*SIEG ZEON!*
@@corporategunner5972 Don't forget the different variants of the Cylon Raider Variants as well as the Klingon Bird of Prey Variants, and also the Goa'uld Death Glider variants.
The true workhorse of the Colonial fleet, and worthy spiritual successor (or maybe predecessor?) to the Runabout in a 24th-century-less era of television.
Successor. BSG premiered eleven years after Deep Space Nine. The concept of a small, reliable workhouse is a great one, to be sure.
@@Cailus3542 Yes, but were Raptors a thing in the original Battlestar Galactica?
Actually the raptor’s real predecessor should be the ever reliable Toyota Tacoma. Just like the raptor it simply evolves and just seems to retain its toughness
@@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870 no... They had larger shuttles which were more akin to buses than DS9 runabouts.
@@shininginshadows Thanks, I really don't know much about the original Battlestar Galactica, and information on the main sites a bit inconclusive.
The Raptor, not as fancy dogfighting like the Viper, but the humble work horse that will be on your side everytime
Glad to see Hooji's back in his stride with the BSG Deadlock footage xD
How can you tell!
- hoojiwana from Spacedock
@@hoojiwana Well, I have FINALLY found out how your name is spelled.
THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED!
I really miss Daniels super-tense narration. Still this video is awesome, thanks!
I wonder when he'll be back?
Hood is good, I guess I'm just used to hearing Daniel.
@@gsrjohn this.
@@RDR911 Yeah... not engaging at all for me. Could be used to Daniel... may change with a few dozen more videos but that right there is a flip... Dan's narration hit just right for my ear right off the bat.
Too bad "Blood and Chrome" wasn't picked up. I still would've preferred Nico Cortez in the role of Adama in this series. Oh well.
glad it wasn’t, ruined the entire aesthetic. Kind of reminded me of bad star wars literature. BIGGER! MORE! RUBE GOLDBERG DEVICES! Throwing out the somewhat realistic look of new BSG was a mistake.
@@alexmartin9177 Good point. But you could also look at it as "brand new battlestars" built for the war then later refit for peacetime duty. Fewer guns, less armor, etc, etc...
@@morgan97475 the lesser armor is mostly on the Galactica and she was being converted to a museum ship so it didn’t need its armor. As for the less guns, if you saw Jupiter Mark-II class design in DeadLock, it had less guns when compared the Blood & Chrome design, in my headcanon, I believe that the Galactica and the Jupiter class design in Blood & Chrome are a late war refit and once the war ended, all post war Jupiter-Class class that came after were built with the original MK-II design.
@@morgan97475 The biggest issue for me was the Rube Goldberg fighter storage elevator contraptions. That just more crap to break, and didn't leave room for things like moving them around on the deck. The whole more dakka aspect of the ships is a little easier to live with.
Caprica ruined the bsg franchise
Yes! More Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, please.
Daniel's tense narration sounds like a last minute briefing, but Hooj's style feels like a more informative in-world documentary. I fucking love it
Would be cool if they lean more into the different styles and have craft overviews by Hooj, and special missions/tactics briefed by Dan
Imagine if spacedock will remake their old videos in this style
I still miss the familiar voice. Don't really get or like the new direction. Idk, probably just me.
@@xpgx1 Get what you mean and agree. Less is more and Dan is the voice of the channel. Just before the channel's "refit" the quality reached its peak imo.
Edit: After hearing that Hooj not only voices most ship breakdowns from now but also writes the one he narrates I can no longer fully support my own statements. Nevertheless I am not sure what to think of the new design, please comment on that. Thank you.
