  • after 3 months of constant retreat Starfleet has been driven back to the very core of the federation. The founding world of Vulcan now in jeopardy. For over 200 years the Vulcans have remained steadfast pacifists. yet now as the shadow of the dominion looms over their world they may have no other choice than to take up arms... a choice that will forever change the face of Vulcan Civilization.

      At the beginning of the Dominion war star fleet finally achieved something that had been working on for 80 years it replicates its first ship complete replication of an entire starship the ship is small it's only $130 m long it's based on an old design the warp Delta it can only get to work six but it can sustain warp sex it's not an emergency speed and it has a old style warp engine it's based on the work 5 engine but it's smaller it's only 12 ft long it's impulse engine though is state of the art it can go from 0 to full impulse and half the time previous and it's very maneuverable impulse and it is also capable of flying an atmosphere and landing it only has four decks and it's based on the old 22nd century Delta design on the outside on the inside it's a modern ship and it's technology is fully modern it has three front-facing pulse phaser cannons that unlock the device are not fixed these are in modern turrets they can fire beam or pulse and a single front quantum torpedo launcher that can fire for torpedoes in a valley and they rear photon launcher that can launch four photons the tubes can fire photons or quantum it has a blade of armor it can hold two top two shuttles that it can launch from a single drop shuttle Bay in the middle of the stomach or the bottom half it has five of these new phaser turrets it has one on the bottom underneath the nose it has three in the nose facing dead Ford and has one in the rear now the one at the bottom and the three on top they can that's four that they can fire at a Target and if they need to fire more long range they can switch to meme it don't look like to defiance razor blast it looks more like wrath of Khan pulse phases but it's equal in power to defiance it just can't blast as many of them these can blast three shots in a volley at full full power and a pulse but is more accurate than the defiance accounts and has a greater range the ships are usually captained by lieutenants commanders usually lieutenants sometimes they turn them over to the planetary defense Force

    To think the Dominion got the Vulcan to rethink their way of life. Their way of thinking. To figure out that Logic is not always the answer to everything. That following a logical path is not always the right course of action. That even the Romulans may have the right idea. To have emotions and logic together. To which that maybe it was time to follow...Logic...and bring the two halves back together.

    This siege gives me both Leningrad/St. Petersburg & Stalingrad/Volgograd vibes in regards to the encirclement of Andor & the battle at the Vulcan border. It gives the off the UFP's desperation as well as jubilation after their victories here & Operation: Return.

    Have to say that it is great to see the federation fleets and their admirals making effective use of the terrain, spacial phenomena, fortified positions and military assets at their disposal to slow down, frustrate and ultimate defeat and turn the enemies numerical advantage and tactics against them. While brilliantly concentrating their best forces at key positions to defeat the enemy at key moments vital to victory. Plus great to see the enterprise e showing how lethal a sovereign can be to the enemy.

    when an animal has its back to the wall it will fight with the fury of an animal with nothing left to lose.
    The Federation needs to make further usage of surface based phaser weapons, best fit to be lance weapons that could provide the best ground support in siege battles. when it comes to large scale battles the federation always seems to make the mistake of treating all their ships as battleships rather than their actual classifications, they need to use their fighters and escort ships like mirandas, defiants and maybe even sabers as a further skirmishing line to keep the enemy at arms length while their frigates and artillery vessels can provide support from a distance with a seccond escort force behind that can act as a mobile reserve force.
    the federation also needs to make the usage of mines more common, throwing self replicating mines in random clusters along well travelled routs they could use them to slow down dominion forces who would have to manoeuvre through them slowly buying the federation more time. The federation could use this to set up traps with automated turrets and small squads of fast moving ships like defiants. if they focus on the Jemhadar fighters and cardasian frigates then their cruisers will lack their support and can't safely engage the federation formations and will need to pull back and regroup, then while they reorganise the federation can catch them flat footed and drive a wedge in dominion lines.
    in summary, I love the video

      @taraswertelecki3786 3 роки тому +3

      I would think long ranged guided weapons, that act much like fire and forget beyond visual range air to air missiles would also be effective against hostile spacecraft. Once aloft, they could seek out, identify and then destroy them. Volley fired, each weapon could independently find, then target the location on a target most likely to destroy it such as a torpedo bay or the target's power source.

    • @venomgeekmedia9886
      @venomgeekmedia9886  3 роки тому +5

      planetary emplacements are a definite advantage however. some might argue that the key is to not let the enemy reach the planet in the first place.
      the main reason for the linear tactics used by starfleet here is that they are fighting defensively. on the offense they certainly would fight in the way you describe. thats partially why the 12th fleet was part of Sisko's task force.
      mines are good. if you have the time, and good deployment. concentric minefields are only good for slowing the enemy down. the key to mines is using them to break up enemy formations, and force them into killing zones.
      i do like the idea of pairing attack ships with turrets. the firepower of the turret and the mobility of attack ships complementing one another.

