Actually, the flak is from specalized cannons we see in ROTS. At least, I think thats one of the people working on the film said. Unless the cannons in the film that we see are like a futuristic, space-bound version of the Flak 88.

[QUOTE=halo07guy;1474801]No, they collide because the magnetic fields of each prevent the other lightsaber's plasma from penetrating. I hope that makes sense. So you get a sensation of the beams being solid. There is also the possibility that the magnetic fields cancel each other out, which would explain why you see a bright flash every time they connect. That flash is the plasma that is released during the connection. Granted, its a very small amount of plasma, since only a small amount of the beam's are touching each other. This also explains why, during lightsaber duels, the duelist always try to force their blade onto the other's. Perhaps their trying to break through it?
I try to be as polite as possible online, but sometimes, when you see what someone says to another, you tend to get a very bad first impressions. I guess that your thing with Scott should not be considered representitive of your attitude towards anyone who decides to make an argument that might be against what you say. I am sorry if I offended you in any way, shape, or form.
And I found something out about SW shields. They can drop a part of the shield locally to let things in or out. So this kind of re-vitalizes my Alderaan particle shield thing.
I recently watched an episode of the newest ST series, and it showed a plasma storm that the Enterprise was trying to get around. The Enterprise was struck repeatedly by lighting like effects, making me question as to wheter the shields of that era of Enterprise ( There way too many damn ships in ST named Enterprise.) were resistant to plasma. IF the shields of Federation ships are resistant to plasma weapons, then there is a similarity between SW and ST shields. SW guns can bring down a ships shields given enough time, but are extreamly effective against the hull of the ship. That would explain the need for shield breaking weaponry such as Ion cannons. If ST plasma weapons do similar damage to SW ones, then we can get a good idea of how long certain ships would last against each other.
And I tend to refrain from statements that can be summed up as being " the explosion is small, so it must be weak" or " The explosion is big, so it must be powerful". Since we never see one of each sides ships in real-life you don't really have much of an idea about how big one is. The one exception to this is the N-1 Starfighter prop that LucasFilm donated to a museum in England. It like seeing holes in an A-10's body on TV and thinking " Hm, the holes are small so it what shot it was weak". I have seen an A-10 in real-life. They are huge planes( about as long and wide as a regular limo). What seems small on TV or in movies probably is much bigger then you think. I have seen a fully loaded space shuttle and the Saturn V rocket up close before. A corvette in SW is roughly about the 3/4 the length of the Saturn V rocket. And those things are easily about 60 stories tall. So think of a Saturn V rocket with the area forward of the part that it starts to slim cut off. That would be about the size of a corvette in SW.
Basically, a explosion on a small ship seems large because of the ships size. The opposite goes for large ships.Judging a weapon by its explosion on a ship is inaccurate of the weapons firepower. Even the canon lengths for each sides ships doesn't paint a very good image of their size.
I truly hope that I didn't offend anyone. I refrain from personal attacks unless someone makes one against me. And I try my best to prevent myself from accidently setting flame bait.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]This is your own conception of religion talking. A god in Trek only means that he is unrestricted by the same limitations that humanoids are (death, mechanations, time, spatial placement etc), and has become charged with duties of the cosmos - it does not mean they have worshippers. The Q have stated themselves to be the keepers of order in the universe, and John De Lancie's Q has actually been an abberant member (see ST VOY: Death Wish for some details).[/QUOTE]
Okay, that is not my concept of religon talking, but most of the worlds concept of religon. Just becuase you have a seperate one, means nothing. Actually from all descriptions of the Q they are simply a race that developed the ultimate technology, well as far as their brains could take them. They have explored the glalxy, but not beyond. Or else when the traveller did his stuff Q would have popped in amused they got that far. As for their claims, that is just their claims. Al Qeada claims to be doing the good works of Alllah.

