Bop Versus A Warbird?

The so-called D'Tai is definitely really a K'Vort made bigger for dramaturgic reasons. Definitely a really bad move by the TNG folks, they should have used vorchas instead. Oh well.

Well what they call it is another scale up of the BoP. Guess them Klingons don't know when to leave a hull design alone.

when will they learn to leave the bird-of-prey alone. it is fine the way it is

the klingons love to do more with less

the b'rel is armed to the teeth:
two wing-mounted disrupter cannons
two twin wing-mounted phaser cannons
1 photon/poleron torpedo launcher

about half a task force of these things can kic the sh*t out of most heavy fed ships

I think that Warbird should be stronger then BoP. It's a pity that we never saw D'deridex in Tv shows effective in combat. Actualy we often saw that they are very easily destroyed (seen in DS9 and Voyager series that included USS Prometheus).

I remember one scene from TNG where a three-shot disruptor burst from a D'deridex was enough to disable Enterprise. The rommies probably fried their disruptor cannons inthe process, but that still is some impressive firepower.

On the other hand, they're said to be less than enough shielded for their size, so they're awesome ships for surprise attacks, but won't survive in long-lasting slugging matches.

but keep in mind that the warbird uses an artificial quantum singularity as a power source, a lot better than a matter/antimatter reaction chamber.a power source of that magnitude is needed to supply power to a ship
that is over twice the size of a galaxy class, so the disruptors got way more power than the enterprise d's sheilds could take. so they broke through in three shots

Do you have proof how much better it is then a standard anti-matter/matter power system? Also keep in mind our present power stations usually don't work over 35% efficiency.

exactally, if at 50% efficiency, warbirds can kick the sh*t out of the entire fed fleet.

Uh then how did the Enterprise last so long against the Scimitar when the 2 Norexan classes were dropped fairly easily?
