The Galaxy is actually the bigger ship going by displacement so it's not unreasonable that a modernized and deliberately militarized version of it would be able to contend with a Sovereign class.
Agreed. The original Galaxy class was 60% empty space. This allowed for extraordinary mission flexibility, and it was always intended to be essentially a mobile embassy/disaster relief vessel/long range explorer. But fill in all those blank spots and you could pack in a huge amount of military-specific hardware. And the shields/phasers were already top notch.
@@Skirne Definitely. Likewise if you went a step further and stripped out some of the more luxury oriented features like the holodecks, arboretum etc. There is a lot of space to work with installing things like extra shield generators or aux power generation, expanded torpedo magazines or hanger space. You could even design an entire new saucer section for it that was exclusively military focused and just swap it on whenever needed. The whole theoretically swap-able saucer ability was criminally underused in the series. It gives the design so much potential flexibility. As for how it stacks up overall to a Sovereign when fully militarized though, I'd say the Galaxy would probably have the advantage in phasers and overall survivability, with the Sovereign having an edge in torpedoes and manoeuvrability.
I never got the idea that the Sovereign was any kind of combat powerhouse. We saw it in three movies and in all of them it got heavily trashed. I know it's all plot that determines how a ship handles itself in battle on-screen, but the Sovereign seemed to follow the post Dominion War strategy of "smaller ship, smaller crew and make up the difference with tech" whereas the Galaxy was "let's put everything we got into this ship." That the Galaxy wasn't a better battleship is more because it wasn't designed for that role than that it wasn't capable of handling itself. A Galaxy class was essentially a mobile star base with tons of scientific and crew resources for long missions away from Federation space.
Your War Galaxy is certainly impressive. It shouldn't have been able to beat a Sovereign, but the fact that it did without taking major damage is more than little impressive.
on paper a war galaxy if maxed to the max potential with 2370s tech should be able to beat a sovereign. my reasoning more space for redundant power systems for shields and phasers. the galaxy could house multiple warp cores. imagin a warp core directly to fuel just the phasers? the galaxy class should be able to on paper cripple a ship with just one phaser strike. or that warp core to give it secondary shielding. the galaxy could house a super sized quantum torpedo launcher that could burst fire quantum torpedoes. the galaxy could hold even more torpedoes. the galaxy class could be given evne thicker hull armor and hull plating.
@@cosmeticscameo8277 I suppose going by that logic the Galaxy class would be rebuilt to become a Federation Battleship given its immense internal volume being repurposed for war. Where as the Sovereign class would be a fast Battlecruiser. It makes sense.
@@jonharper4478 remember in yesterday enterprise if push comes to shove the galaxy class can be turned into a battleship. sovereign class is still better as for every galaxy you can churn out 2-3 sovereigns.
The primary difference between the two ships comes down to the Sovereign's armor, speed and bigger power-plant. From a weapons standpoint they are moderately matched (Sovereign has more torpedo tubes). If a Sovereign were a 10, the Galaxy Refit would be like an 8 or maybe, if one is generous, 9. A good captain could certainly win using the Galaxy.
if the galaxy has upgraded tubes that can burst fire quantum torpedoes it would even it up. imagine firing 5 QT in one burst and a galaxy can fire a burst ever 8 seconds?
I think the Galaxy might actually have a bigger power plant than the Sovereign . . . it's just that it's so much MORE ship to move that it's power hungry compared to the sleeker, more efficient Sovereign.
iirc, during the dominion war, combat refit galaxy class ships were used more like starfighter carriers and fleet command ships. i mean, might as well use that *ENORMOUS* hangar that takes up half the saucer for something, right?
Thanks! I’ve posted a video you might like today, Yorktown Revenge! I made it for you, haha! REVENGE Is A Dish Best Served Cold | LETS GET THE YORKTOWN! | Star Trek Ship Battles | ua-cam.com/video/hNmyjB2DFSo/v-deo.html
I think people forget how much of a beast the galaxy class was even though it wasn’t designed for war. At the time it was launched it was the most powerful ship of the federation. At its first encounter with the borg they had the cube on the ropes prior to them adapting. Of course technology advances and better ships are built but the old ones get refitted. I don’t know why multiple launchers weren’t installed because they definitely had room for it. Also even with only 1 fwd launcher it could fire multiple torpedoes at once making up for not having multiple launchers. The galaxy class is always judged against later ships never against contemporary ships. An updated galaxy class with armor added would be more of a match for anything. The Enterprise D took on a large borg cube successfully in Picard season 3 with limited weapons.
