Dang this is just the coolest thing, I just hope it was a full movie

Major props to the designer for including radiators! The only other scifi spacecraft design I've ever seen include proper radiators is the Venture Star from Avatar.

Those have to be the most realistic vacuum engine plumes I have seen so far, amazing

"THERE IS NO SOUND IN SPACE!"

"Haha space cannon go

[shivuxdux]

You gotta love guns that make their own “Inception-drone”-esque trailer music.

[Demons]

This is literally the best way to portrait space dogfight with our current technology, just moar boosters and huge RCS thrusters, Kessler syndrome gonna go crazy with those manny stray bullets on orbit tho.

“How did they figure out how to bend lasers?”
“That’s… not a laser. It’s an autocannon.”

I like the huge laser dome at the nose of the ship.

[Bobalicious]

I've always thought that an interesting way of lending sound to the action of a space scene would be from the inside of the ship whilst looking out. You wouldn't hear vibrations in the atmosphere, but instead vibrations running throughout the ship. I'm not sure if anyone's ever tried that approach.

Captain: All stations sound off.
Engineering: Engines at 80% and climbing.
Tactical: Point defenses online and tracking, bow laser engaging incoming fast movers, railgun targeting enemy capship.
Captain: Good, XO?
XO: Playlist No. 12 ready. On you.
Captain: 3, 2, 1 let's jam.

I thought this was KSP with mods at first, and thats a testament to KSP and its modding community

[motog]

I would love to see a continuation of this

[vaughnpatania]

please - more - a whole movie or a series - this looks "chef's kiss"

[stephencarlson]

I take it you've been playing lots of Children of a Dead Earth? I love that game, keep going with this! More! Subscriber #102.

Very cool. That’s a laser on the nose, right? And the heat sinks are awesome. This whole thing is spectacular.

[mark__glass]

I don't think people realism how terrifying actual space combat would be. Yes, naval warfare is awesomely destructive. But you're still psychologically on earth. Out there... whole different internal narrative connecting to your central nervous system... It would be more like submarine warfare on steroids... fearsome... and lonely... and ever parrying the shot that would send you to the void.

[jmdibonaventuro]

Dang! This was so cool I literally said “Oh come on that’s it?” When it ended. Keep it up!

[livethefuture]

this looks like something i'd make in KSP....XD

[luki]

You know guys we could have this IRL if the Space Force would get the Super Orion Battleship that was proposed in the Cold War.
