Another war!

Aranthos · Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2007 10:50 pm Post subject: Another war!

Ok, so war may be pushing it. Maybe more of a fight. Or punch up. But certainly not a war, for that we need far more people. Anyway, I think the 'Falcon would win. It just would. The Enterprise is this great big hulk of metal that the only reason it ever manages to survive is beause of its crew. The Falcon wins all the time despite its crew. I'm not going to pretend to be particularly well-versed in this particular area of discussion, in fact, I'm not even sure there ever were Star Trek books.

I say the 'Falcon. The standard shield integrity test is to rest the entire ship upon its shielding. It also has 4 levels of such (Ray, Particle, Concussive, and the outwards force from its gravity system which adds a general buffer against collisions and objects in addition to what it already has). Also, it managed to enter and exit The Maw Cluster, which is a narrow black hole lined corridor/pocket in space where various Imperial Super Weapons (including The Death Star) were designed and tested. Traditionally the Enterprise has stayed waaaaay the hell away from single singularities and struggled going anywhere near them.

Also, by default, the person piloting it is either Han Solo or Lando Calrissian. And they're both Cool As Hell (TM) and Manly.

WOO!! FALCON FTW! To be quite frank I'm not too bothered about its ability to escape quantum singularities. It's just cooler than the Enterprise. Apparently it has almost the same volume of air inside it as the Enterprise don't ya know... And it's hyperdrive is waay cooler than warp. It just is. What sounds cooler? There ya go. Hyperdrive wins.

On a related topic (unusual...) WHO THE HELL VOTED ENTERPRISE?!?!? This may be a vote but we all know what we should vote for.

Geez, this seems more like a popularity contest than an honest 'war'. The Enterprise is more than 20 times the size of the Falcon! You think rinky dink Falcon could take on the Enterprise by itself? Solo nor Lando would have been that foolish. And my boyfriend Jon raised some very valid points.

Millennium Falcon: Manual targeting, 2 quad laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers with a total of 8 missiles.

Starship Enterprise: Computerized targeting/auto-locking, 12 phaser arrays, 3 photon torpedo launchers with 250 total torpedoes.

Yeah, tell me again how the Falcon could possibly blow up the Enterprise. Rolling Eyes

The Falcon has way better maneuver ability which is to say it can get behind the guns and make the shots count. But Han or Lando would definitely have to pull an SG-1 move and beam in between the shield and a ship to hit the Enterprise because there is no way that it has enough missiles to knock out the shields. Though it does seem that a mere tap knocks the shields on the enterprise to 50% all the time.

Besides, everyone knows Federation people can't fight worth a damn. Either Lando or Hand (lets not even get into Chewie) get onto the Enterprise its over for the whole crew.

And the Falcon has every single smuggler's piece of tech that can be crammed onto it. Good luck getting a good lock. The only reason tractor beams manage to snag it is because they are very wide area energy projections

That, and a third of the crew on the Enterprise are red shirts and those guy die if someone sneezes anyway.
