Need to geek rising....
Depends.
Does the DS have it's protective TIE fighters?
Even if it didn't I think the DS would win.

Does the Death Star have SuperHornets ? I think not.

Yeah the enterprise would just invert the polarity on the main deflector dish to create an anti-tachyon stream. Bada-bing, no more death star.

I refuse to answer until someone asplains why a space station floating in teh vacuum of space needs an exhaust vent.

Now that Scotty is dead, no.

Sweater Grill: This is not a Borg vs Enterprise thread, kindly don't 'jack on such an important issue!

The borg probably would have assimlated the Death Star too!

I give the battle to the Enterprise based on manuverability and rate of fire alone!

Great Caesar's Toast: Yeah the enterprise would just invert the polarity on the main deflector dish to create an anti-tachyon stream. Bada-bing, no more death star.


Will you marry me!

No, none of the Enterprises would win, although that one from "All Good Things" which could shoot THROUGH other ships would do some heavy damage to the death star before it got taken out.

Dunno about the Borg vs. Death Star. Dunno enough about the Borg's capabilities to really say.

Superman, in his current incarnation, probably couldn't take out the Death Star unless he got lucky. Pre-Crisis Superman could of course destroy the DS very easily, unless somehow a high level Jedi or Sith was somehow able to use force powers to contain him. Oh, or of course if they moved the Death Star into orbit around a red sun, where he'd be powerless.

I don't know if Sweater Girl could take out the death star, but she could certainly make it feel chastened and embarrassed.

Well the Death Star would immobilise the Enterprise but the crew would come up with some cunning plan involving some technobabble and would win the day and everything would be fine again. Just like every farking episode.

Sweater Girl: Now..keep in mind I'm going on SW,ESB and RTJ.
After that..yeah..I wish the Enterprise sucked up Lucas.


I heart Sweater Gril

/yes I did that on porpoise.

Death Star: 1 gigantic gun pointed one way - No sheilds - no manueverability.

Enterprise: Many guns, many directions - sheilds - much manueverability.

Sweater Girl: The death star doesn't need to manuever. It's huge

It could use a little rotation on the Y axis.

This thread takes me back to 10 years ago, on Usenet.
Oh the times, they aint a changin

Wince_Meet: Death Star: 1 gigantic gun pointed one way - No sheilds - no manueverability.

Enterprise: Many guns, many directions - sheilds - much manueverability.

Wait a minute, no shields? What do you mean, no shields? It had shields, at least in the third movie.

Also, while it's true about the unmaneuverable superlaser, one shot from it would end the whole thing. Though the E could just stay on the other side...

You have a good point though, the best the DS could do is throw waves of tie fighters, and since they're unshielded, the E could just pick them off with phasers. It'd still have trouble denting the DS though, except for whichever model that "All Good Things" future enterprise was, with the three nacelles and that awesome phaser that blasts all the way through other ships.

alienated: This thread takes me back to 10 years ago, on Usenet.

How far back do the boobies threads take you?

Obviously all the Enterprise would have to do is adjust the subspace frequency of the phaser array and fire it into that little hole. Hell, farm boy Luke did it.

/full on geek mode.

/couldn't resist
//but do continue

Sweater Grill:Ok, and I'll bring some marinated jumbo prawns too.

Now, the Enterprise had no problem travelling back and forth in time at will to fetch whales, etc.

They could also summon and infinite number of Enterprises like from that one STNG episode...

The death star has a single giant gun that takes forever to re-arm, a bunch of kiss-ass syncophants at the helm being directed by a monomaniacal mommas-boy, and populated by clones that willingly accept death.

NO CONTEST!

Sweater Girl: Now see, a better question would be Death Star vs Q

Q, no question. The continium would win hands down.

kronicfeld: The Enterprise is huge. It's about as "maneuverable" as all those capital ships the DS2 was blowing up with zero effort in RotJ.

Are you serious? I don't have anything to back this up but at least the Enterprise-D has always looked far more manueverable than those capital ships.

