I agree, using similar technology the Spartans were able to accomplish their objectives. I am not objecting to that.
And the American superiority in technology also applies to the Revolutionary War (American Rifles, powder, etc.) The American privateer force was ludicrously effective in that war due to its superior materials and ships, although, you are right, most of them were privateers. BTW, American ship design was FAR better than the British design at the time.
None of your rebuttals takes away from the crux of my argument, which is that it is impossible to defeat an enemy with technology as far beyond your own as the SW galaxy would enjoy against ST. I was merely rebutting what someone else posted. The best SF could hope for would be to not be completely wiped out in a matter of days. It could only minimize its losses, but could not win a war.

When you want peace prepare for war! --Confusious
That was disapointing ..Should we show this Federation how to build a ship so we may have worthy foes? Typhonis 1

-Obviously you have never read their history. Do the 300 hundred Spartans ring a bell, and what about the American revolution
Did they have a 1000 to 1 speed, number, industrial and firepower advantage? I think not.

Look at Mike's hatemail page. There's a section on DITL.
[-b]-Says who.
Every intelligent person.
Even if they were plasma cannons like Mr Wong states
Liar. Mike says they're NOT plasma weapons
Wrong, they have long ranges.that means that they have limited range
and they're no more powerful than Archer's EM pistols in Broken Bow pathetic
Another fucking stupid trekkie. Turbolasers are up to hundreads of gigatons, while phasers are barely megaton.
1. You take a insignficant point that does not effect a war between SW and ST.-You dont have to. His theory that the empire invented transporters but dosent use them because of ethical reasons BULLSHIT
2. Where does he claim this?
- I have only one thing to say about this LOL
I really hope Im not starting a flame war but what is false must be challenged. Does Star Trek have plot holes and science mistakes? yes but it has over 600 hours of screentime and has many people giving input if you dont expect inconsistancies well then your just being gullible. Overall Star trek has taken the time to input science into the show hence the tecnobabble and if you ask me has done a good job of it Star wars dosent. Mr Wong just dosent like Star Trek and seems to want to make sure we dont either. But instead of saying he dosent like it and just leaving it at that he creates an obnoxious website that insults Star trek fans perhaps Mr Wong and his followers should take some advice "To those of you who think you know it all your upsetting to those of us who do." .
It does not take the time to imput science. Almost every episode has technobabble or fucks up science.
