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...
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.
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.
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.
LOL oh please the Goa'uld wouldn't've stood a snowball's chance in Hell against the Minbari or even a fleet of Warlocks....Standard EA destroyers maybe 😛
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.
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. 🙂
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
Notice how although the Warlock was knocked out of the battle by the enemy's main gun, it wasn't sliced in half. A lot of her crew probably survived and the ship itself is probably salvageable and repairable. Even the Sharlins were sliced.
From a tactical standpoing can anyone explain why no one was focusing on destrying the energy weapons first instead of non critical ends of the ship?????
The whole thing has the tactical sense of cruisers all circling in Olympic sized swimming pools whilst peppering each other with seawhizzes. Not very reasonable, but it looked cool as hell! Babylon 5 was sorely let down by execs and show runners on the show after it finished. How it's not been rebooted given its quality, however, given how awful most reboots are, deconstruct everything, misgender, race, turn babyfaces to heels etc I'm glad it's been left.
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.
I always thought they (the Minbari Battleships/Capital Ships) looked very familiar ... so, yes, they are very much like Angelfish with all the backwards fins, and near isosceles triangle shape, in a 3D space ...
I have the Excalibur, but it has tons of tiny windows which are a nightmare to render. It needs v high anti aliasing settings which increases render times to high for a 10 min project.
@@SpacialKatana Nice to know you thought about it. It would have been the logical choice since the Vorlons would have been long gone by the time the Mimbari and Humans were cooperating. Nice job though dude.
Aw COME ON! We need to see all the turrets a NOVA can bear on target firing. Not just the cheek turrets. The WARLOCK missed the chance to fire both GOD beams on the initial approach.
I Thought That As Well; But Maybe After Opening A Jump Gate It Would Take Time To Recharge The Cannons? IF I Remember Correctly It Took At Least A Minute To Recharge The God Cannons After Any Discharge? Though It Appeared They Had Time To Fire A Volley After Disgourging Her Missiles???
@@PITTSTON2SARASOTA Can see it taking a minute at least at first to warm up the GODs + the initial charge. After that I think the "burst" fire mode is 30s w/ 1s discharge for the best effect. Could've started the cycle prior to jump though. Missile volley would've been more effective if they were nukes but too many friendlies in the area to risk.
JUST The BEST! But PLEASE Add Audio For Weapon's Fire. Though Not Scientifically Accurate It Adds Powers Of Ten To The Intensity Of Battles. Feed Our Feeble Minds.....LOL....
I was hoping it would have been the Shadows.....you are messing with a civilization we have invested much time and built up that believes in our way and fights for dominance and to become stronger.....Large Shadow ships splits into multiple ships and proceeds to slice the ship apart. There would have been no need to go get them since they would have been lurking nearby in hyperspace...I just think the twist would have been cool
I was going to have the Vorlons & Shadows come to the rescue, but decided it wouldn't work because they wouldn't work TOGETHAAA [Elden Ring reference there]
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!
Only criticism - the Earth Alliance capital ships were all Nova class ships. Those turreted twin plasma cannon are so powerful the ship cannot alpha strike and maintain the drives - they coast when they fire. None of them even tried, even after they saw their enemy could one-shot them. Bit disappointing, that. Otherwise, excellent piece of work!
That's a true Babylon 5 fan was fantastic brings be back to the shadow war i miss that sci-fi masterpiece not sure about this reboot they r talking about can't beat perfect
Loved the video but have to comment: any time I watch smaller craft fly over an large enemy ship (like the White Stars here for instance - and this is not a criticism of the video but of the designers of the original ship), I wonder why they don't have any downward firing weapons. They spend enough time on the flyover that firing down on it would make sense. Works only in a smaller vs larger ship, like in this case, but putting some kind of advanced "bomb bay" in the base of the White Stars that dropped or fired some kind of missile or energy weapon at the ship as it flew over it, would cause a lot more damage that just the shots from the initial frontal attack. From B-5 to Star Wars to Star Trek, they always make this mistake (though Star Trek ships do usually have 360º of phaser coverage, they never show them firing at targets above or below them. Two dimensional thinking indeed.).
