hello it's ricardo and welcome back to battlestar galactica deadlock
i'm here taking a look at the modern ship pack and the new ships that have been put in not only
on the colonial side but now the cylon side as a result of which i'm here in a quick skirmish mode
create a new fleet and i'm going to select cylon now with the modern ship pack cylon
ships include a cylon modern base star command ship which unlike their predecessors these base
stars relied solely on missiles and fighter deployments for protection but these modern
base stars utilize an organic hull resin which allows structural damage to be repaired quickly
the cylon guardian bay star is a based prototype although in development it's shrouded in secrecy
it's the one that escaped from operation raptor talon that was seen at the end of blood and chrome
and it's got a hybrid prototype and loads of centurions expect some boarding there and of
course also the modern raider the modern cylon raider that we saw in the ron moore
vision of battlestar galactica so here we go modern baster uh let's add one of those in there
it is there's the quintessential look we know from the tv series with the rotating triangles what can
you have in it you can have guided missiles uh projectiles comet pcms all these cluster nukes as
well that you can add to it also you've got raider prototypes you can also have the modern raider
uh now that adds an additional 80 points to your fleet cap as well okay so you know
you're chipping away at those 16 thousand fleet points but we're going to go full-on modern raider
okay modern raider and modern raider and modern raider okay let's add another ship what have
we got well there's a guardian baster okay 1900 fleet points it's not bad not bad at all and these
this is the second base there that you can possibly get it says although the development of
this space style is shrouded in secrecy blah blah blah blah blah the existence of the guardian base
there was witnessed and recorded by members of the crew of the battlestar galactica and were again
more than 40 years later following the fall so let's add that in there it is look you know
similar very similar and you can see how that would have evolved
um over several years again you know you can add it up what can you get with the guardian based out
well you've got guided missiles two missile slots and three slots for um for raiders okay so we got
one two three four slots on the modern baster okay so um we're going to go ahead
and really just look at what squadrons we can fit i noticed this as well with the colonials with the
modern bass star you can add the modern fighter with the guardian bass star you can't because it
was set in an era before that existed so you're basically stuck with fighters of that generation
not to worry though um all good it just means that we're going to add some more modern base stairs
and add another one i think it's our base stars everywhere you know
why not um right let's have a look what that looks like in game
let's continue ready
because i really am interested to see how this is being rendered i was very impressed with
the colonial ships the colonial ships were rendered absolutely beautifully
and as a result of which you know the cylon ones are very streak sleek and streamlined
okay
so the colonial side there was the mercury class the valkyrie class and the viper mark 7
oh when we're not disappointed are we everybody from battlestar galactica land
look at that let's take a look at the new ship and what you can do with it so we've got
a tactical jump we can jump anywhere within a boundary so we'll have a go at that
um we've got hack and you can change your system processes as well let's look at this one um what
else we've got tactical jump munitions okay we can fire our missiles off we know this
um system processes again you can increase processes to for example
fire control the expense of everything else do more damage distribution complete you said uh
in addition to that then again we can repair some sub-systems like we see on other ships and launch
our squadrons so we'll launch all our modern raiders just so we can see what's going on there
uh and again you can hack at the ships that are nearby so that's good let's look at this guardian
base star what can this do predictive augury don't know what that is
ah that basically predicts what that ship is reveals it so you can get your missiles
off quickly that's quite good again you've got squadrons repair systems and turrets
uh focus fire on that munitions let's fire everything launch sequence activated
um yeah great repair subsystem i do like the look of this one though i really do like the look of
that look at that isn't that just beautifully rendered and imagined in this game i think it is
um we're not going to launch that because i want to see my other raiders so let's end turn
and see how things go
like so i've jumped that's great covered the crown really quickly
i fired all my missiles off at that initial base there that's great um
got three turns now for the uh launch sequence activated ftl drives to spool
great calculating let's uh
take that out and then what we'll do is we'll take a look at the modern raider now we can see
a silhouette of it there look yes we know where they are and you can see the very sort of like
claw and hook version of the radio it'd be interesting to see this
um in the replay so what i'm going to do i'm going to complete this
mission hopefully the best i can and we'll come back in the replay so here i am in the replay
there's our guardian battlestar uh baster firing missiles there's the view of the raider
a few tactical jumps there let's click pause and whizz around
yeah and it is it's exactly how we saw it in the in the game you know i mean the graphics are
amazing on it it's been really well rendered um let's take a look down now at some of the others
that's our opponent here's the guardian baster of ours take a look at the top
you can definitely see a you know a design evolve from that
let's look at some readers
and we had a bit of a look as well yeah they're the typical claw
we've grown to expect from a cylon raider let's go into photo mode
where have they gone where they go
save the screenshot of those quite a nice backdrop as well make a change from the black that's what
i like about battlestar galactica deadlock let's move over take a screenshot at that
but really what i want is the quintessential look here of all these base stars
and we'll get a screenshot of that as well i think what we'll do we'll um
get rid of the cinematic bars
a little bit of a vignette on it uh and then with the color again we'll riching up the temperatures
and get that screenshot might even use that as the icon as well for our thumbnail
although that's quite good as well and the game has just crashed have found some stability issues
with um the version of battlestar galactica deadlock i've fed it back to my contact
at slytherin games as well who said they'll pass it on to the developer see how you get on with it
i've been finding um crashes like this in regards to photo mode and in some parts of the game so
very important save your game fortunately though um that's not going to bother us because i've
basically done what i want to do i've got my pictures so despite this crash i managed to get
some pretty good pictures we can barely see the raiders there you know but a fantastic you know
galactic backdrop with a nebula behind and here we can see the guardian baster in all its glory
and then following on from that we've got a bit of a montage of the battle that was going
on with the modern base stars as well thanks for watching i've been ricardo this has been
battlestar galactica deadlock and the modern ships pack we've looked at the cylons this time
not the colonials check out the video on that like and subscribe and i'll see you soon
you
