I love how Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock is such a solid, flexible game that you can use it get so much show footage. Such a good game.

You know, you can see the Valkyrie as a strip DOWN of the traditional Battlestars OR you can also see it as a buff UP of the Adamant frigate which is one of the most versatile and useful ships in Deadlock. I frequently found myself thinking "Gee if I could just put some Battlestar artillery and some flak defenses onto the Adamant I could build see myself building whole fleets made up entirely of them!" Apparently Colonial command agreed.

So that's the surprise ship. Always love using them in Deadlock. Their design is also sleak as hell

Battlestar Galactica continues to be my favorite sci-fi franchise ever.

@moteroargentino7944 5 years ago

Imagine a more technical and grounded Battlestar series. For instance, this ships wouldn't need to be in the same axis like in Star Wars, and two Valkyrie class battlestars could fly "belly to belly" covering their weak spot.

It always seemed unforgivable to me to expose that much the FTL drives, given how important they are. Even more than the sublight engines.

I love this ship! In Deadlock, it really proves that these ships are small but definitely worthy of the battlestar label. I always thought it was an evolution of the Adamant frigate

the editing improvements are STRONG in this one.

Seriously, I know you said there were be editing improvements some time ago, but this was the first video I REALLY noticed it. Hats off mate.

Nice to see Deadlock's filming mode is doing its part lol. Best update to the game imo

Just got Deadlock on Steam. The Val has quickly become one of my favorite ships to fly in any video game.

I’m glad to see the smaller size quoted here - online there is a wide range of sizes quoted - up to almost as big as Galactica, but it’s clear from the launch tubes that this ship is far smaller.

@Dr.ArielFinch 5 years ago

Absolute favorite Battlestar design-wise and in concept. Not heavy like a Mercury or particularly reliant on fighters like a carrier, but its presence simply can't be ignored and agility cannot be discounted. Do not regret my buy of Deadlock.

@Nicdomi 5 years ago

Very happy to see you mention the launch tubes.

One thing that I took from the official meshes (not the game footage that has monstrously oversized guns on her) of Valkyrie was that compared to the larger Jupiter class, she seemed more like an escort with numerous rapid fire, smaller caliber guns, much like Atlanta class light cruisers of WW2.

@richardched6085 5 years ago

One of my favorite ships in BSG!

@ronin3381 5 years ago

I love the Deadlock music in the background. That game has some seriously awesome music.

@IIIJG52 5 years ago

More of this.

Also always love BSG deadlock for background footage... Such a beautiful game with its designs.

"Wait one, Yashuman, i'm going hot"

That quote has a story to tell, its such a shame we didnt get to see some of that between Valkyrie and Yashuman in the BSG reboot series. Some comm chatter in the CIC of each ship showing the horror and confusion.
Anyone else think the same?
