You'd have to have a large fleet of Defiants to do that. One is not enough. Plus there's no way that they could have beamed it into the core.

Wasn't the frequency modulated? If so then the Borg wasn't able to adapt to it in time. If the E-D just kept firing then they would have knocked out their shields, I think.

His train of thought is X-wing > DS and Defiant > X-wing therefore Defiant > DS.

Revisiting "Pegasus": Firepower calculations...
enigma replied to Praeothmin's topic in Versus Debates
I'll have to look for the episode as I am only going by memory and the script. What the ISDs managed to do was to practically vapourise the asteroids with their turbolasers and not with missiles or torpedoes. Whereas as far as we know from TNG and also from DS9's TDIC, destroy can mean anything from destruction resulting in large chunks of the asteroid to reducing it to fine powder. It does not take as much energy for the former compared to the latter. As for the magnetic properties of the asteroid, maybe the asteroid has a lot of iron in it and it was magnetized? Maybe it was caused by the Pegasus? This episode showed inconsistencies with other episodes regarding torpedo firepower. Why would disruptors and phasers have a higher yield than the torpedoes? Nevertheless, this episode shows the photon torpedo's lower limit. As for the Romulans closing up the fissure, we do not know exactly how they did it. For all we know, they launched a bunch of torpedoes and had them all detonate at the same time. Also, 216 megatons (or 903,744 terajoules) to reduce the asteroid to 10m chunks is nothing to brag about when you consider the fact that it would take about a minute (56 odd seconds) to launch 225 torpedoes (if the rate of fire was 4 torps per second). For an ISD it would take one MTL from a minimum of 2 to about 15 shots to fracture the asteroid (Read Wong's turbolaser page. MTL firepower is between 58,500TW to 465,000TW). But since the ISD has about 200 TL then that asteroid is destroyed in less one second. Actually it would have been vapourized. Plus, if you take the BDZ into account then the average firepower per TL is 2.5 million TW. The fact is that the SW is highly militaristic and the technology they use gets filtered down to the point that private corporations can kick the Federation's ass. The ST universe are peace loving hippies in comparison. If the Federation was more hard core military minded and less U.N. style flimsy wristed pansies then yes they could put up a fight. But the fact is that The Empire alone is enough to utterly decimate all of the ST powers with the exception of a few super beings\races. -
Ok but there is nothing mentioning his abilities. For all I know he could just be an oversized bastard of a human and octopus.

I do not know Cthulhu so I cannot say who'd win.

I can also see Vader knocking Kahless around like a pinata and launching heavy objects at Kahless. Besides being heat resistant does not equal lightsaber proof. For all we know it would only delay Kahless decapitation by about a second.
-
Was this actually shown? If not then you typed a whole lot of garbage. Let's suppose indeed.
-
The big picture being that the Defiant get recycled into tin cans. See! And I didn't use math whatsoever!
-
Chop off Kahless limbs and replace them with prosthetics and Vader will win. Or, no Force but Kahless with his batleh (however that is spelled) versus Vader and his lightsaber. Oh wait... Vader wins again.

I'd like to see Zombie Jedi\Sith.
-
Ah I see. Nevermind then.

Lemme guess... he's a pedo that is out to get you since he thinks you are 9?
-
yeah well I'm reading somewhere that there's another SW book that supersedes the ICS. Something called CCS?
-
Read were it says T-Canon and the read the bottom in which the bottom line is that the OT and PT comes first over anything else.
-
It doesn't matter. There is levels of canonicity laid out by Lucasfilm (I think). Above everything else are the movies, both the Original Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy. Here's the link and quote explaining the canon levels. Wookiepedia

Never read it, nevertheless as I already mentioned, movies trumps all.
-
Because Tyralak is blind, I've opened up a thread to appreciate all beautiful actresses. Post away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!1111!NARF!
-
Nevertheless, movies trumps the CW series and even the prequel movies shows heavier firepower than CW.
-
I will not conform! EX-TER- MINATE!
-
In that case, that overridden by the movies in which the ISD's were blasting away large asteroids. Maybe those weapons in that particular CW episode were dialed down?
