    For those wondering, I do have a separate video on solo ship arrivals. If you are interested, the link is at the end of the comment. I'm not doing this as self promotion, but to reduce the comments asking about single ship arrivals, such as the Pegasus's and Enterprise E's.

    The increadible Battle for Sol in Mass Effect 3 demonstrates why I hate the Battle of Exogol despite them being very similar in concept. The combined fleets in ME were put together after months of diplomacy, fierce fighting, planning and co-ordination. So the pay-off from seeing the results of your dozens of hours in game, is amazing. Very satisfying. The 'Galaxy Fleet' in RoS on the other hand was basically put together in an afternoon and brought in as a completely unbelievable shock reveal. Just feels hollow. There's only so much I can suspend my disbelief...

    Technically, by 20th Century large navy standards (USN, RN, IJN) a division of ships is 2-5; a squadron is two or more divisions; a flotilla is two or more squadrons; a fleet is two or more flotillas for about 32+ ships. By 18th-19th Century standards a “full” fleet had three squadrons, the Van(guard), the Center, and the Rear(guard) commanded by a Vice (Van) Admiral, an Admiral, and a Rear Admiral, usually with about 4-8 ships under the direct command of each, for about 12-24, although there might only be two squadrons (and admirals, of various grades). Suffren’s “fleet” in the Indian Ocean was really nothing more than a squadron of about 4-8 ships-of-line. Public knowledge has plummeted so badly in the last 50 years that even reporters (who should know better) have taken to calling anything gray that floats a “battleship” and more than one a “fleet”. Science fiction and space fantasy have perverted terms out of all recognition with the label “battlecruiser” slapped on ships haphazardly with little awareness that such a ship was fast, heavily armed and WEAKLY protected. Star Wars perverted the term “destroyer” from an escort (“torpedo boat destroyer”) into a capital ship. The term “dreadnought” has lost all meaning as well, having originally meant a capital ship with a uniform armament of the heaviest weapons available with no intermediate sized weapons between that calibre of weapon and purely defensive armament. Post-WW2 glorification, and historical misinterpretation of Taranto, Pearl Harbor and Kuantan has also imbued the term with an air of obsolescence that belies the fact that these ships were the ne plus ultra of the early 20th Century. Also lost is the fact that at Kuantan and even as late as 1944-1945 it was taking the effort of an entire fleet of carriers to bring down the largest modern ships of the type. Taranto and Pearl Harbor proved nothing other than any ship of any type can be sunk at anchor or at pierside, especially if taken by surprise. Kuantan proved 80 peasants could overwhelm 2 knights…especially if the knights were armed only with daggers and the peasants with spears, which would be a fair analogy for the relative effectiveness of the two capital ships AA in the battle…which distinctly contrasted with the AA firepower of modern American battleships less than a year later.

    You’re completely misunderstanding the carrier vs. battleship matchup. The fact it takes a ridiculous amount of aircraft to sink battleships is irrelevant because the battleship can only defend itself and has basically no offensive capability against an aircraft carrier, simply because it can’t get close enough to open fire. THAT is why battleships are obsolete and why carriers rendered them obsolete. Surviving is not the same thing as actually doing your job. Your peasants vs. armoured knights analogy is misleading for that reason: what it ACTUALLY shows is that armoured knights vs. Peasants armed with long-range weapons and horses of their own will at best result in the armoured knights surviving but without being able to kill any of the peasants.

    In the sci-fi Pentalogy I'm writing, I am relatively picky about my terminology for groups of ships, and ranks. Of course, some of my definitions of smaller ships (scouts & corvettes are a little squishy), but I am fairly picky also about the naming convention for different levels of ships. (If you know the naming convention, you could see the name of a ship and know whether it is a battleship, cruiser, destroyer or other)

    An interesting comparison here. Serenity had a 40 million dollar budget (and spent 39 million of it), a year of production time, and has at least a dozen different ship types in clear view. The Rise of Skywalker, with a 400+ million dollar budget, 2 years, and a fanbase with scads of high resolution ship designs they'd gladly sell rights to use, had to reuse assets for the primary enemy ships (old Imperial 1's scaled 50% bigger because they made a model for Rogue 1), and extensively copy pasted ships to fill out the count, including ships that made no sense but they had models for, like Han's cargo hauler, and kept most of them at arms length.

