It's a shame, but four-on-one is horrible odds. I hope she at least gave the warbirds a hard fight of it.
 
So, I'm going to say the phasor array got one warbird before they got use to the new power of the arrays, our new rapid fire launchers will get another. The added impulse and less ships to deal with will let Enterprise either mission kill or full out destroy another. The last probably got badly damaged but destroyed the Enterprise, but couldn't leave before the Klingons came to finish it off. The Outpost might have survived

Say was the battle result rolled for or just what you think happened?

The Ambassador is purpose built for burst firepower, almost as if to counter Cloaking shenanigans. Any time a Romulan or Klingon ship decloaks they are liable to get Alpha'd hard.

and my gut says the Klingons unironicly love it. Honeslty I wouldn't be surprised if the Klingons copied the Burst Damage Doctrine both to honor the enterprise and because it's well adapabted for both sides of cloaked warfare.

That would make their ships a real nightmare to fight, and knowing Klingons, they would take it to the extreme as they dont need to add diplomatic suites and extra rec areas

They would likley double up on the burst style torpedo launchers on the bow, maybe a pair of heavy disruptor cannons backed by standard models to simulate the Alpha strike capacity of the type 9s?

Eh, both Klingon and Romulan ships already seem to go for frontal-arc burst-damage firepower, to go with their cloaking devices.

If the Klingons really cared to be inspired by the Enterprise, they'd consider having better all-around weapons coverage so they can't be easily jumped by a decloaking enemy. The Enterprise-C had no blind spots that would be safe for a Warbird to decloak and attack from.

Birds of prey always felt like dog frighters to me rather then alpha strikers.
 
Hail the Dual-Chancellory of Gowron Gorkon and K'mpec!!! :V:V

edit: Ah shit even I just did it too

Looks like the Ambassador managed to snag itself a second production run going by the completed ships list.

We've still got nothing anywhere near as numerous as the Excelsior, but that's kind of expected given just how amazing it's scores were for the time. It's going to take a really good ship to match them.
 
I know we aren't their yet but for our next ship we should put very little or no prototype stuff on it so the utopia planitia staff and people of mars don't kill us, so let's go for a easy to mass produce ship using all the prototype stuff that we have put on our previous ships to lower cost.

That was effectively the Reliant. A single piece of prototype tech that worked out very unproblematically on a cheap frigate frame with easy maintenance and lots of utility.

Now, we can always use more mass produced ships, but I'm just saying that we're not completely lacking in those, and based on its one production run Starfleet doesn't seem overly interested in the idea.
 
To be fair, the Ambassador is heavy cruiser and even WW2, the US only made like 6 of each type of heavy cruiser(they only had 3 types). These were not really ships you were going to make too many of just because of their size.
 
the Oberth is a death trap, of the 8 or 9 i think that we get to see on screen only 2 of them survive their episodes/movies it needs replacing
