Oh yeah, I remember that. Why was that so easy to destroy?
Were the star destroyers shooting at any of the rebels? It's been a while since I've seen eposide 6

You guys are confusing a Star Destroyer (a Capital Ship) with the Death Star.

Yeah but don't you find Star Wars (4,5,6) more interesting to talk about then Star Trek?

I guess I should refer you to my first post, I can't stand star trek 😛
Star Wars (the original series) is at least tolerable 🙂

Then how come when the warp engine goes off line when in warp the ship droppes from warp.
(In STar Trek the motion pic they fired a torpedo in warp) Warf's wife was in a torpedo that they cought wile in warp.

The warp field extends far enough out....to keep the torpedo in warp..........😉
Although usually in star trek you get the captain or first officer rather dramatically leaping to their feet and proclaiming "take us out of warp and come about" or some such command.
Fighting at warp is bad, evidently.

They do have hyperspace and hyperdrives though. It's interesting to look at the technical differences of subspace and hyperspace. Where as all the other scifi shows used hyperspace, Star Trek was the pioneer in subspace.
Hyperspace is a method of creating a traveling tunnel in normal space, almost like a moving wormhole. The ship is drawn forward by this distortion and it's mass remains relative to it instead of the surrounding space. Instead subspace is another layer within space. Subspace fields create a bubble around the mass, and the movement of the field is what moves the bubble through space.

Just FYI.
The unit Warp is actually this;
Warp x= c^x
where c = speed of light.

Wow, bunch of semi-geeks...you are all unworthy.
Warp travel is possible by creating a bubble of subspace around a vessel. This subspace field is not bound by the laws of normal space, and thus can travel in a manner faster than the speed of light. It does not actually travel at that velocity, it's merely equivalent to it. The vessel has momentum only thru impulse engines which generate thrust at less than light speed levels. Specifically matter and anti-matter are allowed to mix to create high-energy plasma (the reaction is contained thru the use of dilithium crystals which create a highly energetic magnetic containment field). The high-energy plasma powers a series of warp coils which create the warp field around the ship.
There have been numerous instances of combat occuring at warp speed, which has always caused the science minded trekkie a bit of consternation. There are even contradictory concepts of so much as turning at warp speed...sometimes they say you can, somethimes they say you can't. Anyway, photon torpedos can travel at warp for limited distances, utilizing the deuterium/anti-deuterium reaction in much the same way a starship uses matter/anti-matter reactions. Because the normal rules of time/space do not apply to areas of subspace, it is conceivable that a torpedo who's natural (sub-light) momentum exceeds that of the firing vessel's would proceed in much the same manner as a standard torpedo of today...it would reach the maximum edge of the ships warp bubble, then use it's own warp field to continue towards the enemy vessel. Once entering the enemies warp bubble it would maintain it's initial launch velocity allowing it to travel within the subspace field and strike the enemy vessel where it would detonate.

i am pretty sure it is faster than that
cuz even at warp 10 they would take a year to travel to something 10 light years away
IIRC in Voyager they were something like 200,000 light years way from the alpha quadrant
edit nm
didnt see the ^
i am retarded

You'll find a listing of many episodes here.
Yes warp numbers are exponential since next generation. Before that they used a different calculation system. Warp 10 is theoretically the ability to be everywhere in the universe at the same moment in time. Transwarp allows travel faster than regular warp by linking two points in space absolutely, so they effectively become the same place for that instant. There have been numerous breakdowns to these definitions, for which speicific writers were heavily chastised. Suspended disbelief.
