I get the feeling. The Borg doesn't feel as shocking because they are strong in a technological sense. While scary, it is hard for a 20th / early 21st century human to draw relateable real world experience to comprehend. This scene however, demonstrates how kamikaze is still a threat even in 24th century. Kamikaze is something we can relate to from ww2. While largely unsuccessful due to superior Allied AA fire, some ships were indeed sunk and the psychological impact it inflicted to all of us (even those born after the war) likely will linger on for generations.

@@UNSFthe DS9 writing team said they used a Galaxy to underscore the point that in this situation, Picard and the Enterprise would have been destroyed. Sadly, how close the Dominion came to defeating the Federation and how devastating the war was has largely been glossed over by both the franchise and the fandom (many of whom didn't watch DS9 and never will). Instead Wolf 359 is considered a bigger deal.

Fitting additional armor to an existing ship class like the Galaxy would have been expensive and time consuming (and the Federation was never much for armored hills, anyway...thus their shock at the addition of ablative armor to the Defiant) and chose instead to rely on their superior shield technology.

I think 3:43 may be one of the best looking VFX shots in Star Trek history. I normally don't like when they get too contrasty with the lighting and have super dark shadows. But it's used incredibly effectively in this shot. It adds some extra movement with the light sweep moving across the saucer, gives the scene a darker (literally) feel from the normal/brighter/more optimistic Star Trek tone, and it really lets you see the damaged Port nacelle.

It probably wouldn't have made much of a difference, we should remember that this was at a time that the Federation knew little to nothing about the Dominion but clearly they knew more about the Federation. We should also remember that the Defiant got a much stronger hull because the Federation didn't have a defence that were effective against the Dominion weapons, so who knows how the Defiant would have turned out before this event. But either way, as the war got going, the Federation learned a lot more about the Dominion and their capabilities, after that, galaxy class and likely all the other classes of ships got better suited to handle what the Dominion threw at them, hence why we see the Galaxy class ships kicking arse later in the war, especially against the bug ships which were more or less cannon fodder.

In every other episode, once your shields go down, you're as good as paper. It's INCREDIBLE that the Odyssey was able to hold up for ten minutes with no shields against an unfamiliar enemy. Part of this might be the Dominion toying with them, but even so, the damage control teams on that ship were heroes. So far, the honour of a letter suffix (Enterprise-D, Voyager-A, etc) seems to be reserved for protagonist ships. But I hope one day the name Odyssey-A is canonised.

Starfleet has always been over-reliant on shields to protect their ships. The Odyssey and the Enterprise proved that Starfleet ships were paper tigers when you can bypass their shields completely. Once they found a way to block the Dominion polaron beams with their shields and actually started armoring their ships, the Galaxy class became ton-for-ton far superior to the Dominion Battlecruiser. That's how a combined Dominion/Cardassian fleet could be completely locked down by a Federation fleet half its size during Operation Return in the episode Sacrifice of Angels.
@kyle223cat6 ай бұрын
I don't think that's what this scene shows at all. Despite essentially having no shields, the Odyssey was able to tank sustained heavy damage from 3 Dominion attack ships, which we know to be heavily armed. We see that it's still able to lay down phaser fire despite taking heavy damage, and it's still able to retreat at the end of the battle. The only reason it was destroyed was because it was rammed in possibly the worst possible location. The reason the Federation started doing better against the Dominion wasn't necessarily because it started putting armor on its ships (that definitely helped), but because they adapted their shields to the Dominion's polaron weapons. Put nearly any other ship in the Odyssey's position and it would have been destroyed in under a minute. My takeaway from this scene is the Galaxy class is incredibly durable despite not having shields.

@@kyle223cat The Galaxy class is my favorite Trek ship and always will be. I absolutely love the ship, and I'm the first to argue that it'll beat the Sovereign as a warship every single time if they both carry the same weapons. But, I'm not going to say it's without its weaknesses. Yes it tanked several Jem'Hadar attack ships, but it was barely in any condition to escape before they rammed it. The Enterprise-D blew up from a warp core breach while her shields were compromised and she took handful of hits from a century-old Bird of Prey. Before that, the D exploded from a stray ship scraping a warp nacelle in a groundhog day loop episode. If the Odyssey tanked those attack ships so well, it's because they didn't know where her weak spots were. It's because of sloppy writing that the Galaxy class is so weak when its shields are down, since the writers have the goal of making the ship go boom. That doesn't stop it from being canon though.

It was not the weapons fire that destroyed the odysee. It was the collision. They had reduced power to shields. The shields were set to disperse enemy fire not solid objects. They were damaged and the J'em hadar aimed at the engines. That took down containment of the warp core. After that matter meets antimatter and radiation annihilation turns the fusion plants into nuclear bombs destroying the ship. Fusion power is how they power the ship and impulse drive until the warp core is online.

Not in the episode or during the season. The writers and producers should have had the Odyssey and its crew as a constant presence throughout the second season.

There’s some logic to it - depending where they are, it could be months or longer before anyone can come help them. There’s a better chance of everyone surviving longer on the saucer vs escape pods.

I always wondered what would happen if the war went on a bit longer and we got to see the sovereign class deployed on the front lines, the U.S.S. Sovereign and Enterprise E both launched atleast a year before the war even started, chances are a few others existed around the time too, the Sovereign was without any shed of a doubt more powerful than anything else starfleet had made at that point, would have been cool seeing one lead a duo of excelsiors in a strike on a dominion carrier or something, considering how the E did against the Scimitar, I imagine a sovereign would have trashed several of those dominion ships with little effort, and with its profile being more akin to the tactically oriented ships like the Norway, saber, Steamrunner, akira and defiant, it would have been a harder ship to put down for the dominion, even if they got through its shielding.