[QUOTE]With respect to Guinan, we know not what her race's powers are. They may or may not match Q's in some regards...maybe they have the telepathic ability to cause Q pain, but not a machine? We know that the El-Aurians have a latent telepathic knack for regular humanoids, but why Q would [I]be cautious[/I] of Guinan is anyone's guess. We have also not seen the Jedi create something from nothing. This is an illogical task, merely fuelled by your own abrahamic religious encounters.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]You assume much. You assume it is [I]2000[/I] degree air. You don't know what metal the droid or the building were. It may have been 80 degree air. By your own argumentative standards, unless it is stated, you are assuming, (and I'd love to see how exactly you can visually see 2000 degree air - a numeric temperature value). And it is only impressive by [I]your[/I] standards. Personally, I think travelling to the Big Bang merely on a whim is WAY more impressive (STVOY: Death Wish).[/QUOTE]
Actually, we know the air was hot enough to warrant shielding. it melted heavy durasteel supports and cause ways much like a knife strough butter. So obviously it isn't 80, dumbass.
[QUOTE]I have given a litany of other feats that various Q have done, inclusive of standing in vacuum, on a ship moving at speeds that would tear apart biological beings by virtue of being struck by cosmic dust.[/QUOTE]
Yet being inside the protective navigation shielding that would thus protect them from such incidents.
[QUOTE]See [URL="http://www.starwars.com/databank/technology/hyperdrive/"]Star Wars Databank Hyperdrive[/URL]. It is a method of travelling thru an alternate dimension (i.e. past the dimensions of distance-[I]x[/I], distance-[I]y[/I], distance-[I]z[/I], and time). Provide canon that states that this is an "alternate reality". [/QUOTE]
Well you will not that in this hyperspace einsteingian relativity do not apply. Thus strong evidence for alternate reality
[QUOTE]Further, if you equate 'reality' to 'dimension' (eg 'perception' rather than 'livable universe'), [I]you[/I] cannot assume that they rip subspace. Subspace has not been used on Star Wars at any time.[/QUOTE]
No, but Hyperspace and Subspace share many things in common including the complete defiance of Einsteinian relativity. thus it is not unthinkable that SW ship would fair much better than ST ships.
[QUOTE]Like I said, Geordi said the Enterprise would not survive. Further, other Trek characters have said the same thing in similar situations with their own ship.[/QUOTE]
Yes, but untill we have proof od why we have nothing to go on. For all we know the Subspace rip could cuase a reaction in the warp drive tearing the ship apart. Until we know why they can't survive it is merely conjecture.
[QUOTE]Hold up...is this "visuals over dialogue" thing a loophole for you to assume stuff? Bear in mind that I was absent for a good half of this ridiculously long 309 page argument.[/QUOTE]
No, the visuals always trump dialog. People can and do make mistakes. And in this spirit it calls the 400 gigawatts a mistake.
[QUOTE]However, this strikes me as yet another contrived way to make Wars appear all powerful, since Turbolaser might actually mean just what it implies...a souped up laser cannon.[/QUOTE]
The problem is it does not act like one in any sense of the term. In fact even it's description has a plasam element.
[QUOTE]I also suggest that the extreme slowness of the pulses is a plot device, for drama. A particle weapon that gives a ship enough time to duck? Don't think so...[/QUOTE]
But for this argument Plot does not exist. This is suspension of disbelief. Everything we see is as we see it.
[QUOTE]I suggest that proof is in a combination of variables included in both dialogue and visuals. "Visuals only" [I]encourages[/I] conjecture, especially when plot devices are employed. Like the bazillion wattage you Warsies like to attain from a simple asteroid. This visuals thing only facilitates your own arguments where convenient.[/QUOTE]
But, SW never gives a single peice of dialog that counters the 12.5 gigatons of the ICS or the bare minimum 300 megatons of the asteroid vaporization. Proof is in combination of visual and dialog, however where the two conflict visuals reign supreme. Remeber humans are falliable as are even Androids, they can mispeak themselves.
[QUOTE=TW Scott;1474803]Ah, but the problems is everything in ST is superconductive.
However Gigahertz is not a measure of power, it's a frequency.Hertz means cycling one persecond. 92 gigahertz would be 92,000,000,000 times a second the shields flickers one/off. thus you could have one watt flowing at 92 gigahertz[/QUOTE]
Er... problem Scott- Space is not conductive on it's own. Eg, the shield is produced around the ship, not in contact with the hull. It's projecting thru, at the very least, a 50% resistor.
[QUOTE=TW Scott;1474812]First of all the majority of captial ships in SW are MUCH BIGGER than their ST counterparts. So of course the pyrotechnics look smaller in comparison. Second this can be explained as SW shields and hulls absorb much more of the energy before producing an explosive effect. FInally, the larger shield interation of ST ships just proves it takes more of the shield to repel the attack.
[COLOR="Red"]Absorbing more energy than you reflect is also a bad thing. This means something such as a concentrated phaser strike in rapid succession has a higher chance of overloading the shield generators.[/COLOR]
Aso for you noticing that the Turbolasers seem to have a flack setting, well then that disproves them being lasers, doesn't it?
[COLOR="Red"]I have said a couple things they could be and you keep arguing against them: Plasma Weapons, Laser Weapons, Particle Projection Weapons, ect[/COLOR]
Did you see me agree with them on that? Besides the point was brought up by ST fans about why damage appeared before the bolt hit. I personally don't agree, but hey delusions abound.
[COLOR="Red"]SD.Net is the one that said it- I haven't found a ST site that said as such o0'[/COLOR]
If you notice they only worry about large asteroids at high speed, and impacts with celestial bodies in hyperspace.
[COLOR="Red"]So why didn't the ISD pursue the falcon then?[/COLOR]
True that gives thrust, now imagine the energy needed to propell an SSD at 1000 km per hours.
[COLOR="Red"]The problem is, it's still just that: An Ion Drive. They can be countered.[/COLOR]
Star Wars also has Gravity drives which are used when high speed is not a requirement.
[COLOR="Red"]Gravity drives... what? 1) How would that work 2) Why are they never mentioned in the original triliogy?[/COLOR]
Listen, numbbuts, suspension of disbelief here. meaning as far as you are concerend there was no script and there was no special effects. However I will say what everyone else already knows. The finished movie is the product is the canon
[COLOR="Red"]Uh, no. Not at all... this is why you are crapping ALL over Lucas' vision. The finished movie is a PRODUCT OF ITS SUMS. Thus, Script = Canon. As the SCRIPT is the VERY FIRST THING ever made in the movie, the Script must be considered ultimate canon. [/COLOR]

