Two major omissions: the Sovereign class Enterprise E and the Reman warbird Scimitar.
Should have another list of "Hero Ships" that there was only 1 of or we only saw once. Schimitar, Narada, The Shrike, Voth City Ship, Krenim Timeship, Borg Tactical Cube, V'Ger?, General Changs Bird of Prey, any others?
Just 2 omissions? I know of a lot more than that.
The Prometheus from Voyager's "Message in a bottle" :)@@rhob2422
True. Though the D doesn't have any blind spots, the Enterprise E also has saucer separation (not shown) and quantum torpedoes which are MUCH more powerful than photons. And it took the Enterprise E to crash into the Scimitar in order to disable it! Borg Tatical Cube being the strongest of Borg vessels. And I would replace the Jem Hadar fighter with the 8472 bioship that are capable of decimating planets. USS Vengeance is from a parallel timeline and The Doomsday Machine isn't (canonically) a ship, but a robot.
Exactly what I was gonna say.
This felt more like a most powerful ships in DS9
Well, technically, the Borg made 0 appearance in DS9.
@@vic5015 You forget the battle of Wolf 359 in the beginning of the series premiere... It may have been a flashback... But they still appeared in DS9... Not to mention the impact they had on Ben and Jake Sisko...
By Jem'Hadar's suicide attack, DS9 established Galaxy class as equal or perhaps no match for Jem'Hadar fighter. Yet they have is a big difference on the list.
Well DS9 had a war going on through the series unlike the others
You are right, with these it's mostly Voyager, DS9...very rarely do they have TOS
I believe you missed Species 8472 Bioships…?
This list should've been 25 or 30 entries.
Yes that even can take out a borg cube.
Yeah, that ship bodied the Borg without breaking a sweat.
Anorax' Time Weapon Ship
Not a well thought out video.
What about Species 8472 bio ships? Not only did they cut thru Borg cubes like paper, they were able to destroy a planet by combining the energy of only eight ships.
Came here to say this
That's because all assimilated Borg Planets are protected by Auto regenerative multi Adaptive shielding otherwise 1 could.
"Here is a list of ten ships that'll drive the comments section mad."
😂
Right! I’m surprised more people aren’t savvy to how engagement works today.
I know this list is subjective, but GD is it wildly off. Galaxy _over_ Sovereign?! 😮
Exactly. This list is maybe "most powerful ships in the galaxy in 2370".
you'd almost think they plan on making another video like this or something lol
@ Most powerful ships in the Federation's back yard in 2370...
@ they showed First Contact footage...
thank you for saving me 10 minutes of my life so I don't watch it. THANKS FR!!!
Prometheus class anyone?
maybe Sovereign class?
no?
ok...
I always wonder what the worth of the Prometheus was....I Must be rather complicated to maintain. And what is the worth of having three weaker ships instead of one strong. The tactical use of that feature seems to be rather limited.
A lot was missed. Sovern class ships, the bioships of Species 8472c the Scimitar, and who could forget the Prometheus. The experimental starship that split up into 3 pieces and defended itself during an attack?
The Prometheus was a prototype, wasn't it? That's the only reason I can think why it's not included.
@@Steve157Oh But it went into service non-the less otherwise why would it be in the final scene of Voyager which is years after it was first build.
@@drethaldier Oh, was it in the final? In that case, yeah - where's Prometheus in this list?!
Soo many missing off this list.
Klingon Negh'var class dreadnaught
Romulan/Reman Scimtar class Warbird
USS Prometheus
USS Enterprise-F (Odyssey class)
USS Vengeance (Kelvin universe)
ISS Charon
The Shrike
Gomtuu
Species 8472 Bioship
Species 6339 Warship
Voth city ship
Krenim Imperium Weapon Ship
Devore Warship
Husnock Warship
V'Ger
Fesarius of the First Federation
Some of these were one-offs, which I guess you might not count, but a few of them had enough screen time to see their relative power!
Not to mention the Texas Class!
@@rakaydosdraj8405 and the Pakled Clumpship!
Heck, the planet-eating Doomsday Machine from TOS "The Doomsday Machine" didn't make it on the list either and they showed that! Antiproton beams, a tractor beam, and a hull of solid neutronium. Took flying and detonating a Constitution-class starship in it's very maw to stop one.