    • @ISAF_Ace
      @ISAF_Ace 3 роки тому +4

      while it is key that the enemy stays away from populated planets; when I look at an island I see an unsinkable aircraft carrier, and when I look at a stellar body I see a massive turret that's a damn sight harder to destroy.

      generally the enemy would see a large concentrated defence (Like andoria) and try to encircle it which is exactly what the dominion did, you can predict this and let the enemy through as they punch through nearby less defended systems and you can formulate an appropriate response. Then once they are far enough behind you lines you can strike their rear guard and cut them off from support like the United earth government failed to do at Calder and Tau Ceti during the earth romulan war

      Just run a table top RPG, my game shop did around 15 years ago.
      The differences between a Vulcan and Romulan merchant is, at lest the Romulan has the decent social politeness to smile as they screw you over in a business deal.
      Half of all Vulcan merchants are in fact Romulan spies.
      Vulcans broke off into five different civilizations, forming into three empires.
      1.) Vulcan, logic tactical power wargamers the run their region of control like grand parent God Fathers. " deep sigh, .." dead pan wit, .. Time again to spank the Klingons ?
      3.5e Star Wars Jedi Councilor class/ telepaths. bonus skill: Auto Recall. / self hypnosis.
      2.) Trade merchants that know they basic have twice the normal life span, .. bloody space elves. Playing practical jokes on all they can. Main leading cause for myths/ legends of Elf like being on under develop worlds.
      3.) Romulans, .. casual smile cause they knew they are better than everyone else, or just tired of dealing with undiscipline young species/ Klingons. More prone to pick unfriendly fights and raids. More or less just for the hell of it.
      Ferengi, their females are just .. nudists. Well, .. their planet is a rainy tropical environment. Males just like crisp looking business suites, but even they prefer less clothing when they can. They like humid rainy showers. Humans like steam saunas and Ferengi like doing business deal sitting in pouring warm showers.
      Humans, 80% are claim to be under the UFP, but the other 20% do a lot of shady zhit under " plausible deniability."
      Many captains are more than happy to jump a Klingon cruiser with their phaser at 1/20th % of power to knock on the other ship's hull just to say hello. Since Klingons love a good fight, give them a good friendly play fight and gift them with whiskey/ beer. The other 5% of them run on a military engineer war cargo ship carriers, they will just snipper you or steam roll murder you. Klingons think its no fun to fight them and Romulans prefer not to provoke them.
      Then you have the 1% techno mages, most of them are not even pure human any more. The seek to create hybrid super species .. cool entertainers or creepy Sith Lords.
      Klingons, the waring clan houses of the empire. Some houses are more align to human colonies then they are to their home empire. Some are total war mongering pricks and others just like finding new drinking buddies to watch sports with. USA football/ European rugby, soccer, and hockey are Klingons favorite human sports. Most humans die from heart failure and exhaustion in their fifties trying to keep up with Klingons in bar parties and sports. Other than dying in battle, human die celebrating the enjoyment of life.
      Other than some friendly ship tactical wargames, everyone more or less knows there are those in all species just like going around murdering each other in their cloak & dagger spy non sense. So most just shrug it off and go about doing their own thing to pass the time.
      Then there is the Borg, .. they claim what they want and push technology where ever they can. The techno mages took over a few Borg cubes and use them to poke fun and insult the Klingons with or the Romulans.
      " Resistance is futile, but do so anyways .. it makes spanking you more interesting till we grow bored with spanking you.
      You will not be assimilated, cause you smell bad and ugly, you have no technological or cultural distinctive to add to our own collective.
      But we encourage you to resist this spanking anyhow."
      Klingon ship is then hit with an Ion/ EMP burst leaving it powerless drifting in space, follow by the Borg stealing all the Klingon alcohol.
      Klingons , " For this insult, you have chosen war."
      " Response to the new Borg threat."

    So, this might be a dumb question but, after watching star trek from ~1984 on, has there ever been a reason given as to why star ships always seem to approach a solar system on a 2-D plane, instead of just flying in from top or bottom? From a fluff perspective, it makes it so systems can have defense in depth (and I see that as a good thing), but was there ever a "crunchy" reason given? Something like 'traveling outside of the natural gravity plane in a heliosphere causes a massive reduction in (sub)light drive speed' ???

    Unfortunately us with the 1st RRTF were pulled back earlier. Our combination of Cloaking and experimental armor generators was deemed “ too valuable “ for 6 prototype warships and a heavily modified Sovereign class. We were there at the fall of DS9, we were there for the fall of Betazed. During that battle we got there late and were able to fight off wave after wave of Dominion attacks to keep an escape route open for those ships that survived the 10th fleet massacre. We escorted endeavor in to rescue anyone we could. We were basically fighting all the way back. We were ready to fight for andoria but they had us conduct hit and run attacks from Vulcan. Lost a lot of good friends in that war, saw many more loose it. Looking at all my artificial parts and how little of me is still left I feel the dominion was was my redemption from Wolf 359.

    That was wonderful, especially the thoughts of the Vulcan in the beginning and at the end - it hints to reunification with their "lost cousins". That could be a mini series of it´s own. (did I hear it right that 10 Mio Vulcans died during the Dominion war? Really?) Although I sometimes get the impression that these war episodes (and the DS9 tv series in general) are quite favorable to the Federation. It seems a bit "unrealistic" to let the Federation win so many battles with fewer numbers just due to smarter tactics and technical advantages that may have been there in comparison to the Cardassian fleets but not to the Dominion´s. But that should not come across as critique, I just wasn´t convinced by so much plot armour (as shown in the DS9 series) for the Federation. They should have suffered more. Your Battlespace series is marvelous and fixes many of these plot wholes.

      Don't forget, a lot of the ships the federation was using, Sovereign, Akira, Steamrunner and Defiant classes were built to fight the Borg. An infinitely more dangerous adversary than the Dominion. And SF's idea of hollowing out, up armoring and up weaponizing ships like the Galaxy and Nebula class gave them a true tank of a warship, able to absorb more punishment than their Dominion contemporaries. Starfleet learned a valuable lesson in the USS Odyssey disaster, and admirals like Nacheyev put those lessons to practice.

      @@LARGO125 Yes, but the numbers of those advanced ships should be negligible compared to Dominion ships, which had formidable battle ships across all ship classes. Most of SF consisted of old Miranda, Excelsior, Nebula, Ambassador, some Galaxy etc. class ships. Some of them were refitted but most not. Those newer ship classes like Akira, Steamrunner, Norway might have been in production for awhile and should be producable in an acceptable amount of time.
