Star Trek or Star Wars?

I love the military feel and look of Star Wars. I love the way the Star Wars universe is set up, but I just love the Star Trek ships and weapons more. Sorry.

How about star wars meets star trek - the deathstar up against the borg sphere ship ? Or the earth allaince on one point- up against the federation up against the dark side led by darth vader.

Somebody posted a link to a piece of fanfic on what would happen if Star Wars met Star Trek. I for one had always assumed that Star Trek would beat Star Wars (after all, phasers will disintegrate you, bLasters just cauterize you), but this story changed my mind.

I would wager a million credits that the Enterprise E would waste the Avenger in a head to head battle.

Enterprise E has shields, torpedos, and phasers.

The Avenger has turbo lasers, and fighters.

As we all know a single federation phaser array can target and destroy multiple smaller objects.

Additionally, the Enterpise E has war drive which is mainy times faster than hyper space drive which the Avenger sports.

Manuaverability. Enterprise hands down.

This debate when on for years. First it was with the Enterprise A, then D, and now E. I recall a site where they programed the varables into a program and simulated what would happen. The Enterprise D obliterated the Star Destroyer.

And to boot, the people who set this up were star wars fans and they did not want to report what happened but eventually did.

Then someone took it a step further and made a 3d mock battle. (3d Artist forum and support site).

Again the Star Destroyer was beaten.

Come to think of it, they did it all, B5 vs SW vs ST vs BSG all in one huge mutli - scifi space battle. Very cool.

Yeah, some of the Star Wars technology isn't very advanced compared to the Star Trek technology. For example, the Star Wars holograms are all bluish and flickery. The Star Trek holograms are so realistic that they look just like the real thing. There's all sorts of technology in Star Trek like transporters, holodecks, replicators, tricorders and so on that are ahead of Star Wars...

Star Wars. No contest. Jedi, Lightsabers, Yoda and the number 1 ranking bad father 3 years running, Darth Vader.

Besides, I belive that Wesley is way more annoying than Jar Jar.

I have to go Star Trek. (not including Enterprise) I like how it shows humans striving to overcome their ingrained imperfections and bring peace to the quadrant. Of course, Star Wars aliens are cooler.
