I originally thought it must be a BS class but now I think its kind of like a cruiser with some scanners, hacking and salvage ( probably even some PI capability )

Saw this link , not sure if the reative sizes are true; for example I could not image hundreds of people living in only a 400-600 M starship for very long ? Link: http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/size-comparison-of-famous-sci-fi-spaceships-infographics/

Got me think about what other comparisons could be made .... the Nostromo (the name of the ship from the original Alien movie ) is probably a Rorqual ?

Any way your thoughts ... please

I'd say it's closer to battlecruiser but not quite there. Maybe a heavy assault cruiser

Apples and Oranges, and you're trying to compare video game spaceships limited by balancing measures with a cinematic science fiction spaceship limited by the writers' imaginations.

Well if I remember my Star Trek lore right the NCC-1701 series is a galaxy class exploration vessel, hope that helps.

(Personally I would say something along the lines of the Ishtar.)

The original Enterprise was a T2-fit Ibis...

The Kirk/Spock Enterprise was more Prophesy... It could pack a punch, but had all those engineering issues... Twisted

The ST:NG Enterprise is more Tengu... Can pack a decent punch, kinda sexy... But it's no Nightmare. P

Epic question. Carry on star-trekkers

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

A Naval Ship of the 17th-18th Century would carry a crew of hundreds (The HMS Victory carried a crew of 800) while being far smaller than that (The HMS Victory is under 70m long, 15m wide) and be at sea for years. Sailing was the rough equivalent of space flight at the time.

The USS Enterprise is 340m by 80m (max) and carries a complement of up to around 6,000. They don't call them floating cities for nothing.

Depends on the series of the enterprise.

OTs, probably a battleship.
Next Gen/Movies dreadnaught class.
Voyager, Battle cruiser
Star trek Enterprise, HAC.

The nostromo is basically a tow boat. It's eve equivalent would be the noctis probably. The rorqual would be more like the Ishimura from dead space but that's not exact as the rorqual doesn't usually mine on its own.

The enterprise I would guess would be a tier 1 battleship as on most you have space for few compliment of weapons plus space for other stuff. The original enterprise would be a cruiser. I would see the voyager/ intrepid class as a t3

The USS Enterprise in ToS was a Constitution class heavy cruiser. So a multi-role T3 such as Legion or Tengu would be a functional match-ish.

The Rorqual has a mass of 1.2 billion tons. The Nostromo is a bit smaller than that. OTOH, the Nostromo was carrying twenty million tons of ore and towing a refinery.

The Nimitz class carriers are equivalent to the supercarriers in the game. I was going to suggest Titans, but I just don't think that there is a real-life equivalent in the game.
The Nimitz class can project power anywhere in the world, and be the backbone of a multi-role task force.
The Eve supercarrier class can project power anywhere in low and null sec, and be the backbone of a multi-role task force.

this is not Star trek nor is it the same universe there is no ubership in this game , war ship with family and children nor with a 16 year old ensign that saves the ship every third episode or with a captain that can't keep his trousers on etc etc
Stop comparing with Star Trek with EvE

( Star trek all series was great but so different than this universe no point in making comparrisons )

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire
