Star Wars vs Star Trek

In an hour the Galactica could pummel the glassing ship with nukes.

Can it do it on the same magnitude? I mean, low megatons and shit... ignoring that and you have to remember, NRF will not work against the Halo ships.

Shields are shields. What wouldn't let a ship in wouldn't let a fighter in. Secondly, where in the movie does it state it has shields?

I can't remember the episode, but Gul Dukat wanted to use the Defiant to pretty much volcanize the surface of a class M planet. He stated that he had time to do it before an approaching fleet arrived, yet said fleet was stated to be 15 minutes away. Thus, the Defiant can slag the surface of a planet within 15 minutes.

And Dukat would know plenty about the capabilities of the Defiant, as he's served on it (and even as a bridge officer on it) plenty of times. Not to mention Sisko didn't argue against the fact that the ship could do it, but rather the reason behind doing it.

I forget the episode, like I said - I'll try to find it.

 

The same ones firing 10 teraton projectiles BIGGER than nukes? Fuck, the shields could regenerate faster than all the BSGs combined firing at them.

 

I fail to see how the mentioning of weapon strength has anything to do with shield strength.

 

Shields that can't protect against projectiles. They are designed to take turbo hits, and then when a starship flies into it, the defenses will blow it to kingdom come and back.

 

It takes FOUR TERATONS from projectiles STRONGER THAN NUKES to DESTROY A COVENANT SHIP.

 

Dude, wtf... are you really asking that?

It can volcanize the entire crust of a planet... on it's own. As in, the crust turns to liquid. All of it. You don't need high-giga or teraton firepower to do that... hence why the BDZ isn't proof of an SD's ability to fire such insane levels of power. If anything, the fact that continent sized CHUNKS of the planet aren't blown clear of the planet proves that they ARE NOT firing such levels of power.

 

If a shield protects against piece of planet, how does it not let in a ship with less structural integrity?

 

Then those shields would NOT block a planetary chunk... as that chunk would be far more similar to a SHIP than a bolt of Energy...

Thus, the DS has no shields to protect against a planetary mass coming at it at a fraction of c, and if such a chunk were to hit it, it's lights out death star.

 

So phaser crap? I see. Explain how those will damage a ship with shields superior to anything the Federation has ever fought.

 

Thank you! Tell me other people can see the flaws in this Ricrery guys logic!

 

Neutronium. It's so thick in comparison to normal ship's width, that a projectile hitting it would be no use.

 

Explain to me why you give so much credit to the shields in SW... they obviously aren't that powerful as weapons that do less than the Defiant to a planet can take down their shields... something is amiss here.

 

Sorry, but SW Neutronium =/= ST (and thus, Real Life) Neutronium.

Proof:

Pretty simple... even you should be able to see the obvious here...

 

A normal ISD can turn a planet to slag, with everything burning in molten fire in under 15 minutes. BUT, it uses DET which is something you need to beat SW ships.

 

I DIDN'T SAY THAT. I said that it's too thick for any chunk to damage it.

 

You're welcome.
