That was VERY effective against Kessok ships in vanilla Bridge Commander. The bottom shields were always weaker than the rest of the ship, and taking down the warp core was the only reliable way I could take them down before their buddies started wrecking me.
Memory Beta says the Lexington's strange beam is a Quantum Carrier-Wave Beam, and it seems to be for punching a hole in the shields to send a boarding party through.
so its an advanced boarding cruiser? as that was a thing back then in the old SFC games where boarding an enemy would legtimately end the fight either forcing them to give up, or self destruct
The Lexington is beautiful, I love the what Klingon Academy did for expanding the federation fleet. I believe the reasoning was a command ship with a focus on science/coms capacities over the constitution’s more rounded capabilities and maneuverability. The Lexington, Constitution refit, and Excelsior are a beautiful trio. As are the Ulysses, Missouri, and Yamato class battleships.
I noticed the green beam did bugger all to the shields but messed up the hull when the shields were down. Reminds me of the Borg cutting beam to be honest.
I think both the Lexington & Missouri belong in STO. Those were fantastic designs in Klingon Academy. Those beefy pylons on the Lexington gave me the impression that ship was built for some serious fighting. The Missouri was an absolute TANK! And on a tangent, I kinda wish STO would use the ST:TMP "thunderclap" torpedo sound for "high yield" shots. That was my fav torpedo sound effect ever! Had some serious teeth to it!
Don't fire at his bridge, you might kill his pet targ. 😄 While cloaking, according to Generations, yes. But that's a Next Generation torpedo. However, when Kirk hacked the Klingon shields... one was enough (let's not waste ammo 😆) Oh no... now you're bringing back more memories. (Scotty) : He stayed at his post while the other cadets ran.😔 As for disruptors, yes. Energy weapons break down shields. That's why the Defiant was equipped with phasers that fired like disruptors.
The point he's making is rather that Chang was apparently in a ship similar to that of the Duras sisters', and that seemed to take a few photon torpedos before it went up. But the reality of it is that Star Trek, in terms of the movies and the shows, is rightly unconcerned with such trivialities.
@@MegaZeta You said nothing against my point of a B'rell class is way smaller and less armored than a K'Tinga. The Duras sisters ship blew up with one torp unshielded because of my above stated point. RBG is in error to imply that the 2 ships are even close to similar in ability to take punishment.
the Lexington is a surprisingly beautiful ship and I know it's unlikely but I really hope it comes to star trek online or at least something that looks similar to it
@Christianos_Theophile i like the ambassador but never a fan of the engineering hull and deflector always seemed a bit unbalanced to me and that deflector was way to large.
3:57 It would depend on where the ship was hit and the strength of the torpedo. It shoulda been at least enough to dust their bridge though, either way.
you know I always wondered what the story with the lexington class was, as I always thought this was a beautiful design but could never figure out where i had seen it and when, as those interplay boys between this, the TMP dreadnought and the Okinawa Class, really knew how to design some proper cool ships, and I REALLY wish Eaglemoss would have made a model of them that and the premonition, also this almost seems like an advanced form of a Frigate, kinda like an inbetween of the advanced heavy cruiser and the old Enterprise in SFC as I really like the look of it with the old style pylons mixed with the new, although its almost too sleak and too close together, like its missing something, like a lower torpedo launcher under the engineering section, just to stick out and give it some definition actually you know what it is, this is a TMP version of one of the wrecks from the best of both worlds, just sands a pair of engines like a TMP version of the New Orleans class, as that was a mini galaxy, this is a mini excelsior with a giant green punching beam which would explain why this seems so familiar yet different, like we've seen it before, just in a different form.
