
This space battle video and the music go well together.
I used a medley of Christopher's scores that he did for the show.
@@SpacialKatana Yes, he also does some of the best TV show and movie music, too.
And of *course* the Vorlon takes the starfish out in one shot. :-/ Granted, everybody else seems to have been attacking stupidly in the first place, firing on the 'arms', instead of focusinf on the center, and more importantly, the firing points for the cutting beams...
Like the space parents they show up eventually to show the fledgling races how its done and cement their dependency. =P
You have to chop off the tentacles of the bosstopus to make it temporarily vulnerable. I guess.
Very well done , thank you .
Cheers.
Damn it I cried I miss the cast and the storyline. I love you guys.
And I was provoked to an emotional experience, again thank you. 🖖
Glad you liked it
Wow ...keep up the great work.
Well done, and thank you very much!!!!!!!👍👍🖖
Very well done!
The warlock is a true battleship 15 m of armor :)
This was really good. Great job. Really....capture B5.
Great video Babylon 5 is all time best and my all time favourite series
Excellent piece of work! If i could rate out of 10, it'd be 11. Very well made mate o7
Thank you so much 😀
@@SpacialKatana You're very welcome :)
Awesome vid. Nice to see that the Nova model I made in the late 90s is still being used :)
It's alright for chopping up :D Seriously cheers fella !
Puts a Battle Crab to shame. Great job. I like it. 🕷
veeery well done
Wow !!!! Great job !!!!
Thanks!!
Sheet awesomeness!
Just a couple of improvement suggestions... The Nova classes never used their main turrets, only front guns, and and Warlock has a railgun that would have been a nice addition for long range bombardment.
If you were actually a supporter of the channel, you'd have seen everything you'd mentioned before. THIS TIME I chose to use missiles, okay?
Thanks for dropping by.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want?"
Beautiful work on your part as always, and thank you for sharing!
But on tactics; warships with most of their primary weapons faced forward (like the Earth force Omega & Warlock class ships, and Minbari Sharlin class) would not rush the enemy and then circle it, because that would mean these ships couldn’t bring its largest weapons to bear on the target at that point.
Cheers
this is was great, please make more
Beautiful vid
Thank you!
Great work
Thanks! It was a badass video! The starship appeared to be a tough nut
Cracked it 😁
Cool work. Thx
No problem 👍 Happy New Year.
Saubere Arbeit. 🤩🥰😍
Looked like it was straight from the show. Well done.
Awesome video ❤ Absolutely awesome clip... the younger races are still young... :) this vorlon Cruiser 😍😍😍
oh my, oh my, oh my !!!! I just can't love this enough.
Epic Tribute!
Excellent! I rather enjoyed "The Star-Ship" enemy, although I would have thought that a Warlock would last a little longer and do more damage.
Beyond amazing
Very well done
