Yes, I doubt poor Adama would even know he was under attack before it got him. Their dradis might not even detect Andromeda through her passive stealth measures.
You could probably take every ship in the BSG show from both sides, stick them in a massive fleet together and the Andromeda would still kill them all in a matter of minutes.
I'm serious, it really is that superior.
It could probably do something not to dissimilar to a stargate fleet. Some of the gate ships have weapons that could potentially damage it but they'll never ever hit it with those slow moving blobs they fire, not a chance in hell.
To Andromeda point blank knife fight range is considered to be 4 light seconds, the range where it's AP canons are useful. Normal combat ranges are typically light minutes. Nothing in gate or BSG can even come close to touching that.

What do you think?

Star Wars is basically in the same boat as Stargate. They have weapons that could likely harm the Andromeda but they have the same problem of actually managing to hit it with any of them.
To effectively engage Rommie here you need one of two things. Weapons that travel faster than light in some manner, or homing weapons like missiles. if you do go missiles they also had better be fast, and very hard to shoot down, because the majority of Andromeda's defences are designed around a missile swarm attack.
Dumbfire "beam" type weapons like those used by most sci-fi series, even lightspeed beams like true lasers are considered short range (4 lightseconds) weapons only in Andromeda verse. This is because after more than 4 seconds of flight time the odds of the ship you're shooting at actually being where you predicted it would be 4 seconds ago when you fired start to get pretty slim. Obviously this effective range would vary depending on how small fast and manuverable the thing you were shooting at actually was. I don't think Androemda could nail its own fighters at 4 lightseconds for example but by the same token it could probably nail something like Galactica or a Wraith hive from ten times that distance with dumbfire weapons.

With a name like mine do I really have to say that I concur whole-heartedly?
I thoroughly enjoyed the show for 2 and a half seasons, and in hindsight it had a lot to do with the ship(s).sigpic

Okay, this is probably as one-sided as pitting the Daedalus against the Lexx.
That being said, the post-Unending Odyssey might stand a better chance, although it's hard to say what the odds are that it'll win.
And with regards to Star Wars vessels, you should see the official specs for their ships, they're absolutely ridiculous. Based on official calculations alone, someone once noted that even something like Boba's Slave-1 would probably be able to destroy a Sovereign-class Federation cruiser without much effort.

andromeda vs daedelus
the daedelus will win, the rail guns on blanc point range will tare the andromeda to pieces.
The AP guns and the PDL will have no efct on the daedelus shields and the andromeda cant jus its missiles at blanc point range and nukes have a ill effect in space and on shield ships.
And for the Odyssey with its new weapons the fight will be over before it begins.sorry cant spell

You lose.

If Andromeda can really blow up a sun, and lure the Daedy into it I'm pretty sure the shields wouldn't help.
Spoiler:In Unending we saw that a Planet's explosion took down 2 Ori Cruisers, even if the Upgraded Asgard shields are stronger than Ori shields, they aren't by much. And I'm sure a Solar/Coronal explosion would pack a lot more punch than a planetary one.
I've only seen bits of a few Andromeda eps, so I have no idea, but IMO the Upgraded Odyssey is among the strongest SciFi Earth ships out there, probably THE strongest "Earth 2007" ship by far. The only known stronger ship in SG IMO is the Aurora-class (well if you count Atlantis...).sigpic"Most of our John Sheppard impressions sound more like a demented Jimmy Stewart than Joe Flanigan."

As for the Star Trek torps, yes they are warp capable, but ONLY if they are fired while the launching ship is travelling at warp speeds. they don't carry their own internal warp drive. they have some kinda sustainer that keeps them moving at warp speeds, for a time. if fired at sublight speeds, they do not have the capacity to ramp up to warp speeds on their own.That's the plan?!? That's the plan. That plan sucks!