I would another one USS Reliant, only because Khan hijacked the ship and The Genesis Device. I know it was a one time only but imagine if would won
This list is surely rage bait no? Surely 😅 Where is the Scimitar? Voth city ship? V-Ger!?
Plot armor is best armor lol. How else does the Rotarran makes this list
The voth ship was the first I thought of, the second was that alien probe in star trek 4.
That alien vessel from Star Trek 4. It deactivated any vessel that came near it. Probably could do more if it was provoked.
Hey now, we all know the USS Plot Armor....I mean Voyager....is the most "powerful".
😂😂😂😂 I don't like you 😅😅😅
Leave her alone
Voyager had the ability to produce shuttles and torpedoes on demand.
Thats a science ship.
The Krenim time ship.
No Species 8472 bioship? You know that thing that can tear through a Borg cube like it's nothing.
Not to mention destroy a planet by linking 8 ships
The Akira class will always be my favorite ship no matter what. I've also always loved the Jemmy ships and the Defiant. This is why one of my favorite ships in STO right now, is a ship that is a hybrid of both the Jem'hadar Fighter and the Defiant. Also always loved the Enterprise-D "Dreadnaught" from All Good Things and its Phase Cannon.
oh my god yes the REX pilot escort she is a beauty and a beast all in one
Consistently counts off weapon systems on these ships, but the one with 52 disrupters and 27 torpedo launchers is nowhere to be found
I missed the part about the Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship. Could anybody point me to its timestamp?
You need temporal technology to see that clip.
It had a glass jaw. Without its temporal weapons and shielding it was extremely vulnerable to conventional 24th century weapons.
@PassiveSmoking Are you talking about the ship that took down 5 ships and voyager? With its conventional weapons. Wasn't it still in one price after janeway rammed it? If she hadn't hit the temporal core, the ship would have been fine.
Ok Trek culture, I keep thinking u guys are gonna at least consult with a bro before u make these lists. Yep everyone included bishops but the no First Federation Ship? No tin man? No temporal ships? No dinosaur ships? Smh 😂
I think those are just on another tier list but still yeah they are ships
@@congnghequansuvn474oh I thought it was a list of the most powerful ships ....no other tier. List just a lil jacked up😂😂
Lot of omissions: Species 8472 bioships, the dinosaurs from Earth, the android ships from Voy ep Prototype, The Dooomsday Machines, Sovereign class, Krellan Timeships, the Aquatic Xindi ships, the Scimitar (though that was a one off)
Sadly we have no idea how the Voth (the dino's) fight and how powerful they would be (outside sto), but considering they just beamed over an entire starship, yeh their offensive capabilities may dwarf everything but V-Ger.
The most powerful ship , a Borg Cube.
Species 8472:- Hold my Beer....
Special mention to the Enterprise-D from "All Good Things". Tore through a Klingon ship like it was tissue paper.
Galaxy Dreadnought
William Riker: Tough little ship.
"Little?!"
Prometheus class, Sovereign class, Akira class,Steamrunner class,Species 8472 Bioship, Krenim warship and many more that I can’t be bothered to name.
I’m not to sure about the accuracy of this list….but it was enjoyable 😊
5:00 "Little?!" - the way Worf said that line was, awesome.
Yes! Definitely do a video on the 32nd century ships!
An incomplete list of ships more powerful than those listed, only going up through the TNG era (including movies). This list is in no specific order. Feel free to add to it.
Sovereign class
Prometheus class
Scimitar class
Voth city ship
Species 8472 battleship
Husnock battleship
Borg tactical cube
Nomad
V'Ger
The whale probe
Dreadnought class, USS Vengeance. One beast of a ship.
But how about the Enterprise J, seen in Star Trek Enterprise? That ship was even taller (in length) than a Borg Cube.... 🙂
Nice to see the D but I prefer the weapons systems on the Enterprise-E. Ok. I just prefer the Enterprise-E! 😀🖖
it was not worfs fault
I have seen multiple people mention V-Ger, in and of itself V-Ger was not a starship, it was a satelite that crashed / entered an alien civilization's sphere of influence who then determined what V-Ger's programming was, they themselves built an entire construct around V-Ger and then sent it back on it's way to earth to deliver all that it had learned during it's journey back to it's creator, so in reality V-Ger had no propulsion and or weapons itself, it was the construct that moved V-Ger and protected it. At least that is my interpretation of what happened.
