Honestly this story feels reminiscent of The Rocinante from The Expanse. I feel like reading the books now
WHERES THE DISCORD LEBOWSKI ?
In all seriousness, this was a great Video and I'm looking forward to the next One.
I bet she got the shields off a derelict covie ship or something
Eh, depends on what type of hero we're talking about. Savior of humanity in spaceship form…with the existence of the flood I would argue the Spirit of Fire is the direction humanity should go to save themselves. The smaller ships are cool for "loner" type heroes, but I wanna see more heroes like Captain Cutter, that come with cool ass long term survival type ships. Pillar of Autumn is another example, where it has a lot of jack-of-all-trades underdog energy to it. Ships that can allow humanity to grow while in deep space for years, that can fight a long-term war on their own.
Rock on dude
4:25 Could this nonchalant “shielding” be a writing mistake regarding Energy Barriers?
After the end of Point of Light I’m not sure how the crew will reunite
Lmao the way back machine nice
So the ace of spades is augmented with forerunner tech, that thing is at the least moving millions of times faster then the speed of light, also im gonna guess marathon class heavy cruiser
Didn't know you where a bottom
For me the perfect Hero Ship in the Halo Universe is the Spirit of Fire because it truly represents the human spirit of the Halo Universe. It first was a colony ship which colonized several worlds and it so successful that many recognized it, then it was retrofitted into a massive warship during the Human-Covenant War which was clearly out-gunned by the technological superior Covenant and its crew were outnumbered by both the Covenant and the Flood, through they were instrument in stopping the Covenant early destruction of humanity, and they were left stranded in deep space and were teleported outside of the Galaxy and into the Ark were they will fight for their very lives against a enemy that not even the Covenant could have destroyed, which they were fighting with old tech and a very limited number of crew against a new force that severely out-numbered and with a Warmaster who was a legendary warrior and General that rival the best of the Covenant and the UNSC, yet they still fought and defeated the Banished in a clearly intense battle for the survival of the humans in the Milky WayGalaxy.
Hey i got a question.
Not gonna lie I was expecting/hoping for the Mona Lisa but honestly this ship isn't talked about enough, great work! With all that work ahead of you I'm sure you'll cover it one day.
just finished this series today it was amazing
Technically she is a Spartan. A Spartan 1.1&1/2. 😉
I want this damn ship so badly…Rion’s story was one of my two favorites in the halo universe, the other being the kilo-5 trilogy. Really just the more civilian outer colonies side of the halo verse is just my favorite.
Also I never realized the hinge head from Spartan ops was the same one from the books.
so from what im understanding this is one hell of a hotrod
Halo Wars 3 featuring the ace of spades with Star wars; Empire at war style ship to ship combat would make me gus like a school girl.
I’ll be honest, I don’t care for this ship. While I do think it’s cool to see something from the perspective from a regular person, I don’t care for the Star Wars esc smugglers story.
Also I just down right call BS on the idea of Forerunner tech just improving tech to be better just doesn’t make any sense to me. Your telling me after the unlimited resources the UNSC threw at understanding alien tech some some random ass smuggler has better tech because “reasons” I guess. Yes Forerunner is crazy good but this is just ridiculous.
I write things to myself as Halo related fanfiction. Mostly to play around with ship, armament, equipment, and vehicles. Spark and Little Bit are products of a cruel system. A forerunner system whose defining characteristics were wiping out the precursors, wiping out all life in the galaxy, and those the forerunners lost a war with after killing human alliance with aliens. The humans produced by lifeworkers are different than humans produced by evolution. The humans trapped by composing process and humans reborn thru forerunner technology have to overcome the work of the forerunners to evolve again.
a video on gravitics and maybe a breakdown of a marathon cruiser
Kig'Yar don't really have engineers though, I would think a Unggoy would have helped, since the little fella's are actually really smart, even if they have a short memory. Getting a group of Unggoy to help out wouldn't even be all too difficult.
the books are on my list to read, but first i have to get them, short on cash at the moment
expanded lore on the Spirit of fire? now i know what books to find. I loved the Spirit of fire but idk which books expands on it. thats a lot of books n sometimes the summary isnt enough. I hope the spirit of fire will come back n saved the day someday. was hoping it helped or saved the Infinity but it got downed so…
You'll love the Indelible Six from the Galaxy's Edge series. (Not star wars!) It's a home, a ridiculous good smuggler vessel and goes through a Enterprise-E style refit near the end of the series giving it the ability to murc capital ships. Its about the size of the mellanium falcon. And piloted by a han solo meets Dante from DMC
Don't forget that in Halo:Reach the Sabre fighters you use also had energy shields and that's a pretty small ship.