/can feel my virginity growing back

That is a hideous mental image.. tell us when it crusts over

Sweater Girl: Again I think what is being lost here is the entire story behind the creation.
Death Star=Anakin and whatshisface Palpatine
the only thing that can destroy it is Luke

Enterprise=overtaken numerous times by many things.

Well then we'll temporarily let Luke serve as Captain or something on the Enterprise

Now see, a better question would be Death Star vs Q

Q ruins any comparison because he's literally omnipotent and no fun

?

Sweater Girl: From what I understand Shatner is still acting too, grunthos

Weren't you going outside?

/I refuse to participate; I left this phase of my life behind me a long time ago.
//Death Star wins.

Sweater Girl: From what I understand Shatner is still acting too, grunthos

He's resorted to ads in the UK. Please make him stop.

this reminds me of this guy I used to be stationed with in the Navy. He had just left either the USS Iowa or the USS Missouri; for those that don't know, those are two WWII-era battleships, just these HUUUUGE farking behemoths with enormous guns. He loved the freaking ship. He couldn't go more than 5 minutes without talking about the damn ship.

Anyways, we'd start nerding off from time to time, and he'd be like, "the world's most formidable killing machine is the USS Iowa (or Missouri, I forget). There is not a weapon on Earth it can't withstand." O RLY?

So we'd start busting him up with questions like "what about a barrage of Tomahawks, a Carrier Battle Group, or a submarine squadron was deployed against it?"

He'd be like, "*snicker* nope, they can't touch my battleship. Its armor is to strong and blah blah blah...."

Anyways, we'd keep on him, and he'd eventually get all pissed and throw a hissyfit and storm out. "YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! THE USS IOWA WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!"

Good times.


And the Enterprise could easily take out the Death Star.

rickythepenguin: And the Enterprise could easily take out the Death Star.

That is, when it isn't stuck in the mud.



Boy, was that embarrassing.

Two words:

Quantum. Torpedoes.*


*now with twice the isotons

Sweater Grill:
Yeah, he's still acting now that he got kicked out ("retired") of the federation after too many sexual harrassment suits. Picard on the other hand was promoted to Starship Captain after being stepfather to King-freakin'-Arthur in "Excalibur" so there!!!!

grunthos: Sweater Grill:

Do you not understand how hard she can kick you?

Hornwrecker: That is, when it isn't stuck in the mud.

*Smirk* hahahahahhhahaa, that is farken CLASS! D'oht!



Yeah man, that guy was a tool. He was a YN2. He tried to keep his Iowa / Missouri rocker at our command, and the CMC was like, "dude, no way bro, you need to wear OUR rocker" and the guy was like "NO WAY BRO, I PROUDLY SERVED ON THE USS IOWA AND THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE NAVAL UNIFORM." Also, he tried to wear his Iowa ballcap and the same thing happened.

You can guess who won that battle.

Even his civvies were decked out in Iowa gear. Belt buckle, t-shirts, tour jacket, all that shiat.

I think he used his cruise books as spank rags.

I guess I should provide this caveat for my earlier post:

It depends on which captain was in charge.

If it was Kirk, he'd do it easily, then hook up with Leia.

If it was Picard, he would have his ass nearly kicked, then be forced to turn the Enterprise into some sort of ramming tool. Everyone would evacuate at the last second, and results can vary. Then Picard would bore Leia with Moby Dick quotes.

RabidDog: Do you not understand how hard she can kick you?

I thought it was a term of endearment. It made me smile anyway

grunthos: The death star has a single giant gun that takes forever to re-arm, a bunch of kiss-ass syncophants at the helm being directed by a monomaniacal mommas-boy, and populated by clones that willingly accept death.


Other than the "single giant gun", that sounds like the White House.....ummmm.....nevermind.

/sorry, couldn't resist....resistance was futile, one might say

Well, duh. The Enterprise crew are all Federation staff. The Death Star crew are contractors.

PinocchioDeBergerac: Well, duh. The Enterprise crew are all Federation staff. The Death Star crew are contractors.


I'm not even supposed to be here today.