8472 bio ships for sure, Voth city ship, Krenim temporal ship, Xindi sphere weapon ship, Enterprise J, USS Prometheus and Relativity
What about the dreadnought class from STB? or uss promethius
?
Omg you mentioned USS Prometheus...I just had a shipgasam
Missed a few: what about Tin Man? That ship knocked the Enterprise D and a Romulan warbird a pretty long distance away from a star going Supernova with about as much effort as a sneeze.
Haven't even started this and I'll take the "little" Defiant.
I would include the Domesday Machine (Planet Killer).
I think the Species 8472 ship should have been on this list...
especially in that one episode where they "combined" their beams and litterally blew up a borg planet
The Cardassian Galor Class was an outdated ship before the Dominion War started. In the TNG episode "The Wounded", the Enterprise disables a Galor's shields with a handful of phaser hits, but what clinches it is that Picard is frankly more curious why they attacked than worried, and he tells Worf to limit his fire to disable them. Once the Enterprise's shields are raised, Picard knows the threat is largely over.
Scimitar vs Shrike.... I'd love to see that.
Fun fact, the IKS Rotarran, was a K'Vort Class Battlecruiser, the Bird of Prey you saw in Star Trek III, IV, V is the smaller B'Rel Class Scout!
Krenim Imperium Timeship, Sovereign class, Scimitar, Penk's Tsuntakse ship, 8472 Bioship, Doomsday Machine, Borg Tactical Cube, Voth City Ship, Narada. Honestly you could break down the categories to fighters, frigates, capital ships, and planetary systems. Look how long the shield generator held up on Spacedock against an entire Borgified Starfleet, but Cardassia Prime fell much quicker against a similar sized Dominion fleet.
Well done. Yes there is other ships to consider but everyone has an opinion.
Nah fam this list is just dumb lmao. They’re putting ships in that are shown to be outclassed by omitted ones
Great video as always guys but iI would've made some changes:
I would've out the Soverign Class ship on there (They literally say in the film that it's the most advanced ship at the time)
Species 8472 ships can blow up planets and Borg cubes.
The USS Titans took on three heavily armed Pakled ships and wrecked them.
The Texas Class ships took out a Soverign class vessel along with the Cerritos and survived a war core detonation.
Speaking of which the Doomsday Weapon from TOS should be on there as it is technically a ship.
Shinzon's Scimitar took on both the Enterprize-e and A Romulan warbird at the same time and pummelled both ships.
The upgraded Voyager from Endgame should be on there as it was also able to go toe to toe with the Borg.
And lastly the USS Prometheus which was able to split into three ships and become its own mini fleet to fight an enermy.
The Pakleds were never a threat to a top of the line federation ship. But as scavangers, they weren't going AFTER top of the line ships. They were going after TOS era Mirandas and Excelsiors, explodium Oberths, and Californias.
@@rakaydosdraj8405 Still taking on three of them loaded up with weapons from all over the quadrant is a decent showing.
The Galaxy class doesn't get enough credit for how insanely powerful it can be if it's tuned to focus on combat. It wasn't mentioned in DS9, iirc, but the Dominion war Galaxies came out of the dock yard with about 50% of their innards empty since all of the unnecessary components were either taken out on not installed at all. This left the Galaxy to be an excellent battleship-carrier hybrid and a command vessel, packing even more punch than the standard Galaxy class.
the end made me hungry!
3 missing ships from this list: the Reman Scimitar from Nemesis. The Akira class, which took on Romulan D'deridex in ST:Voyager and just smiled while doing it (Message in a Bottle). That showed off the Akira's capability better than First Contact did.
No whale ship thing. The ship that can completely turn off a starship by just flying near it
Scimitar, Vengeance, Oberth, Undine bioships. Quite a few, honestly.
As well as the Sovereign Class Enterprise E and the Species 8472 Bioships I was surprised the Renegade Borg Ship wasn't included. All the enterprise Ds weapons scored direct hits without damaging it at all. It was only destroyed eventually by a solar flare.
The intrepid class by this logic should be number 1 cause they destroyed how many cubes?
I think you should flip the Romulan Warbird and the Galaxy class. Warbird in universe is reported to be more powerful than the Galaxy class. It also has the cloaking device, which gives it a huge advantage.
funny to see the Galaxy class featured so heavily, as it was canonically a symbol of federation hubris. A luxury liner, seriously lacking tactically, until the post borg-attack, and dominion war upgrades. Was also phased out rather quickly, as there was only so much that lipstick could do that particular pig
I do want to see the war-Galaxy that swaps the saucer for a docking array for half a dozen defiants.
