ifilmco Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Of course the Galaxy class wasn't built for combat - more than a few occasions it was out gunned by lesser class of ships. Not worthy of the title of Flagship in my opinion - the Sovereign class was much better of course. Really packed a punch there Perhaps then in such a situation they'd turn to a Priory-of-Sion-esque strategy that would mitigate said concerns. At least I'd hope so.

ifilmco Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I will agree with you on that ifilmco, D was the better of the enterprises. When it showed up you knew things would be alright. It describes the Feseration for what they really are. They are born explorers and you dont want to mess with them beacuse Galaxy classes had the Bite to back up the Bark. Galaxy class design Thanks for backing me up. Nice to know I'm not entirely crazy. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Really though, the Galaxy class represents the pre-Borg/Dominion Federation feeling though. Whereas the Sovereign shows them coming to grips with the fact there are a lot of people that don't like them. That's what I think anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 It's unfortuanate we never actually saw the Soverign in a battle with thr Dominion - how would that starship fair against a fleet of Jem'Hadar warships..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see such an battle, the sovereign would kick their butts (I hope). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostShadow Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 You can read the Dominion war books, in there you can READ about the E fighting Other Jem 'hedar warships, lol. BU tyou cant SEE them. sry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 to be honest - the Romulan Warbirds lack manuverability to offer any real deffence against the Jem' Hedar - the Modern Design for the Romulan Warbird seen in Nemesis looks much better i think and much more capable at fighting that sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostShadow Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Mabe, but They have weapons systems all around their ship so it can hit a target from most postitions, I thought that the ones in Nemisis was a littel weird. I like the warbird beacuse it looks like an actual ship. it is all rounded and no points. The Valador is all jagged and stuff. But what the Heck, a warbird is a warbird eh?

ifilmco Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The Sovereign is actually not maneuverable at all, I don't know whether it is more maneuverable than a Galaxy class, but in comparison to other comparable Starships, the Sovereign is not very maneuverable... Further it mentioned often throughout TNG that the crews of the Galaxy class starships are 'spoiled' and that Starfleet itself somewhat feels that the Galaxy is a bit of a cruiseship... The Sovereign is very definately more powerfull than the Galaxy, but the Galaxy is a lot more beautiful than the Sovereign in my opinion... Reasonable, then, that Clever at the helm of Galaxy is no less formidable than Average at the helm of Sovereign, eh? Galaxy's true disadvantage was in facing multiple ships by itself, other than that it seems to handle itself quite elegantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The Galaxy class ship could carry a vast array of phasers and maybe does but we don't see them use them - many battles we see involve the Galaxy fiering one phaser - i'd like to see a massive battle where it's almost like DS9 - a massive array of phasers being used against smaller attackers - would really make a spectacular battle for the Galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifilmco Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 True, I don't think I'd ever considered it quite that way. Does make perfect sense though. And if my memory serves me, the Galaxy often found itself either evenly matched or undermatched by the hostile vessels it faced. Perhaps the one one-on-one exception I can conjure up is the Borg cube - but then, not much is effective against the Borg anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 They never really went up against anyone in the Enterprise-D though, they'd have stand-offs and maybe a little bit of a firefight but we never really see the mettle of the Enterprise-D, I think. Unlike the Defiant, which has been in more fights than I've had hot dinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The Defiant was a Warship and would have been sent into battle unlike the Galaxy which would avoid battle as much as possible - families onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netshark Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi, I´m new here. Don´t know exactly, what the names stand for, but i voted for the first romulan ship in hope it is the warbird, because this is the best ship in my eyes ;) Powerful, invisible, green, deadly and perhaps more impressing than a borg cube ;> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think If I would be on an Galaxy class starship, I would be more scared if I saw a Cube attacking me than if I would see a Warbird attacking me... And If I would see a Fusion Cube then I would run like hell to the nearest shuttle and disappaer in the nearest nebula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
