That's what made The Wounded such a powerful episode. Captain Maxwell was right, but the way he went about proving it, nearly started a second Federation-Cardssian War. And it was only because the Nebula Class was such a powerful ship, as this video shows, that the Phoenix wasn't lost with all hands.
@@paulrasmussen8953 It is easy to imagine what could happen if, after an all-out war against Cardassia and then perhaps another with who knows that because of the changelings, a massive arrival of the Dominion, it had been an almost unstoppable disaster.
@@paulrasmussen8953 Just as Odo was already around long before, who knows how many more had gone unnoticed. Perhaps not until the discovery of the wormhole at Bajor, but, considering that the first war between the Federation and Cardassia lasted 19/20 years, the second may have lasted a similar duration. There is too much chance that they will complicate things for the Alpha and Beta quadrants
People sleep on the Nebula. They are a beast. 85% of the fighting ability of the Galaxy, except they built like 100s of Nebulas. No Galor sub-type is ever a match for a Nebula Class, even the reconn variants. Not even the Dominion War Galors. It takes at least two Galor Type IIIs to match a Nebula.
The oft cited "85% capabilities" refers to the stock version. Before any module was installed. The most common variant actually has more torp tubes than the Galaxy. I believe they became the standard post Wolf 359. We can only confirm the Belerophon having it during the battle. The Melbourne had engine pods, and we don't know which pod the Endeavour had.
In the episode it felt like the Cardassians were steamrolled in moments, and they weren't even able to do visible damage to the Phoenix even after disabling its shields with a code.
They probably were. The type of warship is never said on-screen, but one has to assume it is a Galor Type II which is a destroyer and not a match for a Nebula in any sense. A Galor Type III wouldn't have been destroyed so easily.
Also wanted to mention since you called it a science ship: it actually is a tactical ship that could be equipped with different mission pods, the tactical pods were available before the dominion war, but during it, they were used nearly exclusively, it was essentially as powerful as a galaxy with its phasers in all ways, but with the tactical pod, had SOOO many more torpedo launchers, and a horrifyingly immense amount of them it could fire.
As a kid, it seemed like the Galors were basically on par with the Excelsior class. There’s the fact Phoenix takes out one like two shots. But Picard talks about having to run from them in the Stargazer.
@@michaelcook7107 dude, totally forgot all that. Need to get some 90 trek nostalgia on. The only thing I’ll add, is that TNG and DS9 basically made the tactical side of trek inconsistent. TNG especially, remember the “rapid fire” weapons mode in “the survivors”. DS9 kinda standardized, but it felt like it was due to budget constraints by the end with those battles, making it all before retconned.
You fight like a Federation P'TOK warping away from the fight, Retro! The Empire didn't have issues handling the Cardies during the Klingon-Cardassian "War". Wo' batlhavD!!! 😃
You mean Gowron's Spanish Ulcer? The Klingons lost that war and they only did well in the beginning because of a sneak attack before the Cardassians could get their main fleet in action. Once the lines stabilized they got stuck for 18 months getting attrited like it was Vietnam. Dukat later ejects the entire Klingon force in two days with the Cardassians themselves doing most of the heavy lifting after a pre-planned offensive plan was put into action. Those 80 new Dominion ships were just the spearhead. Not the flex you think it is.
@@robertcapet9132the Cardassians were getting their asses handed to them left, right and center. The Obsidian Order is the only half competent military organization and we all know what the dominion did to them. Then they turn around and make friends with them..? Certainly can't trust a spoonhead, that's for sure. They couldn't even deal with the marquis let alone the klingons... its obvious cardassia doesn't know what it's doing unless it has an actual 'grown up' empire to take it by the hand.. 😂
If the Cardassian ship has surrendered, you should’ve been beamed over your first officer and a security team, confined the Cardassian crew in the brig and given your Number 1 command of that vessel then you should’ve used the Cardassian 🎉vessel to attack the space station. That is what Captain Benjamin Maxwell would’ve done.
Interesting battle. I think I would have stayed at optimal range for full spreads of torpedoes when attacking the station. I think that distance would also be beyond the torpedo range of the station.
Ooooo, good fight! Depends on the galor classes though, since there were very many of them and many of them were different, same base design, different systems, weapons, warp drives, etc. some could decently threaten a galaxy class, some would lose to the 1701
The Galor likely destroyed by the Phoenix was a Galor II, or a destroyer. But, even the newer Galor IIIs individually is not a match for a Nebula Class Heavy Cruiser. Two Galor IIIs could take them though.
Dominion-upgraded Galors could get the job done. Still, it took "a wing" of Cardassian destroyers to ambush and destroy a Nebula making a transport run. It wasn't stated how the surprise occurred, but the Nebula sensor advantages were likely compromised.
Riiiight. Kirk would have beaten him. Besides sisko is not exactly intelligent either. He was outsmarted by one man several times. He used brute force and broken many rules and done something that even Kirk would have found disgusted by. Sisko attacked a civilian colony with a biological weapon. He also helped murder a romulan diplomat who was a civilian. The man should be rotting in prison not praised.
Be careful, Picard might give them your prefix codes 😄. Not like that mattered. Maxwell took them out anyway. I almost remembered the name of the actor who played Maxwell... it'll come to me. 😀 Gul Ducot won't like this. 😆 I didn't remember... I looked it up. Bob Gunton. His most famous role was the warden in the Shawshank Redemption (1994). (Smacks myself on the head).😄
Galor 2s are no pushovers, Galor 3s are pretty good (Dominion War variants were menaces). But *any* variant of the Nebula is superior to any individual Galor. Nebulas are heavy cruisers covered in Type X arrays with a powerful warp core. Even lacking the tactical pod they were the equal of a Vorcha Class. Later model Keldons could roughly match them though.
Hey Admiral.. I like the name of the ship and the ship.. Yes that episode gosh that was bizarre and Captain Maxwell was right, like at end Picard told Gul Dukat.. so.. just saying.. and yes THE BEST are the lower decks crew, they can do anything lol..

