"The Millenium Falcon was almost shot down trying to latch onto a small blind spt on the ISD's hull. That mens that a larger, slower, less maneuverable vessel could easily exploit this "large blind sopt" for uhh, I dunno."

"The Star is useless against a target moving faster than light, and It couldn't destroy Federation planets, because Federation ships are immune to lasers, and a Federation ship could easily beam a through the shields, 80 kilometers of metal walls, into the core."

"All targets are the same, and all weapons are the same"

I made these up, but I wouldn't be suprised if a Trekkie actually used these arguments. The last one is a generalization of many Trekkie arguments.

They frequently do use such arguments! In spite of the fact that the Defiant is MUCH larger than starfighters, I have often heard that it could dodge turbolasers as easily as A-Wings. Also, Loser099 was telling everyone that the Falcon should have been utterly destroyed by a 300 gigaton blast from an ISD, even though it was clearly a light turbolaser shot. Then again, he IS Loser099, so he's really not representative of anything other than himself.

Oh Yeah?! Let's examine all that bad Warsies Logic!


Empire has power, speed, numerical, and logistical superiority over the Federation, therefore Emps>Feds.

What kinda bullshit Warsies Logic is that?
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Not to mention the Force, armor and shields, communications, and a more complete arsenal of weapons for ground forces.