True that about the two dimensional thinking. I would go more for energy than projectile weapons for that function since projectile weapons require a certain number of moving parts which need maintenance and have a history of malfunction. And having projectile weapons would most likely require those projectiles to be protected from energy weapons penetrating the hull & that magazine would eat up volume and add mass which it might be better to use for systems which have a better cost/benefit ratio in the realms of mass and internal volume.
In the main series we actually see Starfuries flying over a Centauri Battleship just like that, and they flip to point their forward guns downwards while still coasting forward, and absolutely wrecked the bigger ship. Any small but maneuverable ship, like the White Stars here, should be able to do the same thing. Only a big, lumbering ship that cannot turn around fast, like, say, an Omega Destroyer, would need special "down" pointing weapons placements. A small but maneuverable ship can concentrate its available energy on making its main forward weapon(s) as powerful as possible, and just flip its axis in battle to shoot in whatever direction it wanted to.
Dunno chief... Asking for the Vorlons to come through and help just reopens the door for the justification for another Shadow War. Shadows - See! See!!! They still need us to grow stronger! They arent ready yet to walk without us! We need to continue to foster them through the ways of chaos!
@@SpacialKatana lol yea I read through the comments and saw that the Shadows were behind this attack. I guess its fair game for the Vorlons to get involved then.
Great work. One thing I noticed though is that the ships seem to scale differently to each other from shot to shot and the bigger ships seem to be flying around like fighters instead of capital ships. Still it's very beautiful work.
I love this video. Minbari Sharlins and EA Warlocks do a lot of damage, but its still fighting. Good ole Vorlons help save the day, The alien mothership (Shadow tech?) should have retreated while it still could. Bablyon 5 fan fiction is still going strong!
I wanted to challenge myself to put missiles into the scene, they're a bit harder than a glowy tube to set up. If you actually supported the channel rather than making pithy comments you'd have already seen the Warlock rip a Drakh cruiser a new one. But, you're probably a juvenile in an adult body, or the other way round. I care not :)
@@SpacialKatana with a name like "Ancient Ally" I almost expected it to be a crossover where the "ancient ally" would be a Lantean Aurora-class warship 😛
@@ascelot This GOD Particle Beam cannons the Warlocks have aren't based on Vorlon weapons as far as I know. They are homegrown Earth-unique human tech.

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!
When the story telling is as good as the CGI work. ❤️
Whoever the Big Star people are...the Vorlon sure did make short work of them...
So they needed Vorlon help to finish off Space Soviets? Pathetic...
Its a Starfish with a Lazer wang!
Another great video keep up the good work 👏
Only criticism - the Earth Alliance capital ships were all Nova class ships. Those turreted twin plasma cannon are so powerful the ship cannot alpha strike and maintain the drives - they coast when they fire. None of them even tried, even after they saw their enemy could one-shot them. Bit disappointing, that. Otherwise, excellent piece of work!
They came steaming in all 'back of the bus' in typical human style, and got torn a new one :D
If the enemy can destroy Minbari dreadnoughts, it's time to call in the big boys to do the smackdown ... Vorlons ahoy!!!
and now I will be saying "Vorlons ahoy!" all weekend ;)
That's a true Babylon 5 fan was fantastic brings be back to the shadow war i miss that sci-fi masterpiece not sure about this reboot they r talking about can't beat perfect
So that Vorlon ship just rolled in slice them in two and kept moving
And if Warlock used GOD cannons, it would be over way sooner, but no, shity Vorlon ship needed to "save" Young Races...
That's how the Vorlons roll.
This was excellent. I always wondered if there would be a ship or two that could be called up for help.
That was Cool ! You warmed this ol' B5 fans heart...
This was really good. Great job. Really....capture B5.
