What was the most powerful starship ever to appear in any of the Star Trek series?

Year Of Hell

Pat I

Part II

As I re-review these eps, I see it was an action taken, not not taken.

Cheers

Species 8472 was in Scorpian, Part I and Part II.

This ep is where 7 of 9 is introduced. Fluidic space was never adequately explained…


Dinoguys were in Distant Origin.

Sorry to glut your thread with posts, but I just realized that TOS’ City On The Edge Of Forever may be the first Trek use of the Reset Button™

And Voy did it in the 4th ep of their very first season, Time And Again.

maybe I’ll go back in time, just a little, and “reset” this thread…

I think it was Scimitar, and yeah, it was quite badass. I wish they’d shown some clearer shots of it. Was it supposed to be a unique craft or were there more of them out there?

I think the Scimitar was unique… built specifically for the purpose of attacking Earth directly.

And I loved “Year of Hell”… probably the most all-out exciting Voyager episodes ever, and the Reset Button ™ actually made sense in that one. Not only that, but the way it was done just kicked ass.

Nobody’s mentioned the future version of Voyager? From the finale?

You know, the magic ship with Batmobile armor and torpedoes that destroy Borg cubes in one shot…

Oh wait… doesn’t count? Another badly used time travel premise?

What about Tin Man/Gantu?

They’re ships and they travel amongst the stars. They count. :stuck_out_tongue:

By the way, the Scimitar in Nemesis was likely a one time ship, much like the bird of prey in The Undiscovered Country and the Son’a ships in Insurrection.

I’m happy that way, too… that ship was ugly.

In the animated series, there was a ship which could travel well in excess of the Enterprise’s speed. Warp 20 or 40 IIRC. I don’t know about armaments, though, and I don’t remember the name of the ep or the ship. I have the series but haven’t watched it for a long time.

Urban1z…

I suspect you’re thinking of “The Counter-Clock Incident”, which had an alien scout ship (from a reverse universe!) that could do at least warp 36. I think it also destroyed a star, to open a gateway back to the normal universe.

Yes… sadly, I knew that without consulting any reference materials… and I’m spouting Trek trivia on a Saturday night. :frowning:

My vote is for the standard Shuttle. It could crash-land on a planet fifty times in one day, but it was ALWAYS back up and running in perfect order by the next episode. Damn things were invincible!

NoClueBoy covered it pretty well, but to expand on it, the “Reset Button” plot device was in play whenever something really major or permanent happened, i.e. the death of a major character. Typically, the episode also contains a time machine, space-time continuum framistat or a Q member, or some other deus ex machina device that can “undo” all the action in the episode and restore everything to normal. Sometimes it’s done reasonably well, but Voyager was notable for doing it way too often.

Tin Man seemed pretty uberpowerful, what with his ability to knock Galaxy class starships light years through space and vaporize others at a whim.

I would say the Klingon B10 battleship would be a contender for TOS

It’s not a ship unless it has a crew of some kind.

So a derelict vessel isn’t a ship? :dubious:

V’ger was the crew and the passenger.

It is not a ship unless it is designed to carry a crew.

V’ger accomodated Decker and Ilia and we never saw the interiors of the other vessels.
