The space station when it was armed to the teeth. I will remind you that at the beginning of the show they were woefully undersupplied and had a single digit number of torpedoes (I believe six), all of which Sisko fired at the Cardassians in a bluff to make them go away. Once we get to the war against the Jem'hadar and they allow O'Brien to festoon all the surfaces of the station with guns, then we're really talking.
all of which Sisko fired at the Cardassians in a bluff to make them go away.
Kira fired the torpedos. I wanna say that was when Sisko and Dax were in the wormhole.
But they were also wholly prepared for war when the Klingon Fleet showed up, probably long before that too after Starfleet really got situated.
But with all the weapons the station had DS9 could probably have half a dozen phaser banks fire on a single ship at once with just as many photon launchers firing full spreads of torpedos.
DS9 no contest. It could handle the combined efforts of the D and Voyager without breaking a sweat. The NX would only be useful in the fight on a kamikaze run, and even at her peak the A would get taken out by 1 modern photon torpedo.
I agree that DS9 probably wins by far on its ability to hold off fleets during the Klingon and Dominion Wars.
However, I’m not sure I would dismiss Voyager so fast as a contender against the Enterprise D - I think Voyager is both well-armed and comparatively agile, with a higher maximum warp speed and likely a higher cruising speed. I think the ship’s unique strengths would at least give the D a significant struggle.
Cardassian Nor-class stations are strong, but not mobile. They wouldn't be able to repair against a series of guerilla attacks in rapid succession from an enemy who's got firepower to burn and warp energy to spare.
Nothing there except maybe the Intrepid can lay down a measure of the firepower a Galaxy-class has. Adding in secondary vessels, full torpedo loadouts, and even the possible crazy tactics like venting antimatter, it's barely a question.
They'll just bomb the crap out of both ships. Carpet bomb the area - and don't forget that quantum torpedos partially phase into subspace, so that's gonna be great when you try and pull the warp trick - and it doesn't matter how many illusory ships you pull up. You're still farked. Then there's the fact that each one of those "claws" has multiple phasers on it - way more than the galaxy class' 12 arrays.
Way of the warrior they take out eight klingon battle cruisers in about a minute and half and they're trying to AVOID a war. Picard maneuver my arse.
I say it's between DS9 and Enterprise-D(?). Picard's one. Simply because DS9 is prepared for combat, and Picard's Enterprise because it's newer and larger than the other ships

I’d go with the space station which is armed to the teeth.
Edit: wildcards are Janeway doing a time travel and Geordi+Data doing a technobabble.

they filled it with 5000 photon torpedos and many heavy phaser batteries. plus the enhanced anti-polaran shielding.

Not to mention Sisko is the ultimate badass. We could win this with a shuttle craft.

Thanks, I was going to look for that clip if you hadn't already posted it.

My vote still goes with the Defiant
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 252d
voyager later had borg limited upgrades during scorpion episode, and then at the end armor tech and transphasic torpedos.

Which ever one has O'Brien, thats the one that wins.

The ship may only be hold together by duct tape and wishes but god damn will Miles ensure that it still works.

Welcome to the 25th century. It is standard Starfleet Academy test material.
Taleya@aussie.zone · 13 pts · 252d
Voyager, clearly. It's the only one with leggies
(Non facetiously it's DS9. Especially if we're taking dominion war upgrades)

Janeway will feed all the kids quantum torpedoes, and if she runs out she’ll launch an endless supply of shuttles to bomb the remaining wreckage.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 252d
she did that to the krenim when the torpedos wernt working, she just used them as mines.

Also its captain is sometimes batshit insane and takes precisely zero shit.
Seriously. I'd put my money on Janeway in any captain fight.

Pure deathmatch? The Galaxy-class.
Cardassian Nor-class stations are strong, but not mobile. They wouldn't be able to repair against a series of guerilla attacks in rapid succession from an enemy who's got firepower to burn and warp energy to spare.

It doesn't matter how nimble you are when your enemy just launches five thousand quantum torpedoes at you.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 252d
photons, i wonder why they never equipped ds9 with quantum, they also had alot of phaser batteries, plus a shield that withstands dominion weapons.
Taleya@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 248d
I stand corrected. Wonder if quantums couldn't be integrated with cardassian tech. Or possibly their use is disallowed within x distance to a planet.

Unless you pull a Picard Maneuver or something and trick the opponent.

Five. Thousand. Torpedos.
They'll just bomb the crap out of both ships. Carpet bomb the area - and don't forget that quantum torpedos partially phase into subspace, so that's gonna be great when you try and pull the warp trick - and it doesn't matter how many illusory ships you pull up.

The Big D (that's a canon nickname BTW; they use it in Lower Decks) is older than Voyager. Still larger and likely has more firepower, though.

Yes, D.

Will Voyager even be able to show up this time or will they accidentally land in the Delta quadrant again?
