Does Trek has *any* advantage over Wars?

Firepower... FTL speed... Industrial capacity... Military tactic... Size and scope... SW wipes the floor with ST all the way to Sunday.

So, is there a single thing in Star Trek that better than Star Wars? How about medical tech? Consumer goods? Uniform look? Anything?

Nothing I can think off.

Well since you said Trek and not The Federation, I can say that Trek has every advantage over wars. How? You can find at least one example of one race that had something better then the Empire.

Holodeck. Killing, maiming, and otherwise injuring hapless redshirts since 2230.

Well, a some Federation medical devices seem to have advantages over their Imperial counterparts. Federation technology can heal minor injuries, at least, with devices that will fit in the palm of your hand. Off-hand, I don't recall anything comparable from the Empire.

So, we might be able to grant the Federation an advantage in first aid technology.

OK, I forgot about medical tech.

That's a good question.

How big are Galaxy Gun missiles? I was going to say that Species 8472 might've perfected miniaturized planet-killing "firepower" (as in, that which includes a chain-reaction) in Wars and Star Trek, but the GG missiles might be a lot smaller.

I already know the GG stuff is faster, so that's another item one could check in Wars' little box

Unless I'm mistaken, Galaxy Gun missiles are huge. You have to factor the size of the launch facility itself into the equation, as well.

The amount of Q in ST may be more than the amount of like beings in SW at different times.

The only thing i can really think of that Star Trek has over Wars is the replicator. If they had replicators at Hoth Tycho wouldn't have had to endure Wedges Tauntaun Steaks.

SW has an equivilent. "Duplicators" were first referrenced in the Han Solo Trilogy. They perform the same fuction as replicators.

Replicators however, have never been witnessed mass-producing anything, so it is safe to assume that because of this, we never see them in wide-spread use through out the SW galaxy.

The swiss army deflector dish has shown some interesting capabilities, specifically the interstellar spacial warp performed by one during Voyager.

I thought they were called "synthesizers".

Food synthesizers, IIRC, first appeared in the Jedi Academy trilogy. They can only reprocess food, and require special food packs to operate. The food that they produce isn't wonderful, either.

Duplicators are far more versatile.

They have cooler pajamas. They're so cool that they like to wear them all the time.

Star Trek ships are prettier. At least to me.

Of course, being pretty has to the best of my knowledge never stopped a heavy turbolaser bolt, but it's gotta count for something.

A GG Missile looks about the size of a corvette. Somewhere between 100 - 200 meters I think. Someone could try to scale them in the panel where we see them being loaded in and go with the scale drawing of the entire complex in EGWT.

Not that it matters though, the Sun crusher is samller and in theory it could be used against a planet, it's just more effective against a star.

...better than the Empire....apparently you didn't read.

Better than SW, which includes the archetects of the Corellian System and the Maw, and the Whills.

SW has the duplicator and food processors. Same thing really.

Yeah, but are they as promiscuous as the women on Risa?

Oh and I think we need some pictures.

Risa, Twi'lek, who cares; throw them all into my bed and I'll be satisfied.
