Yes but remember that the Shivans have been around for thousands of years, the Terrans and Vasudans haven't been around that long. It would be silly to compare the GTVA resources to what the Shivans will have.

The Borg are vastly overestimated.  In First Contact a cube was destroyed by a Federation fleet that made up a small fraction of its size after the Borg had adapted to phasers and photons years ago.  You can tell how flimsy cubes are just by looking at them.  They have no armor at all.  A double shot of harbinger bombs (5 gigatons each) may be enough to destroy it, espcecially using realistic calculations made fromt he shows rather than the Technical Manual, which is neither canon nor official.

As for boarding operations, transporters generally fail to work in the prescence of thick armor (any Freespace ship) or large amounts of radiation (reactor or engine would qualify).  Lacking boarding craft, the Borg would be helpless without transporters.

Freespace capships, even cruisers, would be able to trash a Cube in nothing flat.

I'm very tired, so here comes a minor rant:

Dude, very few people if any here at HLP give damn about GTVA vs Borg or Star Destroyer vs Hecate. I think I speak for the majority when I say WE DON'T CARE. Even if we do venture down that road, wheeling out reasons like technical stas from various manuals or whatever and arguing about what's canon and what's not just makes the whole thing stupid.

Look, you're obviously a Warsie - someone obsessed with the 'reality' and technical details of stuff from sci-fi, Star Wars in particular. There are forums out there for people just like you, who like nothing better than to spend all day arguing over whether or not a certain class of ISD could flatten the Battlestar Galactica or why X-Wings are better than Mirmydons. Please don't start with that stuff in here because it makes our heads hurt, and is incredibly boring reading material. I mean, weren't you arguing the other day about how a Deathstar could realistically be constructed, but a sub-space drive couldn't? Good God man, give it a rest.

[/rant]

As DG said, no one cares anymore about which ship is better. We discussed this years ago. if you missed it, tough luck.

The thing of it is - how can you chose which ship class is best?

Would the fleet function as well without any one of those classes? They all have a role to play, supporting each other. The whole point of having different ship classes is that they compliment each other. A destroyer is no good without cruisers and corvettes protecting its arse. Fighters are no good without a destroyer to launch from. And so it goes on.

This is way I didn't vote in the poll until Free Terran KEPT GOING ON AT ME over ICQ. It's a truly dumb question.

Until a single, heroic bomber pilot takes out all their main beam cannons. Then they're screwed.

no single bomber pilot could have taken em out withoug thousands of other ones who gave their lives for that!

and no one could do that with an ship wich has over 100 turrets...
