They actually spent months on this, they minimized the effects in other episodes to have the time and budget to produce the battle sequences for the dominion war. That’s why between major battles, they had a wedding, a casino heist, and found time to play a baseball game in the middle of the largest war in Starfleet history. The producers were pretty genius, and the show was so character driven they could get away with it.

This is something I liked about SS9 for sure. Being a boat nerd, I loved that they continued the TNG tradition of having The Mighty Hood pop up at times, but made it more badass. In TNG she was out in thr sticks, doing imoirtant offscreen work for the most part, and turned up around Enterprised periodically. In DS9 she became a hero ship. Not because she was crewed by the protagonists, but because she did nighty things. Unlike her unhappy predecessor she sailed on favourable winds, at the very spearpoint of the Federation war effort.

Unless you have clearly superior speed and momentum, trying to go around a large defensive force just means you'll get hit in the flanks or rear at a decidedly inconvenient time, especially in space where there's really no terrain to hinder either side. In this case, even if the Starfleet force somehow got around the Dominion one, they'd ultimately be trapped between their pursuers and the upgraded DS9 itself, which we've established as pretty damned capable of holding off an entire fleet for some time.

A captain is a flag officer, and Sisko was under the wider command of Vice Admiral Ross, who he became adjutant to immediately after losing DS9. The fleet is technically under Ross, who leads the fleet when they attack Cardassia. Starfleet rarely has Admirals of any level command ships on their own, and Sisko is the commanding officer of DS9 and the Defiant.

@@randomrazr not neccesarrily. Here is one thing. The way computers inzersctvin Star Trek dont allow for thrm not to be AI, so where is a massive amount of AI in all Systems. Usually a ship big enough like the enterprise can pinpoint on a Single subsystem and shoot it out without destroying the ship. Nö way can any gunner do this from a desctop like console... Still they seem to do it. Solution: they only Tell us half the Story as screen time dont allow for unnessesary Details.... Did in the whole TNG and DS9 ever someone use a toilet? - you See.... Where are things untold, but that dont make them not existent. If where are AI powered aiming Systems, they rely hesvily on exact sensor readings. Sensor jamming is more easy for small ship as for big, because AI can extrapolate where the Impulse engine sits if only the End of the starbord warpnacelle gives a exact reding for A Split second. Oops. This means ewar for big sbips makes no sense, its blow against blow between These, but those fighters are another thing, small as they are they can without a Problem jam sensor readings in a bubble and rolling and dangling this bubble around, keeping thrmsrlf inside, means you can extrapolate nothing. In the Scene you See at one point a phaserbesm going out missing a fighter, being not even close and than sweeping around. Still missing, but such maneuver makes absolute no sense if you have accurate readings to even pinpoint subsystems if you want. Solution: as I said where are things untold and as the fighter makes no sense with accurate sensor readings and AI aiming and that sweeping phaserbeam also makes nö sense, the one solution that can explained both things is mostly plausible and that is that Ewar exist and works best for small ships. These guys font need shields, shields would never hold against a capital ship Main Phaser. Their only defense is speed and ewar. "best defense, not be where" some old sense once said. Thats what they do, they Set their ewar to full energy, their engine to full speed and automatic evasion maneuver and than concentrate on Overall direct ion and weapon use.

Instead of today’s nonsense from Star Wars or modern trek where the director seems to think that filling the screen with ships is the way to go, when instead it is silly, impossible to follow and just, terrible as a way to depict a battle.

This is normal to use red light in Navel combat operations as it is harder light to see in the distance at night making it harder to spot your ship. although having it blink is probably a TV thing. on a side note blue is starting to replace red light to make it easier to read computer displays. Also It is a secondary communication device if you lose communication with other parts of the ship. Cretan sections of a ship are sealed off during combat and you do not open those secured bulkhead doors under those conditions without orders. Having condition status red yellow etc conveys what rules to follow when you are unable to receive direct orders.

I often wonder if the writers intended for this whole battle to reveal the absolute depth of Dukat's self-crippling ego. He baits in the Starfleet force with the intent to destroy it, but he doesn't have to win this battle at all. He only has to buy time for the minefield to come down, allow Dominion reinforcements through the wormhole, and guarantee victory. Instead, he's so intent on swinging his dick in front of Weyoun and the Founder that he employs a more aggressive strategy, allowing Sisko - the one being in all existence with enough clout to make the Prophets listen to him - to reach the wormhole and barter with his life to make the reinforcements disappear. Dukat was right: victory was in his grasp. But it wasn't the kind he wanted, so he threw it away. Am I reading too much into this, or is this an example of writing with fantastic subtext? None of the dialogue calls attention to it, so I honestly don't know.

Something I thought was wierd after the finally of picard was in all scenes in the or ds9 the galaxy was a huge lumbering ship in its menuverability. Yet data gets ahold of it and its like a freaking defiant in how it can mve and shoot. Im sure other helmsmen woupd have some sort of skill to do near the same if let off their orders leash.

With all that "space", you'd figure they'd just go around the blockade.

the blockade has warp engines, too

I never liked the fleet battles in DS9. Everything is packed in so close together like they are fighter craft, and Sisko giving orders in a fleet makes no sense, he is a captain, not a flag officer.

I would have used the red matter and full warp😂

I love DS9. Best star trek show still. However the people writing these battle scenes had no idea of combat. If all the starfleet ships would have kept going straight more would have gotten through. You can see several going wrong way. Also why was sisko the only captain to realize the ships were to close?

Why was a junior Captain running things instead of one of the many many admirals?

At the time I would watch DS9 it was a ok show for me I liked Star Trek the next generation and Star Trek voyager were my favorites DS9 had to much of this bajoran religion story line and with the whole rest of the many stories lines the writers were over loading on at the time.

One of the proverbial phrases in Act 1 of his play Phormio (161 BC) is fortes fortuna adiuvat, or “fortune favors the strong.” The poet Virgil was the first to use the exact phrase audentes Fortuna iuvat (“fortune favors the bold”)."

Why is it that all these space SIFI shows do not use real tactics? Just go watch some Eve online and figure it out. no stand-off weapons, no electronic warfare, no capitals or carriers,

You're in this battle, but you're assigned to a Miranda. Maybe 10% of them survived but certainly some of them did. Are you on one of them?

Why didn't they just move 1000km up or down relative to the enemy fleet, and warp to DS9 from there?
