nah makes sense hull integrity just means how long until the ship is gonna fall apart, its damaged but it has stabilized to a point the ship is mostly fine...
@@RetroBadgerGaming It could be a game-logic thing. You know, where the physical structure (HP) of a ship is instantly 100% after it goes from combat mode to RP mode.
@@That80sGuy1972 It's because the ship's health bar is at 100%, but the Sovereign is modded to have ablative armor that isn't taken into account by the voice lines.
Starfleet likes to keep their ships up-to-date in terms of weaponry. Newer ships mostly seem to have an advantage in terms of speed and maneuverability.
Ambassador class was classified as a Heavy Cruiser and was designed while the Federation was still in conflict with the klingons. It’s a shame we didn’t see more in cannon but these ships easily outclassed a excelsior class ship and were still designed in a period of war so they were focusing on the war ship aspect still. Minus there slightly smaller size and power core the design was solid and superstructure definitely rivalled that of most star fleet ships. Still my favourite design of any of the Enterprises.
@@RetroBadgerGaming I'm pretty sure if the crew of Voyager had a Sovereign class ship over an Intrepid.... their time in the Delta Quadrant would have been a lot shorter and a lot less painful 😂
Odds are for an “in canon” explanation would be that this would’ve been around the time of the dominion war which every ship in service was upgraded past original design specs. New warp cores, shields, phasers, and torpedoes. Those would be a mandatory upgrade for wartime refits.
Whatever you do….. be sure to continue facing your weakest shields at your enemy. And don’t be afraid to fight in three dimensions, yaw pitch roll, X Y and Z axis’s
The Ambassador Class are tough as nails ships.. crikey... you threw everything at them and they still kept going... Well done Captain... Recommendation for Admiral with this fight.. eehh... just saying.. Well done!
This just makes me wish we’d get more ambassador class love on tv. Still think a (original timeline) new series based on the New Frontier novels would be awesome!
As far as I know the Sovereign was built more for combat than previous ships. Why not put pulse phasors like Defiant has on either side of the deflector array and maybe another set on the back between the pylons. Would make a head to head pass even more deadly, especially against smaller targets
I think pulse phasers are meant for small, maneuverable ships since you have to fly the ship like a fighter to line up the shots. Not really suited for capital ships like the Sovereign.
@@waltermcgarvin8001 Pulse phasers seem more of a fixed mount weapon. Normal phasers used to be turrets and eventually switched to the newer strip mounts, so maybe at some point.
@@WUZLE if they were on a track system could be used like the turrets on the original BS Galactica. Plus how many times do they show close passes by enemy ships in both shows and movies.
'Hull integrity at 100%' Oh really?! I suggest that officer check again, and this time look at all the holes where ship used to be and all the crispy bits which should not be burned.
A.I. level was high but they missed a LOT of torpedoes when you weren't targeting them and they had you lined up.. I think if they had as good as accuracy or even close to what you had. The outcome would have flipped
Kinda odd that Star Trek never showcased CIWS or interceptors to take out incoming torpedoes. You'd think that super advanced computer cores in Federation vessels could calculate interceptions with the phaser arrays.
The shields on the Sovereign are very strong aren't they? I don't know if you think it's a waste of time, but in battle if (say like at 5:45, and your starboard shields are at 100%) I would put my starboard side to the enemy ship for a while as that side will withstand a little more? Like Riker does in Nemesis when the other shields are compromised and he ordered to keep the bow to the Scimitar where the shields are strongest. Does anyone do this, or is it not worth it, does anyone think?
@@RetroBadgerGaming I know what you mean - it's easy for me to say how to co-ordinate a battle that I am not fighting! Sometimes there's so much going on that you can't monitor every panel whilst attempting to get a solid torpedo lock as well. I've always loved this game - it's absolute quality. When it came out it was what I was dreaming of since I'd watched and loved the battles of TOS and TNG when I was young!
Not necessarily: Starfleet, as much as they pretend otherwise, is a military, and their ships are all built with combat in mind. Also, being outnumbered is never a good thing - a fleet of outdated warships surrounding a single ship can be a definite threat. That said, he should have performed better: after damaging the port/forward section of the phaser array, he kept maneuvering so that the Ambassadors were directly in his blind spot.
@@nomenomeha30anosatras33 Keep in mind that ENT Era Starfleet was pre-Federation: there was no tech sharing between species, no major cold wars compared to what we see during the Federation/Klingon cold war of the 2240's - 2280's. Even the Earth-Romulan War hadn't yet happened. None of the ENT ships were combat optimized. The NX Class itself was a retrofitted science vessel, not a warship like the Constitution Class.
It is a warp plasma leak from one of the damaged warp nacelles. If you target it in time, you can cause a chain reaction which leads back to the ship and sends it flying out of control!
Why are you continue to face your port side towards the enemy the majority of time despite having lost all port main weapons after the collision? Starboard phaser banks were idling the whole time.
Are you controlling the ship? If so there are some much better combat maneuvers, such as full reverse to back away from the target and using it to "drift" your ship....Start going full impulse and once the ships you are targeting moves off your firing arc hit full reverse while turning to drift the ship around and keep you weapons locked longer. I was kicked off sto for using all the rcs consoles and making my ship move like one 80% smaller and people kept reporting me for using mods! I'm a Master at controlling cars, trucks, planes, choppers and starships... in games of course on the starships lol. I think I learned at a young age on how movement and physics work, hell I drive 300 miles a day 4 days a week like a stunt driver for a dental lab... I don't have to drive with the skill of a rally racer but I do.... Mostly to keep from getting killed by others that Can't Drive! I got to learn to fly when I was 17 working at the local airfield and if I had the money I'd have gotten my license to fly. I wish I could prove my skills in real competition and not just games. I was born with a spine disorder that makes even breathing hurt now so racing, flying or anything I'm good at is something I'll never get the chance.... I'm happiest when driving my car over a 100mph or when showing off my flying skills on a simulator game. If you need any tips, I'm more then happy to share my knowledge on all that moves fast both in the real world and in games.
Thanks for the ship control tips! That's surprising about STO. Guess it's like the same rule with casinos, if you win too much they ban you,haha! You are very lucky being taught how to fly! Sorry to hear about your Spinal disorder. I hope it can be cured someday.
"Hull integrity at 100%."

One quantum torpedo sound take out an ambassador class easy.
@@RetroBadgerGaming how about sovereign vs 3 Cheyenne class ships
Captain "Damage report."
Crew "Our bridge didn't burst into flame and sparks so I think we're good."
And no flying rocks on the bridge!! Lol
If your port Phaser array and quantum torpedoes were not offline this fight would have been faster
Considering what an absolute Beast the Sovereign class is, I'm amazed the Ambassador class ships did as well as they did.
They made sure that history would never forget....the name - AMBASSADOR!!
That was definitely a tough fight. It is not surprising that the Sovereign dispatched all 3 ships though.
soverign looks like it just came from voyager's year of hell

Not unless it was an Tuesday when Cpt. Janeway got her vessel. Then everything would be ready to go.
Would be nice if you could target sections. Like nacell pylons, the necks.
HULL INTEGRITY AT 100%! he yelled over the bellowing gale of oxygen escaping the ship through cavernous holes.
"eVerYtHinG iS fInE!" * bulkhead explodes into space *
So stupid. These 3 ambassadors absorbed more torpedos than the Schimitar did in Nemesis. This fight would’ve been over in literal seconds on screen.
No way Ambassador class is any match for type XII phasers, let alone quantum torpedoes. This fight should have ended much sooner
Well it would have had he not rammed one and took half the phasers and quantums out haha.
Ambassadors are not that weak... and surely they've been refitted.
Odds are for an “in canon” explanation would be that this would’ve been around the time of the dominion war which every ship in service was upgraded past original design specs. New warp cores, shields, phasers, and torpedoes. Those would be a mandatory upgrade for wartime refits.

Remind me of the M5 drill the way the Ambassadors coming in

I love these videos, thanks for putting them out. I really thought the sovereign was done for! That thing can take a pounding.
Your Welcome! Glad you like them 🙂. It’s a very tough ship!
1 torpedo to spare! Voyager watch out! :P
cool vid
This just makes me wish we’d get more ambassador class love on tv. Still think a (original timeline) new series based on the New Frontier novels would be awesome!
All those escape pods, so small, so defenseless. I'll order there destruction immediately.
Could you use the USS VOYAGER with the Admiral Janeway armor, and intrephasic torpedoes versus the ENTERPRISE G?
If all else fails, Troi Maneuver. Do you have unlimited torpedoes?
The quantum torpedo animation is beautiful, like in the First Contact movie. Are you using any mods?

why the phaser burst from the sovereing are so short... if you uselonger burst their shields get drained faster and torpedos do more damage
Can you use phased plasma torpedoes with the mods like you can in the games?
Literally collides with an ambassador and no damage!
Can you use the kessok ships the the cardassine hybrid?
also im surprised with the end result
If it was you in command and you can coordinate the attack with three ambassadors. I think the Sovereign is toast.
How strong is the quantum torpedo if you fire it at full power?
Have you tried running it as an administrator? Are you using the disc version or gog?
one quantum torpedo equals 3 photon torpedoes...
What mods are you using.
Any additional support for win 10 users?
I don't think you need anything thing extra to get this to run on Windows 10. Looks like this has at least the Kobayashi Maru mod.
It's running the kobayashimaru mod and i have another install that runs the bc-remastered mod.
what game is this, and for what system?
Damage to just about every system apart from warp drive, and hull intergrity is 100%.... how about the missing sections of the saucer section?
You should destroy the escape pods
Kinda odd that Star Trek never showcased CIWS or interceptors to take out incoming torpedoes. You'd think that super advanced computer cores in Federation vessels could calculate interceptions with the phaser arrays.
Shields never last this long on the TV shows :-(

The dominion war would been over in seconds if every fed ship had these shields. 😂
Even giving them shields most of the time on those fights would have helped.
I am a huge star trek fan
But dam ive never seen this game before
This is what ive bein searching fore
(Star trek online issent realistic)
It's a brilliant game. The single player mode is good as well.
@@RetroBadgerGaming im planning on getting it
Dam its everything star trek online lacks
Next time use Secondarie Targets, lets see how it changes the outcome.
i do not understand why torpedoes miss so often these things suppose to have tracking
ever considered targeting the impulse drives and make them immovable?
On more maneuverable and smaller ships absolutely. On these big slow chonky boys it wouldn't benefit as much.
😉😉😉
I don't think the Sovereign would have destroyed more than 1. They're weapons are very similar except the quantum torpedoes.
I wonder how they would fair against an odyssey
Is this a new Bridge Commander game if it is then why have I heard about it and if not why someone didn't make it
No, it's just modded.
What mod is this?
Kobayashimaru
At 2:40
"For the record, I resent the reference 'cheesy racial slur.'"
Hahhaa ... WHAT?
Ermmm love the show, but surely a Sovereign would wipe all three out in minutes? if not seconds?
