The Akira, Nebula, and Sovereign are probably my three favorite classes, so seeing a combination of the three is pretty cool. It works a lot better than I expected
NOBODY narrates like Retro Badger. His narration is always informative AND entertaining. I often marvel at how he is able to pilot fairly well, all while he is "diverting power from the weapons systems" to the entertainment systems. 😁
Take your tongue out of my arse, if I throw a dog a bone I don't want to know if it tastes good. Sorry recently watched Snatch and couldn't help myself. I agree 100% was just channeling Bricktop 😂
The Husnock are an interesting lot. Their starships can, as Riker said, "pulverize a planet." Thing is, Starfleet and its counterparts of that time can do the same to an Earth-like world. Garak was ready to use the Defiant's weapons to turn the new Founder's home world into a "smoking cinder" in "Broken Link." That makes me wonder if the Douwd exaggerated the Husnocks' capabilities when he tried to scare away the Enterprise.
Indeed. For the husnock we have no basis for comparison. Even the TOS era Enterprise was able to destroy a planetary surface in what, an hour or so? TNG era Enterprise-D is bound to be far more powerful than that. So, the husnock vessel as encountered by the D was a recreation yes and probably an exaggerated version to scare the ship away (interestingly the first time the douwd recreated the husnock vessel it was extremely weak in comparison to the enterprise d - probably more powerful than tos era ships but way less powerful than the d itself - it wasn't until the second encounter that the husnock ship was overpowered - so its likely the real husnock ship was potentially in line with the first recreation that was extremely weak)
0:46 Not only that, but it also has dorsal-mounted missile tubes in the weapons pod. They’re disguised as escape pods and they’re called Perfidy Missiles!
It isn't always a home run when they combine designs of two beloved ships.... But holy crap, this baby is freaking stunning! I want! I want I want. I want I want LOL
Wow this class looks amazing! I loved the Akira as soon as I saw it in First Contact and this looks like a fantastic update based on the sovereign lineage.
The Gemini easily fits right in with Trek Lore and design. I like it. I've always found it interesting that the Husnak are so feared and considered powerful but in actuality everything they did in that episode was just the Douwd doing what he deemed necessary to scare off the Enterprise. So in fact we have no idea how advanced or powerful they really were. I guess we can assume the weapons, shields, and armor were of the right type, which is just us giving the benefit of the doubt, but we have no idea how effective those things were.
Wow interesting design. I agree this could be an Akira 2.0. Bloody hell for that thing having so many types of torpedos. That's one ship you don't wanna trifle with...now let's see if it'll live up to it's potential. Holy crap on two tricobalt devices taking out the Negh'var(sp?). My eyes widened at that. I'm surprised you were able to take out a Husnock ship after the second attempt lol.
Jfc inertial dampeners must work doubletime in that Akira V2 for all those insane maneuvers. Otherwise everyone would like Red Alert Chilli on the bulkheads 😅😅
😲🤗😍 OH MY GOSH..!! I LOVE IT.. and all those torpedoes. nice.. 😨Finally got to see Tri-Cobalts on ships. wow.. this is the perfect blend Akira and Sovereign.. perfect.. !!! Crikey.. yes Akira 2.0.. just needs a cloak..The Husnock can absorb the Tri-Cobalts.. gosh.. ok.. I love the ship. and the look , style, weapons, and angle of the nacelles, hmm slipstream.. hmm love the ship and Battle Admiral.. anything Akira and This is an amazing ship.. !!!😊🖖
The problem with the Husnock vessel is that we have no basis for comparison. The vessel encountered in TNG was a recreation by a Dowd, but it went from extremely weak (but still capable of razing a planet), to extremely strong with just a change in thought. We just don't know if a real Husnock vessel would in fact be able to surpass even a TNG Galaxy class, let alone refits and ships that came after (like the Sovereign etc.).
I'm not sure which is more impressive. A newer version of the Akira, or the fact that you managed to hang around and take out a Husnock with almost no shields to speak of.
Why would a starship captain even waste room in storage with doorknocker photon torpedoes when the ship can fire quantum/tri cobalt or better? Hey, let's fill the storage bays with muskets and maybe find some room for a machine gun or two if you can 🤔
Nice design, but for me Akira 2.0 is a fan made art called Akira Refit (Edit: Euderion) or even better Akira Retrofit a very aggressive looking design, and not this kit-bash model. No, it look good but... its still a kit-bash.
Packs a compact Punch ✊👊...Could use some Pulse Phasers too...Seek an alliance with the Kelvin Timeline and joint venture build the ultimate StarFleet Warships!!! With the best of the Kelvin timeline and ST: TNG post Nemesis era....!