Lucas wrote the script and helped in the making of the FX. Thus he is contradicting himself in the process...[/QUOTE]

Ah yes, but you feail to realize that kmost of resistance is the Atoms trying to keep hold of the electron. However the shields are obviously not electricity. There are an energy field not an electricity field. Resistance like you are thingking has no impact at all
I do notice that you did not adress the Hertz issue. Gigahertz is not indicative of power.
Hertz his indicative of frequency and frequency is a quantitive formulation of raw electric current and wattage. Ohms law and Kerchaphs law still apply in these equaions.

Actually, it is impossible to have plasma rivers. Plasma is extreamly super-heated gas. It is also lighter then air. Any plasma that does not have a magnetic field around it will float up to the sky. And if your in a building, and the plasmas hot enough, then it will float up to the ceiling, burn a hole through the ceiling, then float up into space. Plasma does not need a magnetic field in space for it to sustain its shape. I only hypothosize that the space weapons have a magnetic field around the plasma so that the weapons can fire through the shields. The magnetic field would act as a sabot round, but this time, instead of the sabot and round leaving the barrel, the magnetic field simply dissapates in space.

Other "plasmas" include, but are not limited to, Lightning, Fire, Solar Wind, and the sun. It can range from 0* Kelvin to over 10^8* Kelvin in terrestrial forms and 10^2 Kelvin (aurora) to 10^7* Kelvin naturally in space.

[QUOTE=Kittamaru;1474865]Hertz his indicative of frequency and frequency is a quantitive formulation of raw electric current and wattage. Ohms law and Kerchaphs law still apply in these equaions.[/QUOTE]
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz"]Hertz[/URL]: The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the SI unit of frequency. Its base unit is cycle/s or s-1 (also called inverse seconds, reciprocal seconds). In English, hertz is used as both singular and plural. As any SI unit, Hz can be prefixed; commonly used multiples are kHz (kilohertz, 103 Hz), MHz (megahertz, 106 Hz), GHz (gigahertz, 109 Hz) and THz (terahertz, 1012 Hz).
One hertz simply means one per second (typically that which is being counted is a complete cycle); 100 Hz means one hundred per second, and so on. The unit may be applied to any periodic event — for example, a clock might be said to tick at 1 Hz, or a human heart might be said to beat at 1.2 Hz. The frequencies of aperiodic events, such as radioactive decay, are expressed in becquerels.
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law"]Ohm's law[/URL] states that, in an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor from one terminal point on the conductor to another terminal point on the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference (i.e. voltage drop or voltage) across the two terminal points, and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor between the two terminal points. In mathematical terms, this is written as:
where I is the current, V is the potential difference, and R is a constant called the resistance. The potential difference is also known as the voltage drop, and is sometimes denoted by E or U instead of V. [1]
The SI unit of current is the ampere; that of potential difference is the volt; and that of resistance is the ohm, equal to one volt per ampere.
The law was named after the physicist Georg Ohm, who, in a treatise published in 1827, described measurements of applied voltage, and current passing through, simple electrical circuits containing various lengths of wire, and presented a slightly more complex equation than the above equation to explain his experimental results. The equation above could not exist until the ohm, a unit of resistance, was defined.

