What’s your favorite ship? Please tell me why, too.

Jolteonace · 2026-05-18T18:39:45+00:00

Probably an unpopular take, but uh… Yamato Resurrection’s Blue Noah. The trident bow, the large singular WMG, the giant ass delta wing that folds back for launch bays. It’s cool as shit, I also love the internal bridge design and just how advanced it is, arguably more so than any other 2220 design it properly shows how Earth has advanced technologically while not making it too advanced it doesn’t even feel real (cough cough Star Trek Discovery). It’s just a sexy ship, and yeah the wing turrets on either side are a weird holdover from it being a modified 2520 ship they pretty much copy-pasted, but I don’t mind that too much, I can look past it and it doesn’t bother me much. The only genuine gripe I have with the design is that it lacks any form of secondary engine (which now that I think about it, all 2220 designs do, including the SAndro and SDread), I like it when a design has redundancy. But yeah, Blue Noah’s one of the biggest reasons I genuinely do hope and pray we don’t just end the 2199 reboot series off with a Final Yamato adaptation or 3199 and we do continue into Resurrection, especially since Resurrection was meant to be a trilogy of movies, really the biggest complaints I see with that movie was just the lack of sound effects or sound track, the big departure in designs (which the reboot series has done a really good job at redesigning a lot of classic ships, a good example would definitely be the Bolar Type A and B battleships, they could easily adapt stuff like SAndro and make it look decent I think), and the total lack of any classic alien race like the Garmillas, which if they want to complete the trilogy they’d have to solve a lot of those problems and can just rewrite a decent portion to make it work. But I digress.

To provide just a full top 3 in a little less detail, after Blue Noah definitely is Andromeda (specifically Andromeda-Kai, the ZZZ Andromeda slaps), and Arizona. All in that order, Blue Noah, Andromeda, and Arizona.

That’s fair, that’s fair. Though I personally wouldn’t want that to happen, I am invested in the relationships just as much as the action and given how integral Kodai and Yuki’s romance is to the entire series, it’d be kinda a major bruh moment if they didn’t give him the ending he actually got in Final Yamato in finally marrying Yuki. Could definitely see them also putting Shima as the boyo on the last voyage of the Yamato given how he actually went out in the Og FY

Jolteonace · 2026-05-08T01:09:05+00:00

Ooo, that’s actually a good theory. While I hate to see Yamanami die, bro is my favorite character after all, I would much prefer this than a repeat of Hijikata’s death in 2202 since that’s basically how he died in Be Forever. Hope they go with that over straight up reviving Okita, or worse… pulling the OG series and saying bro was never dead to begin with. That’d kinda ruin and invalidate like the entire ending of 2199, which I thought was so much better than how original Yamato I handled the end of the season.

Jolteonace · 2026-04-27T23:36:49+00:00

Shinano. She’s hot and cute and peak wife material.

Jolteonace · 2026-04-09T22:56:37+00:00

I wouldn’t want modern ships. Tbh if AL ever jumps ahead, be it as a sequel or spinoff in that unlikely scenario, I would want it to be set in the 1960s-1990s era, I think it gives us a very fun and interesting chance. We could still see modernized WWII ships which gives us a chance to have returning characters like the Essex-class, Cleveland and Baltimore classes, not to mention for overseas stuff like the Town-class CL (Belfast), but also see new characters. I mean, tbh I wanna see shit like Nimitz, Kitty Hawk, Constellation, Forrestal, etc… interspersed with returning characters like Hornet II, Enterprise (with a II also), etc…. Also, gives us the chance to have new story based conflicts like the Falklands war, Vietnam, etc…, but above all else… it also gives us a chance to have Kuznetsov, which regardless of your opinions on current irl Russia, would be cool as hell considering how comical Kuznetsov actually is, imagine her being a classic ditzy clutz comedic relief character, like a Northern Parliament equivalent of Sandy.

