Default Re: OT - How would sc-fi ships do in battle against each other?

which sci-fi universe do those come from?

ok, as much as i like trek, i'd have to say that, realistically, the death star would crush the enterprise. the only thing the enterprise has on it's side is a franchise and technobabble. which would allow the enterprise to crush the death star.

how about we run down the list from biggest to smallest.

i say a David Weber planetiod would win >any< battle. as someone else said, gravatonic warheads which can blow a >planet< apart, antimatter warheads, massive energy weapons which cause any material they encounter to instantly fission, crew of up to 250000! so those death-star storm-troopers can board any time and get blown up by troops in REAL powered armor, grav guns, hyper-ray guns which make things disapear, plasma guns, plasma grenades, hyper grenades, not to mention fifth emperium light, meduim and heavy tanks and any one of those >light< tanks could probably take on the whole military of today's earth and win! and this isn't counting their parasite warships, one of which did battle with an entire system defence system! admitadly, it was civilian built, cobbled together and was designed to keep out plague ships, but still!

I'm willing to concede that it needent be Dahak, so the other ship/base/whatever wouldn't have to face a fully >senteint< warship.

anybody care to counter that?

did i mention multi-dimensional shields, computer fold-space communicater uplinks in the crew's brains and that it can achieve 70% of light speed, about 800 times light-speed under E-drive(don't ask me to spell it) and several thousand under hyper-drive? and that it's E-drive, which relies on converging black holes, can cause a minuture super-nove if their near a sun? or the cloaking system? admittadly, once they get within a few light-minutes of another >planatiod< they can be detected, but a borg cube, death star or ID4 mothership would be bLasted apart before they could even get close enough to see it, much less fire at it, since the missile's have a range of what? 17 light-minutes?
