Definitely with Yoda and MSD... its all about the Sun Crusher. It can take out an entire solar system, yet its still small enough to deal with small fighters. And the whole invulnerable thing doesn't hurt, either.
People keep bringing up the death star... the death star sucked! It got taken out by a light fighter! I want a ship that can take some hits, and still keep kickin'. Out of the available choices, I'd definitely have to go with the Lexx. It's just that cool...

Nice Douglas Adams reference...
But what about any of the Honor Harrington ships? The Benjamin the Great class Superdreadnaugt ships would do some major damage to most of the ships in this list. Being over 4,200 meters in length and with that arsenal, I think tha it would win. But if I had to pick from the list...I'd say the Lexx

The Vorlon planet killer is the most powerful ship in sci-fi by far.
Organic technology (a living ship) 6-7km across its y axis 42-58km long and wipes out planets with one shot, plus needs a fleet of "first ones" ships to destroy it as is uses bio tech defenses that learns every time it is hit and adapts. Last edited by marakor; 10-10-2008 at 08:34 AM.. |

I chose Galactica over the Lexx because I think the crew is innovative and talented enough to achieve more than the Lexx ever could. I bet the crew could even find a way to destroy the Lexx, either directly or indirectly. Being able to launch those Vipers and Raptors is definitely an advantage.

Most powerful? The one in my pants.
Seriously, though, I vote for the one that impacts in Death Valley in "The Hammer of God". Nothing like injecting something that's going to devour the planet.

First time I have seen this thread.
No clue what the Lexx is without a google search (just did a google search & found a wikipedia page to a series I have never heard at all, something about a sexual themed sci-fi show) the ship from Battle Star Galactica was impressive in the original series, no clue how is it is the new one - but take away the support ships and the aircraft carrier will eventually go down, albeit at a possibly high price No clue about the Endeavour as well, all that means to me is the wooden ships, the recent shuttle craft and a certain class of ships from Star Trek Going with the Borg Cube, any of the Enterprises shown for more than five seconds or in any detail would lose badly against it. if the list is for 'Space Stations', then cover the exposed exhaust port with a grill and change to a much smaller opening and I would choose the death star. edit: but Terok Nor/DS9 is a much more grungy and vribrant character overall in my opinion

Any Question about ass-kicking space monstrosities - IT'S UNICRON
Unicron, the Planet Eater vs. the Death Star, the Planet Destroyer
Unicron's ability to turn into something other than a ball tends to give him an advantage. Voltron's Blazing sword works great for the Planet Eater. Perhaps he aquired it during a previous battle? Unicron Loves All Maybe a rematch against DeathStar Vader is needed to Ulitimately Claim a Champion of the Universe? click to show

If Federation ships were armed with project Genesis they can do just as much damage as the Deathstar and Lexx.
The Event Horizon can fold space and it brought Hell back with it. Was in another thread, but if you were ever intersted to see who would win between the old and new Enterpises:

For this thread to be any more than simply a spewing of different ship names, there needs to be some kind of criteria set to the ultra subjective term "powerful". Any ship that can time travel has universe-ending potential. That seems pretty "powerful" to me.

All they had to do is put some grating to cover up those exhaust tubes on the Death Star.
But noooooooooooooooooooooooo, some stupid bureaucrat in the Imperial High Command had to go bitching about cost overruns. I told him don't worry about that shit, Vader would sign off on it, but then he started crying about how the last time he brought it up to him he got the invisible choke hand. I told him to man the fuck up next time, but he's too much of a wuss. And now look what happened. Maybe they'll listen to me next time.

it's an avant garde piano. totally destructive.
The Borg Cube over all, more sinister than the Lexx, it can be hooked up in series, and overwhelm anything. yes, it can be defeated, but so can the death star (which is technically not a ship as pointed out). For pure single minded take-overness, the cube is a bitch. Even more powerful than the mighty guild ships, or the jihad ships. -----Added 9/1/2009 at 04 : 11 : 53----- Quote:

Speaking only for myself, I was never really distracted by the scifi tech in Dune. The story, the characters, the philosophy and religion, etc. all kept my attention so well, it seemed the scifi tech was really only an afterthought.
Some science fiction stories require interesting tech to draw people in. Dune was a space opera first and a science fiction second. |

Tin Man from the Star Trek TNG Episode of the same name. It may not have described all of its secrets, but from what was shown it was powerful.

The TARDIS would seem to be the winner.
Just consider that when Rose gazed into the heart of the TARDIS she achieved the power to change reality. Does any other ship give god-like power to anyone who looks at the engine?

I noticed. I wish I had more time to read than I do. I still need to finish the series and then get cracking on the prequels.

I've done the first part of the series about 3 times (the first 3 books that is) and the rest of them have had a couple of read throughs. Unfortunately, I misplaced my Chapterhouse, which I want to re-read before attempting the next two (hunters & sandworms). I did read through all of the Preludes & Legends as well. The backstories are fun, if not as poignant as the originals.
