- Battle scenes taken from the Deep Space 9 episode Tears of the Prophets.
Yep i'm a ship geek and I like Star Trek as well. Whats wrong with that :)
All copyright goes to CBS America who own the rights to this show.
These battle sequences still look very good some 17- 18 years later. Love them
That's because they use models and then they add in some CGI for the energy weapons and fire damage. Models are real things, so they will always look more real than CGI, its why in the new star wars movies they went back to using practical effects and using models for the ships.
@@Jake-cm9jj Actually, all the ships in this space battle are CGI (models). There are no practical effects. It explains why ships (Galaxy class, Excelsior class) look different than what we were used to. They started using CGI first for the 6x06 episode Sacrifice of Angels as motion control shooting models was not feasible. Motion control required shooting each ship (each type) individually and since there are a huge variety of ships types, it would have required too much time. CGI was the cheaper alternative. My sources: memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/CGI and memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Sacrifice_of_Angels_(episode).
@@MaartensTravels Impressive, finally someone who uses sources. well done.
I miss Star trek.
@@MaartensTravels You're a liar, it was all stop action photography with really accurate clay models.... (grin)
"The weapon's platforms are powering up!"
"SEND IN THE MIRANDA SHIELD! We'll be right behind them"
It seems to be what they were designed for - the Miranda class at 01:19 soaked up (as best I could count) twelve direct hits, compared to the (I believe) Excelsior class which could only handle ONE or the Akira (which should be so much more powerful it's almost laughable) which managed to tank six. The Galaxy class near the start didn't seem to be doing half as well either, but it's probably not fair to count it since you don't see it get obliterated, just damaged.
@@aecides3203 very perceptive.
@@aecides3203plus it was toast after the first couple hits. probably the platforms were trying to hit the bigger starships in the distance. Glory looks like got it right:-)
@@aecides3203 Well the Miranda class was almost like the constitution class which was made to take a pounding in battle.
Miranda class ships were remote controlled.
When you get assigned to a Miranda-class ship, you get your will updated free of charge.
But lose your insurance policy.
That's because those ships are so old and outclassed by DS9 time frame, the only reason they're there is the Feds are so desperate against the Dominion.
They're literally cannon fodder. It's terrible.
At least have the computers auto pilot the ships or something!
Well the good news is at this point all the ships were skeleton crews (last minute) but yeah if I was assigned to Miranda would rather take my chances with a court Marshall lol.
honestly I think miranda's are usually used as trainee ships or low stress situations most of the time and were rushed into combat formations
This looks so much better than fights in Discovery. I love phaser effects!
Discovery is just a pile of 💩
and this is why the Klingons take so many battle losses in combat they like to run in guns firing kicking ass and their ships take a beating
"im afraid the weapon platforms will be quite..operational...when your friends arrive"
“Your fleet is lost...and your friends will not survive.”
"Take your weapon, strike me down with all your hatred."
It is illogical to press against an enemy with an inefficient amount of forces if our main goal is to overwhelm them
Good goood.
Well played, sir. Well played indeed.
Picard: Mr Crusher, your transfer to the Miranda is ready.
Wesley: Damn, you really hate my ass.
Shut up Wesley
Major Kira: You too, Nog.
In an alternate timeline, Wesley became captain of the Enterprise, the youngest ever. Picard became HIS first officer. It was a short glimpse, but a very cool one.
You forgot to add ...............
EVERYONE on the Bridge: Shut up Wesley.
Shields won`t be installed until Tuesday 😄
ps.:
Admiral: "Congratulations Ensign, you gratuaded and finished Starfleet Academy. Here is your new red uniform and you`ll be asigned to the U.S.S. Suicide, a Miranda Class Star Ship".
Me: "a Red Shirt and a Miranda Class Starship.. heck no. Here is my resignation, good bye"
Admiral: "You misunderstand, Ensign. That word, 'suicide,' it's Vulcan, not English. It doesn't mean the same thing."
Ensign: "Oh, OK, sir. What does it mean?"
Admiral: "It means 'To die in the vacuum of space.'"
More like a Suicide Class Star Ship
Except the Miranda-class _is_ the first ship modern Starfleet captains get in _Star Trek Online_ . In the year 2409.
