/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Would a Federation warship like the Defiant out gun a Star Wars Star Destroyer? Who has a bigger armada? Who has the tactical advantage? Don't forget that The Federation includes the Klingons, who love warfare and have fast, agile, heavily armed ships, with cloaking devices, and the Vulcans with superior logic and tactical planning.

Considering the SW universe doesn't have transporters, it's probably safe to assume their shields aren't modulated to block transporters. So they could just beam torpedoes through.

Transporters block shields regardless of modulation. You can modulate weapons to penetrate shields, but transporters are trickier. "We can't get the away team back because shields are up!" would be a non-issue if the shields could be modulated to block weapon fire but allow transporters.

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.

How many torpedoes do you estimate it would take to destroy a Super Destroyer?

One. Quantum torpedoes are many magnitudes more powerful than nuclear bombs. Even if that's not enough to completely destroy a star destroyer, its certainly enough to destroy its power core (or whatever they call the power source in Star Wars).

Just beam random chunks out.

Bean random chunks in. Not a typo.

They don’t have transporters but apparently Jedis can just teleport shit through the Force? Didn’t Rey teleport a lightsaber at some point? Presumably this is a skill that could be picked up by the Empire.

Yeah, anyways that happened. Somehow, Force teleportation.
