/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

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.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 18 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Especially if the Defiant is at dock

[–] Crookclaw@lemmy.world 16 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

The Defiant wouldn't matter. Seriously, it's not even close... https://youtu.be/apP-4wNr2zg

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

True, good point

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago

voyager later had borg limited upgrades during scorpion episode, and then at the end armor tech and transphasic torpedos.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 37 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 22 hours ago

Clearly the only answer

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

he dint win when he became the leader of genii in a different universe.

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

You are clearly a wise and intelligent person.

Hail to the Chief (O’Brien)!

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 17 points 22 hours ago

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.

[–] lunchbox2287@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago
[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 11 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Voyager, clearly. It's the only one with leggies

(Non facetiously it's DS9. Especially if we're taking dominion war upgrades)

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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 2 points 9 hours ago

she did that to the krenim when the torpedos wernt working, she just used them as mines.

[–] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 9 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

This is some Enterprise E erasure and I will not stand for it

[–] RomulusCornflakes@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I have deleted the Enterprise E. Pray I don’t delete any further.

[–] Hasherm0n@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

It's simply because it would have been unfair and uninteresting otherwise.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

It doesn't matter how nimble you are when your enemy just launches five thousand quantum torpedoes at you.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago

photons, i wonder why they never equipped ds9 with quantum, they also had alot of phaser batteries, plus a shield that withstands dominion weapons.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 17 hours ago

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. 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.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 10 hours ago

they got the borg upgrades eventually,

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 5 points 11 hours ago

Whichever one the writer chooses. -stan lee

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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.

[–] lath@piefed.social 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Top right wins, every time. They don't call Space the Final Frontier for nothing...

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Fookin right...that ship is made of adamantium and polyester. You can't stop that.
