A disturbing theory about ST weapons figures
Moderator: Vympel
The really odd thing is that he has so many of the little, itsy bitsy detail that most normal sites screw up correct. IE The proper designation for the Nebulon B Frigate and the Genosian Fighter.
Yet he is off by other things so badly... TIEs can't even destroy X-wings according to him. And unless the "grams" in the concussion missiles is grams of antimatter, I can go down to the fireworks shop and make a bigger boom.

His sw shit is bad enought, read his tech stuff on star-trek!!!!
Where the hell does he get this stuff?Turbolasers and Superlasers
Among pre-warp interstellar societies, the standard "laser" weapon is typically one that projects a hybrid laser/particle beam capable of stun- or thermal-level nuclear disruption effects. Although the sustained-fire laser cannon is a good general-purpose vehicular weapon among pre-warp interstellar navies, its effects can be mitigated or even deflected altogether by energetic protective measures such as polarized hull armor and electromagnetic defense fields. Accordingly, a number of particularly advanced pre-warp navies have developed augmented lasers capable of defeating such defenses.
As with augmented blasters, there are two major types of augmented lasers:
The turbolaser is the most common form of augmented laser, and typically utilizes a turbine generator and banks of capacitors to build up and store the energy needed for it to generate a high-energy bolt capable of overcoming a pre-warp capital ship's defenses (as well as providing twice the firepower of a standard laser cannon). The turbolaser typically had a firing cycle of 2 seconds, though the weapon can forgo the use of its capacitors for use as an improvised rapid-fire laser cannon to deal with light enemy craft (though its mechanical mounting and minimum Type-4 size made it relatively clumsy for such a task).
In contrast, the superlaser is a turbolaser that substitutes the turbine generator for the platform's own main power plant, and utilizes vast banks of capacitors that usually occupy a significant fraction of the platform's hull. This enables the superlaser to generate energy bolts concentrated enough to defeat a planetary EM defense field as well as attaining four times the firepower of a standard laser, but it also precludes the weapon from bypassing its capacitors during operation (and makes the weapon far too clumsy for a trainable mount, especially with its Type-6 minimum size). As such, this weapon has an average firing cycle of 3,600 seconds (60 seconds as an improvised turbolaser). Accordingly, the only practical armament configuration for a pre-warp superlaser-armed platform is a single axially-mounted superlaser supplemented by an extensive secondary armament of turbolasers and laser cannons. Indeed, for pre-warp societies, the resources required to develop and build a superlaser and its platform are so difficult to obtain that such a weapon system is usually only considered when it is in its antiproton variant, allowing the superlaser to double as a strategic weapon.

If these weapons yields were correct, wouldn't Star Wars ships be instantly destroyed by the sun while in orbit of any world warm enough to be inhabited by humans?

I think so. Shows how much this guy knows, when he thinks that ships can be destroyed by power levels given off by stars.

Darkstar!
On that idiot's page is the link to http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/yoda/191/ds9/, from there click on the ST and SW ship sizes link, and check out the magnification thing on the bottom of that page.
Now check http://home.att.net/~tomjlee/startrek/charts.html, notice anything?

Probably just my imagination, or maybe not (his exayotta watt crap for Trek ships are pretty fucked up, so maybe...). But it just seemed to me like his size charts are like a total mish-mash of the ships from the half-decent size charts of Death Star Nine, like he was using 1x for the Star Wars ships, and then turning around and using 4x. He doesn't actually use the same pictures, but when a 16764m Sovereign pop up out of nowhereXaLEv wrote: Not really. I gather that you do, however. Share?

I think the funniest part is how, like a 5 year old, makes up rediculously large numbers for ST, and pretty much nothing for SW... lol

What's the difference between that site and Wong's site? Flip the numbers, and the story is similar.

He posted it as another example of your stupidity. Your site is outlandish because it ignores so much information. Wong's site is legitimate because it makes calculations based on data collected from the movies and other canon sources.

You all need to calm down. It is mentally impossible for someone to watch even a single movie or episode of ST and come up with these numbers. Just look at his scaling pic for the Sovereign. The windows on that 16 km monster would be hundreds of meters across. Somebody is fucking with the vs. community, that's all.
