Gunstar VS. Peregrine Fighter

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2002-11-11 03:21pm

If you were a pilot, which of these two ships would you rather have:

Gunstar from "The Last Starfighter."

or

a generic Peregrine fighter from Star Trek.

Gunstar. "Death Blossom!"

Look at the size of the peregrine. Thats not a fighter, thats a bomber, or even a gunboat by most sci-fi standards.

I hope you all realize that there are SEVERAL Pereguin-class fighters.

There's the Tac-fighter, the Raider (mainly used by the Maquis), and one type used by "Red Squadron" for air-shows.

The Gunstar takes it. The Peregrine can't carry nearly as much armament (Death Blossom, anyone?) and definitely doesn't show the maneuverability of the Gunstar in close quarters. On the other hand, one would need a dedicated gunner for the Gunstar, so being able to coordinate is a must.

Gunstar. I wouldn't touch anything Trek.

The Gunstar is the better fighter without any doubt.

the gunstar has way cooler shapes. the peregrin has merely the usual body and wing design.

the shape of the gunstar makes more sense for flying and fighting in space as well.

Ahem.

This is not a Peregrine, this is the Raider that was in VGR Caretaker, its freaking massive and has a crew of like 30-40.

whatever. it doesnt change anything about the shapes.

I'd have to vote for the one not from Star Trek. It's crew doesn't have to worry about a warp core wanting to explode every Tuesday night at 7:00.

HMMM. I think the Gunstar would take that one thanks to its missiles and gun turrets.

It doesn't change anything about the shapes, but it does increase the firepower available to the ship as well as give it more phaser emiters all over the ship.

Pure biass with no substance backing it up. Only the Galaxy class has ever shown a real problem with the Warp Core. The majority of Trek ships have shown the ability to take large amounts of damage and still function without a core breach.

Uh... I was joking. You know, when you say something like two men walk into a bar.

The Gunstar.

As if there is any choice.

On the other hand, it's a two-man aircraft which might be impractical at times....

Not if they know how to work together. Your average F-14 Tomcat crew could probably figure it out in a couple hours.

Gunstar dosen't really need Death Blossom against the expolding warp tin-can

However, if the gunner is killed, what then??? Does a Gunstar have any Artificial Intelligence system to control its weapons??
