I wish they would make a computer version of SFB that was accurate to the game, and not an attempt to appeal to twitchy gamers. As in turn based, not real time. Whatta concept!
I'm not an expert on the lore, but after some quick googling and a look at Memory Alpha it looks like an impulse engine is basically a type of fusion rocket. Which means it would shoot a bunch of plasma out the back.
you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf these days =)
@Roberto Quinton Definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)
I enjoyed this game when I was younger, but since they had such a limited design lineage to work from, I always thought that they should have been more creative with ship designs. But then, I had the same problem with the four federation designs that we saw in TOS.
It would take a long time to explain, but the designer of SFB is an engineer. The ships of the SFU are designed based on his vision of efficiency in ship construction, which is considered in great detail compared to other games. This results in what you are all today calling "kit bashing" but SFB players used to call "cookie cutter designs" before the "kit bashing" term had migrated from modelers too gamers. So most ships of the SFU are what modern gamers will call "kit bashed", but if you know the game lore there is a vast amount of information explaining why this is. It really is very realistic from a ship construction perspective, and very much how real world navy ships are built.
Great :) we look forward to hearing more about that!
@@SGUDistantHope Some of the most recent products of the SFU are the "Master Starship Books" (MSSB). There is one for each race, so a Federation MSSB, a Klingon MSSB, etc. Stuart will understand it as the final revision of the R section, ship descriptions. But it is also a more evolved version of the R section. The new MSSB books are what you guys should be looking at if you want information about the ships.
@@SGUDistantHope I thought I'd also mention that you don't have to buy the paper books, you can get them as PDF files through Warehouse23. You can find that on www.starfleetgames.com. It will still cost you, but they are available as an easily obtained downloadable PDF file. So far there are MSSBs for Federation, Klingon, Kzinti, and Lyran. Gorn is coming very soon.
Actually, because you make videos that advertise the SFU, I bet Jean Sexton at ADB would give you guys free PDF versions of the MSSB books if you asked her for them...
@@kavikkang9411 It makes limited sense.... I mean do you really need a runway for shuttles and a hanger?
@@robinvan1983 ROC, a more powerful version of this ship, also carries 6 "Fast Patrol Ships" on external mech links. "Fast Patrol Ships" are like "PT Boats in space", Defiant is only slightly larger than a PF. So ROC is basically a slightly better version of this ship with a squadron of 6 Defiant-like ships riding on its back. ROC is one of the more powerful ships in all of SFB, it's not near the top of the list but its on the list.
you know it would be cool if you talked about the firepower of the ship in comparison of firepower, shields, and power.
Star Fleet Battles is still produced today
Change the color tone, looks like paint by numbers. Would be 100 times better with improved lighting and shades.
"It is not good looking" -- to say the least 😁
There phaser 4s
Sigh. Stop trying to tie SFB ships to the D'deridex, K'tinga, and other movie/TNG-era designs. It doesn't work and it makes no sense. The SFU (Star Fleet Universe - the SFB version of the Star Trek universe) is an alternate timeline that splits off of Star Trek after the animated series, and BEFORE Star Trek - The Motion Picture.
Actually, no Romulan ship can use the ship separation rules in SFB - not even ships like the KR, which are the Klingon designs that surprise Scotty in "The Enterprise Incident" - and certainly not any of the fully Romulan-built ships like the Condor. The separation systems have been removed, not just disabled. See rule G12.13 in the SFB rulebook. Note that the impulse engines on the forward "head" section of the ship were added by the artist and are NOT present on the SSD (Ship Systems Diagram) from the actual game.
The Condor is arguably the most powerful non-carrier in the game (although there is the Condor-H, the heavy DN version, which adds two extra ph-1). Thank you for this - please cover more SFB ships!
Played Star Fleet Battles in High School back in 1983/84 and had a lot of fun.
We had a Regular Federation Player, Kzinti Player, Lyran Player, Tholian Player and I played Romulan.
I remember a Large Fleet Battle we had between Romulan and Kzinti which was crazy with all the Plasma R Torpedoes and Kzinti Missiles. As I remember it the Battle came down to My Condor and about 4 Light Cruisers and about the same on the Kzinti side using all the tricks we could think of to stay in the fight.
I'm into 40K now but would love to get a hold of a good Star Fleet Battle Computer Game.
Frankly. its a fair looking ship; until the head piece is seen. It's too big. its too, something, but the head is UGLY. Very, very, ugly.
Note to self.. I
Don't watch, as throwing something through the TV can be really really expensive 😀
wow and this guy aledgedly plays? gtfo no Romulan ship has a detachable boom section like Klingon desighns
According to the SSD there is no impulse drive behind the head
and only one plasma R launcher not 2
And 2 plasma G launchers on the original designs. Later they received a refit that upped the shields, improved the G torps to S added 2 F torps and added more phaser 3s for point defense.
