I didn't see a whole lot of them destroyed during the Dominion wars.Īmbassador class. Even though the USS Lakota is unique, other excelsior class ships are probably powerful in their own right as well.
I know it's older than the Ambassador class, but they have been continually refitted over the last century in star trek and are pretty powerful.
The Intrepid was designed as an easier to build, faster, and more advanced version of the Galaxy class, and largely has the same combat capabilities thanks to it's special design of warp core, which is lined with a dilithium lattice instead of a central chamber (the swirling effect), making it a 6 deck high reaction chamber.Įxcelsior class.
The ships are formiddable in battle, and have a decent damage to surviviability ratio. The Galaxy classes and Nebula classes are pretty much the same, and BOTH were designed to to everything, including combat to defend the Federation. Also, in the alternate timeline, the USS Defiant went up against a Klingon ship that dwarfed it and took it down. Remember in First Contact, the USS Defiant was kicking some major ass. Depending on the situation they can take a pounding or not. It's powerful and it's pulse phasers run right by the plasma couplings in the warp nacelles. The first on the list of most combat readiness is:ĭefiant class.