First you fight some Klingon, then the Borg.
Wait! We forgot to introdce you to your weapons officer! He reschooled, was in the military, ground forces, but great commendations!!!
So ... ?
Imperial Stormtrooper command and ... hey wait!!!
Exactly. If I remember right Sisko was assigned to a Miranda class until it went down at wolf 359... At which point he was reassigned to DS9.
I love the Excelsior class! Even 80 years after its initial design, the ships are still going strong.
It’s a gorgeous and timeless design. When it was made for ST:III the model maker set out to “remake the Enterprise as if it were designed in Japan.”
Excelsior mafia
3:03
Love that Galaxy murdering the shit out of that weapons platform.
The Galaxy really got her day in the sun on DS9 (finally) after 7 years of getting her shit tucked in by Romulans, Tamarians, fucking Ferengi, Space babies, extinct empire outposts, millennia-old booby traps, and finally, ignominiously, by 2 Klingon hags in a hundred year old rust bucket.
the 2 klingon hags...that was only because they got to see the layout of the ship and hit every important thing they could before they were killed...oh and plot called for the D to go down
@@DorkKnight99
Tell that to the Odyssey
@@SuperGamefreak18 yeah, the galaxy class should be able to wipe the floor with a bird of prey with just its saucer section on auxiliary power. that was such a terrible movie
@@enshk79 honestly the "battle" in generations was fine as it still took an unshielded shot to destroy said old bird of prey but because of the movies antagonist the duras sisters were allowed free shots in a battle that where both were at 100% and the shield frequency wasnt compromised then yeah if anything that battle was the embarrassment that resulted in a reality check
Standard Star Fleet Attack Procedure:
1. Do a lot of fancy maneuvering.
2. Take at least 6 hits from enemy vessels.
3. Fire ONCE.
4. Ask Worf for a status report.
5. Repeat.
Number 4. Should be "ask the tactical officer for a status report" , there is only one Worf in Starfleet .
Worf is a surrogate for all Star Fleet tactical officers.
Get a Congratulations from Martok .... rinse repeat... and ALWAYS use attack pattern Theta...
Whats the difference between attack pattern Alpha and attack pattern Theta? The name - and Star-fleet still gets clobbered! The federation should hire some Martok's to command their vessels..
As opposed to Star Wars attack procedure:
1. Fly straight into the enemy.
2. Flood the field with fire.
3. Hope said barrage hits something.
4. Fuck a status report, because what the fuck is a status report?
5. Repeat.
Brutal bridge hit on that D'Deridex
Yup. Better hope those things have battle bridges...
Vorcha: "Hold my blood wine."
Miranda: "No you hold my ... OH GOD!"
Yeah I was thinking that the d’deridex is not all it’s cracked up to be if its primary shields are penetrated like that
The bridge on the D'Deridex isn't in the upper ventral area, it's lower down.That hit didn't take it out.
@@LN997-i8x actually, it was hit directly behind the bridge…the blasts severed the “head” of the ship where the bridge is located
Standard packet when assigned to Miranda Class ship . Item 1 orders posting you to your new ship .Item 2 Form to update will . Item 3 Notice to family that you have been assigned to a Miranda instructing them to look for the death notice of their loved one . Item 4 Token for one free evening at the Naughty Nebula (just to make sure no one dies a virgin .... even if it is Star Trek) Located just across the Quad from the Freshman billets .
The Romulan Wabirds are awesome. Especially the D'Deridex cruiser
The D'Deridex was the ONLY ship being shown in these battles! :'(
That's my only real gripe with the Romulans in this show, they only ever had the one kind of starship.
_Would've been nice to see one or two other types of ship appearing, just for a little more diversity._
Though obviously not the horrendous designs at the end of "Picard Season 1", I'm talking about designs more similar to the Norexan-Class (the Valdore from "ST Nemesis") or the Birds of Prey we saw in "Enterprise".
Notice how Kira agrees to the plan by NODDING.
How does Miles know she's agreed, when he has his back to her?
What the fuck
@@HamanKarn567 ik i cant even begin to decribe what ive seen
He heard the jingle of her gigantic ear ring.
