U.S.S. Voyager vs Assimilated Voyager vs Warship Voyager vs Armored Voyager

[somebuddyX]

Just a dumb who would be the strongest thing.

1. U.S.S. Voyager from regular episodes with it's regular arsenal.
2. Assimilated Voyager from "Scorpion Part 2" with it's nanoprobe launching photon torpedoes that wiped out Species 8472 ships.
3. Warship Voyager from "Living Witness" with all it's triple armored hull, thirty torpedo tubes, twenty phaser banks
4. Armored Voyager from "Endgame" with it's batmobile shielding and Borg cube busting weapons.

My gut says Armored Voyager or put simply it would be 4, 3, 2, 1.

Obviously armored voyager, it destroyed borg cubes as if they were nothing.

I would agree, except that I'd add that a fully assimilated Voyager probably would beat 3.

I think Armoured Voyager beats any real Voyager, but Warship Voyager is fictional, so that puts a real question mark over its capabilities. Assimilated Voyager served its purpose but they took a lot (but not all) of the Borg modifications off afterwards for a reason, so I'm thinking that post-The Gift Voyager could probably take it.

Right now I'm leaning towards 3, 4, 1, 2 but that might change after I rewatch Living Witness and refresh my memory about what the imaginary ship can do.

3 is strongest, or would be if it had ever actually existed. Boogeyman ships are unstoppable by nature.
4. Is second, because of its futuristic technology.
1 is third, the ship we know and love.
2. Is fourth. If the Borg modifications had made Voyager a more powerful force, it's unlikely that Janeway would have found it necessary to remove them.

Its a bit of a tossup between 3 and 4 mainly because the fictional warship from 3 has 'triple armored hull' and massive weapons (30 torpedo tubes... but 20 phaser banks is only an uptick of 7 vs original VOY 13).

The 4 makes up for it with its ridiculously thick deployable armor (which was specifically designed to be effective against extremely powerful Borg weapons) and transphasic torpedoes (which probably phase through the shields and hull and explode inside with far greater yields than your run of the mill photon torpedoes).

I think in terms of actual firepower, 4 would kick fictional warship VOY rear end easily. One transphasic torpedo ought to be enough in fact.

As for number 2 (partially assimilated VOY)... it was said to have had hull armor... and the Borg usually use ablative hull armor for their ships, so this was probably added as a very thin layer to the external hull, or as a support field of some kind which augmented VOY's hull... or maybe it was added internally with nanoprobes into the Tritanium hull itself?
Which means, VOY had enhanced hull durability since that point - but I don't think this would have worked because the armor had to be 'engaged'... and with removal of most Borg tech from the ship in the following episode, it stands to reason that hull armor became ineffective.

Number 2 doesn't seem to have any augmentations to the weapons... except for torpedo warheads which were modified to be effectiveonly against 8472 ships... they wouldn't be very effective against most other ships.
Its hull armor though would give it an upper hand in tactical situations in general, but its not more powerful than 3 or 4.

And number 1... baseline VOY... weakest of the lot.

I think we are forgetting the upgrades 'One' (Borg drone) gave VOY. They were mostly internal though, (so no external changes).

The GOAT seemed to do wonders with whatever version of Voyager she possesses; with group think in the writers room I'm sure they could've found some magic for each version of the ship to do what it needed to do to make our good Captain to appear infallible. If these ships were plotted to fight amongst themselves, I think it would end up a tie because each ship has some version of the GOAT sitting in the Center seat.

I think a fully assimilated Voyager would have more and more expansions continually being built onto it, so that eventually it becomes another regular Borg cube.

Clearly 4 wins, hands down.

But a fusion of 3 & 4, with 2’s nanoprobe photon torpedos would be a force.

 

[Markonian]

Armored Voyager wins because it is armed with two Janeways.

 

[t_smitts]

None of them is stronger than the RIck Sternbach Voyager concept.

Ha! I like to think that the unseen Bradbury class from TNG was the Intrepid concept. It underperformed, leading to a quick decommissioning of the USS Voyager NCC-73602.
Thus, in my mindscape, it would be the weakest of the bunch.

Very Dauntless looking from Prodigy.

I agree, it was Admiral Janeways armored Voyager, that inflicted a lot of damage on the Borg. Eventually, the Borg would have beaten that technology and assimilated it, but it was nice to see Voyager blow up three cubes at once