@@leopolddienstknecht7931 Yes he is =) That's why I'm so unsure if this is just my impression. I'm not keeping up with recent developments and missed some of the staging, so to speak, of the refit endeavor. ^^
The others aren't bad - no at all. It's just that they _sound_ differently and ... idk, do not convey the same excitement or _tone_ maybe like Dan does. And yeah, less is more - that's what spacedock *IS* y'know: A focused, highly dense and yet detailed piece on my favorite space crafts. Dan always had this slightly more commanding voice hehe. Have a gr8 one, Pold der Held ;P
i would have liked if the stats of the craft were actually listed. you know, stuff like size, speed, max load, crew size, passenger complement, weapon count & placement, a list of its systems
instead its basically just waffling about with no clear line.
visually nice. but the content is lacking severly
@@Raszul The stats are still on the factsheet(s) as they always have been.
- hoojiwana from Spacedock
Thank you for continuing to feed my Battlestar addiction, Spacedock...still looking forward to the possibility of a "What if Pegasus survived the series?" video!
Hooji's excellent script writing and narration cannot be understated.
I see BSG - I see like button - I know what I need to do.
So say we all!
I wonder if any pirates or privateers during the interwar years used kitted out 1st Gen raptors? With their firepower I’d certainly believe it.
Honestly since BSG is a universe where kitbashed ships (in-universe kitbash at least, with stuff like the Blackbird and the garbage ship that was converted, etc etc) are so popular, a super-raptor combining parts of all three design ages would be pretty feasible to see if we got the chance.
I was actually thinking of a fanfic involving something like that. The story follows some space pirates shortly before and during the first few weeks of the second cylon war. They survive the attack because they were already hiding from the colonial fleet. After the attack, now they're still living as pirates. Raiding the Cylons for supplies and jumping away before a basestar can arrive.
This desighn is one of the best ship desighns. It seems really relastic for some reason I think if I looked out the window I could see it flying around. One of the best desigh
Wish we could of seen more vehicles other than Vipers and Raptors. You'd think they'd have a diverse range of aircraft like heavy bombers or fighter bombers.
I think the problem is, that the producers of newer BSG related content (like Deadlock) are afraid to use ships that aren't related to the ships in the series. So we'll get Raptors and Vipers but nothing new.
However, in theory it is possible that other ships existed (a navy with one kind of fighter and one kind of support doesn't really make sense) and they could just use the argument that none of the other ships were in use on the Galactica and Pegasus at that time which would give a reason, why they were not in the TV series.
Deadlock did introduce the Sweeper (anti-missile defence) and Taipan (anti-capital ship fighter in a DLC) for the Colonials.
- hoojiwana from Spacedock
@@knickohr01 A big reason why the Colonial mostly uses viper is due to a Battlestar's fighter launch tube. It severely limits the shape of a space craft you can design. Too many different fighter craft and you have problem to rapidly deploy them. Not counting the compatibility requirement for newer battlerstar (Pegasus can still launch old Mk2 vipers). But they do added a new launch tube shape to mag launch raptors on the Mercury (Pegasus) battlestar.
@@FortuneHunters and the writers thought it was a good idea to have a i can do everything ship but not well, as opposed to a purpose built carrier with various support classes around it.
They did have the Stralthstar in that one episode when Bulldog returned.
Here a challenge for spacedock. I would like to see them go into detail on the main fighter/ gunship from the N64 game Knife edge.
Man that game was dope.
@@HairyTrigger it was one of my mosted played games back on the N64.
The Raptor - unsung hero of the Colonial fleet!
So say we all!
the viper may have been the big hero ship of the shows but the raptor is still respected....
not as glamorous as a viper but it's role is just as important.....
think f it like this, the Apache is the fun chopper right? whiloe the blackhawk is a sitting duck when dropping off your passengers, which chopper is more important? both are for different reasons, same for the raptor and viper....
@@darthXreven The unsung hero is the one that does not get the glory. You can’t BSG you hear about the galatica, vipers and the Pegasus and eventually the Raptor comes up eventually. That is what being unsung is. Unsung is not the same as unknown or unseen - it is under appciated.
It was the final ship flown by Adana, was used in his Adana maneuver. It’s crew was killed and still fired the pivotal shot over the Cylon colony. But it doesn’t get the respect other ships get in general. You even saw that in the BSG web app.