😨Oh my, I like the Lexington. not seen it in games but heard of it in shows and the movies, that got kaboomed. eeh.. The style is nice and special beam wow. for the era , Section 31 , just saying. lol. and Kronos One. gosh.. That name I have flashbacks of ''Undiscovered Country'' wow. and was tough too. hmm.. Battlecruiser and Chancellor Gorkon, I liked him.. Chang eeh. had is special little toy. lol PS2 Encounters.. Gosh.. no phasers on Klingon ships, just disruptors.. this one I need to replay to see, forgot. gosh.. Even the Defiant, just pulse phasers, and no phaser, but here has one hmm.. and if ships have it, well only an angle part to fire if out of that angle pff,. need to turn the ship around eeh. I just beam the enemies power and weapons lol. I would say the same, whom at the controls and tactics.. great battle loved it!😊🖖
I believe that green beam weapon was a tractor beam-based weapon that supposedly would damage the other ship by inducing 'push and pull' shockwaves, as I recall.
K'Tingas are reckoned to be about half as powerful as the Connie Refit. However, Kronos 1 was the flagship of the Empire and was better armored, armed and had superior shields than the average K'Tinga. The Lexington Class looks like a heavy cruiser, so probably still a bit superior to Kronos 1.
I agree that the Lexington looks like if a Connie Refit and an Excelsior class mated and that was the result lmao. Other than that it's a cool ship. This was a fun one to watch. I agree seemed like a proper match from Klingon Academy. Sadly I sucked at that game. Strangely enough, I was much better at Starfleet Academy. Both ships are evenly matched and I agree it comes down to the Captain, really. As far as Kronos One taking one torpedo.... it just showed what happened in the game. Maybe in real life...but I think Kronos One has some strong armor. It's not your average K'tinga. It was the Chancellor's flag ship.
Suggestion for a new weapon: That Last Torpedo. It's always that last torpedo that does what all other torpedoes before it failed to do, so might as well have a super-duper powerful one, even more powerful than transphasic torpedoes, that can one shot pretty much anything. 😛
Score one for the Kronos One. That's the first time I've seen it outright win a battle. While yeah, the Lexington was probably the better ship, the proportions feel just a little bit off, in a way I can't quite explain.
Funnily enough, I was just re-watching DS9, on Sky Mix 18:00 weekdays. It was late in series 3 and the Lexington docks at the station, as a Nebula class ship 🖖
In Klingon ships if their bridge is destroyed they had their secondary bridge in engineering. and their second officer was always in engineering or chief engineer to provide continuity of command.
Love, klingon Academy. still play it from time to time. It's definitely my fav Star Trek game. Thankfully, as I'm a bit of a data horder, I still have most of the old mods from back in the day 😄 it had so many amazing ship designs.
The explosive power of a photon torpedo is one of the most inconsistent facts in star trek. About a gram of anti matter, when reacted with matter would result in a 40 kiloton explosion, which is more powerful than both world war 2 nukes combined. I highly doubt federation warheads only contained just a gram. Nothing a starship is plated with should be able to protect against that. If I remember, in Q who they say that firing a photon torpedo at the borg cube when it was so close would destroy the enterprise too. If one torpedo detonating too close would destroy a galaxy it should basically take out anything. And yet we see ships get pounded by torpedos and survive. So even when they say the shields have failed, all I can assume is that they mean that its still doing enough to cause the warheads to detonate, at reasonable range but basically isn't doing much to mitigate force anymore. Because otherwise the shields failing should basically just be the same as calling for an abandon ship.
Its if the ship is hit at the perfect moment while its DECLOAKING it will instantly be destroyed. Chang's ship was simply cloaked. Also doesnt work at all when a shit is entering cloak..
I always targeted the warp core in my battles. Like Kahn would say: "I've deprived your ship of power, and now I intend to deprive you of your life."
That was VERY effective against Kessok ships in vanilla Bridge Commander. The bottom shields were always weaker than the rest of the ship, and taking down the warp core was the only reliable way I could take them down before their buddies started wrecking me.

