Imagine how cool a fight would look like with Voyager, Enterprise 1701-E and Defiant pounding on some Dominion fleet/Borg ship/whatever(no Prophets/Voyager future technology and other uber-munchkin cheese gadgets)!

They did have the Defiant, and the Enterprise (was it E or F at that point?) (as well as Admiral Janeway's ship) fighting off the Borg in First Contact, quite impressive, although the Defiant was downplayed, and I was rather annoyed that they let it get trashed.
I still look back at the Pickard manuever and smile (warp jumping in the middle of a battle for a split second to create a "ghost" ship long enough to blow up your enemy.
oh, slightly off topic, but season 1 of the Original series will be released on DVD at the end of August, and seasons 2 and 3 by X-mas, so if you want to see where Trek came from, get them (or rent them and spend a few days devouring them). (or you could watch the movies, Wrath of Khan is undeniably the best, with 3, and 4 Search for Spock, and Journey Home respectively being the next best ones)