I love the channel and the framing device of having a kind of dry documentarian view of fictional assets... however the new style where there are large sections dedicated to episode synopsis is kind of kills the mood, i've seen many of the shows and if I wanted to re-hash an entire episode or sequence I would look for that but that isnt necessarily what I'm looking for here.
Im with you Sharky
That ship is small, but she packs one hell of a punch.
After all these years of being with the channel to ship breakdowns are always some of my favorite content
The narration is good and the video is top notch, but I miss Daniel too
Where's Daniel?
This dude frees up Dan's time to work on bigger, better projects and of course The Sojourn
@@RDR911 not an admin dude, that question is asked to the wrong person! I just read the post he made
Great video. It's always good to have more crew working on the dock!
The unsung heroes of the Colonials
It's Chaff, & Acheron!
Great presentation 👍🏻👍🏻
And here i thought that the Deadlock version and the B&C version were identical. They already had the modern jump capable variant as early as 40 BTF during Operation Raptor Talon and undoubtedly prior to that. Apparently the Colonials saw no need to update the Raptor design for 4 decades...
New Battlestar Galactica content, this is a good day.
I haven't played Deadlock but that soundtrack is pure bad azzz.
Thank you
Man, I keep forgetting this is an ongoign project.
That is so cool.
Oh man. I just recently stumbled upon Hoojs channel and it's awesome to see him join the spacedock team!
You should make a video on the Star Wars Republic HAVw A6 Juggernaut. One of my favourite vehicles and I didn’t see you make it yet. I love the way you do these!
Awesome video! I think the Raptors were the real workhorse.
Nice video
Nice design.
So say we all.
So say we all!
So say we all
So say we all.
Aha...
WIsh this would have been made into an entire series, we need more BSG
Yes. More Raptor. God I love that little ship.
Love me some BSG!
I liked the original space dock layout, I think new smaller font is hard to read
Please make a video on the Zaku II and it's different variants from the Gundam franchise!
*SIEG ZEON!*
Man I love bsg
So say we all !
With an FTL drive they became long range recon and strike craft...
In today's times, it would be a C 130 with the qualities of an F 16 and a V 22, perhaps. Good little ship.
The Raptor reminds me of the Hurricane from WW2. The Spitfire may get all the glory, but it was the Hurricane that was the real workhorse of the battle.
Can we get a video about the caprica Air Force Jet Viper Please?
Can you do an analysis breakdown of the superman man of steel 2013 drop ship, the black one that fiora El first came into earth and greeted Cal El while the military was behind him pleaseee!!
hmm... there must have been an FTL-capable variant during the First Cylon War, too!
At least during the later Deadlock campaigns (from Resurrection on) you could send out Raptor scouts to gather intel on enemy fleets before engaging them.
Yes, I think the Deadlock's variant does have FTL. It's just that they couldn't be used during actual combat. But for scouting mission such as in Resurrection.
What is the b-roll footage from? I have seen the 2003 battle star series but I don't remember that stuff in the series.
Always good to see in-depth dives into BSG. So sad Blood & Chrome wasn't continued. and honestly kind of infuriating that they're now trying to remake BSG instead of continuing B&C.
Also, a challenge for you: Do your best to do an overview of the Taipan anti-capital fighter.
Is it possible to have Battletech content on your channel?
I would love a breakdown of the Argo.
In the series the raptor did have a jump drive
Could you make a ship breakdown of the ships from last exile anime series and StarCraft.
@Spacedock would you consider adding hats and patches to the merchandise store? I wanted a hat with the logo but didn’t find any in the store.
The Raptor, AKA The Colonial F-150.
I forgot about blood and Chrome
The Raptor variants are: Sea-level Raptor, Vacuum Raptor and soon Raptor 2
SpaceX starship reference? 😂
@@pricelessppp Most certainly :)
So Say We All.
The Raptor- the Huey's much younger (older...) brother.
Can you make a video for Swordfish II for future video?
In the shows or in Deadlock, Raptors get the job done.