Because, in the script, she nodded. Do not you know anything? :)
what the fuck have i just witnessed
The last four seasons of DS9 showed the best of Star Trek - and sometimes the worst. Awesome Villians, support characters and a lot of politics, religion and war and the utopia of the federation beaten down by Reality.
Except for the last episode which was complete shit. And any episode featuring Vic's.
@@animateddepression Final Episodes never has been good in Star Trek, like the first 2-3 season of a new series. I like What you leave behind just because it dont involves time travel.
@@animateddepression i think you confused DS9 with enterprise. What You Leave Behind was really good
Would have been nice to see the Flagship of the fleet with its Captain, Picard, make a cameo. Always have thought that it would have been cool to hear “engage all weapons platforms, attack squadrons breakoff as planned. Engage.” I realty wish DS9 had been given movies as well though. Such an amazing show. I remember watching this as a kid and Babylon 5, but really young, my first show was TNG. Then my Dad made me watch the originals and all Star Wars films (3 of them at that time) and became a hardcore scifi fan for life lol.
play star trek bridge commander and you'll be able to sympathise hard with those destoyred akira and miranda class ships
STO has you start in a miranda if you choose star fleet. your inital cruise has you fighting a borg invasion. you end up 1v1 a cube in a attempt to stall till reinforcements arrive. after you get over the inital "O mah gerrd, im in star trek fighting the borg AWESOME!!!" it turns into. "FIRE EVERYTHING!!!" for little to no effect and you start going Oh shit oh shit fuck fuck fuck. avoid.
Tom Ridley why stop at that? Activate the self destruct and ram the cube XD
Tom Ridley The miranda for sure, but the akira? For an escort class it's quite durable.
The Akira was a first or second Gen anti born ship
In 2019, I still remember and adore my time spent with modded Bridge Commander. Must check to see if it is still a thing.
Some of the best space battles Star Trek ever has to offer. Present day included
Present day very included, haha
"Scotty! Where are my shields?!" "I canne do it Cap'n! I don't have the power!"
**heavy Scottish accent** I‘m giving her all I can get Captain, but you’re expecting a bloody miracle!
😂👍
@@Das_Kaenguru O'Brien is the Scotty of the 24th century. He has a solution for pretty much everything.
I really miss this type of Trek!
It's amazing how inconsistent the damage is. One ship is destroyed with 1 phaser blast, another takes 3 torpedos and is barely damaged.
I think that's because it's an older ship? Ships have structural integrity fields and armor and presumably on older ships they're a lot less effective
1.24 Anyone else notice just then, the Defiant had "PLOT ARMOR" on?
These weapon platforms were mean customers, their fazers Rip straight through shields and poke massive holes in Galaxy class ships, and when the Defiant gets hit its barely scratched.
Still as epic to see now as it was Jaw dropping to see this many federation/Romulan/Klingon Ships onscreen at once, on a TV Show no less!!
The bigger ships probably took quite a beating beforehand. At least that's my explanation. Still, the Defiant is a rough-n-tough ship.
well the galaxy class ships are bigger and slower which means they're easy targets while the defiant is fast and hard to hit so it makes perfect sence
+The Gallifreyan Gamer plus during wartime galaxy class ships were more of heavy cover/support so they basically had more of a beating and the defiant was the most advanced ship that Starfleet created
+Sebastian Macias exactly
The defiant was the only ship to have ablative hull armour
Too bad the fleet didn't just destroy all of the platforms in one quick massive attack...before they all "woke up"
They were in two layers one Near Chintoka Prime and another near the space between 2 and the Planet and fleet...
Three of the greatest powers in Star Trek fighting together, and not a one commander or captain thinks of raising shields...
The dominion brought weapons that aren't stoppable by most kinds of shields. The cardassians will have had access.
@@haydenravenscroft1803 At that point in the story the Federation had long adapted their shields to Dominion weaponry.
It kills me to see how many Excelsior Class ships were destroyed or damaged in this battle. It gave me a bit of a smile when the one flying with Defiant did those shots. ❤️
I made this comment before on another video that Stafleet should consider making a ship covered in deflector dishes. They seem to do almost anything. Open portals to another dimension, like fluidic space. You can redirect warp "energy" to try to destroy Borg cubes. Seriously, you can use them to create anti-time ruptures.
