Howzabout the Heart of Gold? The Berserker? (I think we can safely rule out the Nostromo)

You know, I was all set to say that the Enterprise E from the alternate future in "All Good Things..." (NOT the one from the movies) was the strongest...but then I saw the Lexx in the options and got to thinking and, WOW, that's one powerful ship. I had pretty much forgotten about it. The one flaw though is that it takes so long to get going. The Deathstar is faster with almost as much power and the Enterprise E (AGT version) could rip through the Deathstar before it even got its power up. Then there's the Borg cube. Based strictly on the ship and ignoring the skill of the people running it, the Borg cube is stronger than the Enterprise E. It's been too long since I've seen Battlestar so I can't really remember how powerful that one is. As far as the Endeavour...why in the world is it even listed? Unless I'm missing something and you're not talking about the Federation starship. Anyway, that leaves the Borg cube as the most powerful.

I dunno if anyone was actually nerdy enough to read the Star Wars books, but does anyone remember the SunCrusher? It was better than the Death Star, and could destroy whole galaxies.
Han Solo stole it too.

I think it would come down to the Death Star and the Borg Cube. With the Borg Cube kicking serious ass and assimilating stormtroopers left and right.
Tell me you wouldn't pay to see that!

Wow,
I'm embarassed to say I've never heard of the Lexx, but powerwise, the Death Star is hard to beat. Of course, a large ship like the Enterpise can still easily avoid being targeted by it's main weapon, the question then becomes whose shield technology is superior, the Federation's or the Empires. In otherwords, can a tie fighter effectively attack a starship and can a starship knock through the Death Star's shields? Of course the most powerful ship that was mentioned at all is the Tardis, if you look past it's unassuming exterior and just think about it. The Tardis can time travel to any period and simply appear in a cargo hold of the Enterprise or the main reactor chamber of the Death Star and drop off an antimatter bomb before anyone could stop it. For that matter, it could just pop over to Coresant (sp?) and kill Palpatine before he ever came to power. I guess it's a good thing Time Lords are *mostly* benevolent.

I was thinking the Andromada, not because she is so powerful but because the AI is hot.
Voted for The Lexx for power and creativity. The show is strange and wonderful like real science fiction should be. The Lexx can destroy entire planets and fight off swarms of robot arms. |

I think Tophat had it right. The Heart of Gold needs no firepower. It has probability on its side.

The lexx would totally kick the asses of all of the listed ships BUT The Heart of Gold would win hands down... when you have infinite improbablity on your side what can possibly beat you?
As for the Tardis... it is really a space/time ship and so doesn't really qualify. Spaceship Yamamoto gets my consolation prize just because it is so cool.

But going from the choices given, I'm with the Borg Cube. Cuz the Borg would adapt to the other's weapons system and render them powerless.

How about the one in Hitchhiker's? It could wreak havoc on the fabric of space and time just by random chance.

I remember years ago sitting it my stupid SCUBA diving class day-dreaming, and drawing which ship would win in a battle: The Enterprise, or a Star Destroyer. It’s a tough call: the Enterprise had "main energizers" off line every time someone threw a soda bottle at them. They always lost warp power, but they always 'reconfigured'.
The Enterprise has 1,000(?) people on board? According to the books, the Star Destroyers have like 30,000 people? (Am I remembering that right?) It would be cool to see swarms of TIE's attacking. So could the SD win just with numbers – it all depends on who gets the first shot. As you can see, I had lots of time to doodle while I'm supposed to be learning about DCS… I am such a geek…
