Oh it's so simple to think that because ships died quickly in the movies, that they must be weak ass. Sorry to burst your bubble, but no, they can easily hold their own against most ships in the galaxy. Only a moron would think that because they were easy pickings for the Scimitar, means that they are poor gunned, armored, and shielded. The real reason is the writers. Awww poor baron cry.gif

Canon comes from tech manuals and the tech crews that work on making the shows, movies and also the designers who first make the ships on star trek, not from shows and movies.

Of course you know baron none of that is true, it's mere speculation, it's obviously off of the DITL which as we all know isn't quite right most of the time. Raw pwnage at it's finest laugh.gif tongue.gif

Ahhhh so they just make up ships and put them into manuals without ever being on any show, so thats how it works
If that is true than I am terribly sorry, than norexan is the strongest ship in all the galaxy, would that work for you?

Its really pointless to argue with you PD since anyone who is against u, u start insulting him and of course because most of the people here love romulans they back u up. And plizz tell me in which manual it says the norexan is soooooo damn strong

And just one more thing, if romulans are so strong and the best, why dont they have a bigger empire, why arent they considered as strong as the federation or the klingons.
Let me anwser that for u, its all because of the writters, they dont like the romulans

Oh and about that tac cube thing, acording to ditl every bug ship carries 40 trops, 40x100 is 4000, plus warp core breach plus........
And that would only scratch the paint of the tac cube huh
If that is true I really dont know what can destroy it
Dont forget that just a couple of fed ships destroyed one cube with the help of picards Enterprise-E

Im gonna stop posting in here now, hope u all see my point, if u dont to bad for you

A ship with 27 cubic kilometers would have millions of crew, but that's besides the point. The reason the Borg are so scary is because they are unbeatable. And that cube that "a few ships plus the EE blew up" had already been shot at for two or three days by the Typhon fleet, resulting in the loss of over 40 starfleet ships. I don't know how many more it blew up in Earth orbit. The outer hull (this is a paraphrase) was "heavily compromised" by the time the EE showed up. And that was a regular cube, no torps, no heavy external armor. I think if a tac cube showed up (let alone two) the Alpha quadrant combined couldn't do a thing about it.

Also some estimates state that a cube must be damaged more than 90% to halt its repair and regeneration process, so if you fight piecemeal like starfleet did you'll never kill it.

come on people, the miranda class is the best ship, next to the vorcha

posted on February 1st, 2005, 7:50 pm

miranda? that ship is ugly like the saber and steamrunner. *lol*
and vorcha.. hmm.. i prefer the old BoP instead of that.

I love me some Miranda class

Now Baron, your hands are not exactly clean of guilt either when it comes to insulting other users, although it is a favorite tactic of mine.

You cannot simply put a ship on a show or movie without making stats for it, so in theory, a manual could come out with a ship in it that you've never seen.

The Norexan cannot destroy a Scimitar or a Sovern, thats an easy thing for me to say. But you saying it is a weak ass ship is simply, wrong. It's not a weak ass ship, it has more guns then a D'deridex, it's simply just too weak to take on a Sovern with more advanced weapons or a Scimitar with a Norexans weapons squared.

Klingons and Romulans are fairly equal empire wise, Klingons have more ships but Romulan ships are of better quality, which makes them a draw in who has the better fleet.

And yes, the reason the Romulans are always getting blown up is writers, thanks for agreeing.

Is it just me or are the Romulans too centralized? The Klingons have an adversarial tribal structure that necessitates each house having a large military component to act as a coast guard, or local constabulary. In national emergencies like the dom war these fleets can be called up, hence the huge destroyer to capital ship ratio we see compared to other races. The Romulans on the other hand have a small military made up of exclusively capital ships, geared seemingly to suppressing internal revolts and intimidating outsiders. And while their ships are high quality, I wouldn't give odds in a Nebula vs. D'deridex, and I know a Galaxy can easily defeat one. (Various TNG where E-D takes minimal damage, also VOY Prometheous)

I voted other, I like the Akira class beacuse of it's amazing manevears and awesome firepower. ^_^

Well coolhand a D'deridex and Galacy are roughly equal, again it's the writers...How can Picard loose?

Ill have to agree with all of you .The romulan ship,klingon and borg ships are cool makes me wonder how the hell the federation stays around with all that fire power
i think the intrepid(voyager) that janeway brought back from delta was cool tho
would like to see a bird of prey upgrade or a fed version of it sorta like intrepid with wings lol

Very true about the writers and Picard, although the warbirds were eaten for lunch by voyager's writers in Prometheous, and eaten for lunch by the DS9 writers in the whole Dom war thing (only a handful of galaxies were lost, a huge proportion of warbirds were lost, but we've talked about that before). I'm not sure by what metric you claim they're equal ... if you're assaulting a planet the D'deridex is better, but they're barely in the same class in space combat.

Firepower and manuverability is how their fairly equal. Galaxy has more rear and side firing weapons while the D'deridex has cloak and slightly more armor.

heh Preator, it is always good to come home and hear "well my romulan ship could totally waste your stupid ship"

but that is beside the point what are we talking about oh yeah derdrix vs. all...dom vs. tac cube...st writers will be in the 9th pit of hell...ahhh well this is interesting ok on topic one

Derdrix.
Captial ship run by underarmed, small empire in comparison with rival empires, conclusion, romulans the "new species" on the block, always will, never be as strong simply because they are small, and tend to only build science ships, capital ships and shuttles, lacking diversity

Dom vs tac cube.
Well... we know that tac cube aren't invulnarable, than again we shouldn't be sure they exsist just look at the source but when it comes to addaption, the dominon are to stupid to start a battle with ramming tactics, against new species, that is a finishing move, and due to the fact the ship is small and weakly shielded (as compared with borg weponry) the entire fleet would be borg drones within the hour, bye bye dom

St writers those horrible people
Look they are like the dm's you may hate them but they make the rules, and if they say that Picard pw3nd all, than that is the law...

Wootege

Every ship in star trek is a capital ship phaser...The Romulans have smaller amounts of powerful, durable ships. Thats it right there, undesputible...

It's always good to come in here and see someone whining about how this other race is so much better then the Romulans when their not, lol