Great fight :-) the ISA did pretty well to be fair :-)
Loved the video but have to comment: any time I watch smaller craft fly over an large enemy ship (like the White Stars here for instance - and this is not a criticism of the video but of the designers of the original ship), I wonder why they don't have any downward firing weapons. They spend enough time on the flyover that firing down on it would make sense. Works only in a smaller vs larger ship, like in this case, but putting some kind of advanced "bomb bay" in the base of the White Stars that dropped or fired some kind of missile or energy weapon at the ship as it flew over it, would cause a lot more damage that just the shots from the initial frontal attack. From B-5 to Star Wars to Star Trek, they always make this mistake (though Star Trek ships do usually have 360º of phaser coverage, they never show them firing at targets above or below them. Two dimensional thinking indeed.).
True that about the two dimensional thinking. I would go more for energy than projectile weapons for that function since projectile weapons require a certain number of moving parts which need maintenance and have a history of malfunction. And having projectile weapons would most likely require those projectiles to be protected from energy weapons penetrating the hull & that magazine would eat up volume and add mass which it might be better to use for systems which have a better cost/benefit ratio in the realms of mass and internal volume.
In the main series we actually see Starfuries flying over a Centauri Battleship just like that, and they flip to point their forward guns downwards while still coasting forward, and absolutely wrecked the bigger ship. Any small but maneuverable ship, like the White Stars here, should be able to do the same thing. Only a big, lumbering ship that cannot turn around fast, like, say, an Omega Destroyer, would need special "down" pointing weapons placements. A small but maneuverable ship can concentrate its available energy on making its main forward weapon(s) as powerful as possible, and just flip its axis in battle to shoot in whatever direction it wanted to.
Excellent work!
awesome!!!
but why warlock don't use his aegis canon?
Nice work, very well done 👍
Like always, when the big kids play in the sandbox. The little kids better get out of the way.
Dunno chief... Asking for the Vorlons to come through and help just reopens the door for the justification for another Shadow War.
Shadows - See! See!!! They still need us to grow stronger! They arent ready yet to walk without us! We need to continue to foster them through the ways of chaos!
...and I just finished texturing a Shadow Whitestar, things are gonna get ugly around here someday soon [pic in community tab].
@@SpacialKatana lol yea I read through the comments and saw that the Shadows were behind this attack. I guess its fair game for the Vorlons to get involved then.
Great work. One thing I noticed though is that the ships seem to scale differently to each other from shot to shot and the bigger ships seem to be flying around like fighters instead of capital ships. Still it's very beautiful work.
No turret fire from the Earth Alliance ships.
@@MonkeyJedi99 The Hyperion did.
The Vorlons: ha! You still need us! _Coming back from the expel. Wasted._
"Only cuz we softened it up for ya" 😛
That was top notch!!! Thanks buddy....
Wow! And then this ship came with a bigger lazer!! Or wooow! And then that other ship came! It had an even bigger lazer! Omg wow!
That is how it usually works when you don't have overwhelming number. You need bigger guns.
@@nguyep4 Yes, very deep complex story. They should make a series of Homeworld instead. That's a truly great story with space ships
I love this video. Minbari Sharlins and EA Warlocks do a lot of damage, but its still fighting. Good ole Vorlons help save the day, The alien mothership (Shadow tech?) should have retreated while it still could.
Bablyon 5 fan fiction is still going strong!
Considering Warlocks have 2 mega cannons at the front of the ship, based on Vorlon weapons, suprised didnt use them.
I wanted to challenge myself to put missiles into the scene, they're a bit harder than a glowy tube to set up. If you actually supported the channel rather than making pithy comments you'd have already seen the Warlock rip a Drakh cruiser a new one. But, you're probably a juvenile in an adult body, or the other way round. I care not :)
@@SpacialKatana with a name like "Ancient Ally" I almost expected it to be a crossover where the "ancient ally" would be a Lantean Aurora-class warship 😛
Not Shadow tech, as opposed to "The Hand". Another member of the 1st ones that were supposedly far worse than The Shadows.
@@ascelot This GOD Particle Beam cannons the Warlocks have aren't based on Vorlon weapons as far as I know. They are homegrown Earth-unique human tech.
