photon torpedoes are anti-matter bombs. this only shows that star trek ships have such strong defenses that they can withstand prolonged bombardment from destructive power of such magnitude. the other ships on that list have no chance against the enterprise. the federation has shields that can go through a sun ffs.

Voltron.
First off its super powerd and has a sword that can slice through anything. Transformers, are just a weaker version. The enterprise would get wooped up by all but the transformers, or even the transformers if they had enough energon. The voltron force could split up and fight off the fighters and then turn into the voltron to kill the death star.

Voltron Force, no dout.

I'd call this claim into question. There have been plenty of star trek moments when a ship has been hit w/ a photon torp with the shields DOWN and the ship took minor to medium damage.

Also, asteroids are a major problem for Star Trek ships, remember the Executor casually blowing them away as it cruised through an asteroid belt?

saying that the enterprise in 1/20th the size of the ssd is giving the enterprise a lot of credit... it might be 1/20 the length, i'll give you that, but the ssd is many orders of magniude larger in sheer mass..

Come on.

Drop the SSD and it's a real battle.

size matters not!!! :|


Yup. An A-wing pretty much took out a SSD in ROTJ.


did you miss the part about "focus all your fire on the super star destoyer" bit? The guy in the A-wing just got lucky, thats all.

are we counting the huge fleet of fighters the executer (thanks for the name So, i couldn't remember it) carries with it?

oh well it's a show built on massive amount of techno-babble, there's bound to be a whole pile of inconsistencies.

I hadn't been, but probably should, especially since depending on when you're facing the executor you may be facing impressive tie advanced fighters (did they have shields? I can't remember)

True. SW's strength was in the vagueness of the technical details. The writers didn't try to explain how the ships worked, and they let the nerds work it out later. :p

Yes, TIE Advanced fighters had shields.

Super Star Destroyers would win.

8km in length, 144 fighters and various support craft. Furthermore, it has over 500 turbolaser batteries (250 regular, 250 heavy), another 250 concussion missile tubes, 250 ion cannons... no Star Trek ship could survive. If you think they can launch photon torpedos, SSDs can launch enough bombers with enough heavy rockets/space bombs to blow any Trekkie capital ship into oblovion.

Pfeh you think the crew of a whole battleship isn't using 'teamwork'? Trust me, thousands of Tie advanced fighters distracting them...drawing them in...then BAM -- broadside, hit tby thousands of guns that could EACH destroy an asteroid? Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. No matter how shiny it is ;)

SSD + Fleet of TIE interceptors, bombers > Enterprise
Robotech (Several Squadrons -- the fighter jet/mech combo ones) > Voltron
