Because ship designs in space fantasies tend to fucking suck and Halo is no exception.

Its literally hundred years old institutional inertia according to the lore

ships were designed based off tradition not 100% out of practicality
also your 3800 ft long warship is actually a 3800 ft long gun with a steering wheel and crew quarters attached

Post more fictional space warships

Try parallel parking your spaceship without windows. It's not fun.

Nice and practical. Good to go against anyone short of Vorlons or Minbari.

Not a warship, but you get a pass for referencing the best Alien movie.

Except the Covenant build their ships right because they've been doing it for longer.

That doesn't look like Freespace 2.

Space warship design:
>Make sure crew have genetic modifications for living a microgravity life
>Have laser cannon and railguns mounted on retractable turrets on outside of ship
>A cannon/gun on either side to give maximum coverage
>Drones and missiles in ports to be released as needed

He always delivers with major updates, it just takes forever because I think it's only him plus an art guy.
I bought the game like 6 years ago and I don't regret it. He's not patreon begging, or kikestarting, or using steam.

B5 really was cool
Up until it wasn't.

Like how the Minbari War got started. Totally retarded

>SRBs

why?

Built in a year with 1990 tech and launched from a mothership already in orbit.
Suicide mission to boot.

Thought it was 1960s tech

Rejoined eve as now Free to play. Cant even use all my skills on main or even faaaar weaker alt. Fuck eve.

Well the Minbari are pretty retarded. They reee like crazy at Sheridan for destroying one of their warships during the war of totally genocide against humanity.

The book was published in 1985 and set a few years after Galileo arrived at Jupiter (which was 1989)

That's because you have to actually pay to play the game properly. F2p isn't supposed to replace the subscription model, it's supposed to replace the free trial.

Deviant Art has some really good shit

I hated absolutely everything about the Minbari. I hated how JMS kept jerking them off and saying how amazing they were. Felt really fanfictiony.

The Minbari are one of the main reason I think B5 is a second tier show despite many people giving it 10/10

From what I heard from my buddy who was a huge OG Halo fan, it's up there, definitely good for the lore and background at least, but he said probably one of the last of the actually decent novels before things started going south.

Never read it myself though.

15mph speed limits, my dude.

But the front would arguably be the most safe place for the bridge. Nobody is going to launch an offensive when they're being stared down by a MAC cannon.

You mean the one where she gave the clones a song and dance. Also had one of the commandos fall in love with a special Jedi?

how long til we see vatniks/chinks use this clip as proof of "new superweapon USA btfo never recover" like the X-51 slides?

It's a warrior thing like the Maori. I thought it was cool that she gave them a culture. Personalized something that basically could've just been more droids in the movies for all anyone really cared.

Maybe it is a little cheesy, and I probably am too, but I was really digging what she was doing with the Mandalorians before the TV shows dicked it all up. In retrospect maybe the love plot was a little dumb but overall I was a fan of what she was trying to do.

Orientation controls for that kind of setup are actually more complicated than a standard spindle and difficult for people to handle without extensive training in sims. BSG's remake had the right idea, main combat maneuvering is in the nose alongside the guns, you lose that you might as well drop out of the fight anyways

The movie is so so but you need to watch the show for it to really make sense. The is is pretty good if you can get pass the old 90s CG.

I can't get over the graphics for some reason.

Anyone else wanting a Mass Effect-like pc game based on The Expanse series?

Like, a main storyline of fucking up Protogen/Protomolecule and shit, while doing cool sidequests in the Rocinante and letting Amos beat up people on Tycho for information?
