Today, we’re once again talking about Battlestar Galactica! While we’ve previously analysed the likes of the Jupiter-class Battlestar, amongst others, today we’re looking at Every Battlestar Class in Battlestar Galactica. The Colonial Fleet, while not seen much in the series, is a tough one - unless it comes down to hacked software - so let’s see what these impressive designs are.

Its nice to see BSG still get some love even after all this time.

I agree. Osiris is not a Battlestar. They tried to call it a pocket Battlestar, but your argument about its structure not conforming to the classic Battlestar layout is valid. It was a cool ship, though.

BSG: Deadlock, which is supposed to be canon, ridicules the idea of the Orion class being a battlestar.
They make it a stealth light frigate - the ship description in-game actually makes fun of the idea of calling it a battlestar.
Absolutely the right call on their part, IMO.
The pods on the Jupiter class retracted because the support arms and hull couldn't handle the strain of a jump with the pods extended. Galactica jumping with her pods extended at the end of the series was literally the straw that broke her back. In Deadlock, the original Jupiters originally had 3 arms holding the flight pods, and they still required the pods to be drawn in for jumps - the middle arm structure was removed in the Jupiter Mk II refit.

Mercury Class is a thing of beauty

@michaelkenwell9146 1 year ago

A Mercury Class, it's one of the coolest Sci-Fi capital ships I've ever seen.

This has all happened before, and it will all happen again.

Who else wants to see them make a series covering the original war yes we know how it ends but would still be a successful series. Especially bringing in younger actors to play young Adama

which battlestar would I want to be on? 1st Cylon War Galactica!

@dennisdean7366 1 year ago

Fortunately, Pegasus' computer network was down and the Command Navigation Program was disabled for a refit.

1 mercury (length)= 5 Gerald R Ford carrier's 😊👍 🤔
Damn

There was a S3 or s4 teaser trailer that originally aired that featured a second or two shot of the Battlestar Titan. Of course, we never saw it on screen. Sad days

I like the Valkyrie Class, and that’s what I’d pick to command.

I like how it looks. Although I like how all of them look to be fair.
The Mercury looks like an armoured beast.
The Jupiter has a “Clean” and graceful look to it.
The Valkyrie may be smaller, but it looks fast, agile and aggressive.

It’s reduced armour on the ventral side does pose a weakness, but that reduced mass gives it extra manoeuvrability that other Battlestar classes can’t match, providing unique tactical options in battle.
A mean, lean ship that can provide fast, precision strikes and out-flank the enemy.

It more closely fits the “Style” I’d like to go for.

They named the ship classes after planets of the earth solar system😮

After playing the orion in deadlock, i used it as more of a modern day Destroyer.

Another great video Jack

And if I had to choose one of these leviathans of war to command it would be the Mercury glass hold the command navigation program

WHY DIDNT I KNOW YOU HAD THIS CHANNEL!!

@Allegheny500 1 year ago

I don't know if the visual is from the game, but Galactica as a museum ship was the only Jupiter class to be missing so much outer armor as to look ribbed, the rest of the class should have had fully armored sides.
