    Today we are going to take a look at the USS Raven.
    As seen on Star Trek Voyager.
    It has limited weaponary, but is still much larger than a shuttlecraft/runabout.
    With 4 Decks, i'm thinking this ship should have strong shielding versues a Runabout.
    The Runabout does have Micro-Torpedoes which will be problematic for the Raven.
    Let's see what happens.
    Played in Star Trek Bridge Commander Kobayashimaru.

      Regardless, in universe the Runabout (particularly the combat configured one) should crush the Raven. The Raven in voyager wasn't even a Starfleet ship, it was essentially a civilian yacht the Federation have to the Hansens for their research. While the Runabout was slugging it out with Jem'hadr fighters.

    😲Oh wow Admiral.. love this.. Never seen the Raven in the game, nice .. I liked that ship... and lots of room, and all the tech the parents had and followed the Borg without being detected for months.. was crazy.. but like the Queen said'' that technology was assimilated'' and eeh Seven's father was be the Queen's side and never aged.. hmm. wow. Her parents developed Multi-adaptive shielding was a deflector shield stealth technology. and tracked a Borg cube for 3 years gosh.. but that 13.2 sec the Borg saw them eeh.. Wow I did not see that coming, gosh, yes the Raven was better equipped since went to study the Borg.. I always found this funny, even the MK 2 Shuttles, have warp, but the Ent D, redone from start to finish, the saucer had no warp, that is strange.. just saying.. but tiny ships, gosh the made in Voyager the Delta Flyer, with a warp core but how.. I am gonna have to go see that episode.. great battle Admiral! Just don't get assimilated lol...!😊🖖

    • @jonasklose6472
      @jonasklose6472 6 місяців тому +2

      I guess for the saucer section it's less a problem of a warp core but the missing warp nacelles that would be required for warp.
      Besides, I guess the saucer separation was meant for leaving the saucer section behind somewhere safe so the civilians could stay behind during a battle. Or when there was a problem with the warp core for the crew to flee. It was also invented in a time of peace for the federation. So waiting in a saucer section to get picked up wasn't that bad. They also still had impulse and were able to 'cruise' in warp for a short while after separation without actually being able to go to warp once separated.
      Shuttles on the other hand had a requirement to be able to go to warp. For the transport of only a couple of passengers, medical or other supplies, diplomatic or espionage missions etc.

    • @jonasklose6472

      Oh and for Sevens father not aging: He was borg. The borg used technology to speed up growth until adulthood, but then, they slowed down or stopped aging for the drones with their nanobots and incredibly advanced medical technology. Remember that there are few to none old borg. Possibly because they don't assimilate too old people as they're deemed to be not worthy for assimilation. Also, Sevens parents could have been in their fifties and she in her late twenties during the show. So they wouldn't have been too old even without considering that Seven was aging faster due to Borg technology.
      For me, this made much more sense than if Sevens parents would have been shown as old.

  • @larqven0192
    @larqven0192 6 місяців тому +2

    Runabouts are glorified shuttles when you get right down to it. Their main virtue is that they go almost as fast as starship cruising speeds, and faster than most civilian craft, and that they can carry rather more than a typical shuttle. Yes, they have weapons, and plenty of battles were fought with them in DS9, but they generally just 'poke' their foes and try and stay alive. A Starfleet crew in a runabout is an underdog in almost any fight, but at least they can fight.
    The micro-torpedo looks impressive, but really, full scale torpedoes don't seem to win many fights, despite Next Gen seemingly putting a much greater emphasis on them. It's not so much the runabout is better armed, but that the roll bar is a security blanket that makes officers feel better about sending personnel out in them.
    This battle between the lightweights does seem to provide a visual explanation for why we don't often see fighters in the Star Trek universe.

  • @RighteousPursuitMinistries

    The Raven would easily win this. It was equipped with multi-adaptive shields. In Dark Frontier when the Delta Flyer was equipped with multi-adaptive shields, it was able to take heavy torpedo bombardment from a pursuing Borg Diamond. Clearly these shields are very combat effective. Not even the entire payload of the Runabouts torpedoes would get through. In fact, the runabout wouldn't even detect the Raven, as multi-adaptive shields can also be used as a cloak from sensors.

    That's quite an interesting battle. The Raven may be larger but it's an older design compared to the Runabout. The Runabout's torpedoes should have had more impact on the Raven's shields. I always wondered what weaponry the Raven carried. It wasn't mentioned in "Dark Frontier". But as you pointed out. It's a science vessel but apparently can defend itself (Oberth Class cough cough). The multi adaptive shielding wouldn't have been of much use in combat I think since this shielding was only designed to fool Borg sensors.

      @RighteousPursuitMinistries 6 місяців тому +1

      When the Delta Flyer was equipped with multi-adaptive shields in Dark Frontier, it was able to take heavy torpedo bombardment from a pursuing Borg Diamond. So I'd say multi-adaptive shielding is highly combat effective as well as a sensor-fooler.

      @@RighteousPursuitMinistries We don't know much about the fire power the Queen's command ship had. It seems to be a quite small craft if you compare it's size to the Delta Flyer. I think the fact that the Delta Flyer could take so many hits in that episode was just bad writing. And since the Borg assimilated that technology already it shouldn't be effective anymore. They caught the Delta Fyler quite easily by the way before by locking on with a tractor beam. But I guess you can look at it both ways.

    Interesting that while the Raven was built before a Runabout...specifically a Mark 2 Runabout that it couldn't get through the Runabout's shields unless you diverted pretty much all power to the phasers. I'm surprised that the Hansen's didn't have any torpedoes installed for the Raven.

    • @RetroBadgerGaming

  • @charleslennon1
    @charleslennon1 6 місяців тому +1

    Wonderful and unexpected. If you had drawn the Raven into an atmosphere, would its shields have been strained enough to allow the Runabout's phasers to create more damage? That said, it appears to me that Raven is a more "solid-state" and long-range runabout. If you look at its forward section ending in the middle, it seems that it has been 'inserted' into a separate engine section.
    Has anyone else noticed that?
    If it is indeed modular, I could imagined a more robust rear assembly capable of carrying ordnance, or a stronger power core, maybe a dedicated and more intensive sensors array, or a countermeasures package.
    One more thing I noticed about the Raven, it seems comparable to the Cardassian Keldon in size if not weaponry.
    How well would it perform against that class?

    I actually think you should have fired as many torpedoes as you could all at once instead of being stingy (but only when you had a near guarantee of hitting all of them). It would increase the chances of scoring a critical hit while reducing their rapid repair advantage (perhaps target a subsystem from the start, that is what I have done when I want to win at all costs and don't care about style). Thing is though, I have practiced David v Goliath battles in this game though to the point where I can actually sometimes win as the defiant vs a hutet (though I haven't played in a few years so I'm probably rusty) so I often expect too much from people in battles that seem to be evenly matched.

    It is quite irrational for a modified merchant ship to have such an offensive capability, especially knowing that an analysis of technology that the Borg considered sufficiently advanced would be enough to initiate an attack. Or it would be easier to track, even if the ship is prepared to try to hide itself electromagnetically (not visually), because the federation's signed treaties forbade that.
    Additionally, the Raven seemed to have a much greater agility than that runabout, which doesn't make any sense.