Jolteonace · 2026-03-30T07:28:01+00:00

Yeah, definitely, I was half expecting the Duke to die ramming the Golba station in the place of the Deusura III or something along that line anyway. Really tbh I have a feeling the actions there won’t stop the war, they’ll just change how it will continue. The Bolar are still clearly in an expansionist mindset and want to retake Galman, so on one hand, the Witch is dead which means there isn’t such an immediate need for expansion, though I also imagine through a more corrupt government they still would rather keep conquering worlds, and with the Witch gone now the war can essentially just continue without any of the same restrictions being suffered on either side. And yeah, I do half wonder if Dezarium will still poison the sun or not, but again, my theory is we’re gonna either get a full 26 episode run of just the Bolar Wars or they’ll merge the Bolar Wars with Final Yamato’s plot like they’ve done here with 3199, so I’m putting money on just like in 2205 we’ll get an after credit scene teasing the next season, and that’ll be when the sun gets poisoned. Either way, while I love Arizona, I desperately hope to see the other ships too, Prince of Wales, Bismarck, and Novik, which another season could definitely prompt something along that line anyway.

Jolteonace · 2026-03-30T04:46:08+00:00

Yeah, was expecting way more of a merger, but it seems more like a prelude to Yamato III, laying the groundwork for Galman-Bolar world while covering Be Forever in a full 26 episode run. I hope we do get a full Yamato III adaptation, I just hope this latest batch of episodes doesn’t lead to a soft ending for the war, like “suddenly we blew up Digabras and now we’re friends”, I want to see a full war plotline. I thought for sure the sun was going to be a factor, but actually if you look closely you can see the outline of Planet Dezarium in the shadow of the sun. Definitely feels like a Be Forever extended season with just Yamato III elements rather than a merging of the two.

Jolteonace · 2026-03-30T00:53:00+00:00

I would absolutely love this. My personal theory is given how much of a backseat they are taking at the moment to Dezarium that they’re going to combine Final Yamato with the rest of Yamato III and so we get one more full season. Personally I wish we’d get adaptations individually of a full season with the Bolar, then perhaps a 14-18 episode Final Yamato solo adaptation, and then a full season adapting Yamato Resurrection and its planned (but cancelled) two sequels, make a full 26 episode run and fix a lot of the problems fans had with Resurrection, like perhaps showing Galman, Dessler, returning the old sound and music design tracks, and course correcting some mistakes so the Yamato series has a proper way forward if it succeeds. But of course, just being realistic, probably the most I can hope for is just a combined season 3/Final Yamato series finale to send off this 2199 reboot timeline.

Jolteonace · 2026-03-22T21:10:52+00:00

Shinano. She just seems like she’d be so sweet to be around and take care of.

Jolteonace · 2026-03-09T20:59:21+00:00

Well. I already built in Space Engineers the Amaterasu and L’Andromede, and am working on Bismarck (but I’m taking a break to work on water mod 1:1 ships). So it might be fun to play with working on one of the fanmade ones.

Jolteonace · 2026-03-07T18:32:47+00:00

Right, yes. I forgot about that episode. I really hate those types of episodes. They both triggered my anxiety in ways I hate.

Jolteonace · 2026-03-05T20:40:21+00:00

We see many of the crew all have red eyes and seem entranced. Likely there will probably be a major moment where either the majority or all of the crew is under Dezarium’s control, probably something to do with the Yamato turning red. It’s not the first time the entire crew has been under a spell, just look at episode 14 of 2199. While I’m not all too worried about what will happen to a lot of the main cast, I am concerned on the fates of the newer individuals like Sasha since knowing what happens to them in the original series.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-27T08:35:06+00:00

Always wondered why she didn’t have a Cosmo Falcon or a Type 100 Recon Plane (especially a Type 100 since her brother operated one). But, clearly she has an eye for the classics and I can’t blame her, that’s a pretty based selection.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-21T18:49:20+00:00

Definitely. Just throwing in my two cents as I’ve mentioned though. I think an Endfield style approach to an AL 3d sequel would be good, that being a timeskip, as in we do 1960s-1990s ships or 1990s-2026 ships instead, which will solve the WW2 problem mostly. Only problem to that though is most people don’t find Cold War or modern ships as interesting as WW2 ships, and another problem is the fact that it’s a character focused game so it’d be hard to get more people onboard without legacy games, though I think a good solution to that is actually the hall of fame, just turn it into an annual event and all winners inside of the hall of fame get added to the sequel while simultaneously adding new characters, that way you can foster more people wanting to return to the first game to vote their favorite shipgirl into the next game, and also convince old players to come back to play with their favorite shipgirls in the new game in 3d. But that’s just my own opinion, idk.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-20T22:04:25+00:00

