    I honestly do not see what the big deal about the death star super laser is. It's just a big ass laser, no fancy tech, no nothing. Just a really scaled up laser. Sure it might destroy a borg a cube, and obliterate the enterprise, but after the first shot, couldnt they just move to the back of the death star and avoid the laser? the thing moves so massively slow.

    P.S. typically speaking the baffles of any large vehicle typically water vehicle is the blind spot directly behind the vehicle where the engines are and a cone behind the engine that blocks out sensors. It can refer to the back side of any sort of ship of star ship.

    Well the point to the DS is the main weapon can obliterate a planet one shot deal. How long would the Federation survive and a cohesive unit with such a superweapon around. After the first planet was turned into an asteroid cloud other planets would be defecting like mad. How would you defend a world against such a device. You have no clue it is coming untill it arrives then you got about a second before the planet is rubble. Just the existance of ths weapon would cuase planets to defect.

    Actually there are several reasons this worked and you'll kick yourself when you realize them,

    Sensor Baffles: Absorb sensor frequencies. Think like blackball anti radar paint. Now on a scale of all em frequencies,

    Second the vessels would roughly 5 to ten kilometers apart and the Falcon was the same shade of white as the ships. Can you tell a golf ball is sitting in font of a paper plate from 50 yards with just your naked eye.

    Third all sensors were concentrating on the asteroid field, they weren't scanning each other.

    Negative gravity is still detectable and phased object still react to it. So it is still an issue.

    As for the phased ship hiding inside the target vessel, unlikely as when Roe and Geordi were phased they could not fall through the floor but could through the walls. Since this was a direct result of a identical device to the one the Pheonix had he have to to assume that a cloaked vessel will have similia restriction when it comes to grav/antigrav plates. Besides what could a phased vessel do from inside a another vessel? Or from inside the moon?

    In my opinion the Falcon wasn't really jamming because indeed they would have noticed that. I think it uses the same device that The Slave1 has, making it invisible to sensors (like a steath bomber) . Maybe (and this is just speculation on my part so don't quote me) it is a type of shield don't forget that Vader could not even sence it was there.

    Don't you find it disturbing that after a few wellplaced shots your vessel is taken out ?

    The Q

    In answer to someone's question about who would win, ST or SW, against ... ,s/he said Q. S/he is right, but is Q on "our" (ST)s side?

    i disagree on this one. it is not because you cant fight in hyperspace you power those systems down.
    Don't forget they use gravitywellprojectors to get ships down from hyperspace. if you are commander of a battleship, you bare that in mind, so you are prepared.
    second, did you hear General Ackbar ordering 'shields up, weapons up' when they dropped out of hyperspace????
    These are all battleships so it would be logical that they are fully operational all the time.

    the problem with Q is they wouldn't give a shit about what happend or who wins. they would sit in there longshare sipping martini's and enjoying the fight like we all love a great action movie.

    the ds is ftl dude, it travelled farther in an hour the ST does in a year.
    and don't forget they always can build several more.
    Now that would be nice wouldn't it. Taking out al important races their homeplanet is a few minutes. except those who still deepdown have a grudge for the ufp. they would be joining fast.

    Hyperspace is a other dimension. even a tiny x-wing can hyperjump .

    Actually the Falcon is not white. Star Destroyers are white.
    But you are correct interphase would still be effected by gravity.

    After the first planet was turned into an asteroid cloud (if the DS could even survive long enough to attempt to pierce Earths planetary defenses and shield) that would be the point the Future Federation goes back about a year and a half and blows the Death Star 3 to hell before it's finished