In the TOS era the Klingon K'tinga Class warship was the most powerful.
Actually Sean, Growan's Flagship was called the IKS Sword of Kahless named after the Sword of Kahless of course I think.
What? The Pakleds didn't make the cut? LOL. Thanks guys! Great vid. 😊
The Jem'Hadar Fighter..And Galaxy Class?
Wth....
NO *Sovereign Class, NO Excelsior Class/Lakota Upgrade, Tamarian Cruiser(OWNED the Ent. D) and the BROKEN Scimitar of Course!*
Sovereign-class, Prometheus, Scimitar, 8472 Bioship, Assimilated Voyager (Scorpion, Part II; The Gift) are all clear-cut omissions.
The Jem'Hadar "fighters" are actually called the Jem'Hadar Attack Ships. The Jem'Hadar DO have "fighters" but those were smaller, much more comparable in size to the Peregrine-Class fighters and the Danube-Class Runabouts. The Jem'Hadar Attack Ship was a larger vessel, roughly the size of a frigate or a small escort, like the Defiant-Class, the B'rel Bird-Of-Prey, and the T'Varo Light Warbird.
🖖 Simon, you have the ABSOLUTE BEST Star Trek channel ever!
Never be scared of the haters.
Sean's comment that "Sometimes, its more about the pilot than the ship itself", echoes what Captain James T. Kirk told Kate Janeway in the Star Trek novel "Dark Victory" by William Shatner:
"You don't have to defeat the ship. Just the man."
Glad that the USS Defiant and IKS Negh'Var made the list, but the Constitution class Starship should've been cited as well.
Why?
As Captain Kirk noted to Anan-7 in A Taste of Armaggedon, after ordering Scotty to invoke Starfleet General Order 24- "The Enterprise will Destroy Eminiar VII."
'Nuff said. 🖖
I've never thought about asking this before, but what about some of the ships in the Star Trek reboots? In the first 2 movies, they had some ships that were almost indestructible, the first movie the Romulans and in the second Starfleet. Maybe you don't count the 3 rebooted movies as Star Trek, but there should be a mention somewhere.
Love the HGTTG ref at the start. 😂
No sovereign class, no Akira class, no species 8472 bioship.
Yeah def not a complete list
@@oninoni Gee, it's almost as if they plan on doing another video.......... lol
Undine bioshiips? IKS Bortesque? Trailblazer-class? Borg Unimatrix ships?
I kept thinking The Shrike or the Texas Class was going to show up at some point but they never did.
Holy cow this was underresearched. Sovereign? Scimitar? 8472 Bioship? Tactical Borg Cube? Voth? VGer? Prometheus? Romulan Valdore? Texas? Pakled clumpship? There's 10 right there.
What about that dinosaurs species from Voyager in Delta quadrant? Those were lightyears ahead of tech from Voyager. That could be explored in another video. 💪🙂👍
The Voth. Their mother ship may have been the largest ship in Trek. I would have liked to see how it would do in combat.
A Akira with 2 K'Vort class bird's of prey would be a great little force and my two favorite ships
On Voyager, they transferred the Doctor to another ship which was ridiculously overpowered.
Species 6821 (or whatever it was) on Voyager had ships that were ridiculously overpowered.
Again, on Voyager, the time machine kept and entire section of space, if not the Galaxy, under constant control all they fiddled with spacetime.
I think you should have put the Sovereign-class in the place of the Galaxy. The Galaxy's a cruise ship in space, the Sovereign made its entrance fighting the Borg. There was a tad bit of a difference there.
I dunno. I'd argue that V'Ger was inside a ship.
Nero's ship seemed pretty hardcore.
The USS Vengeance, The Scimitar, The Undine Bioships, The Voth City Ship... I'm not even thinking too hard.
The Voth City Ship is definitely one of the most powerful ships
The Pralor vessel from the Voyager Episode "Prototype" basically disabled Voyager in 10 seconds. The hive ship from the Voyager episode "Distant Origins," etc. It's a nice list, but i agree with the comments section. A part 2 or a reboot for this list could be a good idea
Well, there's gonna have to be another list now won't there?
No mention of the Krenim time ship? Thing can wipe out an entire species from all existence.
