With a Borg cube being 64,000, DS9 being 12,000 and the Regency One taking damage from the Defiant, might that suggest tens of thousands but less than 64k?

Again, I don't think you can scale up ability directly with size a/o mass. Shield generators might be concurretnly stronger, but have MUCH more area to cover per generator; weaponry would be limited by the ability to handle power throughput, rather than just by capacity of emitters, etc. It would even be probable that power generation follows a decelerating curve compared with warp core size.
Captain Seafort wrote:I don't see how such a size discrepancy can be overcome with a cloak. Particularly a cloak that renders the ship visible to the naked eye while dropping out of warp, and was hit repeatedly during the battle, even before Troi's telepathic stuff.
That part I agree with wholeheartedly. I would guess at an overall strength of about 1/3 of Seafort's postulate. Of course, this doesn't take into account any unquantifiable factors, such as the difficulty we saw the Regency One have with targeting a small, close-in bogey - such as the Defiant was - or lack of ability to evade close-in fire.

so anywhere between 7,000 and 156,00 seems reasonable? :D
30,000 will do, then!

Beam Firepower : 410,000
Torpedo Firepower : 96,000
Weapon Range and Accuracy : 1,260
Shield Strength : 80,000
Hull Armour : 30000
Speed : 900
Combat Manoeuvrability : 150

Total : 156,000
30,000 hull armor??????

This thing has armor 30x thicker than a Galaxy? Thats just insane. Mayve knock that figure up to 1500.

And while I agree the weapons would be high just not quite that high. And since it is so big it couldnt bring to bear anymore than 30% of those weapons at anyone time if even that number.

True. Another one of those things that aren't really quantifiable, but have a definite effect on the abilities of the ship. Of course, IMO the beast was designed for intimidation and attack on fixed installations, not ship-to-ship combat.

True just seeing it would be enough to scare all but the most determined attack.
