Favorite non Federation warship

Post by Sarevok »

The D'deridex class Romulan Warbird is my favorite non-Federation ship. It is a massive warship with with more strength than the mightly Federation Galaxy. With it's cloaking ability the Warbird makes for deadly and silent killer.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Which era? TOS, TNG, Other?

If TOS I'd pick the BoP in STVI which could fire while cloaked.

If TNG I'd pick the same as you, the Rommie Warbird.

Other: I'm not sure this can apply, but the Galaxy-X refit Enterprise-D
in All Good Things. I know it's Federation, but it is also an alternate reality Federation. It's got a cloak, a third nacelle and that dynamo super-phaser at the front.

I have to disagree with your comment on it being more powerful than a Galaxy class. As for me I like the Vor'cha and Negh'var class ships.

In terms of firepower, the Warbird is about on a par with a Galaxy, not superior. In terms of warp performance, the episode "Tin Man" showed that a Warbird suffered the complete burnout of her warp drive in the effort to outrace the Enterprise to Beta Stromgren, indicating lesser endurance under maximum drive stress. And a cloak is not the huge advantage some make it out to be; furthermore, the Romulans must apply an emission nullifier to maintain stealth even when cloaked, and this device has its limitations as also observed in "Tin Man".

Negh'vars (TNG and DS9 era) and Klingon BOPs (TOS-era, though they've never changed really).

Jem'Hadar bugs are also pretty interesting-looking.

The TOS-era Klingon battlecruisers. They are no more structurally sound than any other Trek design, but they're not unusually bad by Trek standards and they have the cool long-neck with torpedo-hole in the nose look.

They apparently knock the shields of the targeted ships down and then fires a 'troop transport' of sorts that slams into the enemy ship and breaches the hull.

it's a toss-up between TOS era klingon battle cruisers and TNG klingon battle cruisers. both look neat, though the TNG one is more powerful.

I always loved the K'Tinga/D-7 design for the TOS/Movie Klingons.