What got me into DS9 wasn't watching from the start and how different Sisko was from Pi-card, but I found this episode later on VHS and saw all those "Reliants" and
"Excelsiors" and "Enterprises" and wondered what was that?
O'Brien deserves a Medal 🎖
Garak too
0:59 Apparently a model for the USS Galaxy was used in this shot. I believe Roddenberry once said there were originally 6 Galaxy class ships and this, as the prototype, was undoubtedly one of them. Nice touch / homage.
Even if that was true, far more had clearly been commissioned by the 6th season of DS9. There are multiple shots in "Favor the Bold" and "Sacrifice of Angels" that had more than 6 in a single shot.
That is the USS Galaxy, you see the registry on the bottom of the saucer say NCC-70637, which is Galaxy’s registry number. Survived the war too, you see Galaxy’s name and registry included in the fleet to assist the Enterprise E in Nemesis
@@toddsmittsAfter the first six, Starfleet probably saw the usefulness of the class and started making more. Then, when the Dominion War started, Utopia Plantia probably started cranking out as many as possible
Just realized that she just nodded. If no one was watching Kira, they wouldn't know that she gave the go ahead for that idea. :P
One thing I could never reconcile with DS9 is where did Starfleet get hundreds and hundreds of ships not to mention the crews to run to fight in the dominion war? They had a hell of a time finding 39 ships to fight the Borg cube at wolf 359.
AMEN! I guess just as there is "Plot Armour" there are "Plot Fleets."
The Wolf 359 fleet was hastily assembled within a few days from whatever ships were closest. The larger Dominion War fleets were probably assembled over several weeks or even months.
why didn't the crew just keep talking, seeing as the were never hit by weapons fire during their conversation, and just leave the system.
lmao
LOL good one
"Acoustic interference" was interrupting the enemy weapon's targeting array. Or something.
Yes... the ship shaking every 10-15 seconds during those scenes, the conduit overloading, those are just normal design features of Federation ships, not enemy weapons fire.
0:30 - I love how the Klingon Cruiser shields deflect nothing. But the Defiant has super shields and plot armor.
I feel like the Miranda class exists in Star Trek for the purpose of being destroyed on screen. It's the Red Shirt ship of Starfleet vessels, commanded only by TOS Red Shirts lol
Yeah, true
Only one Miranda was seen being destroyed, compared to other ships. Two Akira's and Two Excelsior's. Remember.
Do you happen to notice how the larger Federation ships go tumbling in only a couple of hull breach hits, but the Miranda, with half its saucer missing keeps going until its totally obliterated? lol
Ultimately I don't think Trek should be about big space battles or warfare but got damn was it badass seeing the alpha quadrant team-up.
It has to be said that, "Do it!", doesn't sound anywhere near as good as, "Make it so!"
What have we learned? Hacking the weapon platforms from afar is easier and safer than trying to directly engage them. Think of all the people who were blown the fuck up because the A-Team doesn't think outside the box.
It doesnt feel like a proper big Star Trek battle unless theres a few Mirandas blowing up. Ah great times. A battle scene in Star Trek was always an exciting and enjoyable moment, unlike the seizure inducing eye aches they are in Discovery.
A lot of the space battle scenes were recycled for use in the final battle scenes in the Deep Space Nine finale."What You Leave Behind" episode.
Star Trek DS9, Where every ship forgets to raise their shields. Your only defense is to have a main character onboard.
never noticed at 3:04 that galaxy class is firing torpedoes out of its deflector dish.
it musta been mighty pissed off
Torpedo Bays Are A Little Above The Deflector Dish Gives The Appearance Of Them Coming Out Of The Dish
nah, its definitely coming from the deflector. you can see the torp launcher on the neck and the torp comes directly from the centre of the deflector dish.
Nice sabre class cameo though
@@marcusjustice6165 I always wondered how those ships survived having huge chunks blown out of them when on TNG a little scrape of the warp nacelle or a couple glancing blows to the engineering section and the warp core is ready to blow up.