Can you do a version where the pheonix doesn’t have any shields and faces off against 1 Galor, as Picard gives the prefix codes to the Cardassian warship during the episode so they can dismantle its shields, be interested to see how it fares

Never give up never surrender!!!!!!!! Star trek fleet command will get the galaxy quest officer's in the game from what I heard! I wonder if they will release the nsea protector in the game lol
Nice to see you be in the bridge of a Nebula class. I'd say that result was accurate. Yes the outpost that Maxwell attacked was supposedly unarmed. Is it possible what Maxwell said that the Cardassians were arming its citizens in the DMZ true? Most likely. With the Cardassians you never know. Especially when the Obsidian Order was around and they were pretty much Starfleet's version of Section 31.
It was true. It is alluded to later in Season 7 when Picard talks to Gul Evek. He says the Maquis came at him with photon torpedoes, and Picard notes Cardassian militia had been armed by someone with "Galor type phasers." Later we know it is the Central Command arming its militias.
When Warden Samuel Norton was fired from his job as the head of Shawshank Prison, he went into hiding and fell on hard times. Some years later, Mr. Norton volunteered for a secret military experiment where he was supposed to be put into cryo sleep for one year. But, the military base where the experiment was being conducted was shut down due to budget cuts and Mr. Norton was forgotten about until the year 2355 when Federation scientists unearthed his cryogenic tube and woke up Mr. Norton. While going through reintegration in the 24th century, Mr. Norton changed his name to Ben Maxwell and he joined Starfleet, eventually becoming captain of the Phoenix. After the Cardasian incident, Captain Maxwell was courtmartialed from Starfleet and sent to the Federation prison planet designated, Shawshank 370.
People under estimate the Nebula class but you have to remember Star Fleet had enough trust and faith in it's combat abilities to sent it against the Prometheus-class prototype. Thats says a lot.
It had to be a Dominion war refit. Because my understanding is the Prometheus was able to go to warp 9.9 and cruise at that speed. So for nebula to hit that it's pretty impressive.
The Nebula is an excellent ship. It is a heavy cruiser whose only superior is the Galaxy and Sovereign at the time. No Galor, even the Type IIIs which were new in the mid-2360s, is a match for any Nebula variant one-on-one.
I’m gonna be the one to point out, Maxwell was NOT right. They had a fresh treaty, plain and simple. It was shown at the end that he attacked them because of what happened to his family, nothing more. It’s what he admits to O’Brien. In the real world, if A fresh ally transmits legal weapons on a cargo ship in its own legal space, you don’t have the right to attack them, nor a station, because you “feel it in your bones” that it’s a military depot station.

You were foolish to let your forward shield get continously hit, instead of maneuvering to rotate your shield arcs to allow for your forward shields to regenerate. You also should have focused your fire on one ship at a time.
Phoenix didn’t have those aft dorsal phasers, the only Nebula with those was the Sutherland. And where is that aft photon torpedo launcher, modeller looks to have dumped in into the sensor module.
@RickBerman-iv2il Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware about the phasers. Yes, the Torpedo launcher, at least on this bridge commander model appears to be in the Sensor Module. There is a very small faint line on the model. I don't know if you are the same Rick Berman involved with the shows/movies, but if you are I wanted to say thank you so much for all of your work.

Cool
What about a Nebula Class (USS Honshu) vs 3 Jem'Hadar Fighters? the same setup as that DS9 Episode Waltz
How about the Defiant vs 3 Keldons, ala “Defiant”
The Keldon Advanced.
If that’s what Tom Riker took on, go for it!
Is the Atlantis City Ship playable because I'd love to see it versus DS9 or multiple Borg cubes?
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that last line should only work with the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E Sovereign class starship flagship of the United Federation of Planets!
@RBG Any Chance you could the Enterprise D verse the JJ trek Enterprise from the first JJ Trek film?
Sounds good! I've added that to the list 🖖
Capt. Maxwell was right though.
its to bad we never got bridge commander 2, supposedly tottaly games had started some basic pre production on it when the star trek license got pulled from activision.
Something was off about this Nebula, as shouldn't it be able to fire 5-8 photons at once?
Not the usual variant. This is the phoenix bersion slightly less armed
Maxwell turned out to be 100% correct.
Indeed, but Starfleet wanted to avoid antagonizing Cardassians at any cost, so they tossed him to the wolves.
Can we have the enterprise NX coni A B C D And E go against the scimitar? Please
Added to the list 🖖
Maxwell was right!

Hmmm... The Minstrel Boys. Barbershop Quarktet. Entertaining you since the beginning of the occupation of Bajor.
And it turns out Benjamin was right.
I don't trust the Cardy's
That was a bit of a slog, the version with the weapons pod would have been better 🖖
The version of this ship you are using is way under powered. They make way better versions
Ugh, the Nebula Class is just terrible looking. 🤢
Are you being obtuse