Ahh yes, the ancient Pelican.
Still hoping for an eventual video on the Sobek Class: Battlestar Theseus
Love the design of the Sobek, not sure if it’s got any canon facets however
I feel like your narration has improved a helluva lot in the short time you've been on this channel, really looking forward to your future work m8, thanks
What was the early video footage from, I have never seen that. was there a BSG show beyond the main series?
I was looking for this too. Seems to be Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome
@@SpaceShipDee I didn't realize blood and Chrome was a prequel, I'll have to go watch it - I guess I didn't see it after all
While i enjoy learning about space fighter craft i do prefer capital ships
A military capable of putting an energy hungry FTL drive in a vehicle the size of a large truck, but can’t seem to grasp the concept of particle beam or plasma weapons.
Comment for statistics
MVP Right here.
Deadlock footage... nice.
Trading the rear turret for an FTL.... why not both?
I miss Battlestar Galactica Online.... I hate that it was taken down for a less awesome version that's only a single-player game.
Thanks love bsg videos
IFF confirms target is hostile
Where is the content from? Thats not from the BSG series and its movies is it?
The first Raptor detailed in the video is from BSG: Blood and Chrome, the later two are from BSG: Deadlock.
- hoojiwana from Spacedock
Some of it is from Blood & Chrome, a series (or movie) about young Adama and part of it is from BSG Deadlock, which is a game set during the first cylon war
@hoojiwana @My Channel the "tail gunner" sequence is from Blood and Chrome? Completely missed that move. Thank you guys gonna order it right now :)
The first cylon war raptors are way better than the one from the second war
It still bugs me that there was no new raptor in modern ships pack
S D F - 1 .
Very good video, only note is to check your pronunciation of empennage. It’s pronounced a little more french-ish ;)
There's always something I mispronounce!
- hoojiwana from Spacedock
Cobra Mk3 next please. It's the best.
Skirmish 3 is a bit distracting.
I think there isn´t enought Spoilers... Need more.
I don’t need viper joks I need raptor pilots
Anyone else realising the use of Deadlock music?
It's Skirmish 3 for anyone interested.
Think archeron was a heavy cruiser not a Battlestar
This was a mistake in the script. The 3d model is a Jupiter Class Battlestar and it was later confirmed that the script was at fault and not the CG.
It's rare that happens, normally it's the CG that makes gaffs, but not this time it seems. - Dan
@@Spacedock oh i see i didn't know that, but i remember the hull was very reminiscent of a Jupiter class . Cheers
Just a heads up it’s pronounced (ahm-pen-ahj) not (em-pen-edge). Pretty sure it’s French

New Narrator?
I like this one!
That's going to be a no from me dawg.
Rejoice rest He rose again 🌹🌚👍 okay bye
So...it took them YEARS to realize they should probably install a FTL drive on their primary resource gathering craft?
Wow, no wonder the 12 Colonies fell.
Umm, this is wrong. The assault raptor featured larger engines and a higher acceleration at cost of agility. The basic raptor being highly agile even when pared against the earliest cylon fighters where numbers were the primary way by which the cylons tried to achieve superiority c. Battlestar galactica deadlock
fail
Where did any part of the series or movies say there was a part with failures? Trace took a raptor back for the arrow using an ftl drive. How can you say it had no FTL? Proof. Adama used a raptor to wait for the president and had FTL to get back to the fleet. Your opinion is not factual
Where is your proof early raptors had no FTL?
@@RDR911 then note it is your opinion. Change titles to reflect that
Sorry, but the narration is just not as compelling like Daniel’s.
Please stop using the robot voice.
@@mateuszjokiel2813 that's absolutly a synthetic text-to-voice program. Change narators, fine, but that robot voice is monotonus.
@@mateuszjokiel2813 if that's actualy a person then he needs to be replaced. Terrible, monotonous voice.
You think the vibrating image make your videos more scientific, more secretive or what? I tell you, it mekes them only much more annoying, practically unwatchable.
