Well, if you want a method of treating such a thing, you might try looking
in the (absolutely awesome) role-playing game Space Opera.  One night, my
roommate and I were trying to figure out how a craft like the Enterprise would
be rated in Space Opera terms...we figure that it's only about 1/3 to 1/2 of
the way down the ship size list (going strictly by the crew complement).

One BattleStar (from Space Opera) would have no trouble carving up the
Enterprise.  On the other hand, the Battlestar Galactica might have a great
deal of trouble with the Enterprise, because as I remember the Battlestar
Atlantia was entirely blown apart by a single heavy cannonade from a fighter
in the right place.  I'm sure the Enterprise could do MUCH nastier things.
