    Worf's 'Prepare for Ramming Speed!' was not just Klingon bullshit.

It may well have taken out the cube.

    There have been better and more shocking examples since, but at the time the Jem'Hadar ramming the _Odyssey_ was one of the most stunning moments in television SF to date. _TNG_ had just finished its run, and the _Odyssey_ scenes were the most time we'd spent with a _Galaxy_ Class ship and, perhaps more importantly, her bridge crew other than the _Enterprise._ By the end of the episode the _Odyssey_ was very much a proxy for the _Enterprise,_ so to see her destroyed so effortlessly by a single attack ship was a gut punch like nothing we'd seen in _Trek._ I was already a huge fan of _DS9_ but that episode and that moment was a taste of just how different and daring the show would be over the next five years.

      Trek weapons tend to be so powerful that once you get through the shields, you're pretty much toast no matter what. Only super rare materials like neutronium can withstand phasers and torpedoes for long, and it's so heavy that they can only be used to make bunkers and bases. Plus they can never find enough to make ships with.

      Which is why in the prime timeline, as the ship designs progressed, certain things became more compact and less exposed, like the tall neck section and the warp pylons. Even then, this kind of situation isn't a common occurrence.

      That was the worst one for me. The engines and mass of the Rebel ship versus the engines the ISD was ridiculous. There would be no way that that frigate could pushed a ship several magnitudes of tonnage larger than itself without it pancaking everything from the fore to the engine decks. It'd be like trying to ram one of those super massive oil tankers with a small boat and expecting the tanker to move.

      I think that part of the issue is that it looks like the Jem'Hadar ship hit the Odyssey just above the deflector, but the damage made it look like it hit right below the deflector.
      Edit: I watched on slow mo, and the Jem'Hadar ship hit the Odyssey's torpedo launcher, but the damage was added as if it hit below the Odyssey's deflector.
