Well if you put it that way… Weedman and Crossbro let’s go bay-bee!!

I mean, the Millennium Falcon and the Defiant would make for a good scrap, not sure if even that’s too much of a mismatch.

Maybe the Millennium Falcon Vs the Delta Flyer.

rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 31 Dec 05:19 collapse

Considering the number of actual stations, the delta flyer is the only fair match to the millennium falcon. The defiant still has a crew of about 80

HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 31 Dec 05:23 next collapse

But does the enterprise dump its trash?

MohamedMoney@feddit.org on 31 Dec 08:00 collapse

iirc it gets reused in the replicator

notaviking@lemmy.world on 31 Dec 07:46 next collapse

Maybe, but if it was a movie who would you cheer for, the massively overpowered enterprise just blowing up a space minivan or the David vs Goliath battle where two friends with a crossbow takes on a US Space ship and triumphantly makes the impossible possible

Plot ~~armor~~ deflector screens.

Honytawk@feddit.nl on 31 Dec 09:17 collapse

But it isn’t a movie, it is a battle between the 2.

We are rooting for either because we want to see who will win.

Only one of these vessels has done the Kessel run in 7 parsecs

neatchee@piefed.social on 31 Dec 08:24 collapse

12 parsecs. 7 is impossible even with shortcuts through the ion storms

MimicJar@lemmy.world on 31 Dec 08:05 next collapse

Wouldn’t the Enterprise just beam them directly to the brig?

sundray@lemmus.org on 31 Dec 08:51 collapse

They’d probably hold the Falcon in a tractor beam. We know the Falcon hates tractor beams.

neatchee@piefed.social on 31 Dec 08:26 next collapse

Honestly an X-Wing would likely fare better than the Falcon. Proton torpedoes, and small enough to evade their ~~turbo lasers~~ phasers

Honytawk@feddit.nl on 31 Dec 09:18 collapse

You do know those phasers are at the speed of light and auto target, right?

You can’t really dodge them, only deflect them.

neatchee@piefed.social on 31 Dec 09:33 collapse

I was making an admittedly weak reference to the death star trench run dialog. Not serious

Honestly I find these types of questions silly since we have no way to compare the efficiency and efficacy of the different weapon and shielding types, or other on board tech and countermeasures.

For all we know the falcon’s shields absorb phasers like they’re paper and its turret lasers eat the Enterprise’s shield at 5% per bolt. Or it could be the other way around. Not to mention this completely ignores tactics and strategy which is a huge part of it. The Falcon doesn’t do direct confrontation for a reason. Han is more likely to try to fake a surrender and then pull some shit once aboard for negotiations.

And if we’re just gonna say “Trek tech is more advanced than Wars tech” we can just end the discussion there 🤷‍♀️

It’s really hard to compare fantasy and sci fi too. Space acts different in star wars, it has wind resistance like properties as an example.

neatchee@piefed.social on 31 Dec 12:18 collapse

Totally. The fact is, once a society is beyond intra-stellar travel, with craft that do not do atmospheric flight, there is little reason not to go full borg and have ships with no real forward-facing direction to speak of

sundray@lemmus.org on 31 Dec 08:49 next collapse

It’s all just a big misunderstanding!

bufalo1973@piefed.social on 31 Dec 09:24 collapse

I think a better match is Enterprise vs Star Destroyed.

CitizenKong@lemmy.world on 31 Dec 09:50 collapse

There is actually a very funny video on that on Youtube somewhere. Short version: Picard is wholly unimpressed.
