Star Trek or Star Wars?

[EvilGenius4ABetterTomorro]

I went with the one with the Space Lesbians; STAR TREK! Dabo girls, STAR TREK!
What does Star Wars have? Jizz Wailers? what the heck is that? The great pit of Sarnacc? Oooh fun!
The Jedi Knights? Star Trek has the Q Continuum, and varioius embodied and disembodied pissed off god like ancient entities.
As for ships, The Star Wars ships look like Sanford & Son forgot to scrap them. Star Trek ships are licked clean by green Orion Slave Girls.

WOW! Those are some odd mental pictures .

To be fair any starship can render a world uninhabitable. For referece the rock that took out the dinosaurs generated about 5 x 10^23 Joules (100 million megatons) of energy when it hit; detonating all the nuclear warheads on Earth would give you less than a million.

For example a ship just 300 feet long, moving at ten percent of the speed of light generates an order of magnitude more energy than that impact. If you get up to the speed of light and -then- hit you're talking about 450 million megatons of force.

Assuming your engines can't get you to speeds that high in normal space, things aren't much better. A Super Star Destroyer is quoted at having a length somewhere around 8000m. Ramming a planet at normal orbital speeds with something that big generates around a million megatons. Your only defense against a really desperate opponent is to have enough planetary defenses to totally destroy the ship before it hits.

Somehow the Star Trek ships look more 'high-tech', more sleek and elegant. The Star Wars ships are really powerful, but they have a heavier, bulky, conventional-technology look to them, as if they just took present-day rocket engines, armor and equipment and scaled them up thousands of times to make a star ship.

Linky?

Dahak could blow up starfleet, the klingon and romulon fleets, the borg, speciecs whatever, the entire empire and rebel fleet, including both death stars and polish of all the bab5 races, including the ancients - all at the same time.

But Star Trek is my favorite.

What I like about Star Wars is the universe itself. We know that the history of the galaxy that they live in is several thousands of years old. They have colonized the entire galaxy and have a huge society. Star Trek is not as indepth as Star Wars and Star Wars easily has the history over Star Trek.

To explore the history of the Star Wars universe would be a awsome journey compared to that of Star Trek or even Babylon 5.

Although I love the ships and characters of Star Wars, I love the look and design of Star Trek ships more. Never the less they are so close in score that if I had but a micro second to choose I might be sporting a lightsaber and rulling the Galaxy with an iron fist. (Literally)

What Atrocities said. I grew up as a Trekkie (yes, I use that phrase. I'm first generation, baby!), so I was a ST fan thru & thru. Then Star Wars came out, and changed that. Not overnight, of course, as I can watch hundreds of hours of ST, but only 10 (soon to be 12) hours of SW, not counting the various cartoons. But the scope of SW is so much more than ST, and the history is so much more than ST, which can only claim to be about 300 years, as compared to at least 4000 years during the Sith War period, and approximately 20,000 for when the Old Republic was conceived. As far as the ships, I loved the old Enterprise, but I'd kill for a ride on the Millenium Falcon. And another thing I love about the SW universe is that, with Lucas's approval, everything in print is included in the continuity of the SW universe, unless Lucas changes it in a movie. Paramount's position is that if you see it in a movie or series, it's canon; if you don't see it, it didn't happen. So give me Star Wars anytime.
