DAMN IT I THOUGHT THE SHORTSWORD WAS A PLANE

[epicowls]

UNSC ships really are one of the most realistic sci-fi ships out there in fiction. I can genuinely see us having stuff like this in a few centuries (even if they are just used for inter-solar system travel)

[ryatt]

I’d never even heard of the Point Blank class cruiser before, it looks incredible. It reminds me of Combine architecture with the odd angles and blue lighting.

[TheDarthChief]

My favorite thing about the Infinity Class is that there is a secret 2nd one out there somewhere.

[inductivegrunt]

I honestly really love the ships of the UNSC. I love how unique and varied they are from class to class and even ship to ship.

[wholechains]

Is it just me or do think that it would be so cool to stumble across an ancient human ship/site in the next or future halo game.

[thegman]

I too, Mark, wish to hear more about the space trucks. I must know if future space truckers still honk their horns when colony ship kids fly past and do the fist pump thing out the port windows.

[DullyDeep]

9:05 I see what you did there. I miss RvB.

[ΒασίληςΒλάχος-τκ]

8:47 it delights me to know that the UNCS has a wet navy, even if an aircraft carrier is the only ship we know of

[CptTaylor]

i like how they blew up the infinite in a cutscene

[willtanker]

I love the idea from the start that we, as a species, will lock in our interstellar status when we refer to the moon as "Luna" seeing as almost every sci-fi property that involves a human race that developed on Earth has done so. Truly a self fulfilling prophecy

[ItsJustVirgil]

9:04 You have EXCELLENT taste. God I loved the Chorus trilogy.

[Dorian_Kellum]

My favorite navy in sci-fi.
I actually really like the Infinity, and I wish we got to see it in action in more good stories. It’s a crime the Spartan Ops opening is all we got of that thing in a fleet battle.

We really don’t have a lot of true space battles in the games. We can see or hear about them happening in the background, but no Mass Effect 3 ending style cutscene of two fleets going at it. Imagine how the opening salvo at Earth must have looked in Halo 2

[tfweeb]

The "Light Battleship" designation of the Vindication-class is a euphemism for being the space equivalent of a Deutschland-class Panzerschiffe...
In other words, a pocket battleship.

[Cooldude-kops]

8:49 yeah, it’s not mentioned much but wet navy ships still exist. Most of them are probably museum ships (such as the by the 2500’s ancient USS Iowa) though there would likely be some modern wet navy ships. Mostly to patrol waters.

Just imagine some wet navy cruiser (or battleship?) defending a port/coastal city from a covenant attack.

[triplebog]

I think an alternative to the "light battleship" implying a "heavy battleship" is that the battleship may have gotten a bad wrap in recent conflict. If, say, battleships went a similar route as carriers during the human covenant war, where they turned out to be way too expensive and slow. The political will may not have been there to rebuild a new battleship, given their so recent failure. So instead, the new ship line was rebranded a "light battleship" to imply more flexibility and speed.

I like stuff like this that alludes to the broader political world and behind the scenes puppeteering that it takes to get a massive trillion dollar spaceship line manufactured

[Gelo]

12:00-12:50was just a whole lot of Prowler greatness

[teamdoghouse]

You once asked in one of your videos whether people would prefer short videos, or longer compilations. I would definitely go with the longer compilation format. Just my personal opinion, but I really enjoy these longer videos discussing the ships from my favorite sci-fi franchise.

[Cooldude-kops]

1:43 Kuushan Shipyards? A homeworld reference? Nice

[ryan_]

Love seeing some of the more niche lore get out there.
Also that crashed ship on C h o r u s looks a little like a Mulsanne at the butt don't it
