I have a way to settle this argument once and for all:

The Empire would kick the Federation's ass because the Empire and it's technology are so grossly and stupidly overpowered that it doesn't even bear thinking about.

Multi-gigaton blasts from a ****ing laser (which can fire about 5 times a second) is absolutely and completely goddamn preposterous.

Also: Jehovah would wipe the goddamn floor with Buddah.

Jehovah = All-powerful, creator of the universe, person-to-pillar-of-salt, God of all mankind.

Buddah = Fat, bald, pacifist.

Actually I think they'd both just sit there and drink tea while chatting about what they're gonna do with the weather.

A comparison I'd rather see is with the Star Fighters!
That said, you almost never see fighter craft in 'Trek so smeg knows if they're any good!

Sci-fi ubergeeks make me weep for the species. Like the thread at Spacebattles debating on whether Alderaan had a shield or not from still captures of it being blown up. It was several pages in length!!

It makes me sad. So very very sad.

[NGTM-1R]

The shield generator doesn't really blow up...it kinda falls over.

[an0n]

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that regardless of how many Gigawatts every laser blast from an ISD puts out, or how many Photon torpedoes a Sovereign class starship can handle - the plexiglass windshield of Starbug would be little protection.

Both Star Trek + Star Wars figures are a bunch of baloney anyway.  What they talk about and write about is bull**** compared to what we see on the screen.

A more interesting Versus:

Shadows versus Shivans


bwahahahaha

This is why Charles Sheffield has two definitions for futuristic fiction in his book "Borderlands of Science". Science Fiction and Science Fantasy.

Science Fiction has of grounded basis in reality and current theory where as Science Fantasy consists of a futuristic setting and plenty of technobabble that means nothing.

oh, what have I unleashed?  Please forgive me..........

[an0n]

Honorverse = Science Fiction

Silent Running = Science Fantasy.

I always considered SciFi to be inventing an advanced world characters could interact with. While SciFantasy was basically about getting the point across. Y'know, Outer Limits kinda stuff.

hmmmm... possibly not enough to have a gravitic effect as such then, but still, not a small object to have blow up in orbit

The Death Star(s) probably would have less mass than a real moon too given its material composition and overall structure (more hollow spaces).  

That site should do Gungans vs. Ewoks.  Or 3PO Protocol Droids vs. Tribbles.

Picard vs. Kirk!

....oh, wait...

Eh

Did you not watch the Dominion War? Entire squadrons kick Cardassian and Dominion ass in Sacrifice of Angels. The single greatest battle in ST

I mean, "Galaxy wing 9-1 and 9-2 " says a whole lot. Hundreds of ships, wings of fighters all flying across your screen. Beams and torpedoes flying in all direction, ships burning and exploding.

[Rol]

they are wrong
lasers no matter how strong dosen´t penetrate the navigation shields of federation ships
the ships are immune against this form of energy
and federation can destroy a planet with a single shot using a soliton wave

or think SW vs the borg the battle lasts 1 minute than the borg adapt ---> goodby SW

in the ST universe are much more powerfull techs like tricobalt torpedos , gravimetrical charges , subspace warheads , cloaking , subspace weapons

and transwarp is much faster than SW travel

ahhhh I must get back the real world  

[Ghostavo]

So what remains is stupidly powerful weapons vs stupidly powerful shielding and armor... interesting...
