Ignore sense. Ignore reason. Embrace the wanking.

Well, for some odd reason, it never uses it. And seeing as the NJOSB was written halfway through the series, most of the material in it can be overidden by the latter half of the series.Kuja wrote:NJO Sourcebook.Praxis wrote:What's with the anti-NJO obsession some members seem to have?SirNitram wrote: New Jedi Order.

I've read NJO, every single book, and there is not one reference to the Errant Venture having a superlaser.

It implied it was a superlaser based on the "Darksaber" weapon, supposedly. There was no indication of just how large or powerful it was. For that matter, there's no certainty that any of it is indeed factual or if Booster is just making empty boasts (for one thing, they claimed the weapon had a range of one light-year. Contrast this with the suppoed 47 million km range for the DS1 superlaser.)SirNitram wrote:Check the NJO Sourcebook.The Original Nex wrote:It doesn't have one in the NJO.

Again. Recite the mantra of NJO.
Well, it's not like the beam is gonna just stop. And against most targets an SL would be brought to bear against, it's not impossible to calculate the positions to fire from that far away.Connor MacLeod wrote:It implied it was a superlaser based on the "Darksaber" weapon, supposedly.

No, but since we're talking about a non FTL weapon, such a range is effectively impractical (both in any sort of tactical or al most any strategic sense)SirNitram wrote:Well, it's not like the beam is gonna just stop.

Being well educated in physics should tell you that both Trek and Wars are unrealistic fantasies that won't work in our world, right? ; ) I know, I know, hehe.Sothis wrote:Anyone, be they a Trekkie, a Warsie, or a fan of eating raw chicken, will, if educated in the field of physics, reach the same conclusions- that the Empire wins.
In fact, you don't need to be a super-whizz at science to figure out the simple logistical stuff- the Empire's bigger resources, better construction technology, faster FTL...
A lot of Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans simply don't care about the versus debate. They probably view the rest of us as being oddities- even as they stand around with their phasers and lightsabers
Even there, with the descriptions of how the Star Maps had been obliterated when the race (can't remember the name right now) left most of the galaxy, could mean that the Star Forge is back online by the RotE era of SW.Lord Revan wrote:The Empire's/Republic's superweapo tend be adaptions common tech into huge scale so they're no hard to repplicate if you enought resources and will. ST superweapons tend to be invented by the team that makes the weapon (and involves solutions that are know by the team only). to date the Starforge is the only (IIRC) SW Superweapon that's impossible to replicate.
OK, this shit has got to stop.Kruk wrote: Well, .25c it's 75 000 km/s. MF has needed more than second to fly from front to back of stardestroyer. The same goes for starfighters in ROTJ. They needed more than second to fly 12 km (SSD length) and in the battle You fly on maks speed. It gives maks speed of MF about 12 km/s. Fighters are faster probably (100 times its still 1 200 km/s) it's still 6 time slower than most trek ships speed. If I got my hand on divix version of SW, I'll give you visual evidence.