@@Jarsia Geordi was a terrible engineer, lol.
She looks around like, "Science? You think science will get us out of this?"
People talking about the Miranda-classes getting blasted but ALL the ships took a beating from those platforms. At least three or four of those Mirandas survived- I only saw one Galaxy and maybe two Excelsiors. There is no safe ship in this battle, people, except the Defiant and her plot armor.
I'm gonna have to marathon DS9 now that it's on Canadian Netflix. Haven't seen most of it in forever.
When you take away ship's shield just to make the battle look more dramatic.
We are approaching the target.
On screen!
Wait...You flew blind?
Each ship has enough firepower to flatten the surface of a planet. Yet when the ships shoot at each other the explosions are minimal.
Good to see that at least one ship had shields
Bird-of-prey: "Oh crap. Let me just hit it with my wing.."
1:19 I hope that Miranda was on autopilot.
Sisco finally got it right with the defiant don't get hit or you want lose the defiant
I swear like half of the federation and Romulan ships don’t even have shields-
DS9 ended horribly. Great show, but they just came up with ships numbers out of thin air. 200 lost in this battle, 700 lost in the next battle...etc. Maybe if they turned their shields on they wouldn't all die.
That, or stop with the explosives that they installed under panels on the bridge
One would think they'd have a fuse to protect instrument panels from exploding on the bridge.... lol! Too easy I guess, not messy enough.
kinda hard when their weapons go straight through them
Did anyone teach those cadets we're promoting straight to bridge officers how to turn on the shields? No? Anyone?
Well shit....
those are dreadful weapons.shields can only dissipate so much energy for a given volume of ship...
Not gonna like, its really unsettling to see an Akria-class get taken out like that
Fleet was so eager to engage, not one ship remembered to raise shields.
This is what made the show silly up to this point. Starships just blow up at the slightest weapons fire. And they all fly right into the range of the weapon platforms. The Akira & Miranda shown blowing up even went so far as fly right into a swarm of them. It would've made more sense for the capital ships to fire at the platforms from a distance and use fighters and other support craft for short range attack. Sisko actually used that tactic in Sacrifice of Angels. Babylon 5 did the whole "destroy the weapon platforms" much better in the Endgame episode.
R&B playa shit - the brass score as they secure the victory is gangsta as fuck
Miranda class - one hit - out.
Excelsior class - one hit - out.
Galaxy class - one hit - major damage.
Defiant class - ten hits, no damage, plenty of time to come up with technobabble fix to complex problem.
Cadet #1: I got assigned to a Miranda class ship!
Cadet #2: I got assigned to an Excelsior class!
Cadet #3: I'll notify both of your next of kin..
Can we take a second to think of how many people just died in that video
The magical deflector array, FTW!
Ahh the Miranda class starship... the ensign Ricky of starships...
2024 still loving it
LOL, what kind of shields was the defiant using and why are they not on like practically every ship in the fed fleet. I mean the galaxy class dreadnought had way stronger shields yet had hull breaches left right and centre when those platforms started firing yet the defiant got smacked around a few times by the same platforms and not a single scratch on the outside 0.0. Star trek logic got to love, (does the ship have the name enterprise, voyager or defiant. ummm no right then blow it up)
+Phillip Hennigan Well there are a lot of different reasons for why the Defiant's toughness makes sense in a strictly battle situation.
The first is power. The defiant is originally described as a ship that is "over gunned and overpowered for a ship of its size". What that means is that, while a Galaxy Class and the Defiant may be getting similar levels of power from their reactors, the Defiant has a lot more freedom of how to use that power (for shields, weaponry, etc..).
That transitions into the second, which is size. A galaxy class is a lot bigger then the Defiant, which means that the power they divert to shielding to protect the ship has to be spread out over a much larger area, along with many more ship systems that need to be powered compared to the Defiant (And especially considering a Galaxy Class isn't designed strictly for war to begin with, while the Defiant is).
The third is armor. While the Defiant is equipped with ablative armor, which means it doesn't even need shields to be combat effective (unlike most ships in the Star Trek universe), a Galaxy Class has no such armor advantage, resulting in easier hull breaches like the ones shown here.
