How to recreate the wrath of khan

How do I recreate the wrath of khan battle in STO.
BOFFs/powers , Ships, Loadouts etc. Ranks.

I'm going to get somebody to make a build like this and I'm going to demo rec for testing purposes.
It was going to be a PVP fight maybe become a crafted mission.

I'm trying to make this like the star fleet academy simulation not exactly like the movie
but I'm down to see what people would make with both versions.
So I could see an academy build and the historical recreation build.

    Hmm, I wonder if the Foundry TOS allows players to recreate the Battle of the Mutara Nebula? :confused:


    Anyhow I would have it as a very large map, where players start off orbiting around a planet (a deserted one like the Iconian world to mimic the Regula planetoid), have a station at the starting point (too bad the Regula Station model isn't in game yet), have the Miranda start at the opposite end of the planetoid.

    Have waypoints to have people having to go around the planet to mimic the Tactial Chase, then at the 3 Quarter mark, have it go straight to a huge Nebula Field (from the new missions) and have the battle there.

    And the path along it, have that dampening field thats at the Donatu Daily to prevent full impulse, which mimics the Enterprise's run to the Mutara Nebula to evade Khan.


    The only thing that would be hard would be having the Nebula have a massive exploision that has a huge AoE, to have the player run away from long enough to get out of the dampening field to hit full Impulse (to mimic the last minute miracle of the Enterprise getting warp power back.

    I was thinking for test purposes making "kirk" an engineer so as to fire off miracle worker.
    What is khan tactical?
    I have to rewatch the movie in order to see what the BOFs are.

    Going to say along these lines:

    Constitution (T1 version, not the TOS one) Phaser beam and photon torpedo forward, phaser beam aft... Did the 1701 refit have a photon torpedo launcher in the back?
    Skills: fire at will, engineering team, emergency power to engines (the final getaway as Khan activates Genesis - minus one irradiated Vulcan), not sure about science, maybe jam sensors

    Miranda: Phaser beams fore and aft, photon torpedo forward
    Skills: High yield, engineering team, science?

    Standard phasers on both - they had orange beams in the movies instead of blue like in TOS.

    What do you feel about dual beam banks? Not trying to nit pick but my cohorts are saying
    "I see two forward firing beams"

    They do have the Mutara nebula as a map on the Foundry which is pretty large.

    However it features the now exploded remains of the genesis planet on one end.

    Hop on to tribble and search for the "Wrath Of Q". Thats my Foundry mission. You get to take part in the battle between the Enterprise and the Reliant in the Mutara nebula, and also get to watch Captain Spock die right at the end(within limits of the STO engine).

    It did, under the tail. But I don't recall it ever being used in the movies.

    Dual phaser beam bank and photon torpedo fore, photon torpedo aft would be the more accurate loadout for a Kirk movie-era Miranda.

    That's actually really cool sounding.
