The Star Wars universe is full of shields.
The only convincing question I have seen is "both have shields, but the Federation has teleporters. Can Star Wars shields block teleporting a torpedo onboard?"
I still think the Empire fleet outnumber Federation torpedoes, but it's a good question.
How many torpedoes do you estimate the Federation has?
How many torpedoes do you estimate it would take to destroy a Super Destroyer?
How many Super Destroyers do you think the Empire has?
That last number is about a hundredth of how many regular destroyers they have, which is about a thousandth of how many tie fighters and bombers they have.
I would say yes, since the technology demonstrated in Star Trek seems way more advanced than the technology demonstrated in Star Wars.
Care to elaborate?
Federation officers are more scientifically inclined, but in my opinion Star Wars tech is equal or greater at every turn, the tech just gets less fanfare because to Star Wars peeps, the stuff is boring ancient technology.
I highly doubt it.
Tech wise, they would be on par, but Empire forces would FAR outnumber federation forces.
Place the skirmish in the Star Wars galaxy, and Sith enter chat, who would absolutely slaughter federation officers after boarding.
Place it outside their galaxy and odds would slightly improve, but not much.
The Star Wars galaxy is full of infinite resource mechanisms like the Starforge and cloning/droid programs for troops.
Star Trek universe has finite resources.
Also, as far as the Klingons and Vulkans argument, the Star Wars universe literally, according to descriptions of the senate, thousands over thousands of species, all with their own advantages and usually minimal disadvantages.
The only real thing that tilts it for me is if Q enters chat.
Edit: I love this thread, and am having a ball geek debating, but I am pretty firmly set that at best we have a Battle of Thermopylae situation here.
The Federation could put up a valiant fight, but they can't get anywhere with Romulans or Cardacians, respectively 1 planet of adversaries each. They certainly could not defeat 1/3rd of the entire Star Wars core galaxy without an OBSCENE amount of plot armor.
With what?
Facebook has been death rattling for the better part of a decade.
The metaverse failed.
Oh shit... the Oculus.
Cheaper means higher volume means spy-ie-er.
So that's how they could afford that NEARLY UNANIMOUS bill.
To be fair, I have a vive and it is just as much of a data breach.
Rams through major bribery to kill TikTok and try to force a sell to Facebook.
Immediately sets up a Threads account.
Tik Tak Toe.
You are supporting the actions of a president deeply embroiled in committing genocide, and who is expanding military operations globally.
Then you are calling that person and their followers left leaning.
You are a right wing fascist who is part of the effort that is destroying America's left leaning political representation.
Unrelated, I recently tried out Fedia, and I couldn't understand why my Fedia account was consistently being downvoted into oblivion but my Kbin account is consistently upvoted and rarely ever downvoted. I see dude's comment as up 2 down 0 on Kbin.
I think Kbin doesnt register lemmy voting. God I love Kbin.
Fair enough.
Personally, I have only ever had consistently hostile interactions with meth-heads.
I do my best to err on the side of the adult choice to have the freedom of a vice. For me its tobacco, weed, and beer, and I am so fucking sick and tired of prohibitionists (generally people who are or were on probation and now want to act like they have the moral high-ground on the subject) trying to take that right away, or at least punish me for opting for it.
To collaborate more effectively with the NSA and CIA.
The AI was just RNG applied to a census.