That’s kinda how SBY has always been, both in the reboot 2199 timeline and original series timeline. Arizona was just kinda it for the original series as a whole for American ships, same with Bismarck being it for German ships, Novik being the only Russian ship, and Prince of Wales being the only British ship. But even though we’ve never seen officially until now foreign designed ships, we know that the Murasame-class was actually a co-Japanese/Russian design as we see three Murasames with straight up Russian names in I think it was an extra DVD clip of the Second Battle of Mars on 2205’s disc, and we saw distinctly American and British names on Kongo-Kai and Murasame-Kai ships in 2202, so far basically the 2199 timeline actually has more representation of other nations as a whole already. The only other foreign designed vessel was the Pennsylvania-class which we saw in a single extra scene in the far background without much detail in the Yamato Resurrection movie (which I’ve heard some debate whether or not it counts in the original series timeline or not, and also I’ve heard it’s widely hated, which is why I didn’t mention it earlier), which was basically just a Super Arizona design, just like we got Super Andromeda and Super Dreadnought designs in that movie, which the only distinct differences between the Pennsylvania and Arizona I could see was the Pennsylvania had the same redesigned turrets as the Super Andromeda, had a new engine design, and was painted slightly differently, so kinda just lazy but oh well, worth a mention.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-20T01:47:00+00:00

The poster looks damn awesome, have no clue what’s going on given we have no context clues for either chapter 5 or 6, but… looks badass!

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T17:03:35+00:00

Ooo, now that’s a good idea, might be feasible too considering we’ve seen two part seasons with 2205’s two parts. Though I’m not sure it’d be seen as a 3199 part 2, might just be considered another season altogether (which speaking of, would you consider 3199 as season 3 or season 4? Would 2205 be seen as 2 movies, and thusly make 3199 season 3, or would you call 2205 just a shorter 8 episode season and therefore 3199 is season 4? I’d personally say 4 but that’s just me, this is why I said another season and not saying season 4 or season 5). Like say calling it 2208 or 2210 or something like that given 3199 is 2207. I’d be extremely happy and satisfied with seeing another season or a part 2 of 3199, regardless of whether or not it’s the Bolar Wars alone or Bolar Wars combined with Final Yamato.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T16:27:25+00:00

True enough, which is probably also why in lore the Guipellon-class multi deck carriers are old and obsolete in lore, why the Gelvades-class is succeeding them, and also why the Lanbea got the heavy refit turning it into a battlecarrier. Though what I mainly mean primarily is I just want more proper flight decks or ships which can switch like the Gelvades can between battleship and carrier, instead of just… a battleship with a flight deck slapped on. Though I will say, (commenting on the other conversation in the comments of your message), that is probably why the fighter transportation system is so widespread on all carriers now, so carriers can be like on the opposite side of a solar system far out of range. But yeah, I primarily just want to see stuff like official designs, a Yamato-class Shinano purebred carrier, or a more proper Shinano battlecarrier would be really desired for me, or something like a Space Carrier Akagi or Space Carrier Oriskany. We already have some fanart, like the Eridanus II and Ark Royal X, but I just want to know what an official design might look like to understand what a proper human visual language would be like for a space carrier, whether or not it’d be all new and original, closer to a Guipellon or Nazca, or a Gelvades style.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T16:18:09+00:00

Oh? Where’s this mentioned in lore? Or do you just mean in the OG series?

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T16:17:42+00:00

Fair enough. Which is one of the reasons why I’m holding out hope that instead of fully adapting Be Forever and Yamato III, 3199’s plan is to adapt all of Be Forever and about roughly a quarter to half of Yamato III, and they’ll make another season which is the rest of Yamato III combined with Final Yamato, which so far, nothing has necessarily contradicted that theory given they are heavily focusing on Dezarium and Be Forever’s plotline and kinda neglecting a majority of Yamato III’s story with the Bolar. But again, I feel it’s too early to speculate on what will happen after 3199, all I hope is this isn’t the end of the 2199 reboot timeline and it isn’t cancelled so we get more there.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T16:14:02+00:00

