*** PHASER THIS LINE WITH YOUR COMPLIMENTS ***

Well first the Galactica/Atlantis/Pegasus/etc. would have to catch the
Enterprise.  And since the Battlestars have a top speed much less than
warp 6, they'd never catch it.

But assuming the Enterprise wants the battle, I'd have no opinion.
The ST Universe doesn't mention things like fighter defense, etc. and
there's no telling how the E's shields would stand up to the Viper's
beams.  On the other foot, though, a couple of photon torpedoes should
make hash out of any Battlestar.
