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.

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.  |

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. |

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. |

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.

As much as i love star wars seriously.... its so ******* full of bullshit that when i try to think about it from a science fiction standpoint i cannot help but feel like puking, by star wars statistics, Xwing fighters fire "laser Bolts" that do megaton damage to whatever they hit, at a rate of fire similar to that of an AK-47 basically they would disintegrate a titan in a few seconds. |

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. But 5,990 of those people are redundant. The whole ship can be run by just 10 people: Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Uhuru, Sulu, Chekhov, and Nurse Chapell. Them, plus two anonymous security guys to get chomped or vaporized on the more dangerous planets. USS Enterprise. As in the Aircraft Carrier. Not the Space Ship Enterprise. I have no clue how big the Trek frisbee is nor how many people are pretending to be on it.
Enterprise-D had a crew of around 700-800 (and also carried around 250 or so civilians as I recall)
It had an emergency capacity of around 5000 people.

I'd like to point out that all Federation ships in Star Trek were science vessels. The only exception was the Defiant, the only warship the Federation ever built, which was pretty obviously a frigate. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

Quote: Its length is given as 300 metres (980 ft), and it has a capacity of 100 crew and 850 passengers
It is classified as a cruiser in Star Trek and it can be "retrofitted". The first one was fit for exploration.
Without a doubt it is a t3 cruiser. From: Tommas De'Wins To: Cipher Jones Dude :) I got massives Basi hahahahahahaha |

In fiction, there is always an exception.
In the TNG ep. "Yesterday's Enterprise", it was made quite clear (in the parallel universe) it was an extreme battle-fit ship. |

Yes, I remember Picard saying some number slightly above 1,000 on board. Not sure what ep. |

There you go.
Also, the weapons on Federation ships were ancillary. Take the Defiant - barely larger than a shuttle, but capable of outgunning the Enterprise very easily, if you want to see what a warship looked like by Star Trek standards. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

Yup, the Defiant rocked. Even survived being 'stuck' with an unexploded torpedo in it's hull that I believe Quark had to disarm (and at one point he gives us his hilarious scream---almost outdid Chekhov on that ! ) |

Enterprise is a complete fail-fit.
High-slots are a mess, tractor beam, torpedoes and lasers together It has serious cap issues every time it goes to battle (but it seems they have auxillary power, must be a cap booster in mid). No AB or MWD obviously and no target painter to support the torpedoes, but I guess they used that mids to support shields, I admit they can take a few hits. But why armor in lows, instead of something to help tracking? Oh, and only one scout vessel in the bay (not even a drone)!
Did I miss something? |

Size-wise, depends on which one you're talking about
Firepower-wise, it's generally regarded that anything from the Star Trek universe could barely put a dent in anything from any other Sci-Fi universe.
It is very likely that the Caldari Ibis could destroy the entire Federation Navy in about two hours. |

actually your not right
NCC-1701 = constitution class cruiser NCC-1701A = refitted constitution class cruiser NCC-1701B = excelsior class heavy cruiser NCC-1701C = Ambassador class exploration cruiser NCC-1701D = Galaxy class exploration cruiser NCC-1701E = Sovereign class battlecruiser |
