How can you guys...
Think the Empire has a chance against the Federation? They use primitive lasers, which can't penetrate even navigational shields! And while Voyager has a cruise speed of 1000+ c, the "fastest ship in the galaxy" Falcon can barely due 1.5c!
And if that wasn't enough, they don't even have 1000 ships. Since Solo though that was a big impressive number, they probably has around 300-500 ships. Compare that to the fleet in "Sacrafice of Angels" which was 600 and concidered small!

I hope you are joking because if you arent this sint going to be pretty.
I will be civil others will kill you.
First they may/may not use lasers (personally I would say no, most Pro wars shift depending upon what benefits them most at that point in time ) but a 200 GT laser isnt primitive in my world (and while I have seen some reasoning that implies Federation ships can scale down the power of lasers using some technobabble diffraction I cant see them reducing the power by several orders of magnitude (in essence those "lasers" will destroy a Fed vessel with ease if you take the current somehwat accepted figures)).
The .5 past light speed means the Falcon has a 0.5 Hyperdrive engine which does far and away faster than Feds ships (its about Quantum slipstream speed I believe but it isnt upto Transwarp conduit speed).
As for the 1000 ships quote most people dismiss it (because the quote was incomplete and it seems way to small), in truth there isnt a real defense aginst this apart from just ignoring it.

Hey, you're joking right? Very funny. Anyway..
The raw 200GT power of a heavy turbolaser on a TROOP TRANSPORT should tell you something about what they'd do..
2. "The Outrageous Okona" showed us that Picard did not fear the pop gun lasers on a pair of antiquated piece of shit space ships, this does not translate to being able to deflect all lasers everywhere, congratulations on your leap of logic.
Well then, since you'll ignore all the evidence that it's a .5 Hyperdrive capable of crossing the galaxy, I'll take the quote in the TNG episode with the wargames literally, when the Ferengi refers to the fact that the Enterprise lost it's "lightspeed drive", therefore they can only go near lightspeed.
Empire has 25,000 ISDs alone, not counting other craft.
The Empire will destroy the Federation, blow up earth and turn the debris into quality toys for loyal Imperial children, mwahahaha! Bwhahaha! Huahahahaha!Think the Empire has a chance against the Federation?

The lasers your referring to came from the 22-3 century. That's around the time when the Federation just started space-faring.
Now it goes against logic of advancements to use a space faring race that has only been warping around for only 200 years to a civilization that has hyperspacing around for 25,000 years.
Remember the Federation abandoned lasers in favor of phasers b/c they could not figure out how to make it even stronger and that's assuming they use "cannons" *did they?*.
Now in Star Wars they have been advancing the laser cannons to the point where an acclamator cruiser's cannons can do 200 Gigatons per shot and that's in Attack of the Clones, who knows how much more a star destroyer has.
THe quantum torpedo can only d0 128 megatons and the phasers are even worse as they can't even scratch the paint on the ship.
The only thing the Federations would be able to destroy are TIE Fighters and picket ships like the carrack cruiser.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

These kinds of posts happen an awful lot. I suppose that by now, everyone on the Internet (and the millions watching on their televisions around the world) accepts the laws of thermodynamics and the Star Wars victory, and clearly this kind of argument has become its own parody. I suppose that now this means that it's no longer necessary to argue the point as well. I mean, look at it:
Neutral people who have taken at least (or even at most) one year of college physics will accept it, and not see the need to argue with clearly inferior strangers;
Neutral people who haven't been to college and get all their info from the movies will accept the conclusion because it's obvious.
Neutral people who've been to college but majored in humanities or something else will accept it for reason #2, and also because taking fine arts or whatever won't get you out of math class, and the mere process of going to college does impart some common sense and analytical ability.
Even your hairdresser will tell you that Star Wars is the clear winner in any kind of military/industrial matchup between universes. Nobody really believes ST would win, and those that do are marginal. So why try to talk to them?

Wrong. The Federation has at least 20 000 ships to beat the Dominion.
And that's official overrided by CANON.

Your a freakin tard! Power, its all about power. Your saying that because a main battle tank is immune to small arms fire, and a 30mm vulcan cannon mounted on a A-10 uses the same principles and mechanics as a small arms weapon, that the tank is immune to a freakin vulcan cannon.
P.S. its time to drain your drool cup.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

Zod, you haven't actually made any arguments save for generic Trekkie crap that was debunked years ago.Calling Lord Wong's site "biased BS" is a cop out; you can't refute anything in it, so you simply dismiss it in its entirety as "biased" and refuse to read it.So rather than engage in a real debate, you simply parrot Trekkie delusions (without bothering to even be original, I might add) and troll about.This isn't even amusing; its sad.

Obviously one bit of unbacked dialogue is proof to you.Did he say "Lasers onboard that type of ship" or just LASERS?
In your idiotic insult, you concede that laser power levels can be different.And those were ST power level lasers, not pissy SW ones.
CONCESSION ACCEPTED
Prove it. Picard reacted to reports of *laser activity* with fear that it would endanger his ship.they could have other weapons like torpedoes.
Why would it be Ferengi propaganda to call it a lightspeed drive?Ferengi propaganda.
You are still an idiot. You wouldn't have said the Empire is small if you bothered to do any research, you are a fool.Concession Accepted.
I SAID PROOF, NOT MORE BASELESS CLAIMS.The Dominion had 30 000 ships. The Feds had 20 000, the Romulans 4 000 and the Klingons 6000.
You take his quote out of context and make it fit your stupid assumption because you lack the brains to do any research on the subject.Solo quotes does.
