Regarding spaceluigi's asinine bullshit regaridng X-wing hulls being Titanium - obviously the fuckwit hasnt done all his research yet, proving what a pathetic waste of oxygen he is.

My proof? The SW.com website databank:

http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/xwing/eu.html
Starwars.com wrote: The X-wing's deflector shield generator is in the aft section of the vessel. It produces basic shield matrices through a catalyzation process, and then feeds deflector ducts scattered along the fighter's surface. The Chepat "Defender" projectors along the S-foil surfaces generate the starboard and port shields. This supplements the hardened titanium armor alloy of the X-wing. The expensive and high-strength alloy sedrellium is used to reinforce the X-wing's hull.
Apparently the omniscient asshat missed a source so obvious anyone could have looked it up :roll: Fucking moron.

I quote:

Taking out the weapons in one quadrant, would be a big waist of time, and useless. The cannons are under the shields, so you still have to knock the shields out. At this point you only have a small amount of time before the techs repair the shield, and there are a shit load of TLs. So instead of taking out a few turbo lasers, this time would be better spent going for critical systems, and try to cause a haul breech. To put it another way, it would be like fighting a lion, and instead of stabbing the lion in the neck, or though the eye with your knife, you try to remove his teeth, and claws.

This is s**t, I'm sorry but do you read the books? How many times do we have X-wings takeing down star destroys turbolarer battries, how about SOTP where the pirates, start busting the Chimruas turbolasers i one quardrent so they can kick peallons ass. And don't say thats not cannon because you've quoted it before.

Thats like saying the DS1 schilds have to be brought down before luke could of stafted it. SW schilds, extend out from the ship, things fly thought the schild barrer...
I take your attention to TCPL where Han flys along The iron fist, Lucke says "We're UNDER the schilds you can fire any time" Then he blates the bridge, COMEONE where the hell does any of that point to you needing to take down the schilds before you can blow up things on the SD?
I rest my case.

Yes, small fighters can get under shields.

Now, you will please note the small fighters that Trek has.

SO now we can prove, that ST nothing ever gets under schilds meaning that allthought weaker ST shilds have better cover.
So treck doe have a advatage.
Also I seem to remeber runabouts would do the trick nicely.
Or those perigrin attack FIGHTERS seen in DS9.

SO there.

He never said you couldn't take out individual batteries. He just said if you're going to do that, you might as well go after important stuff, like shield generators or engines or reactors.

And what the FUCK are you smoking? I direct you to ST2 and ST6. Both times, the Enterprise suffered scoring and damage, even though the shields are still up. Also, any DS9 battle involving the Jem'hadar fighter runs. They punch through and destroy Fed and Klingon ships, even though the shields are still up.

Thats because the ship's shilds fail, at points so damage can get though in one area, as opposed to all out coverage,
"Captain the PORT schild is failing ect"

Perhaps I should rephrase: shields must be under some kind of strain and fluctuating before a fighter can drop in. The CORRUPTER was being pummeled by the Rogues, their Gand and Twi'lek allies, plus nearby freighters, and the VALIENT. All that firepower managed to let ONE X-wing (Wedge) slip under the remianing shields and hit the bridge.

What the fuck are you talking about? It's quite easy to bypass Star Trek sheilds due to most of them being frequency based, just match frequencies and pass through.

As for Star Wars sheilds they have two types, (both of which are employed on almost all ships) ray sheilding which blocks energy and particle sheilds which block matter. Please tell me how the fuck a ship is going to pass through a MATTER blocking sheild.

Yep, Star Trek Generations. A BOP fired photorps straight through the E-D's shields based on freq modulation.

How did you guess?
There is one last thing I have to add, 2 more advatages.
1)Viewscreens.
2) Begin able to go fater than light while still inside a planets gravity well, makeing them inmune to intrictors.

If the shields were up, they would say they were up. They did as much in ROTJ. In ANH the only thing they said was up was the magnetic field.

A wide-screen TV is not an advantage (Unless you're a videophile. I'd love to watch LOTR on one of those things.).

I assume you mean interdictors. Which is still false, as a strong enough gravitational field can prevent a stable warp field from forming.

TNG Season 5, Ep# 111: "Hero Worship"

PICARD: Ensign, full about -- go to warp two.
ENSIGN FELTON: The gravitational distortion is too high -- we can't maintain a warp field.
