Today, I present a another forum topic for the Star Trek-themed forum post series Starfleet Forumdock. In this topic, it's debate between two versions of the Constitution-Class starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from separate realities within the Star Trek canon: the ST: TMP Enterprise (the Prime Reality's U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 as it appeared in 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, 1982's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and 1984's Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) and the Abramsverse' Enterprise (the Enterprise introduced in 2009's Star Trek). As some of you may know, the 2009 movie Star Trek (which introduced the AbramsTrekverse) is indicated to split the official Star Trek Universe's timeline in two (consider the android Data's Quantum Reality discussion in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Parallels"), meaning that what goes on in one timeline will have no effect on the other. Now lets say the Abramsverse Enterprise was to travel to the Prime Reality or that the TMP Enterprise Enterprise was to enter the Abramsverse and both ships ended up competing against each other, here are some things to think about:

-Which ship's would prove to be stronger in tactical combat?
-Which ship could travel faster during warp speed?
-Which ship's crew would prove to be the mentally stronger when handling problematic situations during missions on a planet, including how to handle the situations in ways to reduce the risk of not only losing crewmembers in the process, but also violating Starfleet's Prime Directive?
