mars13:
what about the terrorists using the transdimensional transport?
Can you give us the episode title for this? I want to investigate this matter fully. Moreover, if ti is so good of a tactic, why doesn't the Fed use it? Or the Cardasians? Or the Klingons?
what about the dozen times picard has been beamed off the bridge by an enemy?
Shields down or not active.
what about the time when picard beamed a few romulans on board and disabled their weapons with the transporter?
That's fine. But they were not beamed on board from a protected ship.
the fact is they use transporters as often as they are written to.
The writers determine what is feasible in the universe. Since the writers obviously don't use this tactic often enough to suggest Federation employs it, nor that it is really workable, we must conclude that the Fed can't use it.
and yes,transporters work at ftl speeds,itrs dangerous,but it works.and if your just beaming a torp onto someones ship you dont realy need to be accurate.and since sw has zero ability to stop borg transport,or transdimensional transport,or a few other kinds of transport,sw is fucked.they cant even counter but one kind of transport with shields any way,but there are several types of transporters.
You give no consideration to the strength of SW shields and electronic warfare. Do you know why most of SW's ordinance is non-guided? Because jamming prevents homing even from the advanced technology of SW, in almost all instances. That is why gunners actually man the turrets on the Deathstar and such.
so,st has superior manufacturing,weapons that are just as powerful[xindi super weapon,phase canon]both of those can level a planet to rubble. and i dont belive those ridiculous power numbers that sw claims to have.those numbers are based on some sw guys claims that it must take x amount of power to blow up a planet,so sw weapons must be making that much power. well one borg cube can level a planet,the enterprise has destroyed asteriods bigger then it self before,their tractor beams can move small moons,phase canons can rip a borg cube apart in one shot,andorian ships and weapons are about 5 times bigger then earth ships too,so they are as big as a stardestroyer,and andorians are a warrior race,they live to battle,much like most of the other major races in the alpha quad.
ST has superior manufacturing? Again, you have -not demonstrated this-. You have provided ZERO evidence. Not to mention that as noted, the FEd has only a few hundred planets, when at the bare minimum, the Empire has -billions-. There are more people on Coruscant alone than there are in the entier Alpha and Beta quadrants, most likely. In fact, more people died in the Yuuzhan Vong war than there exists in the entire ST galaxy, in all likelyhood.
Oh, and Phase Cannons? Maximum power rate of 500 gigajoules. Giga = 10^9th. A megaton = 4.184 petajoules. Peta = 10^15th joules. Hence, you can see that the phase cannons are ludicrously weak, pointing towards the fact that Star Wars ships are equally as weak.

The Xindi Superweapon, if it could have actually destroyed Earth - and we'll assume it did - in a manner equivalent to the Deathstar destroying Alderaan, would in fact have power equal to that, yes. On the other hand, if it was simply going to blow off the crust, or something similar, then it would have less power significantly, and more akin to an Eclipse Class Stardestroyer's superlaser.
The Enterprise's tractor beams moving small moons do point towards powerful tractors, yet the Yuuzhan Vong are easily able to -fling- moons as -projectiles- at planets. Not to mention that the Enterprise was not capable of destroying most asteroids it came into contact with, whilst Star Destroyers are easily able to vapourize tons of asteroids, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Hell, even Jango Fett's Slave 1 has weaponary that can pulverise asteroids.
and how do you claim blasters are superior to phasers?i have yet to see any evidence of this,and if you are grazed by a phaser on kill,you die,most blasters still have trouble going throu one guy or small amounts of metal.and i know hand held blasters cant vaporize people in one shot.
Show one instance where a grazed phaser blast produced a kill on a fully grown human being or equivalent, not one which struck straight on the centre of the chest. Moreover, those are -not- blasters which vapourize, but DISRUPTORS. Star Wars has disruptors, too, and can vapourize entire human targets just as easily.
and do you really think st sensors wont be able to find those exsaust ports in the sw ships? hell,one tiny x wing can blow up a stardestroyer,so they arent that powerful. how many tiny ships have taken out sws biggest baddest ships? between lukes xwing and the mellenium falcon the empires biggest baddest weapons got vaporized.so obviously sw is not as powerful as you claim,they are no where even close to those ridiculous power levels,that some none canon website claims are true.
An X-Wing did not blow up a Star Destroyer. And as to the Deathstar? A design flaw. The Deathstar II - were it completed before it was attacked by the Rebels - would have had no entrances into its reactor core from the surface.
Moreover, those aren't "ridiculous power levels". Take a highschool physics class and you will be able to make the same determinations, also.
besides,it has beeen calculated that to go to warp one would take the energy output of an entire stars lifetime,so the enterprise can obviously produce that much power[ill try to find the link].hell shuttle craft can go warp 5-6! so they must be as powerful as several stars.
Considering the Fed ships use anti-matter annihilation, this is impossible. Moreover, it is generally accepted that warp works on the foundation of warping speed through the usage of a yet-unknown fifth force of nature, theorized to be a repulsive force.
and what about the gorn? unless you got some dimond bazzoka you cant even hurt them, phasers on anything less then the highest setting wont even slow them down. and there are sevral species that are just as powerful and can get a hole blown throu them and be just fine.
Save that the gorn weren't "fine" when faced with a primitive handcannon that blew a hole through its chest, created by Kirk.
and how many times has a fed ship taken out some of the most powerful beings in the galaxy? or at least lived to tell about it.
MOstly dealt with by non-violent means.
the fact is st is more powerful then any sw dork will ever admit.
hell,turbo lasers are about as powerful as a photon torp,thats it.
and they are not even very accurate or effective. small ships just fly right by them and they cant do anything but launch a few crappy fighters,and we all ready know the enterprise can take out as many dinky fighters that anyone can throw at it.[ at least 150 a minute for anyone keeping score].thats better then any other ship i have seen in sw.
Baseless assertion over baseless assertion. Do you not know how to use that slimy mass of grey matter in your head? Or do you simply refuse to?
and do you really think an invading galaxy would not be noticed by Q? he loves to stir up trouble,and he would do anything to help picard[because he thinks its funny when we fail and need help].and Q IS more powerful then the entire sw galaxy combined,an since this is galaxy vs galaxy,Q would be fighting for the st side.
See Arquibus' response.
and two cause each side has a plethora of advantages that the other doesn't. To say that one side would win based on weapons alone is shear stupidity and deserves to be laughed at for the obsurdity it is. Only idiots who have never studied war think that way.
