mwahaha.
I've alrady seen that thread in that same forum, methinks

.
Not gonna read it all, but I'm sure I can guess what in there, so:
mmh... first would be, then, the bosh vs thrawn thing. regardless the thing that thrawn would win just coz he has way more ships ( others will reply that Bosh, ok, let's extend to the whole GTVA to be fair, has alpha1 ), that would lead to... mmh... colossus VS ISD. that would lead to beams cut throuhg shields. blablabla, people will argue that SW shields aren't FS shields and so beams would be useless, but as this argument can't be backed up by anything, someone will throw the SSD in to replace the ISD. which will lead to the insane powers of SW lasers. ah, since it's about the SSD, there's about 99% chances the thread has gone about how large the SSD really is ( about 18 km long, the rpg book is wrong, measurements from the movie gives it between 16.2 and 18.1 kms long. people will claim that the official size is, I think, 12.4 kms long -I didn't learn all those things, I've just seen that discussion so many times it's probably not even healthy. To that I'll anwser that when tESB first aired, Lucas Film gave away flyers, one of them being about the SSD, stating it was 18km longs. If that's not official, I dunno what is ).
So, I was talking about the lasers strengh, sorry for that SSD size digression. Mmh, another discussion I've had often, with Killmenow mainly ( a SW freak, if not THE SW freak

). argument will start with the fact that a sole ISD could beat up the colossus to pulp. other side will reply that yeah, of course, according to fluff, a single SSD salvo should be enough to destroy a planet anyway ( who needs a death star? ). SW side will reply that no, of course, since it's lasers, they just work on a small area. otehrs will reply that in that case the impact is not what would really deal the damage, but the fact it would vaporize the atmosphere during the shot entry, causing effects similar to a nuke. the SW size, not knowing what to reply, will say that the other guy is a physics phreak that has can prove nothing, and will just mock him up, since he has no real argument to offer to counter that. etc etc etc, then, eventually, Shrike will show up and say that it doesn't matter, since the culture ships will own everybody and the others too, coz they can.
I wonder how close I am about this thread, but I won't bother checking, actually. HAH, I hadmy share of fun for today
