But in the attack on DS9 no Dominion Dreadnaughts were able to take down the shields in one volly, the Negh'Var succeeded in doing that and the Sovereigns Quantum torpedo launcher is quite an impressive weapon.
I'm not sure if this was mentioned or if it's considered as valid ... but the Sovereign has been mentioned (not on screen) to be about 2 or 3x as powerful as a Galaxy class vessel (cannot recall where exactly).
So if it turns out to be the case ... effectively, it would put the Sovereign on equal ground, if not a bit above the Dominion dreadnought.
The Romulan Valdores are probably on par if not a bit below compared to the Sovereign.
The Keldons ... 1 easily subdued using a few shots by the Defiant.
Klingon Negh'Var ... dunno really as those were not put up against other adversaries (DS9 excluded) ... but I would say they would be on par with the Romulans.
If the Dominion dreadnought was effectively introduced during the war, but might as well have been created just prior to it (similar to the Sovereign class which was introduced way before FC took place ... and by then the Ent-E was already in service for a year) then I'd say that both are equal in regards to technological advantage ... with the Dominion resorting to techniques that the Feds usually wouldn't (which could most definitely increase the speed at which they construct ships in comparison to the Feds).

I cant remember which way around it is but it wa mentioned that the Dominion Dreadnought was either 2 times larger and 3 times more powerful than a Galaxy Class or 2 times more powerful and 3 times larger than a Galaxy class, I think it was the latter, if thats the case then IMO the Sovereign would kickass since its clearly far more powerful than a Galaxy especially with its Torpedo launchers and more powerful phasers.
If we take into consideration the shields were already pummeled for some time by the Klingon fleet whose weapons (most but not all) are not exactly as strong as the Negh'Var, I think that one part can be excused as a 'temporary overload'.
Although we all know the shields would never fail like that had it not been for the drama interference/necessity
.
*thinks the Dominion would win this one.
Whichever ship the heroes happen to be flying in at the time.
Yeah I can imagine that. The Enterprise gets destroyed so Kirk takes on the entire Klingon Empire in a shuttle and wins.
Kirk would find a way!!
The Dominion Dreadnought I think is the most powerful. I think it was Jake in Valiant who described it as being twice as large and three times as powerful than a Galaxy Class starship. Nog indicated that that information was accurate.
If we take that information as an approximation of just how powerful it is, then it most likely has the edge in power over a Sovereign.
The Sovereign would seem to be more powerful than the Valdore Class as it lasted longer in battle with the Scimitar than 2 Valdores.
The Negh'Vars have never been seen in battle against or alongside a Valdore or Sovereign, but I would think its on par with or more powerful than a Valdore.
That leaves the poor Cardassian Keldon at the bottom of the list.

I'd rate the Dominion battleship [along with the Romulan Scimitar] as the most powerful overall, but the Sovereign wins easily when one factors in the contestants' respective tonnage.
In other words, pound for pound, I'd take the Sovereign from among the choices offered ... and, using that criterion, I'd select the Defiant of all the capital starships we've seen.

Exactly. The Dominion Heavy Battle Ship was easily the strongest ship in the Alpha/Beta/Gamma only the uber Reman Warbird would be comparable.
The ship that attacked DS9 was a Battle Cruiser (non-X-wing) that Dukat commanded. This ship was powerful but was subdued by the Defiant and a couple BoP's. Now the Heavy Battleship is different, huge and powerful. I doubt if the Ent or anything the Feds had could take it down

The Dominion Battleship is the most fearsome ship of the Dominion shipline. It is the counterpart of the quick and agile dominion fighters. The ship was conceived in the late days of the Dominion Wars to counter the decline in power of the Jem'Hadar fighters.
Weapons: 2 Heavy Enforced Polaron Beams
8 Antimatter Torpedo Launchers
6 Polaron Cannons
6 Polaron Perimeter Beams
Shield Rating: 60F 30A 30P 30S 60D 30V
Ablative Armour: none
Hull Rating: 35
Tactics: All of the fire power is concentrated on the front-dorsal side of the ship. Manouver to keep the enemy in those arcs. Launch the fighters to divert enemy weapons fire.
The names of the ships may be confusing: When I released this ship some months ago, I called it "Battlecruiser", while it was actually "Battleship". Now this is the real "Battleship" and the newer ship is named "Battlecruiser".
The Dominion Battleship is designed for short intense combat. This is reflected in the ship energy balancing. To decrease construction costs, the ships must rely on vast power batteries instead of an expensive large power core.
The Dominion Super Battleship is comparable in size to a Borg Sphere, and can match it's firepower, if not its efficiency. It is the largest ship in the Dominion Fleet. Among the 4 main factions of the 2nd Dominion War, this Super Battleship is considered the most powerful ship around. Although it's does not have the firepower of a Reman Warbird, it more than makes up for that with it's amazing defences, and surprising maneuverability, especially for a ship which is 1500m in length!! Only 2 Super Battleships have ever been destroyed, and on each occasion it has taken an entire fleet to overwhelm it. Unfortunately for the Dominion, these ships are extremely difficult to construct, and require an enormous crew to maintain, which is why there are so few of them in use.
Just a few internet sources about the ship.
But the problem persists in the fact that the Dominon Heavy battle ship was introduced around the same time the Sovereign class was.
We only saw it going up against the puny Defiant.
Yes it's possible that Jake gave the accurate description of the vessel in question, but begging your pardon he was a journalist, and hardly an engineer.
It's entirely possible his firepower estimation was incorrect because I don't think he was on par with numerous upgrades SF was doing to it's ships.
He was mostly either on DS9 or on the Defiant.
Besides, that was comparing the said ship to a Galaxy class, and not the Sovereign class.
The Sovereign class (Enterprise - E in this case) is supposed to have been the best of SF at the time of it's construction.
And if I'm not mistaken, SF was well aware of the Dominion by that time and began devising new ways of fighting them.
Now also couple all of that with the fact the Sovereign was designed to fight the Borg.
Which in essence is similar to the Defiants role, but still on a far larger scale.
I'd say the Sovereign is on par with the Dominion Heavy Battle ship, but the Scimitar is the one on top (that one was clearly something that indicated it would mop the area with the Dominions strongest).

None of them, the Prometheus class could at a pinch ram two of it's sections into an enemy ship and still have a third section to finish off anything that's left, no other ship can do that.
As for the dominion battleship, a defiant manned by kids got a run on it, surely a Prometheus being faster and x3 is going to just slap two of it's hull sections into the dominion ship and finish it off with the third good section.

Voth city ship? Borg cube? Of course, the Wells class is much more powerful than any of them.
I'm not familiar with the Wells class ship. ?
The U.S.S. Relativity (from VOY: Relativity) was a 29th-century Starfleet Wells-class timeship whose mission was to police the timeline.
