You are the captain of a Federation starship

Q appears and then through his power shows to you the might SW galaxy with its great ships.

He then offers to instantly (through his power) upgrade your ship with ONE of the following - you must choose which.
  • SW power generation core and hyperdrive
  • SW power core and SW-level shields
  • SW power core and gigaton-level weaponry
  • SW realtime galaxy-wide communications technology
  • Droid technology which could be easily reproduced

Hard to pick. Is this in preparation for an invasion by the Empire?

SW power core and SW-level shields

this would make my ship very hard to defeat. since the weapons I have can already take out other Alpha Quadrant ships this should make me Invincible. Since I have a Star Wars power core upgrading my weapons to higher firepower with Star Trek Tech shouldn't be hard.

Power Core and Shields - invunerable ships with way more weapons to boot,a few years down the line get one of the faster FTL drives working and the Feds dominate the galaxy.

In that case, I would go with power generation and hyperdrive. Speed is always a good thing to have. I am assuming the ship would be able to handle the stress of traveling through hyperspace.

Power core and shields. With that powerful weapons aren't as much of a concern as I can just sit there and constantly fire.

Hyperdrive would be nice, but with the power core maybe I could get the Voyager crew to rig up a Warp 10 drive and find someway to counter the effects.

Communications would be nice, but being everywhere at once makes it a bit unnecessary.

Droids are not that important. There are examples of robots in the ST universe already. And if need be I could probably find a substitute.

I will take the weapons...though a stray shot or two from the enemy can kill me...I would blast them before they have a good chance too. :)

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Strong shields make your ship last a lot longer. Don't need hyperdrive to outrace anyone. Weapons are already adequate to take out most ships around. No one communicates in the Federation anyways. Gotta go with safety.

Power core and hyperdrive. With that much power, ST shields will work just fine.

Power core & shields.

As stated before, Startrek ships are grossly underpowered and throwing more power are weapons & other stuff is always do able. With SW shielding in Startrek, you do not need uber weapons.

Just ram them till they give up!(Which would be once)

Can the SW power core be duplicated?

If so, fit one to shuttles/runabouts and use them as a massive torpedo.
OR
Add shields, and they can just run thought multipule startrek ships.

However!
If I have a typical startrek crew, I go for the droids. Then gas the ship with sleeping gas(except my room, even then I'll be in an space suit just in case) transport all the crew off some on some Federation held planet & go rogue.

Then I would get the droids to continiously improve the ship. Making it 'safer' would be the first priority, then moving on the rebiulding the ship once I find a safe place too hide. Also I would get the holodeck working (reasons pending)

I then bootup the holodeck & recreate holoclones of dozens of people who excel in planning & design & debugging. The I would get them to redsign my ship, with the driods doing most of the work. The ships computer system would be replaced with the same computer tech found in the driods.

Then I break out all the referances to lost Uber teck, and get the holograms to make them practical & the droids to implement them.

Cloaks, phase-cloaks, temporal shields(since each ST ship can become a timeship if you stuff up the warp drive in the correct manor), really useful medical tech, working holodeck, cut the number of crew needed down to 1(me), etc. However the most important tech, is a viable mind-to-machine interface.

Then use some funky temporal tech & medical tech to put me in a field were time flows faster, with the medical tech keeping me alive for thousnads of years(from my point of view).

I take the power & Hyperdrive, if I have this power I can make the weapons kick ass, and wars are a lot more winnable if I can get to their HQ in a metter of hours, conquest is easier, hell I'd go as fast as the comm. signals, I could intercept them, be like a shadow across the quadrant. I just remembered this is the Federation, the tech will be lost in a week.

SW power core and gigaton-level weaponry so I can BLOW up anything that may threathen me and still have power to spare for my underpowered shields and engines. Next step get better FTL engines, transwarp or that Quantium thing Voyager tried once. 8)

The hyperdrive will let me freak out all of my opponents. After all, nothing like an uber-fast object on a collision course to scare people. And like GAT says, shield upgrade comes with the power upgrade.