either forcing them to give up, or self destruct
@@kavinskysmith4094 In KA boarding was also a veritable tactic, albeit not really used much by me when playing.
It was actually a tractor beam (modified) that causes even damage to all shields (if they are all up) and hull damage.
That was Seriously Amazing I really like the look of the USS Lexington & Kronos One looks really cool aswell

3:54 Chang had the advantage of reciting Shakespeare in the original Klingon
The pen is mightier then the sword ... and photon torpedos apparently
Don't fire at his bridge, you might kill his pet targ. 😄
While cloaking, according to Generations, yes. But that's a Next Generation torpedo. However, when Kirk hacked the Klingon shields... one was enough (let's not waste ammo 😆)
Oh no... now you're bringing back more memories. (Scotty) : He stayed at his post while the other cadets ran.😔
As for disruptors, yes. Energy weapons break down shields. That's why the Defiant was equipped with phasers that fired like disruptors.
of course chang had a specially modified bird of prey which could fire torppedos when cloaked. so it probably also had modified shields.
The Duras sisters were in a bird of prey B'Rel class.way smaller and less armored than a K'Tinga
The point he's making is rather that Chang was apparently in a ship similar to that of the Duras sisters', and that seemed to take a few photon torpedos before it went up. But the reality of it is that Star Trek, in terms of the movies and the shows, is rightly unconcerned with such trivialities.

RBG is in error to imply that the 2 ships are even close to similar in ability to take punishment.
The thumbnail for this video is on point 🤌
If the pylons weren't so wide, that would be a good looking ship
It was the Ulysses, the tractor been was a powerfully hold and drag to line up an enemy ship to its front. This enables it to easily fire all weapons.
Kronos one is a thing of beauty.
Totally agree 🖖
the Lexington is a surprisingly beautiful ship and I know it's unlikely but I really hope it comes to star trek online or at least something that looks similar to it
looks like a mixture of constitution, excelsior and ambassador classes that deflector is definitely the same sort of style as the enterprise c.
The Ambassador class is the best looking ship in Star Trek, IMO
@Christianos_Theophile i like the ambassador but never a fan of the engineering hull and deflector always seemed a bit unbalanced to me and that deflector was way to large.
3:57 It would depend on where the ship was hit and the strength of the torpedo. It shoulda been at least enough to dust their bridge though, either way.
The K’Tinga class was also mentioned in Star Trek the Next Generation

as I really like the look of it with the old style pylons mixed with the new, although its almost too sleak and too close together, like its missing something, like a lower torpedo launcher under the engineering section, just to stick out and give it some definition
actually you know what it is, this is a TMP version of one of the wrecks from the best of both worlds, just sands a pair of engines
like a TMP version of the New Orleans class, as that was a mini galaxy, this is a mini excelsior with a giant green punching beam
which would explain why this seems so familiar yet different, like we've seen it before, just in a different form.
Chang BoP took several torpedoes from that era, Duras sisters had same ship hit by starfleet torpedo after 80 years of improvement

We need to popularise the Lexington so it appears more often. It’s a beautiful design. Clean and simple.

Hmmm...if you could, if the model exists, a Belknap Refit vs 3 K'Tinga class ships, that would be amazing
Or maybe a trio of D7s instead
Could you do one with babylon 5's Excalibur?
Did you remove your tips option?
How about the lexington vs enterprise b
Definitely depends on who flies each ship
Ktinga had that
I love klingon ships but federation vessel is off the hook 😊
Klingon academy ships please🙏❤️
Love, klingon Academy. still play it from time to time. It's definitely my fav Star Trek game. Thankfully, as I'm a bit of a data horder, I still have most of the old mods from back in the day 😄 it had so many amazing ship designs.
Has the Kronos One mod been released yet?
Can you show the uss discovery being obliterated by every ship please
Is Chang in charge of Kronos one? 😬
i think from a visual standpoint, the k'tinga class is my favorite klingon ship.
It seems like the AIs maneuvering is a little brain dead. He had his top facing you for some time while you wailed on him.
Сколько можно установить на игру перед тем как она не будет запускаться на римастер версию прошу помочь
Is the Lexington available for download?
Indeed! It's available on Gamefront
These battles show that the AI is sub-par. If you can win both sides!
Does going for the bridge actually do anything??
On some ships it does. It results in the destruction of the ship.
