Based on what Cmdr. Rotherot said in the briefing cutscene, I speculate that they wanted to use the TOS Constitution for that mission but didn't have the time to build or implement one. One of many signs that this game was rushed into release.
Yea, i remember this scenario, it's a refference to the original series' "Balance of Terror" episode. The enterprise fought against a romulan bird of prey that had plasma torpedoes.
Man... what are doing with me... When I was a teen I had what now I know was a Incomplete version of this game. There was only 4 mission that I played for years whishing there was more. But that time there was not the internet and information of today. So I was just sad that the game was short. Watching these scenes I become a mix of wanting to find and play everything and sadness that I had the incomplete game...
I've seen engines get damaged to the point of drifting, but only on the player's ship. Unfortunately, I was drifting toward a planet when that happened. Barely made it out.
Those aren't as bad odds as you'd think. In the TNG episode Heart of Glory, three renegade Klingons destroyed a Battle Cruiser, presumably a K't'inga-class cruiser with what was basically a ship not much better than a garbage scow and had very primitive armament.
constitution class had really bad shields :D few hits from klingon disruptors and your shield were gone.. remember playing the bridge commander where shields could take tons of pounding until you started to take any major hull/equipment damage
The ship will explode before that. Unfairly, NPC ships won't explode even if they hit the planet. I've tried by disabling them and throwing them at planets. It just doesn't work.
These Levels Seem Like The Past! On The TV Series Of Star Trek Kirk Fought A Romulan Just Like This Level. I Wounder If A lot Of These Missions Are Actually The Past.
