[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [QB] Back in the old days of sail, wooden ships rarely got sunk from enemy fire, what really sunk them, was the fire, the weather, or poor navigating. However with a ship with a lenght of 150-200 feet with 70 guns will do far better than 70 ships with 1 gun. Because back then, ships were designed to withstand their own weapons, and there still was no iron. Not only that, those 1 gun ships will most likely either be propeled by oar or by small sail. IMO, Pre-TOS was like that, due to the slow warp, weak weapons, no shields, very little comunication etc. Thats what Star Trek is like, and not only that most ships have very good aim. Star Wars, none of the ships could seriously shoot down fighters unless they were either lucky or experienced. In either case, thats why fighters in Star Wars can defeat a larger ship. Star Trek fighters as seen in DS9 can destroy or seriously damage ships but with a very large causlity rate. Only used to brings ships out from the main fleet where the opposing fleet can corner those seperated ships and easily destroy them. For Pre-TOS I propose a U-Boat type fighter. A small ship equipped with massive torpedoes going in really fast perhaps near warp speed towards a ship fire the torps, and run away. Lasers will not work, becuase you would need alot of fighters (I doubt a smaller ship like a fighter will near the power of a battleship) to even damage a ship, let alone muliple sips. [/QB][/QUOTE]