Going into battle w/ only stardrive section are an incredibly stupid idea. As most of its main phaser arrays were on the saucer. Also by going w/ either saucer or stardrive, they only brought 50% of its shield power & its core computer processing effectiveness. (Just as the manual described, separation mode only mean for emergency evac. of the saucer section. When the destruction's inevitable; not to be deliberately exploided for tactical advantages.) That's why all Galaxy class have their maximum configuration during DW. So your counterargument are the correct one.

@NTJ19849 ай бұрын
@F22ERaptor Did Keogh make a mistake? Perhaps. Dominion beam weaponry was/is Poloron based, and that's always been a weakness for most shield tech in Star Trek. That's why the Klingons developed a Poloron based warhead. If I remember correctly, Dominion torpedo technology also made use of a similar Poloron based warhead comparable to their beam weaponry. It would be fair to say that the torpedoes could have also penetrated the shields. If all the ship had to deal with were beam weapons, then the shields might have stayed up. But with the defensive measures so easily bypassed, diverting that power to weapons wasn't a terrible idea. In the defense of Keogh, he literally had no way of knowing they were going to be rammed until it happened. I imagine him having a "Oh, shit!" moment in his head as he saw what was happening, kind of like Admiral Piet on the bridge of the Executor in Star Wars when the bridge gets rammed by an A-wing. Had the Dominion ship rammed into say, part of the outer saucer section, the ship would have been badly damaged, but probably could have limped home. It hit on the port side, up into the engineering section below and behind the main deflector array. Between all the energy and power in engineering and the section of the array the blew off and into the nacelle, I am not surprised that the ship blew up. To be fair, between Data, LaForge, Riker and Worf, the Enterprise probably would have survived, but it would have been in dock for months getting repaired. In order to sell the Dominion as the new serious threat, they had to drive it home. Could they have done it with a Miranda, Excelsior, Ambassador, New Orleans or any other ship? Yes, but with less effect. Of the four other classes I listed, only The New Orleans is new enough to be on par with the Galaxy, but is smaller, but possibly better armed. The other three are old enough that the argument could have been made that their age was why they were destroyed.

@@F22ERaptor By the time of the suicide run, Odyssey was as good as dead in the water. They didn't have warp drive, phasers, or even communications so it's extremely unlikely they could have diverted power back to shields. Assuming that Worf's request to go to battle readiness wasn't shot down like it usually was. Even if by some miracle they somehow had enough shield generators still working to deflect a ramming attack, that only means the Jem'hadar shoot them with more polaron beams until the shields go back down and then ram the ship to make their point. If anyone made a mistake, it was Starfleet Intelligence for having absolutely no information on the Dominion. They were also at fault for not following up on stories of the Borg. The only thing Keogh or anyone else in Starfleet knew about the Dominion or the Jem'hadar is that the Dominion wanted the people of the Alpha Quadrant to stay on their side of the anomaly. Hence why O'Brien said "we were retreating". Not only did Starfleet not know what lay ahead of them per Q's warning, but they didn't even bother to ask the locals about how things worked in the Gamma Quadrant.

However I feel the Yamato's destruction was bit more terrifying as everyone aboard, ship personnel, civilians and non-essential personnel all lost their lives. Whereas civilians and non-essential personnel from the Odyssey were dropped off on DS9 prior to this and therefore survived.

We don’t know from visual evidence that civilians and non-essential personnel were actually dropped off at DS9. No evacuation scenes and no sudden influx of people onto the station.

Well, the Odyssey did fight without shields.... Handled all that damage AND was managing to exit the theater, only succumbing once a suicide attack occurred. Now THAT'S engineering

Was as a strategic error of Starfleet sending the Odyssey in alone without any destroyer or cruiser escorts. Was a tactical error for the Odyssey to try and stay in the fight as long as it did without protection of shields.

Star Trek did a lot of lone ship actions. Perhaps because of budget.

WOW, not one single "Evasive Manuever Beta 2" or better yet why is the Odyssey sitting still the entire time until its too late. Poor decisions by the Captain and XO. Wondered how they did on their Kobayashi Maru test in Starfleet Academy.

Evasive maneuvers wouldn't help here. A Galaxy-class ship is far too large and slow to outmaneuver the Dominon's fast and maneuverable Jem Hadar attack ships

@@Lightsoul1987 no, she is not. In sacrifice of angels episode, you can see in background the Galaxy class were pretty fast & agile as she turn to port chasing a flight of three jemhadar bugs fighter, destroying one in single burst of her saucer phasers. Its common misconception, that big mean slow. That's not how physic work in space. In contrast, bigger mean you can have more powerful engine or more thruster, which in turn, give you faster and more maneuverable platform. To answer the question, why she just sit there in this episode, its simply because of budget constraint. Edit : but you'r right evasive maneuver probably won't work here, since they able to bypass her shield and she's outnumbered.

Dude... you can't do that stuff to a Galaxy class Starship!!! It deserves more respect and realistically would be tougher than that. That never sat well with me.

That’s precisely why they blew it up. The writers wanted to show the audience that the Dominion wasn’t fucking around, and the easiest way to do that was to destroy a ship that looked like the Enterprise
@Locutus Жыл бұрын
Realistically tougher??? How??? Its shields were useless against the Dominion's weapons. It took a pounding from 3 warships, over a 10-15 minute period (at least), destroyed 2 of 3, and the 3rd one did a kamikaze, which was what destroyed Odyssey. If it wasn't for the kamikaze, it would have survived.

@@Locutus That's what I'm saying. It was too easy for them to penetrate the shields from the start. Even against the Borg, the Enterprise's shields held for longer than that.