Decisive victory to the Dominion War Galaxy class Refit there. You picked the Sovereign class apart and suffered no real damage yourself. Try the battle the other way around now to see how poorly the AI performed. I don't play this game myself but enjoy Star Trek and your versus battles are quite interesting. Is it possible to do PvP engagements in this game?
I agree with the outcome. The Galaxy class should have overwhelming power production and wide angle phasor arrays compared to the Sovereign class, however the Sovereign class should clearly win on torpedoes per second, armor and mobility. I also agree with the nearly equal shielding as although the Galaxy class would have had significantly greater power production, it also had a significantly larger shield bubble due to the size which it would be forced to maintain. Overall, the most unrealistic thing about that battle is how nimble the Galaxy class seems in comparison to the Sovereign class. I also think that the Galaxy class would have suffered more random "lucky shots" as compared to the Sovereign as the increased size of the shield grid would likely lead to random gaps forming during continuous bombardment. However, I think that the Galaxy class's phasor array, for as buffed as it is, still isn't as powerful as it should be compared to lore and on screen experience. At first encounter with the Borg, the Enterprise straight up melted half a Borg cube with a few overpowered shots from their main saucer phasor array. I think this level of sheer power should be similar to the Sovereign's rapid fire quantum torpedoes which could be used to gain decisive victory under certain conditions. Although the phasor array may no longer be effective against the Borg, the main array on the Galaxy class should minimally be capable of instantly vaporizing 3-4 Miranda class ships with single shots while their shields are down.
I'm a Galaxy class man all the way. With how big its frame was I'm sure it would have had an awesome Beast mode. Think with all that internal space dedicated to munitions and a fighter wing. Sovereign class hasn't got the space for such shit.
I must say .. your refit is nice but a little overpowered. The sovereign doesnt even have aft quantum torpedos. And the shields are insane. But it was a nice battle :D
The Refit Galaxy especially if it had Quantum Torpedo's would be a very interesting fight. I think the ships are close in terms of strength with the Sovereign having somewhat more powerful phasers and ablative armour whilst the Galaxy class would have the larger internal volume for additional refits and a massive shuttlebay that could be used for fighters. I think its going to be down to who is commanding each ship. Picard in a Sovereign vs Riker in an Galaxy Refit would be the Hathaway all over again
The Sovereign carries Type XII phaser arrays which are substantially more powerful than a Galaxy Class's Type X. But, one assumes that the Galaxy Refit had the Type X strips removed and replaced with Type XII. At that point the Sovereign still wins due to its more powerful power plant, but the difference is marginal.
nope if galaxy has the same phaser arrays as the sovereign galaxy would have bigger phaser arrays hence it would punch much harder. the galaxy class could carry a larger warp core if needed.
@@cosmeticscameo8277 Physical length of the array doesn't equal more power at a geometric rate. The smaller strip on the ventral secondary hull has as much punch as the one on the saucer. Power-plant, and other generators, dictate the relative phaser output from ship to ship with the same phaser types, which is why the Type X on a Galaxy Class is more powerful than the Type X on a Norway Class. And while Starfleet could install a new warp core, or already has, there is nothing in canon to suggest the Galaxy's power output is greater. The Sovereign is consistently referred to in materials of the time it was introduced as being considerably faster than the Galaxy Class and having far superior shields than even the Galaxy refits seen during the Dominion War.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 from what i see is the war refits galaxies shown in ds9 were basically just given the most basic up grades. half of the galaxies were basically half empty starfleet decided not to dump any more resources on the galaxy class and focused more on the other classes makes sense. you can only be in on spot at any time. you could have a whole group of defiants or 3-4 akiras or 2-3 sovereigns for every 1 galaxy. if they could, a maxed out galaxy class would be super scary like a mini scimitar with multiple warp cores to add redundant power systems. secondary shields. more biggre QT launchers. more phasers more of basically everything. but you would have diminishing returns i get it.
As you stated, the Sovereign was designed, from the ground up, to be something that could take on the Borg. Whereas the Galaxy's ethos was exploration. The Galaxy class is only about a decade older than the Sovereign, but it would have many upgrades done, throughout it's lifespan, and I've said before it can make a formidable weapons platform. However, I do feel a Sovereign should still win this one, fairly comfortably. Maybe put 2 AI's against each other, and watch the show?
I feel like the Sovereign's AI did a terrible job of using its advantages and just placed sitting duck. A war refit galaxy is impressive and in the hands of a well seasoned veteran crew it could possible beat a sovereign but not as handily as this. Maybe the sovereign was crewed by cadets?
the sovereign is just better because for the price of on galaxy you could probably build 2-3 soverigns. better rate on return. that's what i can understand from reading military cost vs reward info out there. hence why no one builds battlships anymore and even carriers are dubious now with how far you can shoot missiles, how hard to anti missile, and accuracy of missiles. hence best bet would be to build more smaller ships to spread it out.
