That helix maneuver is a very effective thing. I would use it 20 years ago in a space sim game called "Jumpgate". Continuously adjusting two axes of heading with a combination of pitch and roll while subject to drift is _very_ hard to predict your shots against, even though the pattern is a simple corkscrew. Having the radius expand like Gordon suggested would make it even more difficult, just of a limited duration.

That's a good point. But I think every species in The Orville is kind of a remix of Star Trek's different characteristics. Moclans are like the Klingons when the Klingons are allies to the Federation. Brutals and attached to their traditions. Kaylons are the big cybernetic threat that's looming over everyone, like the Borg. Krills are a kind of mashup between every Trek "recurring villains". -Religious & warlike like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar -Cunning, dark & "politicians" like the Romulans -Business oriented like the Ferengi (The Ferengi were only seen as such for a short time but still) -Deeply xenophobic like the Cardassians. But each of these elements is reorganized, reforged and reused in different ways. Spoiler alert for the remaining part of this comment: Like the alliances of the show. Moclans being kicked out of the unions, going on to rejoin the Krill in an alliance, and then the Union finding common ground with the Kaylon.

it wasn't just spinning, and was actually pretty clever. He was spinning and expanding the rotation of the ship's spin. So, they would avoid the fire of anything targeting where they had been. It wouldn't work for very long, as it would quickly become predictable, however, for a short fight, yeah, it would be handy. Of course, this wouldn't work on anything flying in an atmosphere as you're just asking for atmospheric friction to rip your vehicle apart.

With every episode this show gets better and better. Brilliant work Seth and team restoring my faith in good sci-fi.

Good scene. Good moment of humor from Gordon. Good development for Taleya. Loved her in seasons 1 and 2. Wasn't entirely surprised that things would end up like this but the alternative where they make peace and make googoo would be lame unless they had something big.

One thing I like about Taleya is that she’s repeatedly consistent. I find her views abhorrent, but I fully believe that she believes she is in the right and she’s not just being evil for the sake of being evil. Brilliant actress and character. Having rewatched this episode last night, I really liked how complex her relationship with Mercer and their daughter is. She evidently cares for both to the point she doesn’t want them dead, but also despised what they represent. That’s a wonderfully complex villain.

The expanding helix battle manoever will now be formally taught to all fleet cadets as part of their graduation requirements. 👏

Do you post this in every Orville video? I have seen this or something similar to it many times now.

Orville is a modern copy of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Red alert. Tractor beams. Even got an android.

I have a feeling that in season 4 the union and kaylon will launch a massive invasion on Krill so Ed mercrer can get back his daughter and shutdown Avis rule once and for all

Looks like Gordon has been playing a series of PC-games from the late 20th Century called "Star Wars: X-Wing". However, in these games, the maneuver was called "Corkscrew Avoid" or "Wotan Weave". ;-)

When in trouble, roll away

Love the Orville. They do a great job on battle scenes like this. I only wish they hadn’t followed the TNG template so closely with everyone always flying the ships by pushing lots of buttons.

Hmmm.....logic gap. Bortus feel not well because of the turnings. But in sci-fi-movies starhips have an "intertial damper" to evade that all crewmember get smashed around in the bridge without saftey-belts. If the "inertial damper" works - bortus should have no problem with sharp turnings. If there is no "inertial-damper" all crewmembers without saftey belt should be flying in the air when sharp turning the ship.