It could also simply be loosing it's charge around the areas it was solidifying at which would make sense for an energetic plasma.[/QUOTE]
Are you sure you wish to claim that? You do release that plasma is a highly ionized gas. Solidifying like that would not be possible. you are proving yourself quite inept at physics and chemistry.
[QUOTE][B]Becuase the alternate reality is close enough to ours that mass gravity shadows of certain gravitational pool appear to be in both dimensions....[/B]
Warp in Trek is only affected by gravity when VERY close.[/QUOTE]
Or very power, or slightly odd....
[QUOTE][B]Both Quantum Mechanics and String Hypothesis are far from being proven. Claiming subspace exists becuase of two hypothesis is low even for you.[/B]
Gravity is still a Theory according to the scientific method. Care to try to claim that gravity isn't real?[/QUOTE]
Gravity has had millenia to prove itself, but you are right it is just a theory. However Quantum mechanics and String hypothesis are not even to theory yet as they have not been tested.
[QUOTE]In fact, I will contest that solid matter is even solid. At the molecular level, it's all a bunch of electrons and protons flying around an atomic nucleus. It's not solid at all, just appears to be to our eyes. A good example of this is Glass- it's actually a liquid.[/QUOTE]
Actually Glass is a super cooled liquid. Only a liquid by strange technicalities.
[QUOTE][b]And how do we know this? No show has ever talked about the effect, only that it is attracted to warp cores and is dangerous to the ship. We are NEVER explicitly told why. So you are just assuming.[/b]
Because wherever on the ship it hits, the ship starts to disintegrate perhaps?[/QUOTE]
Well we have NEVER seen a ship hit by a tear.
[QUOTE][B]What you are telling me, people in ST NEVER are wrong? Sorry, but bullshit on that score Visuals trump Dialog if they disagree. [/B]
No, but generally if they are wrong they are contradicted by someone else, not just visuals.[/QUOTE]
Okay so you are saying that if the whole crew says ninety percent of an asteroid is vaporized when it is clearly evident that only 50% of it has been that the crew is somehow right? Bullshit.
[QUOTE][B]Yes, and you still fail to learn.[/B]
Mhm, the kettle and the pot and the black thing again mate, need I say it again?[/QUOTE]
Was it an insult or a statement of fact?
[QUOTE][B]You keep telling me it is proven wrong, yet provide no proof. No proof on your part means that 12.5 gigatons stands. As for the comment about Lucas' vision. The end product is his vision, the script was a guide along the way.[/B]
*sighs* the proof has been given time and again. You simply refuse to acknowledge it EVEN THOUGH you cannot disprove what is said. Why should I bother posting it yet AGAIN at your request? Provide some proof of what you are claiming for a change. [/QUOTE]
ICS claims 12.5 gigatons, nothing in the movie disputes this thus ICS is correct. There is my proof. Meanwhile you have not provided even a shred of proof.

The kind of plasma I was talking about is normal, human-made plasma. The other stuff is natural, but human-made acts differently. I thought that was the kind of plasma you were reffering to.
True, it isn't always hot, but most of the examples on wikipedia are extreamly hot. I'm pretty sure that man-made plasma is cooler then what you have out in space, but the plasma globe is still hot. Maybe not hot enough to melt the glass, but hot enough to heat the surface of the glass a bit. You can test this by positioning your hand so that it doesn't touch the glass, but still attracts the plasma towards it. After a while, if you touch the globe below where your hand or finger was, you will find theres a noticable change between the tempature there and the tempature else where on the globe.
True, plasma can be "cold", but we have yet to develop it. Cold when your talking about plasma can be considered a bit of a misnomer. It isn't really cold, but rather colder then most other plasmas. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Before that there was the Physicist Hertz who had a very simple procedure to determine frequency.
Its called sarcasm.....
Sorry
Its okay. Besides, I enjoy being compleatly random. For example, I will now say cheese.....
.......CHEESE!!!!!
