Who would win in a fight...wait for it...you guessed it! A Star Destroyer vs. the Enterprise!!!
I found some other obscure forum today (not nearly as good as Flare) and one of the topics was this. Don't ge tme wrong here I like Star Trek too. That must make me some kind of double traitor to both star wars and star trek or something.
What pisses me off the most about these Star Wars vs. Star Trek discussions is that #1: Star Trek is set in a future that could possibly exist (tho probably not cuz half the sh*t they're babbling about probably wouldn't exist even in the future)
#2 Star Wars is set A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away. Therefore there is no common basis for comparison.
#3 A couple of those loser/geeks in that other retard-forum talk about how star wars uses "Lasers" while Star Trek uses the more "advanced" "Phasers". Destructive energy is destructive energy. Being the humungous Star Wars geek that I am I know that lasers in star wars are more akin to particle weapons. The energy from the power cell is used to excite the particles of blaster gas (called Tibanna gas) which is then sent through a focusing crystal and down the barrel which has Galven circuitry that further focuses the bolt. The destructive energy is actually invisible and the bolt that we see is just a natural by-product of the reaction and can actually be eliminated to create an invisible blaster bolt. as for phasers, well I'm sure one of you trekkie's can describe it better than I do. But it seems to me just from my knowledge of both star wars and star trek that a phaser from the enterprise probably does about the same damage as a turbolaser from a Star Destroyer. the SD has an advantage cuz it has 60 of those. Also Star Destroyers are faster at FTL speeds. taking anly a few hours to a month or two to go from one end of the galaxy to another while Voyager would have taken seventy some years to get home from the delta quadrant. and the technology for FTL travel is different in both universes. also, scientists in Star Trek have only been designing starships for a few hundred years. while in star wars they've had over 20,000 years to develop thier technologies. those other wannabe geeks never thought if that.
Then again since the enterprise and a star destroyer don't exist in each others worlds, there is no precedent to make any assumptions about how a battle between the two would fare.
This topics probably been discussed at some point or another on this forum however i havn't seen it.
And I put this topic here since it had BOTH Wookies and Warp Drives i didn't feel like posting it in both forums.
There. I am now done ranting I'm sorry to have wasted your time, well, actually i'm not.

Do we sill have a rule against ship vs. ship discussions? I know there was one way back in the UP days, but is it still in effect?

Which would win in the "Rust-a-nail-in-a-soft-drink" battle? Coke or Pepsi?

I think Coke would dissolve the nail before it had a chance to rust.
Also... yeah. A Star Wars versus Star Trek thread. I'm pretty sure that there's no new ground to cover in this debate after almost thirty years. At least until Star Trek XI: The Future's Beginning or Star Wars: Episode 7: Fall of the Skywalker.

I don't even get it: The ship is sentient, but requires a pilot to do anything? But then this pilot is literally a part of the ship, so why isn't it Moya?
(And if we're talking slightly ((or more than slightly)) goofy living ships, Moya would be nothing more than a passing appetizer for the Lexx, once the crew of the latter had finished having sex with, failing to have sex with, and inadvertently murdering the crew of the former.)

How many times did Sisko put up his dukes? I can only remember the time he hit Q, but I havn't seen DS9 since it aired first time round.

Sisko was involved in his fair share of scuffles. Usually with Dukat or Eddington. But he would definately beat the snot out of someone if he had to.
