Hey prof, your right that the star drestroyers are much bigger than say, and intrepid or even galaxy class starship. However, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Remember, the super star destroyer was taken out by one measly x-wing. Also, the empire uses lasers, not as powerful as a phaser, or photon torpedoes or even quantum topedoes, despite what that web site says.

See you guys are putting too much faith in Weapons...The Empire has ways of fucking with you head.

He would say to some, "Your faith in your friends are your weakness....turn to the dark side".

Anyone who can't contol their anger will fall for it...

So you know they will get Worf...thier cheif security officer...with the secrets that he has, the Federation is toast.

As Jean Luc would say..."All hands Abandon ship".

Yeah, I guess I would go with the Empire kicking some ass.
Agree with Knight66 if that Darth Vader was part of the invasion force, he would cut down the opposition in minutes of entering a Federation ship.

Incongito, why do you think that the Federation's armaments are more powerful than the Empires? Please explain.
May have to take a better look at that website I posted.

LOL, these guys need to get a life, or better yet, they need to get laid !!

reminds of the SNL skit with Willaim Shatner at a star trek convention where he mocks Jon Lovitz dressed up as a Trekie or Treker with his "I Grock Spock t-shirt"

just watch out for those Klingons near Uranus !!

Hey I agree with. I'm a star trek believer but after seeing the below comparison chart....it shows all the major sci-fi tv show starship etc...Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Battlestar etc...tons of pics.

Darth Vader is a bad ass but he is only one dark jedi. If Darth Vader was on a ship and it got destroyed, he would be dead. End of story. Darth Vader alone is not going to conquor the Federdation.

I heard Gary Oldman will be in the new Star Wars. He's supposed to be the "baddest" bad guy yet.
And if Gary Oldman plays him, well... he's got to be good.

prof; that new size comparison chart just boggles the mind on how big the Empire's flag ship is.
At that size, they don't even have to fire they could just run the Federation's fleet over. It would be like an aircraft carrier playing chicken with a sail boat.

I think that the only way the Federation would win at this point is if their time travelling desendents intervene. I think it was the Federation from the year 3000!?!

After seeing that comparison chart, i gotta say one thing. Thats a huge bitch. I thought the borg cube was big. Manji's right, they could just run over everybody without firing a single shot. But then again, size doesn't really matter. Or at least thats what i keep telling myself. :)

Curious though about that chart, it doean't show the deathstar. i guess it would be too big to fit in the chart.

The death Star is the size of a moon Isn't it?...I thought that is what was said in the original episode, when they get caught in a tractor beam...I could be wrong

Speaking of the Death Star....

Here's some more stuff to think about.
As fans of Star Wars we did not take in account the effects the destruction of the Death Star would have on Endor.
Return of the Jedi was supposed to be cause for celebration because it marked the beginning of the end of the Empire; but it also brought the beginning of the end of the Ewok race. A Ewok holocaust if you will...
Some Ewok-loving fan did take notice and brought his concerns onto the net, here's the link:

Cool! Thanks for the link! I've always wondered for the longest time just how big that Krenim Imperium Assault Cruiser was, now I know, thanks !!

To anyone who was shocked by the extinction of the Ewoks, well, wipe your tears and read the following link. Turns out that the Endor Holocaust could not have happened according to a rival Star Wars website:

Breathe a sigh of relief, Ewok lovers!!!

Holy crap. Talk about technical. That link was giving me a head ache manji. I'll take your word for it.

Has anyone seen the new aliens vs predator movie coming out next month? It looks good but i hope all of the good sequences aren't just in the trailer. What do you guys think?

AvP looks pretty good.
Aliens! Predators! You think it would be sort of hard to fuck up with that kind of dynamic combination. But its Hollywood and they can turn gold into shit without much effort.
From what I got from the trailer, the story looks a little shaky.

They should have just based their script on one of the DarkHorse's Alien versus Predator comic book story lines.

Looks like there are no major stars, the only guy I recognized was the guy who played the android Bishop in Aliens.
Lack of celebrities ..... Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I probably will go see it. Gonna wait for some reviews though, if all the critics hate the movie then I won't bother. If its got mixed reviews or better, I will go see it in the theatre and hope for the best.

Saw an episode of Stargate Atlantis.
Really goofy and filled with cliches!
I'm not sure but I think its a Canadian production (which would explain a lot). The show has got that low budget look to it.

Oh yeah. On top of it all, Rainbow from MuchMusic is in it and he's supposed to be a bad ass Special Forces dude. Needless to say, not very believable!

Anybody got any opinions on this Sci Fi travesty!?!
