I'd have my money on the Deathstar if it was in a scrap against any variation of the Enterprise. Planet killer against photon torpedo.....no contest

Yeah, but the computer on the Enterprise (or a shuttlecraft) wouldn't have too much a problem hitting that exhaust pipe. If you took a runabout down that trench and hit the pipe with one of the micro torpedoes they carry, no more Death Star.

I dunno, I think the Borg and Vader would have a lot in common. They're all evil cyborgs.

That sounded a bit naughty.

Seriously, if Vader fought the Borg, it wouldn't bee too much of a battle. For one thing, he's a Dark Lord of the Sith. He could easily wipe out dozens of drones in one swipe of his hand. Also, he never goes anywhere without his contingent of Stormtroopers. While the Borg would no doubt be able to adapt to the Stormtroopers' blaster fire, their armor would give those assimilation tendrils a bit of a tough time, giving the Stormtroopers ample time to bludgeon the drones to death.

And there it is. I think I just set a new personal record for geekdum.

LOL. So true. And the Deathstar can fire at long range... It could take out a cube nicely as well. That's another onethe borg wouldn't have a chance of assimilating... They'd be histroy before they knew what hit em.

ouch..... VGERis one of those problematic things. At distance the Death Str can blow it up, At close range? Hmmm. It could change the balance of power. Good point though.

I don't even think the Death Star could scratch VGER. 12 Astronomical Units in size. That's pretty big.

Actually, it was over 82 AUs in size in the original movie. They scaled it back to 2 AUs in size for the Director's Series DVD. (they just edited the 80 from the dude's speeech)

I would have to conceed that fact. VGER is way too big. Centerpoint station might give Vger a run for it's money I think.

There's also the fact that it was V'Ger's cloud that was 2 AU, not the vessel itself. After the cloud dissipated, the vessel entered orbit around Earth. That means it was probably smaller than Earth. And the Death Star did take out Alderaan without even straining a circuit.

I guess it would come to down to whoever had the longest range.
Omnipotent mechanical alien device or moon sized planet killer.
It's interesting to note that it's the bad guys with the serious hardware that are front runners in a duel and not the plucky heroes of either franchise.

Of course, if you want to talk omnipotence, we Trekkies have the ultimate weapon on our side: Q. Not even The Force can stand up to his power. With the wave of his hand, the whole Jedi Order could cease to exist. Plus, even if anything in the SW universe could handle Q, he's not the only one of his kind. There are lots more in the Q Continuum. :evil:

Q wouldn't really be a problem as The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

Im big fan of both of them. To be honest, i dont know who would really can win. They both have their advantages and disadvantages, so who knows. About the deathstar vs whatever, it would be hard for it to hit starships from star trek, being most are very maneuverable compared to the star wars counterpart. From what i can tell from the movies, it would be difficult to hit a moving target. Anyways just my opinion.

I know this much, Star Wars has better computer and video games. It's been almost a decade since a Trek game came out that was worth a damn.

I wish that Lucas Arts would bring out an update of X-Wing or Tie Fighter. That would be something to see with the current game engines that are out there. I think Tie Fighter was the best Star Wars game ever made. Flying a Tie was such a rush.

The last Star Trek computer game I played was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Harbinger and it was just awful. Just unplayable and a complete waste of money.

Starfleet Command is a 3D naval space combat game that's pretty cool. I've also played Starfleet Command III, which is very similar but the first game is in the movie era, the 3rd one is in the TNG era. The only thing that kind of aggravates me about the original game is the recharge time on the weapons (I can't remember if it's still slow on the 3rd one because it's been a while since I played it) but it's a great game. Plus, you can choose between 6 groups (Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Hydran, Lyran, Gorn) and you can either go on campaigns where you gain rank and prestige and can slowly increase what class of ship you're using (or refit your existing ship) or you can just choose the skirmish option and skip the formalities and go straight to combat. (with any ship you want to use) And you can download mods and import them, though there are more available for Stafleet Command 2 & 3.

It's the only Star Trek PC game that I've played that I'd actually recommend to someone, but you'd probably have to go on Amazon to find these days. Bridge Commander was occasionally OK, but not that great. And Starfleet Academy was fun at first but then go tedious. Most of the other Star Trek PC software that's worth a s*** isn't even games, it's some of the fun Simon & Schuster apps. like Captain's Chair and the interactive encyclopedia.

The only Star Trek game I really got into was Star Fleet battle manual. Once played never forgotten. (It used models of star fleet vessels and was played on the floor. A room of 4 metres by four metres would be on the tichy side.)

Im a fan of both but I find it funny how the hardcore Star Trek guys think that the Enterprise could take out even a Super Star Destroyer without taking any damage and the Hardcore Star Wars guys say the exact opposite. Personally I think a Soverign Class might last for a bit against a Super Star Destroyer only because the amount of fire power between the two leans greatly to the Star Destroyer but the Shields on the Star Trek Vessels are supposedly more advanced. Though thats a bunch of bias crap for all we know they are the same.