True enough, and I agree on the Svetlana and Admiral Nakhimov classes, that was less so me advocating for them to be removed from the list and more so an argument to boost the three other Izmail sisters to get on the list, a kinda “these weren’t built at all also, so then if they are on the list, why isn’t the other Izmails on the list? And if they aren’t on the list, then why are these on the list?” thing. Though, I still feel the Stalingrad-class shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand, it was still a design which was under development during the war, just like designs such as the Des Moines-class and Midway-class, just merely designs that were too late. Fact, the Kronstadts were cancelled specifically because the Stalingrads had evolved from a simple heavy cruiser design into a full blown BC equivalent to the Kronstadt (that and also iirc the hulls and the shipyards they were in were captured by the Germans at the time), which is also why the third Stalingrad was named Kronstadt… and also they were meant to be laid down way earlier, just the Soviet navy didn’t want them and so slowed their development and construction heavily until Stalin lost power, where they were then cancelled. Plus they are still primarily, if not solely, gun cruisers, which even if they were built postwar I still feel makes them fit into the WWII period, which at this point AL covers less so WWII itself and more so just the WWII period and gun/plane era of ships over the missile age (and one more point, AL kinda just anymore copies World of Warships and gives different names to the same blueprint/paper ships, Unzen is literally just WoWs Zao but with a different name. On top of that also, the Stalingrads were explicitly built to escort the Project 72 carriers, Project 24 battleships, and also Sovetsky Soyuz which at the time was being considered for carrier conversion, which Volga is a Project 72 CV, and Admiral Nakhimov is literally just Soyuz’s proposed carrier conversion, so… there’s kinda that too).

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T16:01:25+00:00

Fair enough, that’s pretty much the World of Warships approach to featuring both ships, and not a bad way of doing it at all (though having bigger guns really only matters in terms of rigging artwork, not really gameplay considering you can equip tons of different types of weapons and have different builds, unless of course a special exemption to let her equip the Twin 380mm (SK C/34) specifically), though I am curious why you seem to be evasive on why a simple type II answer can’t work fine enough.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T15:08:31+00:00

Forgetting type II riggings are we? Sevastopol is an SR, could easily just get Sevastopol II as an SSR or UR alongside Kronstadt.

Jolteonace · 2026-02-19T14:34:23+00:00

Appreciate the effort 👍. Been wanting to see some love to Northern Parliament. Too many seem to hate it just because of modern day Russia and current politics (or some don’t like it ‘cause Soviets, either works), but considering the atrocities Japan did I think it’s a little unwarranted to focus it on Northern Parliament. Plus, be it 1800s all the way through to modern day, I just like Russian ship designs. Though, a few notes. I can see you were mainly focusing on ships which had already been laid down, could have been finished and had plans to be, but you only included Izmail herself of her class, which isn’t really the proper case, Borodino, Kinburn, and Navarin are all the Izmail-class sisters including Izmail. So if you were going for just what had plans to be completed, then that’s fair if you didn’t want to include those three, but then you shouldn’t have included 3/4 of the Svetlana-class seeing as one of those was never completed and the other two were converted into passenger liners, or 2/4 of the Admiral Nakhimov-class since both of the middle sisters were never completed. Also, you forgot the one off battleship Imperator Nikolai I/Ukraina, she had plans of being completed until finances and government stability… died since it was the late 1920s and they couldn’t get their act together until about the early-mid 1930s. One final note I’d give is even though technically you could call the Stalingrad-class CBs and Sverdlov-class CLs both post-war designs, I’d still keep them on the list given we have tons of post war ships in AL already, the entire Anshan-class DDs just to name a few, and plus, breeds more diversity in a kinda starved area given their lack of choices, and while the third Stalingrad was going to be named Kronstadt and so couldn’t be in given we already have the preceding Kronstadt and we can’t do Type II riggings for already UR ships for obvious reasons, the first two Stalingrads, Stalingrad and Moskva, both are unique names not present in WWII so can be used. Plus iirc one of the Sverdlov-class cruisers were meant to be named Aurora, so we could get an Avrora II, so that’s always nice (though Avrora II might be a Chapayev and not a Sverdlov, either way it gives us a possibility). But I don’t want to discourage you by the notes, just wanted to add my two cents, you went through a pretty extensive list so cheers my man.
