I love the design of the Argonaut but it definitely needs a refit. Pulse phasers and Quantum torpedoes including for the rapid fire launcher.
Ahhh Star Trek Dominion War days on the PC. Got those vibes right away 😅.
Your channel has really taken me back to the days I consider golden for me personally.
Fun fact, the Valiant's first officer was named Karen, damn did she fit the bill.
Those photon top volleys are just amazing.
Whoa this design is bad ass. It also looks like a Battlestar Galactica in a way.
LOL I love seeing the face palm clips.
That's crazy you were so close to the blast of the Dominion ship that it pretty much collapsed most of your shields. I thought for sure you'd blow up after that lol.
Yup the Dominion battleship is a ship definitely not to trifle with. I had a feeling they knew the Valiant was trailing them. They also probably picked up their probe and decided to bait them and make them believe they were vulnerable in a certain area. Makes me wonder if Weyoun was on that particular Battleship that day.
Fantastic torpedo volley, on the Argonaut. When the Dominion Battleship looked damaged, I thought it was over for it but it was closer than I thought 🖖
The shield generator was clearly on the other side of the ship, I was waiting for you to switch your subsystem target to something you could hit from the weakened top shields!
Oooof glad the Jemhadar didnt use them all the time lol we could have lost the war but not much ships tho maybe lol Ty for the video and LLAP!
It looked like the Argonauts shields were recharging pretty quickly, it might be a good tactic to swoop in hammer away and then run while the shields recharge
That was like a boss fight! Let’s see if the GRAND NAGUS can beat a dominion battleship.
The Argonaut is such a beautiful design. Honestly, I think it's my #1 favorite non-canon design design, period, for a successor in the intrepid/akira department. While updated weapons would be sweet, I do love the locations of its hardpoints.... And do you just really can't beat these aesthetics. It's so gorgeous! If I could pay money for a model of this thing I absolutely would do it!
😲 "Focus on the engines...(LOL) engines!, engines!, ENGINES!!!"
I noticed the dominion battleship had a subsystem called "Ramming Deflectors". Perhaps a test next time? :)
Ooh, that's a beautiful ship. Too bad no quantums.
I'd also suggest that you not sleep on targeting weapons. They seem to be fairly weak hardpoints(especially on big ships where you can stay in a blind spot), and every bit of firepower off of you increases your chances.
Would love to see the Enterprise F go against the Dominion Battleship
Would be interesting to see that ship with at least half the same number of quantum torpedoes available.
The battleship's shields seem to be absorbing a realistic level of damage. Watching a D'deridex take damage makes it seem like a glass cannon.
I always go for the impulse engines when doing over the Dominion big boys, not as much rear firepower and once you take them out the whole ship goes up.
The Argonaut is smaller so you can build a massive number of them. Ships like that would attack in squadrons.
I have a request: One portion of Cellular Peptide Cake with mint frosting. I hear it's Worf's favorite, next to prune juice. 😋
This thing kind of reminds me of a Norway a bit with the profile and shape. I just had to go look up the Achilles class and I guess it sort of does too but the picture I saw had really small nacelles in comparison to the size of the saucer section whereas it's a more equal ratio with the Norway class.
😲ooh I do like this ship. so many lost count but this, like another said.. needs refit and ouff. this and my Akira.. wow. i am hearing a choir singing.. lol 😨now I see the size difference gosh.. ok.. wow Gosh Admiral.. bottom right corner I could see all that and the shields.. crikey.. Good thing Odo. helped to end the war cause gosh.. just saying.. eeh wicked battle!!😊🖖
LOL! It is like a future Akira. If the Jem'hadar had built multiple of these Prototype ships they would have won the war! 🖖
@@RetroBadgerGamingGosh yes.. good thing they tried to get rid of the ship building stations and the Ketracel-white.. Like Riker said in Picard. '' that white goop'' lol 🖖
You can change the torpedo type by editing the hardpoint which is so fun to do.
i Vastly prefer Argonaught to the Achillies which didn't really feel right for the era. this almost feels like a upscaled Luna. the Dominion Battleship is a perfect opponent as it also heavily employs torpedoes
Have you done a Dominion Battleship against the Reman Simitar?
I need to check, if I haven't though I'll add it to the list :-)
Helmsman... I have some terrible news for you.
Helmsman: Not the [bleeping] automated repair station (sigh), fine. 😄
I fricking love the Dominion Battleship. Have you ever featured the DB against the Borg assimilation Cube? Could be fun.
