Possibly, but there are some people over at B5tech.com that could help in doing so.

Jackknife, Zeta, TM, Steve and Chris would be more then capable of a complete analysis.

Besides we could use something to talk about over there lol.

Possibly a Replicator souped up Asgard ship.

Not sure about the weapons systems, but they can sure as hell out run an ISD.

Well radio can travel both ways through a gate. As long as it has no particles, then it can travel both ways. When they linked to the gate that was under the influence of the black hole, a malfunction occured in the SGC gate and it would not de activate, it was supposedly pulling power from the blac...

Oh and what is this crap about how it only takes only two, 2 megaton warhead to wack a Sharlin. This is obviously false because if it were the case the Minbari never would have gotten past the second EA colony. The EA would have been tossing Megatoners around as if they were going out of style.

The death star does sit still and in predictable orbits from time to time you know. However I doubt this tactic could be done to the Death star. The offensive systems of the DS would shred any ship trying to enter range to effectively use their JP on it. And jamming would probably make it impossible...

And why cant they? Just because it wasnt seen on the series does not mean it cannot be done. There are a few reasons why we may not have ever seen it used as a weapon during the season, one its not accurate.

Oh well, you dont have to open a jump point in a ship to seriously hurt it or destroy it, just off to the side of the bugger and let it get wacked by the expanding vortex.

My question is, could a Jedi defend against a sniper? Some very good snipers can pick a man off from over a mile or so away.