How did the Galaxy class beat out the Sovereign?
I realise we know too little about it to feature in the video, but immediately thought of the ship of the dinosaur race in Voyager: Distant Origins. I wouldn't be surprised if they could annihilate a Borg cube like it was nothing. 🦖
Soverigns, that dinosaur ship from voyager, the timeship from the year of hell, the relativity, the whale probe, the scimitar- Im sure there are other one offs im missing.
No love for the unrelated eating montage at the end?? 😂
I feel like there are some ommissions from the list. For example Intrepid, Sovereign, Species 8472 Bioship, Prometheus, every other size Borg ship, Krenim Warships/Timeship, Hirogen Ships, ect.
I believe there will be a supplemental list to this one... Too many ships were omitted from this list.
Inquiry-class (eg USS Zhang He) from Picard S1? Packed more of a punch than Galaxy-class IIRC
I'm actually surprised you didn't mention this Enterprise E Sovereign class because the siren class technically is more powerful than a Galaxy class
8:58 There's only one Jem'Hadar battleship here, the close-up ones are the battlecruisers, intentionally scaled up to look more menacing.
That's O.K. You do have to keep in mind that a ship is powerful in an era. I don't know if you can make a similar list about the TOS or Ent era but you might want to try.
You've definitely missed a few out there! The Sovereign class is more powerful than the Galaxy, you've also got the Nebula class which can be outfitted for either science or combat. The Prometheus with it's multi vector assault mode, also i'd wager the intrepid should be on this list considering what Voyager pulled off.
ooohh! A towel isn't for flying! it's just sustenance while you try to aim at the ground and miss! But for Spaceships, probability drives are great fun.
I'd rank the Defiant over the D'Deridex and the Galaxy classes. The Sovereign class also belongs to this list, I'd rank it just under the Borg Cubes, makint it the 2nd best (or the 3rd if you include the Scimitar). Great list anyway!
#11. The Sovereign-Class battleship, Sean darlin'. 🖖🏻
The Sovereign class isn’t here? I love you guys but a both the Jem’Hadar fighter and the Galor Class?
Maybe no spec for it, but I'd bet the Enterprise J would be top of the list based on the likelihood of technological advances and use the astoundingly amazing Hyperbolic Torpedoes and Turbo Phasers.
iirc the Defiant class had the same firepower as a Galaxy class, and being more maneuverable should be above the Galaxy. The D'Deridex should also be above the Galaxy I believe, though I don't remember any formal specs on it and the apparently newer Valdor (whatever the class) might be an improvement over the D'D.
Many have already mentioned other one-off ships, Scimitar, Narada, Voth, and a few others. One I'll add is the giant Fesarius from the Corbomite Maneuver.
Mentions special effects as a clip showing the floor covered in rocks plays. I always wondered why starships have parts built of stone.
Krenim timeship? Doomsday Machine (technically an automaton, but still)? V’ger (also an autonomous entity, granted)? Whale probe? Species 8472 bio-ships? Balok’s ship?
I'd take a Defiant class or Bird of Prey all day! Just some tough, reliable and elegant ships!
NX-01 would also be nice to have, but just because I like the "rough around the edges low-tech" approach contrasting previously seen iterations of humanity in Star Trek
I would argue that less than half of these ships belong on this list because you skipped a LOT. The Fesarius. The Voth city-ship. 8472's bioships. The Krenim time-ship. The Scimitar. The Shrike. VGER. I'm probably forgetting others.
Species 8472 had that wild planet killing attack formation. But we didn't see much else that it could do.
I just started watching DS9 with my girlfriend got to the introduction of the defiant and I was telling her how it’s one of the most powerful ships in the fleet and then I think the very same episode just gets torn to shreds. Then almost every other time is in a combat situation it gets beat the hell up. And she was like oh yeah,one of the strongest ships in the fleet, eh?
I always wondered if you could join borg cubes up To make an even bigger cube
The Galor class was no match for the Enterprise when first introduced in TNG 4*12 - "The wounded"
I'd like to see a Husnok battleship and Voth City Ship on this list.
Wondering how a Defiant-class shop would stack up against a White Star from B5.
The galaxy class had 3 torpedo launchers, the saucer has an aft one for use when it separates
It’s the tactical borg fusion cube? Didn’t watch yet
No mention of the akria if I'm sitting on the bridge of one of those bad boys I fear nothing.
