It's probably the reason I started watching the Star Trek movies...it just looked so cool.

The original design is iconic.



But I'm partial to the "refit" version seen in the original movies.



I felt a twinge of sadness when Kirk blew up the original one in the third movie, though I'm glad he got a replacement in the next one (and I'm glad it was another Enterprise and not the Excelsior, which I was never particularly fond of).



I don't really like any of the other Enterprises.  I especially dislike the Enterprise-D, which, with its huge saucer section, resembles nothing more than an encephalic child.  And I hate its interiors, which make it look like a Holiday Inn.

The enterprise from Movies 1-6 ftw indeed. Tho I did become partial to the latest Next Gen incarnation cause it looked so badass. The 1-6 movies enterprise had that 'ol dependable' attraction to it.

The first next gen enterprise sucked cause they had all those civies in the saucer section which was stupid. I mean if its the equivalent to say a romulan warbird why even bother having it double as a warship with a detachable impulse speed saucer section.

The Enterprise-E looks kind of bleagh to me, in all honesty.  :-\



It looks like a toy.

The Enterprise-D looked so lame...I'm glad it was blown up in Generations (the only good thing to happen in that movie).

I thought it was ridiculous how huge the Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E were.  They're like four times the size of the original Enterprise or something.  :-\

The problem with the E is that the design never became as iconic as the original, or even the D.  It was just a starship, nothing particularly special about it.

Just in terms of artistic design, the Enterprise is also a lot nicer.  The Millennium Falcon was designed with the whole "used universe" aesthetic in mind, which was in vogue at that time. I like that the modellers of the film version decided to eschew that particular design ethos and go for a very clean, classical look.  And even though it lacks all the thingamabobbles that the Millennium Falcon has all over its surface, the Enterprise still looks like a massive ship, a testament to quality of the physical models used.

Basically more star wars stuff used lasers n shit, which were what the star trekkerz universe used prior to phasers and whatnot.

I think the big problem in a star wars vs star trek match up is the mentality behind the ship design. Most cruisers in the star wars universe were outfitted primarily to defend against fighters and maybe assault another cruiser with, at most, turbo lasers. Most of the damage was expected to be carried out by Y-Wing/B-Wing escorted by A-Wings, with X-Wings being the jack of all trades (ie F-14) of the fighter forces. It's been demonstrated many times that Federation ships can easily spread phaser fire in 360 degrees to multiple targets. Deflectors of the star wars universe wouldn't be able to take a full capital ship grade phaser blast. Since the empire mirrored the fighter-based strategy aside from say the DEATH STAR which excelled at hitting things directly in front of it I cant see how'd they do much better.

Then you have the star trek universe which focused on capital ship combat, but not only that eventually evolved into a focus on extremely fast and heavily armored frigates which could unleash stupid powerful payloads (ie defiant) and evade most attacks. Additionally the Star Trek universe had much more time to mature as it never entered a bizzare post apocalyptic technology level (ie a new hope - return of the jedi). I mean turbo lasers will not even scratch star trek shields, at all. I mean thats kid stuff by then. Plus by the end of DS9 people were using quantum torpedos like candy, and Voyager introduced the cobalt torps which would probably rip the deathstar to shreds and those were carried by voyager which iirc is considered a scout class frigate. Then the shields of star trek ships are made to take high grade quantum torpedos. I mean I suspect their deflectors normally used to clear debrie would be enough to keep fighters from dropping 'bombs' so to speak.

I honestly dont take the Force shit into account cause that just breaks the whole goddamend match up, but then again you could pitch Janeway against the Jedi cause she'd just break 80 prime directives and make it so the rebellion never won.

Drinky: iirc if you fold space travel should take no time at all, while ships in hyperspace in star wars spent time IN hyperspace.

Defiant is still the toughest fucking ship in the galaxy, I mean not only was it fast, had a stupid powerful payload, could cloak, but also was made for battle and outfitted with armor that was MEANT to take hits without shields. This isnt counting the voyager or even its delta flyer after the future upgrades in the last voyager ep. Im not sure exactly what the federation did with those upgrades considering they were gained from an obvious violation in the time travel prime directive. I suspect if they kept those upgrades the balance of power in the universe would have been am fucked total. Then again ST:Nemesis showed nothing of the new abilities so I dunno what happened.

EH, tough to say. It was definately tougher than the Enterprise D IMO, but the E ditched the colony saucer and was outfitted with 'the latest shit'. I think the cloak of the defiant would give it the edge depending on its captain. Admittedly the Sovereign Class was intended to be top o the line elite blah blah but damn if cloak and crazy durability, payload, and mobility make the defiant the winner in my book.

The Ent-E only did well against the borg in first contact because of picards inside knowledge, I think if he was on the defiant with that crap it wouldn't have been so trashed in that movie.

From Wiki regarding lasers used in a trek episode against the OLD Ent-D:

Quote
Lasers
Lasers are a sidearm in the original Star Trek pilot "The Cage", and laser pistols appear in several Original Series episodes.

In one instance, the ship-mounted lasers of two spacecraft were incapable of overcoming the navigational shields of the USS Enterprise-D.

Also I was wrong about the voyager torpedos, they're TRICOBALT torps that tear holes in subspace, only used once umm ever, on voyager boggle. Voyager also had the strongest torps in star trek history in the finale:

Quote
Tricobalt devices
USS Voyager uses a pair of tricobalt devices to destroy the Caretaker array in the Star Trek: Voyager pilot episode, "Caretaker". Tricobalt devices are not a standard armament of Federation vessels and yields are calculated in Tera-Cochranes. The tricobalt warhead is a subspace weapon whose high-yield detonations can tear holes in subspace.[18][19]

Quote
Transphasic torpedoes
Transphasic torpedoes appear only once, in the Voyager series finale, Endgame. They are high-yield torpedoes that are designed specifically to fight the Borg. The future Admiral Janeway brought them back in time in a Federation shuttle-craft and had them installed onboard Voyager in 2377. They are among the most powerful weapons used in the Star Trek universe; this is evident from the fact that one torpedo is capable of destroying an entire Borg Cube, a feat normally requiring a severe amount of punishment using standard Federation weapons.

Debates are often centered on which faction would win in various military encounters. Technological, strategic and tactical considerations all come into play, as well as a diversity of side-issues. However, the technology and settings in the two universes are usually very different, making comparisons difficult. For example, warp drive works on different physical principles than hyperdrive, and the terminology used to describe speed is different.

from wiki. Guess we're both wrong lol.