Ship: *looks like a stack of bricks
GCM: ‘that is a sexy ship’
lol, ok… 😂
Would be cool to play a game based around this ship. Maybe a adventure/rpg game similar to Mass Effect. It'd be nice to see the Halo universe from a more civilian perspective.
A small supernova is called a nova.
Dude spoilers. The last 1:30 I didn’t know you were gonna say something about the ferrets
Nice ship
You forgot to mention Colony still being on the Ark as well
Sweet nibblets
Port Stanley for me
Love the lore no one talks about
What video game is shown before the halo gameplay?
Finally. Someone gets it. The Halo verse has become too expansive to be just spartan centered.
3:10 I instantly recognized the Expanse clip
Wish these smaller other halo storys were shared more they add so much too the lore
Kelly Gay's Rion Forge Trilogy (or whatever want to call it) aren't just good books for Halo standards, they're good sci-fi in general. I love the fact we get to see an independent operator who isn’t UNSC, and the interpersonal dynamics between the crew just feel like TV show material, especially once Spark is introduced.
I don't read much of Halo nowadays- I'm pretty mil-SF'd out after binging a bunch of books I found on Amazon as a way to study their writing and see what did and didn’t work to better my own skills- but Kelly Gay definitely did a great job here. While I don't really like dynastic stories that focus on only a handful of families/lineages/teams in a universe, I love that the death of Sergeant Forge was used as a way to explore what it must have been like for so many of the families the Spirit of Fire's crew left behind. Seeing the post-War galaxy where the fallout of the fall of the Covenant is mentioned and how they integrate (or don't) into the new hegemony of the UNSC/EUG was fascinating and I wish we had more of a focus on that rather than just the Created and the Covenant 2: Brute Boogaloo (not to say the Banished are bad, just that I dislike how they were used to soft reboot the universe for Infinite).
Halo always had trouble with each entry needing to up the last in the stakes but it would have been nice to see something like ONI or the UNSC as the bad guys rather than just "oh no the aliens are attacking us again" or "oh no the AI we built are rising up because turns out they might be pissed with how they're treated as disposable".
Hell, the whole Created movement could have been a predecessor to a human civil war where its the Insurrection But Even Worse. ONI and a lot of the UNSC are morally grey at best and downright horrible at worst; one has experimented and kidnapped children, the other is a military junta.
From a meta point of view, I was more interested and invested in the process of rebuilding and the questions it raised of how to treat the alien species that were once members of the Covenant. The downfall of the UNSC, the UEG, and ONI should have come from their hubris and mirror the fall of the Covenant, not just have their asses kicked in because the plot demanded it. It doesn't feel earned, or shocking. It just feels cynical, like "hey kids remember Halo Combat Evolved? Wasn't that great?" Infinite was just nostalgia bait; it's not just the botched execution of the fall of the Infinity or the Endless, it's the surface-level idea of "Halo is just shooting aliens right?"
Like, there can be stuff like that in a post-war game, but with elements of humanity breaking apart in the background: splinter covenant groups secretly funded by the UNSC so they mantain martial law on some worlds, ONI developing genocidal weapons that cause groups of aliens to rise up for fear of extermination, heck maybe even the UEG funding human supremacist groups that attack and massacre alien settlements that aren't harming anyone.
Well, that turned into a rant/essay.
Why disrespect Troy Denning like that he produced my favorite halo saga, which I dub "The Keeper Saga."
This looks about the size of a frigate! Are you telling me that thing isn't huge?
Ship break down would probably be the Punic class super carrier
I'm still mad at guilty spark for killing my favorite halo character
Man that abandon oine ship looks like the USG ship name I can’t spell
Saddam Hussein is back, and he brought a spaceship.
Basically it's quick and quiet without the ability to punch all that hard which makes it pretty much perfect to mess with anything hostile
I dig your enthusiasm for this cast of characters and their special space boat. 😌
