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

would a galaxy class beat a star destoyer? would a star destroyer beat a david weber SD(P)?

any and all sci-fi ships welcome. please be aware, though, that there really isn't much point in bringing, say, a fully completed death star into it, since we all know they fall like flies to fighter's and corvettes but blow up everything else. unless you bring in a DW planatiod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

this is an invitation to discussion, not a retry at my battle thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I think Voyager would kick everyones butts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif That ship was destroyed so many times but managed to come back its not even funny. They began the journey with like 300 crew total and throughout the 7 year running they lost more then that in red shirts alone and they still had like 200 or so alive when they made it back to earth! Then to single handily beat the Borg, 8472, Kazon, etc, etc. That ship was unstoppable!

It's because of their secret weapon, the infamous and unstoppable Plot Device, capable of dramatically altering all of the very laws of the universe in unbelievable ways.

true, true. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

but, going by it's specs and there stated purposes, a half-blown up defiant should be able to blow up voyager. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

admittadly, i know very little about there specs.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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).