That’s good reasoning. Yes, in the real world large ships, excluding aircraft carriers are very much a thing of the past. I suppose their less of a target and more stealthy being smaller as well. I still see the value in aircraft carriers, for global power projection. Although, they might as well paint a big bullseye on them.
That way crazy what a great fight I think you should try a fleet of your updated Galaxy class vs DS9 and see how you do maybe about 10 or 20 of them I would love that
Starfleet should have upgraded the Galaxy class starships after the battle of Wolf 3:59 instead it took Starfleet 5 years after the fact to build starship really caple of Defending the UFP
I know it's just the nostalgia talking (I grew up with TNG on broadcast television) but I was very happy to see the Galaxy Class successfully defeat a Sovereign class ship. Not that I don't like the sovereign, but the Enterprise D is just special to me, much like for my parents' generation, the original NCC-1701 Enterprise is special to them. I suppose it's similar to how I enjoy watching tuned Buick Regal Grand Nationals from the 1980s beat Dodge Hellcats and C8 Corvettes at the drag strip.
The Galaxy and the Warbird seems in my mind to be flying starbases. The Galaxy for research/diplomacy and the warbird for Deep long cover ops to just be a cloaked platform for Tal Shiar Business. The galaxy looks amazing though!
Liked the battle, but your commentary plus zooming in to show damage on sovereign cost you 2 torpedo attacks and unnecessarily exposed your ship to 3 to 4 more. We can see damage by the HUD indicators, so spend time on what matters most: unnecessary damage and winning convincingly.
I was thinking you'd win, the refit has every bit the firepower of the Sovereign. The AI messed up by not using its speed and maneuverability to its advantage. But I agree with you, the Galaxy has a better phaser array. If my heart were still in it, I might still lose, but the Galaxy refit would make the people at the nearest Starbase very unhappy 😆 They'd probably just strip it for parts and build a new one 😄
Sovereign has a way better phaser array. It has Type XII phasers vs the Type X on the Galaxy. It also has significantly more of them. Same with torpedo launchers. Remember, War Galaxy Class ships were getting carved up by those Cardassian weapons platforms. The Defiant with its shields and armor was the only ship to not get giant chunks blasted out of it.
Love that new mod of the Galaxy Class. I agree that a ship of that magnitude would have been upgraded to the latest technology and armaments. Always easier to upgrade existing ships than build new ones. I also find it hard to believe that the galaxy class only had two torpedo launchers. I always imagined a galaxy class refit would have atleast two front, two rear torpedo launchers on the stardrive and saucer section. Making it more capable and deadly during saucer separation.
I dont understand why this old quantum torpedo model is still used, there are far better ones, why not the one from the Sovereign, or from the Defiant?!
3:26 technology such as ablative armor on the fish tank in the ready room. This was a key component in the victory of the Retro Badger Galaxy class today.
Problem is these ships are not designed far apart, Galaxy refit vs sovereign goes to Galaxy especially if is equipped with ablative armor and quantum torpedo launchers
The Sovereign did a better job of keeping it's primary weapons ON TARGET...just seemed to out-turn the Galaxy. In Star Trek Legacy (I know it's a different game) the Galaxy had a better speed rating than the Sovereign. Your Galaxy refit held up well.
I think it shows that the RBG upgrade is just a little too much. Yes, post-Dominion wars the Galaxy class and others would likely benefit from some technology upgrades, but those upgrades would probably not help the structural weaknesses that are inherent in the Galaxy vs a ship that while not a dedicated warship was designed with battling the Borg in mind. I think you really see that in the fact that none of the shields went down on the RGB mod, but the Sovereign had multiple arcs fail. As you said, the RGB mod should make it an 8 vs a 10 in the Sovereign.
Good battle , but you have to do the reverse battle To make up for the AI
I agree, try the reverse...the difference might be the captain 😀
Yes! I have a feeling the Sovy will win quicker 😂

Bigger great more hit points less manoeuvrable less fire-power than the Sovereign class no auto regenerative shielding.

I'm a Sovereign guy through and through, but the galaxy refit is impressive. got to see it from the other side.
Agreed! Coming soon!
I'll always love the Galaxy class. Happy to see it win here. The Sovereign class never did much for me.
Good thing about the Galaxy class is, it's really easy to just strap a bunch of big honkin' guns on it.
