Flying Beastie Posted June 23, 2000 Share Posted June 23, 2000 Rebel SpecForces used to refer to Star Destroyers as: 72'000 design flaws waiting to be exploited. Note the shield generators riding on the outer hull. Note the Bridge hanging off the front of the superstructure. Note the hangars that are only kept pressurized by a forcefield. Besides, the Enterprise is fast enough at sublight to out-run and out-manoeuvre an ISD. ------------------ What doesn't kill me only makes me stranger.

Nute Gunray Posted June 23, 2000 Share Posted June 23, 2000 Are you sure? It takes them hours get around inside a star system..."The Borg are coming from the far side of the planet! They'll be here in SEVEN HOURS!!!" Look at the distance the Rebel Fleet covers at the Battle of Endor! A three day trip on current Earth Tech in a few minutes! ------------------ Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say... no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh... depended on the breaks. redstormvfa87@icqmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmillheiser Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 ok first problem i see here is on that chart. the executor was only about 9000 meters if i remember correctly. the eclipse was closer to 18000 meters. i think the eclipse was twice the length and 5 times the mass of the SSD. oh and the dominion drednaught was 4800 meters long and has 150 poleron beam banks. more guns than the SSD. The ST ships are a HELL of a lot faster both at superluminal and subluminal speeds. warp 2 is 10 times the speed of light. .5 past light speed is only twice the speed of light. ST weapons are also much more powerful. If you remember back to the early days of ST they were replacing lasers with phasers and disrtuptors. And remember they dont have antimatter reactors in SW they only have fusion. A ST ship can generate in the Terawatt range with its reactor. Only the Death star could generate such power in SW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Don't make me launch off into the whole thing about how they got the Executor's length wrong...it IS 17.6k. ------------------ Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed.

Guest Kurgan Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 OK, now let's bring in the sun crusher, add some yuuzhan vong warships, and THEN let's ee what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marril Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Kurgan: yeah, but the Sun Crusher, if you remember, was nearly roasted by the prototype DS's superlaser. Also, look at the distances before you judge the speed. And if the Feds went up to war vs. the NR or the Vong, there's a heck of a lot of more planets in either than the Federation. Not to start a SW/ST who's better war or anything... ------------------ Why is it that whenever someone says SOL I am always in trouble... whether it be Standards of Learning or (the other version).

Um, no it isn't. SW ships are faster in hyperspace than Starfleet ships. ".5" (x0.5) is the Falcon's modifier; meaning that it can make a six-day(according to Standard Galactic Distance ratings) trip in 3 days (6 x 0.5 = 3). Military ships in SW are rated with a x1 modifier, meaning that a six-day trip takes 6 days. The original hyperdrive for a YT-1300 is x2 (typical for civillian craft), meaning that it'd take 12 days (6 x 2 = 12) on that trip. Hyperspace is more like transwarp than warp; only the Borg could keep up with the Falcon when she's on full-burn. But, Starfleet craft (in general, mind) are faster at sublight than their SW conterparts. ------------------ What doesn't kill me only makes me stranger.

Nob Akimoto Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 I already closed one thread....you want me to go two for two? hmm? Keep the thread ON topic. That means shut up about the "who is better" bull**** alright? You've been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 I wasn't saying either is better; I was just pointing out that the advantages that SW ships have are different than the advantages that ST ships have. I didn't mean to be offensive. I'd like a ST TC, but I have absolutely no XWA editing talent to contribute. I'd (as you can see) be happy to help with stats and craft comparison. ------------------ What doesn't kill me only makes me stranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
