Re: OT - How would sc-fi ships do in battle against each other?
Here's a good fan fiction take on the idea of a Federation versus Empire war.

It's long, but it's a good read.

Re: OT - How would sc-fi ships do in battle against each other?
Well, on the high end of the scale a DW planetoid would make mince meat of the Death Star; its shields are designed to resist the gravitronic missiles it fires, which are fully capable of destroying planets. And its energy weapons are nastier than that..
Lower down I'd say a SD(P) would kill a Star Destroyer, though I don't know enough about em to say if a regular SD could do the job or not. SD(P)s are just so much overkill its not likely the Star Destroyer would ever get in range.

Re: OT - How would sc-fi ships do in battle against each other?
Over the years, I've played a what-if in my mind as far as a star destroyer and any one of the Enterprises. First of all, the Enterprise could outrun anything in the Star Wars universe. A star destroyer and the Millenium Falcon might get up to light speed, but we all know that any ship from the Star Trek universe could go to warp 9.99, which is 9.99 the speed of light cubed. NOw, a star destroyer would definitly have more firepower. Hell, the things basically a huge weapons platform with engines. But would those weapons breech the Enterprise's shields? I'm not sure. I read something a long time ago that the star destroyer's weapons are lasers, which would have no effect on the Enterprise's shields. But would enough of those lasers effect those shields? I'm not up on the specs of the two ships. But it's a battle I'd love to see.

Re: OT - How would sc-fi ships do in battle against each other?
as i understand it, the reason a ST laser wouldn't penatrate enterprise's sheilds is because there to weak. however, aren't SW lasers more powerfull?

Re: OT - How would sc-fi ships do in battle against each other?
SW laser weapons have huge amounts of energy behind them. ST shields would not stop them very effectively. The Enterprise was only immune to some lasers used by races with small ships. Their lasers were very low power (in comparison to what SW ships use, at least).

One on one the Borg cube kills them all.
but then we would end up with something like Darth Borg. Now that I think about it, the SW guys were well on the way to being borg