The Nebula Class was awesome.
That Negh'Var performed like an old toothless grishnar cat!
😂😂😂😂 Can't stop laughing! I guess he wanted to hand victory to the Federation 😉
😳oh gosh.. went and looked up Grishnar cat and even without teeth.. crikey.. eeeh! lol
One thing I love about your videos is (unlike others) you give a verbal rundown of the weapons and say which ones you are using

I will say this i love hearing how nervous he is around the siege guns lol
That warp away at the end was pretty epic i must say reminded me of the enterprise warping away from the shockwave in generations
Those tri-cobalt torpedoes sent that Negh’Var to the multiverse, lol great video👍👍
😂😂 Thanks Steve 🖖

😮 It's cool you can tell Badger's not only a fan when he's willing to take damage to see what damage has been inflicted thanks for sharing! 👍

Always up for Akira and Akira variant shenanigans. Beating the Husnock is crazy. Well done.
Have you wrapped up Armada yet?
Releasing tonight 😃
"lets change to...OH" classic retro
The warship wouldn't be there the Dowd wiped them out.
That’s a gorgeous design.

Wow that Akira is sweet. I like it better than the standard Akira.
Admiral Chardenea puts in a request for 32 Gemini classes.
That's a good looking ship. Would have been great to see this on screen.
Wish the Akria class looked like this officially
Jfc inertial dampeners must work doubletime in that Akira V2 for all those insane maneuvers. Otherwise everyone would like Red Alert Chilli on the bulkheads 😅😅
I reckon three Excelsior 2.0s versus this would be an interesting contest 🤔🤔
Love this design. I’m a weapon pod fan!! Miranda baby.
Love the Akira and the EE, so this ship looks amazing.
😲🤗😍 OH MY GOSH..!! I LOVE IT.. and all those torpedoes. nice.. 😨Finally got to see Tri-Cobalts on ships. wow.. this is the perfect blend Akira and Sovereign.. perfect.. !!!

I thought you'd like this one Steve. It feels like a natural progression of the Akira! A cloak would be cool. 🖖
@@RetroBadgerGaming 😊Yes you know me so well lol.. and cloak would be ouff.. I need a lie down lol.. thanks Retro-Badger🖖
That ship is awesome!
Might have to put all shield vectors up to max before you start though.
Just an idea 💡

This so far is my favorite style star fleet ship so far
"They aren't going to do anything... They did something."
Great work, when I met sci-fi people I tell them you channel.
Thanks 🖖
I forget how to spell Husnock.
You've been hit by 1.21 jigawats 😆.
I was just a kid when that movie came out, so I didn't know that it was GIGawats.
🤣🤣🤣
I love it. It just needs upgraded shields to really go up against the heavyweights.
Shields wrecked, in the final battle but the Akira still won. Surprised the Husnock ship exploding, didn't destroy it 🖖
Did you ever do a Husnock vs Stargate Asgard warship battle competition?
Have you managed to get someone whos made the borg starfish?
How about a Star Base ship vs the Voth World Ship?
nice
Photons, Quantums, Tricobalts n Transphasics.
But can it make crinkle fries?😅😂
It can "air fry 🍟" Klingons!
@@aaronwalker1615 😂🤣👍
what is Oh..... a new type of weapon?

how about going against the kazon, horogen, n such!!!
I'm really thinking the USS Gemini aka Akira-class 2.0 is a very cool looking can I dare say battleship?
Sooo beautiful 😍 🎉
Gemini is gorgeous.
⭐😃👍 *Excellent, Like 425!* ⭐😃👍
Nice design, but for me Akira 2.0 is a fan made art called Akira Refit (Edit: Euderion) or even better Akira Retrofit a very aggressive looking design, and not this kit-bash model. No, it look good but... its still a kit-bash.
What game is this?
Packs a compact Punch ✊👊...Could use some Pulse Phasers too...Seek an alliance with the Kelvin Timeline and joint venture build the ultimate StarFleet Warships!!! With the best of the Kelvin timeline and ST: TNG post Nemesis era....!
Put it up against a star destroyer.
It's nicer version of Akira.....mixed with Sovereign and Raptor class
I just wish the nacelles didn't invoke Discovery XD
Greetings, fellow STD hater
The nacelles are from the Vivace class aka Voyager A. Don't think I ever saw these in Discovery.
@@LukewarmEnthusiast more referring to the fact that they feel like they stick out a mile out the back.
Oops-- that should be planet.
Why didn’t you use your trans-phasic torpedoes? One torpedo destroys a Borg cube!
