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 "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame. A hero drinks a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that if he does a split in midair, he can hit twice as many zombies per kick. Drunk hero wins again, wusses." ~Cracked.com |

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. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

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.) Its good to be Gallente. |

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

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

Depends on the series of the enterprise.
OTs, probably a battleship. Next Gen/Movies dreadnaught class. Voyager, Battle cruiser Star trek Enterprise, HAC.
There just isn't anything intresting on the front page of the GD anymore. Yawn! |

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 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 |

TOS enterprise was the battlecruiser of its era, the exelcisor class would have been the BS of that era.
with TNG/DS9/Voyager, the enterprise D would have still been a battlecruiser despite its size, the enterprise E would have been more of a BS class vessel. the Defiant was something along the lines of a HAC but closer in size to a destroyer (massive firepower, small, fast package), the Voyager was more akin to a strategic cruiser and would be something like star treks equivilent to a tengu. |

To answer OP: Some sort of T3 cruiser set up with the scanning array and other exploration type stuff.
The Enterprise was a science/exploration vessel remember, not a dedicated combat ship. |

Ok, look at relative sizes to the Rest of what was out there, don't compare across universes in terms of size and armament, because EVE and ST have vastly different ideas on how future tech goes....
That said,
NCC-1701 (Constitution) was a registered Heavy Cruiser in Starfleet. (BC). It could fight Klingon d-7 Battlecruiser 1v1 with good balance, depending on Torpedo stores, which was the Fed-edge weapon system.
NCC-1701-B (Excelsior) was at least a half larger than the Connies. (Battleship)
By the time the C came along (Ambassador class), tech had jumped, along with size, with the Excelsiors now as battlecruisers, and the new Ambassadors as Battleships.
So, now watch 'Yesterday's Enterprise', and the difference in size from the C to the D. It actually wasn't that much.
The Enterprise-D seems to be a marauder, a full T2 rebuild of the old idea, with a ton of utility abilities that had never been crammed onto a ship like that before.
Carriers and dreads don't have a lot of help here, since by DS9 era, there were still no Dreadnought vessels (at least in the recognized cannon, SFB and such always had some triple-hulled, 3 nacelle monstrosities to cough at), and the only dedicated carriers in Starfleet were the Akira-class, which are actually closer to the old Constitution-class in size.
The Sovereign-E ? I don't see a direct comparison...maybe a Machariel...
This is a tricky subject also, not because of size and power, but of speed! Trek ships did not have speed limits. Everything from the smallest shuttle to Romulan D'Deridex Warbirds could accelerate to .7-.8 lightspeed on impulse, and could turn pretty fast too, thanks to the insane amount of physics-cancelling fields that were always killing inertia or ******* with the way mass worked.

Voyager could be an Arbitrator (sans drone bay....then again, maybe it was a shuttle construction bay instead...they lost 15 a season...)
The Defiant is a Stealth Bomber.
It also is silly and breaks all rules applied to all other vessels and all other ships, using the old 'Prototype!' go-to-line.