Just for the heck of it, it would be cool to see how the Achilles would do against this battleship too. Prometheus vs Dom battleship would be boss as well
I think the Jem Hadar Dreadnaught is a little disappointing because for a ship its size it doesn't have weapon systems that merit the need for that size. It just as a ton of weapons one would find on any cruiser. Generally in naval architecture, a ship is the size it needs to be to carry the most powerful weapon system possible. The Cardassian Hutet is an example of how a huge ship could be kitted out: With giant weaponry capable of one-shotting other battleships. The weapons justify the size. To an extent the Neghvar also with its dual siege disruptors. A ship this big should have some sort of large weapon capable of wrecking anything smaller than a battleship with one shot to justify the resources necessary to build this monster. This ship with its moderate weapons is the equivalent of equipping the Battleship Yamato with a bunch of 6-inch cruiser guns instead of the 18-inch monsters they carried.
I totally agree with that. It should have some sort of Killer weapon. Massive Disruptor banks or some sort of over powered torpedo. It just seems like a Large ship with tiny weapons. That's a good comparison with the battleship guns. The Scimitar was much better equipped for its size.
0:41 How many torpedoes does she have aboard?
Seems like the optimum tactic with this ship would be to just flat spin and keep firing torpedoes constantly as it looks like they reload really fast.
4:14 Retro Badger: We do not want to face them head on. That's the worst thing you can do!
Also Retro Badger: (engages the Dominion ship head on)
Argonaut v Achilles would be intersting to see or against 2 Defiants
Argonaut, Achilles, Akira retrofit are an awesome ships. Also in my opinion this should be the direction of new ships past 24/25 century, but no, we got retro Enterprise G. What a bummer.
The Argonaut is a pretty ship. Well armed, sleek, elegant. The deflector bulge under the saucer reminds me of the Akira's deflector under the saucer.
Worf doesn't have nightmares about Dominion battleships. His nightmares are about 2 things: Lwaxana Troi and Tribbles
Yes you're right! It's almost like they looked at the Achilles when designing this. Haha about Worf 🤣🤣
THERE IS NO CREW NO SYSTEMS OF ANY KIND NO NOTHING BUT HULL DAM that HULLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
Really cool ship.
Have we ever had the Dominion Dreadnought vs. The Scimitar?
The Argonaut is definitely a refit to the Achilles design, made by Wiley Coyote!
Side torpedos since reboot Enterprise lol into darkness!
Feel like it would take 1 Sovereign, 3 War Galaxy, 5 Nebulas, 3 Norways, and a full squadron of Defiants to take down that Dominion Battleship.
Load the micro quantum torpedoes....!
Not gonna lie, the female Vulcan in Red Squadron was a cutie. Sad she died.
Don't know if you've done it before but Dominion Battleship against the Scimitar.
Ok. So I have a bit of a dull question. Everyone associates larger ships with lower manoeuvrability and smaller ships higher manoeuvrability but would that actually make any difference at all in zero g and the vacuum of space? I didn’t think that’s how it worked. In my mind the biggest ship could be more nimble than a smaller one it just depends how much power they have and how the ships designed
rumolan warbird from mirror universe against this domnion battleship, would be interesting :D
Is This Ship available in Star Trek Online? It would be cool to test it out...
There is a new sery of space story and one ship has a capacitive shields that absorb the ennemy weapons, direct the energy to an antenna and direct the energy back to sender I Thought it was brilliant..
The Achilles was amazing. But this feels like a picard Era version. Which I'm ok with
Red squad never dies
Calling a ship the Argonaut is...strange. A little dumb, even. Since an Argonaut is one who sails upon a ship named the Argo. It should just be the Argo.
How about the Enterprise G, not that crap from ST Piccard!
Eclipse class hell yeah the real G. Titan-A never should have been renamed it had its own legacy.
Should have used the huge blue cannons that I assume are for station or planetary assaults
They weren’t in this mod. If they had been it would have ended the battle very quickly if they’d hit! 🖖
Red Squad killing Dominion Battleship vs Reman Scimitar?
Ive always suspected the dominion battleship is actually a husnok ship.
Why would starfleet build any new ship that could not fire quantum torpedoes?
if only it had advanced Quantum torps.....
put this against the achilles
you can drop the quantum torps for 200 more photons and all you do is loose effectiveness. Argonaut is not an effective ship, even if star fleet redesigns the ship from strike to exploration, dropping the quantum torps would not be something they would do....
Do look like micro torpedoes
go for there sensors
make the dominion ship fight the scimitar
🤔 " Don't know about anybody else...But-Tah.....That could "REEEEALLY!!" PASS FOR AN "ENTERPRISE" (G) TO ME!!!".....🙄....(I mean.....😏)....."I'M JUST SAYING!")
To bad these are just randomly scaled and arnt somewhat accurate depictions
lame
The Argonaut is a beautiful ship and well armed to boot. That Dominion battleship is a beast though. Amazing battle as always, up there with the best.
Thanks mate! The Argonaut is a really nice ship. 🖖
@@cedricroberts4336😒 "I "REALLY!" wish that ship was (Canon)....😳 Or better yet, A (Star Trek Online) limited series release...Like a plastic (or) die-cast model."
