Unlikely Duel: Niagara Class vs. Romulan Vertical Warbird! Star Trek Bridge Commander

[@MrGomerpyell]

I tilted my screen for a second. 😂

You can be forgiven, it's an unsettling experience using the mod itself 😂

[@MSR-1701]

Nice Showcase! 😅 Love Atolm's take on the Vertical Warbird, and the Niagara is a gem!😅

[@TrekBattles]

Thanks! 😁 The V Warbird is very trippy 😅

This game gets several things wrong, especially when it comes to tactical systems of the ships. The Galaxy Class had type 10 phasers. The Enterprise B had type 8 phasers and the Ambassador era ships such as the Ambassador Class, Niagara Class and so on, had type 9 phasers.

Well it's good that games books and comics aren't considered cannon because then we'd have some serious problems 😅

[@ralfhtg1056]

@TrekBattles but in some cases I wished for novels to be canon: the Stat Trek: Destiny novels are such an example.

[@TrekBattles]

I get it, Star Trek games have a great history of Ships being produced for the in-game universe that have been promoted to canon after appearing on screen. But we can't lose sight of the fact that games aren't canon and exist for the most part in their own universe.

I love Bridge Commander, so I don't stress on whether the ship's tactical systems stick strictly to the lore or not. It's a great game regardless of canon or non-canon status.

Why does the computer never use the cloaking device for Romulan ships...honestly this class should beat the hell out of a Niagara.

[@MSR-1701]

BC AI can be...um, *weird* at times...😂 I've had matches where the AI did nothing but cloak and decloak only long enough to fire some bolts, I've had matches where it cloaked in my weapon arcs, and I've had matches where the cloak is forgotte 😂

[@aaronatwood9298]

Umm, someone misread their roman numerals. Type 9 not 11. 😂 I want to like the Niagara, but I wanna see it in its original form with the Ambassador Nacelles instead of Galaxy type. I have 3 loves of ships Ambassador, Connie2, and Defiant.

[@sharonec5419]

So I take it the Human factor is what won the battle for you in both ships here. I am not a fan of the Vertical class Warbird just looks wrong from too many angles. Was really hoping the Niagara would win the 2nd fight.

[@TrekBattles]

I think they're quite evenly matched. But agreed the human factor plays a lot in my videos. I like to find ways for the underdog to win

[@xheralt]

Romulan Vertibird?!

[@TrekBattles]

🤣
