lol, this has to be asked (nother vs)
this site is empire vs federation. wong has thoroughly proven that they would win. so in one of the topics, it's said mon cal could do it. so I posted a topic asking that, and for the most part people agree with that.
in that topic, someone said a dozen bwings could do it.
so the question now is.
how much damage could 12 bwings due to the federation? they certainly couldn't outright conquer, but they could do a lot of raiding. . .

12 B-wings could take out one E-E, IMO. But not much else.

You seem to be very confident. B-Wings are relatively heavy armed for starfighters, and with their missiles they're able to take on any capship SF has to field. Of course, they'd be doomed against a fleet....B-Wings loose. There wont be a problem for Starfleet in this scenario.
But they could do severe damage with ambushs.

I think the B-wings would only be able to go after minor colonies because going after any major planets (homeworlds or homesystems) would results in the planetary defense fleets or planetary defense's taking a chuck out ofthe B-wings.
What are the sensors like on B-Wings? because if they are like those of an X-Wing navigation may be a problem also fuel seems to be a problem for long engagements in real space.

I guess they'd probably focus on single starships or an undefended starbase exclusively. Also they are somewhat more independant than X-Wings with more fuel and better sensors, still they need a base of operations.TheDarkling wrote:I think the B-wings would only be able to go after minor colonies because going after any major planets (homeworlds or homesystems) would results in the planetary defense fleets or planetary defense's taking a chuck out ofthe B-wings.

Raider or pirate role, nothing more, of course they will need some kind of support to carry off the goodies, but hey.

Let's see...
Their ion cannons are very powerful, and have a decent range. Smaller Fed ships will experience total systems failure, where as the big boys(Galaxy, Sovereign, etc) only suffer minor feedback to weapon systems and consoles.
Their autoblasters appear to be like Fett's. Sustained fire will drop a Fed ship's shields.
Their main laser gun is nasty. I don't know if it'd drop a Fed ship's shields, but if it hit an unshielded ship, it'd hurt.
And they have a buttload of P-torps, with their 200MT yields in a 2 degree arc.
Poor Feddies.

They have a very limited supply of ammunition and fuel. They may be armed like mini-capships, but they are still fighters.

B-Wings have no ability to take and hold territory, and no ability to capture large targets. Depending on their objectives, they could probably either eliminate a Federation task force, or destroy an important system with their torpedoes, but they would eventually be defeated after the Federation had time to marshal its forces.

Send several B-wings (say, a flight) to rampage at different ends of Federation space. The rest hype to Earth and take it out while Starfleet sends ships to deal with the B-wings. Seeing as the Feddies only take up a portion of one quadrant, I think the B-wings have enough fuel for this.

the B-wings can putting in a campigan of hit and run should be able to total individual starships, but they still need fuel and ammo, and the pilots still need a base of operations.
In the end the federation overwhelms them with numbers.

All they have to do is find the Enterprise and kicks it's ass from one side of the solar system to the other (ya know, Trek is so slow, don't want to get them out to far.) Then within an hour make the jump to lightspeed and hit Voyager's sorry ass. Woo hoo. 70,000 ly in 70 years, wasn't that the quote. Heh. Wars has that beat, and that's just a grocery run.
