Whether it is George Lucas’s fantasy-style X-Style, such as World War II Combat crafts, or the most measured approach to shows such as Battlestar GalacticaSpace fiction spatial battles feel more towards fantasy than reality.

The exception is The extensionA 2015 hard science fiction series based on a strict dedication to realism.

The ships or The extension Operate according to technology that is real in the near future of humanity.

That means there are no magical energy shields, hyperspace or super blasters units.

Packing The extension Fight in emptiness of space using weapons based on ammunition such as missiles and rail guns.

The extensionHandicraft does not have fantastic gravity or scientists that annul the technology of science. They deal with real Newtonian physics and the way in which G forces impact moving objects along with the fragile human bodies within them.

The program approach creates complex spatial commitments that involve savings of attack and countermeasures, since the opposite forces are riding for the position in the dark of space, fighting against the limits of physics to achieve victory.

And the result of this approach is a series of space battles, unlike anything else, you have once turned on the screen.

So be sure that your sofa is played and prepare to pull a serious GS.

Season 1 Episode 4, “CQB”

It was episode four of The extensionInitial season that gave us our first sample of the program potential.

The great battle of the episode takes place from the perspective of the donation, the largest and largest battleship, humanity is capable of producing.

A Donnager class is credal for hundreds and weapons covered.

It is so great that it carries other smaller corvette class warship inside it.

This is how Captain James Holden and his friends on board the Rocinante end. The now iconic ship was originally a corvette trapped inside the donation and called Tachi.

It is believed that superiority believed that superiority is quickly demonstrated as the ship faces a surprise attack of six stealthy ships.

Initially confused with a single boat, the attackers were divided into multiple ships, launching a coordinated alluvion.

Despite the formidable weapons of the Donnager, which includes numerous defense guns and rail guns, the advanced technology of stealthy ships allows them to evade countermeasures and deliver critical damages, disabled the Donnager reactor and compromising their structural integrity.

Holden and his crew flee from the ship in a Martian corvette found in Donnager’s launch bay, escaping by little from the destruction of Donnager.

Season 5 Episode 10, “Nemesis Games”

In the episode of season 5 “Nemesis Games”, the Rocinante crew faces a fleet of 5 ships and victories.

The Rocinante, still recovering from a previous and low commitment in ammunition, is pursued by a free army squad that includes five ships with two Martian ships and three Belter ships.

Before Captain Holden de Rocinante can put an action plan, all hell is unleashed in the Free Fleet of the Navy.

The former Holden Ally Kamina drummer has been pressed in service against his wishes, on the ship of the Free Marina recovered Tynan. She pushes and takes control.

The drummer triggers a missile save to the Koto destroyer, distracting him enough time for the Rocinant to enter an effective range for the ship’s railway. The Koto is disabled by Roci’s upper weapon.

The drummer orders his loyal ships to retire. One, the Mowteng, leaves the battle.

The heavy frigate Serrio Mal is fighting the Rocinante on his own, but the smallest missiles of the Roci cannot cross the most powerful ship’s defenses.

The other ship led by the drummer is an armed rescue ship called Dewalt, and joins the fight on the rocinante side by firing all its missiles at the same time addressed to Serrio Mal Ultra Chief.

This distracts the enemy ship, enough for the rocinant to close the distance and destroy its reactor with railroad explosions

Every detail of this battle is thought perfectly, to the small engine flare that uses the ship to counteract the strength of its riel gun shot.

There is no show, but the expense would go back to so many problems to do everything right.

Season 2 Episode 2, “Doors and corners”

Our heroes identify Thoth Station as the installation of clandestine protogen responsible for the horrible experiments of protomolecules, the same horrors that began the plot of the show.

To approach without being detected, the Rocinante hides himself, the cargo man of Grandfather Molinari, exploiting his radar firm. As they approach the station, the Rocinante separates, drifting in silence to maintain the surprise element.

Thoth Stations Defense includes the Osiris, a signing frigate of amun-ra class and an antiateroid cannon. When detecting the ships that are approaching, the Osiris launches torpedoes to the Guy Molinari.

The Rocinante intercepts, depending on its PDC to neutralize the threat. There is a fierce dog fight, the duration that the Rocinante supports the damage to a propeller on the side of the port, which forces him to look for coverage behind the stations ring.

Simultaneuosly, two rape pods transported by grandfather and detective Miller to Thoth station are launched.

Amos Burton, aboard the Rocinante, repairs the damaged propeller, allowing the ship to maneuver and destroy the stations cannon, clearing a path for the remaining capsule to move, allowing Miller and its equipment to reach its goal.

Season 6 Episode 3 “Immolation”

The best battle of The extension He is one of his smallest and also the shortest.

But the details involved and the tactical skill on display are some of the best ever captured on the screen.

Marco Inaros, leading a free marina flotilla in El Rocinante and gives persecution.

Inaros is commanding the pella, a light cruise that surpasses the closer spr. Hey, also has two other ships with him.

Rock can only be a corvette, but it is not a normal corvette. She rides a riel gun, a gun usually considered too large for a ship to be size.

Inaros attacks the Rocinante with missiles, and the Roci defends them with fire of their PDC.

The riel gun is oriented forward and can only be triggered forward, but the rum is fleeing, which puts Marcos and its fleet behind them

The captain and pilot of Rocinante, James Holden, turns his ship around 180, shooting a single railway round from outside the normal effective range of the weapon. Then, I immediately execute another 180 to put the sprinkle ongoing again.

Since the rail gun shoots from outside its effective range, referred to the extension as “Hammerlock”, Inaros should have enough time to avoid the railroad slug, but they are surprised.

The round riel pistol round is connected and paralyzed one of the free blue navy ships. Another remains to give help, leaving only the pella still in persecution.

The two ships exchange torpedoes, but Neith can cross the PDC fire of the other.

PDC means Point Defense Cannon, and that is exactly what they are.

They are never used as offensive weapons, considered too slow for offensive use in the permanent distances of space.

It is then that the Rocinante gunner, Bobby Draper, realizes a defect in the pella pilot.

By evading its missile attacks, the pella always dodges the port.

That means they can predict where the pella will be when they shoot on it.

Bobbie cancels the automated controls in the Roci PDC to shoot them in an empty space, pointing to where he predicts that the elusive pella.

She triggers a missile save, and the pella dodges Port, directly in the Rocinante PDC rounds.

The pdc fire of the spray crosses the pella, disabled the ship.
