Quote:The Enterprise-D would not have been a match for a Jem'Hadar dreadnought, primarily because Jem'Hadar emergy weapons went right through Federation shields - thus the Galaxy-class ship that the Jem'Hadar destroyed (Endeavor, I think) in the first encounterm, as RodH points out.
6. Is the Enterprise-D a match for a Jemhadar dreadnought?
By the time of the Dominion War, the Federation had upgraded their shields and Galaxy-class ships weren't subject to that. If I recall correctly they're still out massed significantly but the Galaxy-class ships were mass-produced before/early in the Dominion War so they were probably reasonably effective - I'd guess at between three Galaxy-class being on par with 2 dreadnoughts to a 1-to-1 parity of effectiveness.
(They probably stopped building up Galaxy-class ships once the Akira-class was in full production because it's about as good in a fight and only 2/3rds as big so they could build more of them.)