Galaxy glass dreadnought? Cruiser is about the best term for it as it's not a warship. I dislike how in this scene only weapon platforms have shields.
+TheCormTube hi there, sorry if i've caused confusion here, its just that most star trek games that i play now a days do actually class the galaxy as an actual dreadnought vessel, not a cruiser.
+HUNTERxKILL3R true very true
+TheCormTube - The Galaxy Class underwent war refits prior to the Dominion War, including additional armor (some of it ablative) and possibly additional phaser arrays. Heavy Cruiser seems to fit them pretty well, since canon Trek does not make use of the term "Dreadnought".
anyone notice between 1:36-1:38 the registry number on the nose of Defiant is actually the one for Valiant? For the the record, Valiant's registry was NCC-74210 while Defiant's was NX-74205... Just noticed this today!
You could read a lot into this scene; Cardassian static defenses are so obscenely powerful that they can carve Akira, excelsior, galaxy class ships... Even D'Deridexes get carved to shreds by these things. Compare that with Next Generation where numerous Cardassian ships get iced by a Phoenix Class exploration vessel.
Granted, Deep Space 9 was my favourite series yet the one where everyone left their shields at home.
If only all the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan ships had the same plot armor as the Defiant, they could've beaten the Dominion in a few months.
1:38 NCC-74210. HOLY S***! It's the Valiant! :O
Such a great series
So basically Chief O'brien saved their asses, and got zilcho recognition.
platform's shielding more effective than borg...
holy shit those orbital weapon platforms were stronger than several fleets of ships.
The weapon platforms used plasma Torpedos and phasers which cut through the ships shields like a hot knife through Butter :)
I would been honored to serve the federation, even on a Miranda or an oberth class
Great show wow over 20 years ago
Just think, in the vastness of space and time, any number of battles like this have or will be played out.
Maybe one is happening right now.
Fighting stationary weapon platforms makes no sense in star trek when photon/quantum torpedoes have warp drives built so they can be fired at warp. That means their range is system to system...sure that isn't very useful when firing on an enemy ship, because Impulse speeds are percent of the speed of light, so they are maneuvering so fast there is literally no chance to hit them unless you are in close, but for a stationary target you can just fire torpedoes from outside the weapon platform's range and let them land on the unmoving objects.
Though there are sooooo many poor uses of their technology they do in ST. Like they have had cloaking you could fire from since ST5, and yet we just dont see it again until Nemesis. They can extend their warp fields around planets and move them, so they could easily do the same with asteroids and shoot them at the enemy. That weapon platform power asteroid could be taken out by sending a warp speed asteroid at it. Also warp weapons are clearly viable, because during best of both worlds Ryker was preparing to destroy the Borg cube by taking the Enterprise through it at warp, yes killing them all but saving earth...so why hasn't that maneuver been used more with automated ships? How do you even prepare to dodge an attack that is coming at you at 2000c? In truth half the tech they present in ST would create a form of warfare so terrible there would be no more planets left to inhabit, only living on a ship that can maneuver at impulse and warp speeds would allow you to even have a chance at survival in such a terrible war. DS9 itself would be easily destroyed being stationary, in fact the founders tried to blow up the Bajoran sun to wipe it out once before...but when that is foiled they don't try again, but if a shuttle with a protomatter bomb can supernova a star, then there would be no more stars in the ST universe, just dead space and the survivors of such terrible wars fighting over the scraps of the old civilizations!
I guess its a good think people in the future are only creative with making new tech, and not how to use it.
they don't have warp drives built in. they are only in warp if the ship that fires them is in warp and the range is 300,000km.
www.startrek.com/database_article/torpedo-sustainer-engine
phaser range is 90,000km
Who says there never Klingon around when you need one
When shields do absolutely nothing to protect you
This battle was a starfleet conspiracy to get rid of all remaining Excelsior-class ships at once.
I never understood why Kira was ever on the defiant, especially during the war. Didn't Bajor deliberately remain neutral during the conflict? Her presence there would directly undermine that neutrality, her government would never have allowed it.
unless im misremembering she started as a bajoran liaison but by the time this takes place she's a commander in starfleet
That neutrality ended after Operation Return. Starfleet keeps the Ninth Fleet at Bajor and DS9. Only reason they withdrew was because Starfleet and the Klingons weren't prepared with their fleets in time for the war.
