Sacrifice of Angels at 3 in the morning

This is what happens when you stay up past midnight and wonder what DS9 would sound like with Fleet Ops sound effects:

Kinda sounds like an improvement.

Agreed, it sounds awesome

That was quite good

It still makes me laugh when that one BoP destroys that other one...

But yeah, I think it actually sounds better with FleetOps effects heh

Since I don't remember the original I can't really compare, but this version sounds pretty good.

I want to know why it looks like none of the ships have shields.

During the war, everyone in the Federation, Dominion, and the Klingon and Romulan Empires forgot how to raise shields - it was a quadrant-wide amnesia that seemed to clear up after the war

Maybe they figured that they would save the energy for the shields and dump it into the weapons and structural integrity and then pray they didn't get hit.

yeah the shield thing was funny. only ships with plot armour had shields.

i think we can assume ships were using shields, but the visual effects were rubbish and didnt show them.

If they were though, so many of those ships that got one shotted should have been fine. Like the Miranda which had a beam blast right through its saucer, even though it looked like that ship hadn't been hit yet.

Oh well, it's not the first time a TV show broke its own rules.

the majestic and the sitak (sp?) were the flaking miranda's. i was thinking that maybe they had been hit and lost shields. or the dominion had upgraded the main lazor of the galor to a point where it can do huge damage and punch straight through a saucer of a rather old ship.

Those Miranda's didn't get one-shotted, they were hit at least twice each; once on a nacelle, once on the saucer.

Maybe it all went into the Hull because shields are dangerous when close together? Having their shields rub together would probably hurt them more than enemy weapons.

That, or the tactical or engineering officers didn't like the rest of the crew that much.

I always did find it odd that the shield effects were missing in DS9... though when the Dominion are attacking the station there are many explosions that look like the hull is collapsing only to see a Hideki crash into the station with a faint shield effect. Maybe they were using shields? Maybe Dominion weapons were configured to go through them at the time? Maybe they spent too much money on explosion effects and discovered the budget ran dry when they went in to add shields?

a hideki did hit the shields

all the "explosions" around the station were probably explosions on the shields, with limited damage to the hull.

at this time starfleet had adapted shields to defend against phased polaron beams. weyoun commented on this saying he was surprised they werent going straight through ds9 shields.

Hmm. I always thought the Dominion (and Cardassians) just had a different shield technology. They don't form bubbles around their ships, but got shields which lie directly on the hull. You know, sometimes there is no damage when they hit their ships, and sometimes there is, so the shields are down then.

Well, for Federation and allies... they jost got hit by Polarons which hit through shields .

Blame the effects. If you look at the fighting scenes, they are incredible for a TV series on first sight, but if you look closer, you realize there are no shields and no fighting in the background at all. Additionally some of the scenes got reused sometimes(for example those mirandas, so you can't really say which sips are there  ).

Nice work by the way. Especially the Breen torpedoes are well included.. I wonder how it sounds if you take the strange pulse phaser sound from FO.
