*whistles* Nicely done, I've never seen a battle between a Romulan Bird-of-Prey and anything last this long! *Chuckles* Retro--Badger usually gets his hull handed to him, in the first ninety seconds.
I didn't think the Romulan BOP could take that beating, the literal glass cannon. In that episode, most of the damage was done by "phasers set to proximity blast" because they were cloaked, at extreme weapons range, and only got a blip but no lock. when Enterprise got a clear shot with phasers it was over in seconds.
@@adamlee2111 I've noticed the AI in BC is a lot like Doom but with less charm. 😂🤣 Had they looked at Descent or Halo for inspiration, maybe it would have gone better.
I think this battle is the best example of why the BC fights seem so imbalanced. The cloaking device is absurdly powerful ... if you understand how to position your ship relative to the weapon arcs of your opponent and if you're patient enough to wait for your most powerful weapons to recharge. I really wish someone would revamp the AI for BC somehow. I feel like every single BC fan channel on youtube suffers because of it.
I think one way to balance it could be to make the cloak more easily penetrated by sensor scans, such that it becomes more like imperfect stealth rather than complete invisibility. In-universe it was probably that way as well, otherwise starfleet would have been steamrolled by the Romulans and Klingons. Alternatively a cloaked ship has to dedicate so much of its power to cloaking that it becomes really slow and has barely any structural integroty fields, and a stray shot or proximity burst from torpedoes can damage it severely and take it out of cloak.

Based on "In a Mirror Darkly," should the Connie have an aft torpedo launcher? Would that make it too powerful?
Played that bird of prey like a true submarine captain. Nice piloting, sir!
Nice piloting, Captain.
The plasma torpedo looks like the one from TOS remastered. Nice work! 👍
I can't take credit for those, the torpedo came from BC Legacy 👍
Ai was really good this time!
Unless I missed it, I haven't seen the TOS Enterprise fire from the ventral side of the secondary hull.

@@aaronatwood9298 it probably can’t in all honesty but the AI copes so badly with glass cannons so I had to give the defences a little buff

Yikes! Used correctly, the cloak is an ENORMOUS advantage.

Agree 100%. I'm trying to create an engaging and cohesive experience but the AI is a constant headache. Its appalling