I think that Miranda class took more damage to kill it than the big capital ships did.
1:18 captain redshirt of the uss redshirt drives his paperweight ship past several heavy weight orbital defense platforms and is mystified as to why his ship disintegrated 0.0
Martok: Martok to Defiant, well done Major...........
O'Brien: I'm sorry, I was the one who came up with the idea. Give praise to me....Morons.
Star Trek's best series ever..
The magical deflector array saves the day again!!!
I wonder if the producers of DS9 took bets as to how much stock footage they could use for space battle scenes without the fans noticing.
In this battle, none. Final battle several.
I found it interesting how many galaxy class ships star fleet build during the dominion war... wasn’t exactly a combat design.
I can imagine what the battle briefings must have been like: "We have starships that can fire from who knows how many thousands of kilometers away but lets close in to within just a couple and get absolutely mauled by these otherwise useless weapon platforms. Also, fly in as one huge wave so their suicide attacks have a better chance to succeed, and try not to fire on ones that are about to get through. This is the 24th century, so the least we can do is fight like they did in the in the 17th."
I mean, kudos to anyone who made the effects but damn, starfleet fights like a bunch of idiots.
@Induction Imagine? You have demonstrated a lack of paying attention to those mission briefings. The platforms aren't "useless" they have a equal firing range to the ships that are attacking. Second this isn't COD. Third the platforms have regenerative deflector shielding. Once they are online you won't be able to damage them which was the whole point of rushing in to destroy them and the generator base before it became operational. Sitting like a duck for target practise would have meant they would have been slaughtered even more easily.
@@KLamki1 I stand corrected on the platforms. Thanks.
The pride of the Miranda fleet, the USS MeetYourMaker!
Any decent tactical officer: Okay we’ve identified that these extremely deadly orbital weapons platforms are not yet active. We should probably just stay outside their formation and pick them off one by on-
Every navigation officer in the fleet: *flies straight in*
3:04 Shooting photon torpedos out of the deflector dish, hah!
The torpedo launcher is in the neck just above the dish
I guess nobody on those starships thought to raise their shields.
Shields are only installed on ships with main characters on board
"Alright! Prometheus here, ready for combat. Let's give 'em hell!"
"Sorry. War's over."
"Awwwww."
KOBUN40 Hhahha, same like the galaxy refit.
The battle that showed that the Warbirds were paper tigers.
0:38 is that an Ambassador Class behind the Defiant?
Yes.
Think its an excelsior
The war showed how incapable/Ill prepared the Romulans were for it despite their bluster and constant threats to invade others, etc. There losses were just a buffer to allow the Klingons and Federation to bolster and rebuild and show the federation isn’t to be trifled with once it starts rolling and still wasn’t at a state of what we would call all out war mobilization like the US and UK in WW2, but didn’t suffer unlike the cardassians who equate to Germany without the Nazis of the era.
If Viacom wants a profitable Star Trek venture, start by remastering this series in 4K BD. I won't spend a dime on Discovery, but will put down some serious gold-pressed latinum to have this in my BD collection.
I always missed some properly numerous dedicated small warship in federation ranks.
After the battle, Admiral Ross walks over to O'Brien, "For quick thinking under trying circumstances and constantly proving yourself valuable to your superiors, I hear by grant you a field promotion to Lt. Commander. Congratulations Mr O'Brien."Ross places the new pips on o'brien's collar."Thank you sir. I- I don't know what to say... I never imagined myself as an officer.""These are trying times Commander, we need good leaders and you have proven yourself capable.""Aye sir. I won't let you down."
handwolf .... I want my own ship...
I always wondered why OBrien was never granted a battlefield commission. They gave F-ing Nog and Wesley field commissions, but not the best engineer in all of Starfleet?
Nope, OBrien gets to die an NCO.
I don't understand why they didn't build ships or attack drones like those weapons platforms where a central ship is supplying the power and the attack drones are doing their work.