Starbase phasers are ph-4 in SFB. There is no such thing as a "ph-10" lol.
It looks like a daedalus wearing a romulen costume made of cardboard for hollloween.
This would make an interesting 1:350 model kit
I wish I could know where to go to read the lore on this beauty.
Anyone else thought the sound was messed up at first? 🤣
Samuel... is it.. dare I say it... sleek? :)
for me the neck feels too short
Starbase phasers are phaser-4s
FINALLY!!
No real thrust involved in impulse drive? 🤔 Isn't that fusion reaction propulsors with thrust passing through a warp coil or grid? So there is thrust. It's even propelled further by the warp effect. Question is: does the warp effect makes it harmless to objects in conventional space like the ship itself?
warp coils are not involved in impulse drive. designed-in single point failures for all drive systems are not survival positive.
@@xheralt Well impulse do use some form of warp effect. So there's definitely something using the same principles in there to significantly increase the exhaust.
Starbases use Phaser-IV's which can do 20 points of damage up to 6 hexes away. By way of comparison, the Condor's front mounted Plasma Type-R torpedo could do 50-points up to 10 hexes away.
They should do an episode on all of the modular Romulan ships. The Demonhawk modular dreadnaught was always a favorite.
Just one of these things took out an Andromedan Dominator.
I built a miniature back in the mid 80s. Still have it.
I havent gushed recently gentlemen but I am such a fan of your channel and I really appreciate what you do! God bless you guys!
You should take a look at SFB ships from non-Star Trek species(hydrans,lyrans,mæsron,etc.)
The bottom view looks like the Griffin class in Armada and STC III
Hello old friend ☺
People probably don't realise just how old this design is, 25+ years at least
I really hate to crack on peoples designs, but this one feels a little too kitbashed to me. Maybe if the ”neck” and I am assuming bridge at the front were better integrated into the standard TOS looking Romulan bird then it might look a little better.
That's a ship profile only a Romulan matriarch could love!
Its horrible, it's a combination of different designs which together i don't think work. From underneath it looks like the boom and aft section of the old hospital ships of the federation. Merged with a traditional romulan ship, with the head like the klingon battle cruiser. The head is too heavy looking compared to rest of the ship, and i take issue with it being the start of the lineage of the D'deridex i don't see that at all. It's great to see something different but, still it's horrible.
I remember at one point, way back when, flying an optimized Condor (ROC)
11:53 I think that those were code-names given that Earth had limited intelligence on the Romulans.
Hey, Trekyards, you guys ever going to do another STO week to discuss any of the more recently released ships or maybe just in general other ships you wanted to include in the last STO week but they just didn't make the final list?
Centurion Class from Klingon academy is worlds better
Does not detach either Klingon ship given to Romulans had impulse engines taken out replaced with reactors
I haven't played SFB since the 80's, iirc none of the Romulan sips booms detached.
The mighty D7aedalus-class Bird of Prey!
I really like the look of the Romulan Condor Dreadnought
I love all of the kitbashy TOS era inspired stuff.
Well most at least.
20 thousand + fan made ships released for star fleet COMMAND the community created atleast 11 professional development authors but no one ever talks about the Dynaverse community huh!
We-Got-Green__ Lightsabers yet I’m intrigued, please tell me more
Thank you for sharing this, I was going to make a video about different Star Trek universe, communities, etc. have any more to share?
@@Jcyberinc go to Dynaverse. Net look thought the history.
@@Jcyberinc Armada ,Bridge commander were moded heavy with fan made work! Some moded sins of the solar empire series of games other did freelancer. Not all trek games but have trek mods using work from the Dynaverse community. Battleclinic. Net was the keeper of most of the models for many platforms but it's gone now.
I personally don’t like those designs, looks like a kitbash gone wrong
OH MY!
That ship is obese.
That ship from Futurama.
Yeah SFB!
I'm surprised you didn't mention ROC (Refit of Condor), that was the version that "frightened small children" (as they say in the SFU). ;-)
Kavik Kang ROC stands for "Romulan Optimised Condor"
@@coreyhalgren2231 Yes, it does now. I think changed at some point, the SFU changes a lot. I'm pretty sure it was originally "Refit of Condor" and it changed later. Either that or me and everyone I played with used to call it the wrong thing, that is also possible, haha.
No intro music??
oops :) still on the wrong audio track in the mix...ah well!
It's hideous. It's a D7 without the elegance.
I would have been "OK" if that retched STD show would have shown us that thing as "D7 Battle-cruiser".
D#deridex..D'deridex everywhere!
If your commander is snickering at your choice for the week, you may have made a mistake.
Condor is the most ugliest ship in trek now, use to be discovery but that's gained a few points
Boy, I can tell you haven't looked at the whole SFB minis catalog. The Condor's one of the better looking designs, which says a lot about how horrid some of the rest of their ship designs are.
Where was your opening music
oops :) still on the wrong audio track in the mix...ah well!
