Hey it's Ricardo and welcome back to Battlestar Galactica deadlocked season 2
DLC ghost fleet offensive and with the ghost fleet offensive you get some new
ships the first of which I why I discuss in this video is the colonial Orion
which is a recon frigate now after completing mission 6 you then go to a
subsection of the CIC with a different battle table depicting the ghostly not
going to go too much into that just yet but it does allow you to unlock the
colonial Orion and the defender for just a whole 250 250 requisition points there
I was saving them all up thinking skin expensive let's have a quick look at the
model as well okay so the inspect function brings up the model of the
Orion frigate and then you can have a damn good look around of what you're
gonna be flying around it the stats are pretty impressive
however right I mean I gotta say it is pretty lightly armored I'll go through
the stats in a moment let's have a good inspection of the model there it is
doesn't it look like a submarine bit like stingray remember that stingrays
stingrays do do do but yeah you know it does look like a submarine but it's all
about stealth this is you know a light frigate equipped with experimental suite
of ECM jamming equipment you know there's that big array at the bottom now
if you recall we saw this in blood and chrome wear you know and blendin chrome
that was the command ship of the ghost fleet if I recall rightly there was that
grisly old Admiral and it looked very much like an old submarine when you in
there lots of pipes over your head and that sort of thing quite a nice model
got that quintessential sort of like angular shape bit like the old starch at
the next generation phases at the front but you've got that conning tower at the
front which to me whose is stealth I don't know about you but it says
stealth to me what else can you say it's a pretty good model quite impressed with
that so let's have a look through some of the stats and see how they add up to
some of the other more new ships because this is the thing really is it gonna be
worthwhile having yes it's new and shiniest night and we've seen this with
a lot with leak dangerous here's a new ship is it any good
what can you use it for is it going to be just a multiplayer ship for those you
can remember from blood and chrome I mean the ghost fleet was this grizzled
old hidden fleet there's our ship we're talking about their center screen it's
they're all over the Battlestar Galactica deadlock paraphernalia you
know you can see the big sensor array at the bottom and has a better picture
coming up now see of it looking like a submarine using stealth let's take a
look at the specs for the Orion frigate now as you say it looks very much like a
submarine however the fleet point 950 that's quite
a few considering it's very lightly armored you know 50 40 30 on the sides
40 on the top and bottom 50 on the front compare that to a Heracles gunship where
the front is heavily armored it's quite light even for the Atlas carrier I mean
it's one of the lighter ships you can get just checking now Minotaur gunship
Ranger Cruiser is better all right so it's been better than the Celestra
support ship adament frigate is quite heavy armored as well it's like a
berserk it's effectively a berserk carrier right so if you look at the
berserk carrier as well in its design a bit more streamlined okay lots of guns
right this where's it gone Orion frigate let's inspect gun again you know again
nice and curvy very much like a submarine
Ollis jamming staff down the bottom obviously hmm I don't know guns at the
back let's go back carry on reading okay dradis range who's got a big dradis
range compared to some of the others 4,000
you know you what's the Battlestars got 5,000 so it's got range pretty much like
a Natomas Battlestar 4 dradis range so okay that's great
FTL cool down two turns okay speed and written 75 so it's not
particularly you know fast right but it's good enough for turns to reload
those munitions for turns you know compared to where's the Ranger 2 turns
on a ranger for tunes on a Yanis cruiser Yanis cruiser you know so okay fair
enough so elements like turrets advantage
munition Salvin Salvage size is the advantage so okay 20 guided missiles
penalty damage reduction and squadron evade so can it be awkward crew veteran
see bonuses you get a maximum distance and your control and it says the Orion
is a light frigate fitted with an experimental suite of ECM jamming and
stealth technologies it is a fast all-rounder is pretty quick with light
armaments yes and Viper launch tubes while the ECM stealth system is active
hostile fire control and long-range sensors are unable to lock on to the
Orion even once the ship has breached dradis Ranger has been identified the
Orion has found a second life as a forward Scout late in the Cylon war it
was previously derided as a pocket Battlestar
due to multiple failed operations is being ill-equipped to end take well
pocket Battlestar a probably a command ship as we saw in blood and chrome but
we will have to see how much damage this thing can do with the ECM mode switched
on fire our Rockets put you back on again and do a Foxtrot Oscar
well after sea like I say very much like a submarine very nice okay that's the
Orion frigate thanks very much for watching this video this is one of the
new ships that we've had on Battlestar Galactica deadlock ghost fleet offensive
now as we said the colonial Orion recon frigate is a light frigates equipped
with the experimental suite of ECM jamming technologies able to protect
itself from hostile dradis sensors the Orion can lay in wait maneuver for the
perfect torpedo angle and then speed away well we're gonna see it's got 70
he'll very lightly armored very light on the weapons on the top but a great big
whopping array on the bottom as well let's see what it does in battle when we
see it saw in blood and chrome let's see if it's any good
I've been Ricardo thanks for watching check back for more videos in the series
