    Pure deathmatch? The Galaxy-class.

    Cardassian Nor-class stations are strong, but not mobile. They wouldn’t be able to repair against a series of guerilla attacks in rapid succession from an enemy who’s got firepower to burn and warp energy to spare.

    Nothing there except maybe the Intrepid can lay down a measure of the firepower a Galaxy-class has. Adding in secondary vessels, full torpedo loadouts, and even the possible crazy tactics like venting antimatter, it’s barely a question.

      It doesn’t matter how nimble you are when your enemy just launches five thousand quantum torpedoes at you.

        photons, i wonder why they never equipped ds9 with quantum, they also had alot of phaser batteries, plus a shield that withstands dominion weapons.

          Five. Thousand. Torpedos.

          They’ll just bomb the crap out of both ships. Carpet bomb the area - and don’t forget that quantum torpedos partially phase into subspace, so that’s gonna be great when you try and pull the warp trick - and it doesn’t matter how many illusory ships you pull up. You’re still farked. Then there’s the fact that each one of those “claws” has multiple phasers on it - way more than the galaxy class’ 12 arrays.

          Way of the warrior they take out eight klingon battle cruisers in about a minute and half and they’re trying to AVOID a war. Picard maneuver my arse.