    I think that what makes a fleet arrival scene meaningful is when you're not expecting it, or there's lots of emotion/meaning behind it. Now I'm a Star Trek guy myself, but my top arrival would probably be the galaxy fleet arriving at Exogol followed by the Cali Class ships protecting the USS Cerritos. I like how in the first one, the galaxy essentially bands together and stops living in fear of the empire to confront them and save the day, while in the latter the Cali classes (which were due to be mothballed and generally seen as being low powered, low-tier starships) arrived to show that their true strength lies in the bond the crews have as a ship class (which was slowly built up over the seasons while also setting up the Cerritos to be the hero of the ship class), so the fact that everyone came in to save the Cerritos at that moment was pretty meaningful from a story telling standpoint, and unexpected from an audience standpoint.

    The final showdown between Vorlon and the Shadows as pretty fucking epic. You had two of the most advanced species running head to head at each other. Only for the League of Worlds to tell them to fuck off out of here. When the Shadows or the Vorlons went to attack the flag ship that held the Captain of B5 on it. The league ships would suicide their ships to protect him. So while it isn't so much a fleet arriving as it is a completely underpowered fleet. Stepping up to the two strongest fleets in the galaxy.

    Firefly (Serenity) as number one is a great choice, it is as unique as the show itself. But Babylon 5 is my personal favourite. Maybe because there was no need to fire a shot after arrival.

    @@Mithguar Just for context. Humans had just gotten out of a war with a species known as the Dillgar. The League of Worlds called on earth to step in. We did earth kicked the shit out of that species to the point they went extinct. A couple of years later. Earth forces ran into the species known as the Minbari. Who did not fuck with other species and let them do their own thing. Well Minbari warrior cast has tradition they follow. They like to show strength in greeting. They opened up all their gun ports in a show of strength. The earth ship it had encountered took it as a threat. Earth opened fire. So Earth opens fire they end up killing the Minbari leader Dukat. If you know that name Star Trek used it too. Just google DS9 copying B5 there is a whole problem. Anyway so they killed Dukat well yup they killed the Minbari leader. Not only was he their leader he was the leader of the religious cast. The final vote to go to war with Earth was the lady seen here. She voted with kill them all. Which is what the Minbari did. At first they hit everywhere humans were. Eventually they stopped hitting colonies and just focused on going to Earth. Their plan was to hit Earth destroy their main support for the military and circle back and wipe the rest out. The plan worked they pushed the military all the way back to Earth. In which they called on everyone. Military, civilian and merchants. If you had a ship if you were brave. Hold the line till we can get as many survivors as we can get off the world before they arrive. The battle of the line happened. Some plot device shit goes down. Don't want to spoil it as it is major plot element to one of the characters. The minbari surrender. Earth gets a big ego about itself. Fast forward years later. After number of the peace stations known as the Babylon project failed either destroyed or vanished. B5 was made and succeeded. Second season rolls around. The Minbari picked the commander of the space station the first time. When he was called to the Minbari homeworld to be a diplomat. Earth wasn't playing around and appointed a new commander a captain. This captain happened to be the only captain to ever destroy and get a victory in the Earth Minbari war. So they assumed homeboy hates the Minbari and is totally loyal to Earth. Well he is loyal to Earth just that he believes in freedom. So when Earth broke off from its values and became a dictatorship. This captain told Earth to go fuck itself. So the Minbari who need the space station for a war that is coming. Tells Earth to go fuck itself too and step up if they think they can.

'Only one human captain has ever survived battle with the Minbari. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.' Humans destroyers leave....

    @@kevsecker3182 It sucks the show was always on the cutting block. For 5 seasons they never knew if they were going to get anther season. So JMS had to write according this is the last season. So even though he took chances with getting renewed. He knew season 4 was the last and that was it. So he rushed the Shadow War and Earth War to its conclusions. You know full well if he had a 5 season already green lit he would have waited and drawn out the conflict. But man season 4 finishing up all those storylines. It's such a great fucking final season to go out on. Season 5 not so much but B5 is peak Scifi seasons 2-4.
